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.

Heaven's Halberd is the most criminally underbought item in Dota. Together we can stop this.

Disgraceful game by cdec! This is why no winner's advantage is a joke!


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.


Jesus you're annoying.

Maybe all the tournaments like evo/sc2 are run "properly and fairly". No dota2 tournament is, and TI is a dota tournament. Who cares about starcraft and evo ?

It's probably coming from people who never visited an e-sports event and forget that people take breaks or came only for the finals.

EG already played today, so there's your winner's advantage.

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.

As someone with actual experience i can say ya that Suma1l lost the match-up he was supposed to win, won the one he was supposed to lose only due to lucky invis on techies and won the match-up he was supposed to win hard.

Silence is a good skill and that hero chases good. It was a good pick to make shit happen.

And his ulti were damn spot on to eliminate a support and it really makes ww thinks twice before using the ice block.

Fighting games also run in bo3 bo3 and sc2 uses bo7 (and is still used often to point at why winner's advantages are bad). I don't see how either of those examples are good.

The tournament isn't fair from the very start. So that makes no sense. If fairness was the goal then you'd just do a massive group stage and end it there so at least everyone ends up playing everyone else.

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...

you can't always paly every hero. it's why some palyers or even teams flounder in specific metas while others flourish.

This.

It is what it is, please lets not debate the validity of CDEC not having a "second life", like in every tournament ever.
