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. |

deadmau5 has a music item in the dota2 store. He's been working with Valve. It's sort of cool to see deadmau5 live?

So let's agree that the winning ceremony awkwardness isn't just an asian thing. These guys just aren't fit to act out in front of many people.

I still blame the pyrotechnics while they were still in the booth.

taxed? etc.? IIRC newbee paid 30% last year in taxes? I could be wrong but I thought I read that somewhere. Yep, tax rates should be somewhere in that 25-30% range. I don't think EG reveal how much money they take, though I recall last year they had something like a 7 way split. http://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2015-pakistani-teens-esport-dream/This article says that the org takes a 10% cut. that's it? wow If 80% of your salary comes from prize pools, you wouldn't let the organization take a big cut. Well, EG players get like 6 figure (or close) salaries apparently, so the org taking a bigger cut would be a fair gamble for a lot of teams.
Of course EG players are sitting on a teamhouse made of money now, so it doesn't really matter either way.

no analysis of the last match? too bad

Being not very excitable is what make them such a good team they keep an even temperament. I know that they are happy, they just suck at showing it.

Should've just stopped watching after Tobi hyped the winning team. Better left there.
