A few USA chants are fine but please don't do it too much.

Stop the stupid USA arguments, thanks.

On another note, CDEC flairs are now live. Sorry about the delay on that.

Because a team that plays that poorly should still have an equal chance of winning as the team that beat them?


Yes because cdec is the only team not given a 2nd life. The sole reason why there is no winner's advantage is due to having a hyped finals but it comes at the expense of integrity and fairness. This is not how double eliminations tourneys are run. All the tournaments like evo/sc2 etc run double elimination tourneys properly and fairly.

I win this year, sorry Chinese fans.


Nah you lost for sure. EG winning means nothing. EG were legitimate favorites to win this tournament and anyone who follows/understands DOTA already knew this coming in. Everyone who knows DOTA also understands that china has the most talent top to bottom.


Sumail > everyone in China, PPD > everyone in China, Fear ~ Chinese top players... I'm able to go on but don't need to.

China hasn't won a single tournament in recent months.

Take whatever you want from this. But I win.


You got to be careful with those words.


All of what I said is capable of being shown. Which Chinese player is able to stand up to Sumail? Cty got killed three times in four games by Sumail alone, and Cty is said to be the best Chinese player in the early game.

PPD - who has been able to come back the way he has in the pick after a loss? Who has been able to out pick every team except CDEC for one game?

Has China won a tournament in recent months? International tournament, that is, obviously. No.

Outside of Suma1l commiting everything he has to kill Cty in lane, Suma1l was losing his lane on QoP to fucking Storm. Bruh, stahp embarassing yourself, Empire top 3 was already embarassing enough.


Sumail beat Cty in two games, was even with him in one, and lost to him in one. Sumail > Cty.

Even if every single game is like this one, you will not find a lot of people complaining as long as it's EG that wins.


Yeah except half the thread is people complaining the game was boring.

Which it was for the most part.

Smokes should be removed from Dota =/


Why?


This entire TI has been all about smokes... It's such an artificial way to create aggression. Hence why smokes take forever to regen... It's just like a free artificial chance for aggression every smoke.

Were you here in the pre-smoke era? 90 minute games with a score of 3-2 were commonplace.

Anyone not-shit can avoid ganks with decent wards. It becomes a battle of push vs turtle EVERY GAME. Smokes were the best solution at the time to create a more interesting and dynamic early game.


I started playing Dota at around TI3, so I'm relatively new.

But just like... Change the game to create aggression in other ways. It's clear that smokes aren't necessarily, as they aren't used much in pubs (I'm a lower level, but maybe 1 in 10 games we use a smoke... While 10-20+ wards every game).

Anyway, maybe make wards weaker, or create more incentive to attempt ganks. The counter to a smoke is just to send everyone to your base, and that's just silly imo.

I feel like the fact that Shiki apparently does not play leshrac is going to have a big inpact in the drafting for the rest of the series. Seems like such a weird thing too. I mean Leshrac is not that weird a hero to play, that your midlaner just does not play it, doesn't make much sense to me...

Dude, get this through your head.

CDEC didn't have to play a set against another team before the finals today. THAT IS A WINNERS ADVANTAGE

not only that, they got more material from the games others palyed and could prepare better. in the loser bracket you might unveil strategies and drafts you wanted to save for the finals because it is do or die.

i mean cdec still had a chance until they decided to go left towards t1 top instead of right towards sumail

like even if they couldntve killed them they would have forced him off his stacks and not fed 3 kills top randomly
