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.

How hard is razor

Very hard. That hero is terrible. You need to be very impressive to to get shit done with that hero.

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 lost, China won at least 3 tournaments including 1 international LAN with your favorite-before-TI team.

They won 2 premier tournaments of 11. And only SL12 had decent western opposition.

Things are like they were back at TI3. East has 4-5 top teams, West has 2. West 2 are probably a little ahead of the pack.

I would argue that West only has 1 worthy team now and everyone else (Chinese included) suffer from nerves.


So what you're saying is, the only team in the world that has no problems with tilting is PPD's team?

Well then.

Reminder that you said China was terrible because Western teams shuffled and made all-star teams after TI4.

It's fun remembering all the things Azarkon has said.

Not to agree with Azarkon but right after TI4, China had 3 of their top captains (xiao8, ROTK, LanM) and their best carry retired. If those guys had stayed retired, China would be in deep shit right now.

Secret is not ahead of the pack.

They were until this tournament, you can't erase every result before this. It's impossible to tell whether Secret has dropped or just had a bad tournament.


Secret has ever had a problem where they end up tilting when they don't win easily. It was, to a degree, an understandable fail. But I do agree that Secret was ahead of other teams till this tournament.

Man what happened to azarkons huge erection towards secret lmao

That win involved about as much tilting as CDEC have right now. I can see a repeat.

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.


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


This.

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

That's really arguable advantage since you can say EG have the momentum, while CDEC have a fresh match.


The concept of momentum is something so silly in sports... As it has virtually no resemblance to the literal meaning of the word.

EG had 2 hours to think about plans for CDEC, already a bit tired, probably prepared 99% for LGD. Yeah, I dunno, I don't really buy the winning the previous match gives you an advantage for the next match.

At worst, EG and CDEC come on an even playing field, and I think that's fine.

I don't think you've ever seriously competed in sport if you think momentum isn't a thing. When you're on a roll, you feel incredible, and when you feel confident, you do everything better. Maybe not for absolutely everyone, IDK, but certainly for the vast majority.

Not to say that it's necessarily an advantage to be coming from the LB here, but the idea of momentum in sports (and so eSports) is utterly legitimate.


The better you can handle your emotions, the less it will impact you. I think that at this level, the morale boost you get from winning your previous game is minuscule compared to the exhaustion from last game. I think that people overestimate it, because they imagine how they'd perform in that situation, when they handle it a lot worse than the pros. I've been on badminton teams and swimming teams, as well as weightlifting, and when I fail a lift, I can go do the same weight unphased even if I failed it previously.

Obviously just talking out of my butt, and some research in this would be interesting.
