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.

Ok, glad we can all go to sleep now. 1 hours delay on the LF first match means the entire LF took 5!! hours, which means it's 5AM over here at the moment. Please cut down on the 'road to' crap and start the matches at the time they're supposed to. 6 matches don't take 10 hours.


Yes the players resting and having a break before the biggest games off their lives is less important than your beauty sleep on a weekend.

Please be a bit more self centered, your not quite doing it right yet...

Why was Invoker weak this meta? He might come around for a future one.

Outlaned by too many popular mid heroes, and if you're going to be playing from behind mid, takes way too long to develop because he needs too many levels before he starts really contributing in fights compared to other mids.

Also incredibly vulnerable to early support smoke pressure, even more so than a hero like SF (who is already one of the more vulnerable mids that get played).

I dont remember seeing a single invoker in main event.

It also lost all 4 times it was played during groups.

In all honesty though, TI5 might very well be the largest prize pool for a little while... With the majors in their current form, I don't think we will see more than 18 million.

The player base from last year only increased 5-15% looking at this:

Same, but I think PPD had a very specific idea for beating CDEC and with everything on the line it's unsurprising he drafted similarly 4 times in a row

Doesnt matter, the company is incorporated in the US. You can hold the event wherever.

Majors will probably have alot of outsourcing so then taxation will vary based on whose resources are being employed for what.

how do you know which ones are iconic?

Their by far some of the oldest and have been competitive for a long long time

And some of the most popular as well

A bit off topic, but what are your costs to simply move a company elsewhere for lower tax rates?

Considering it doesn't really matter where Valve is located to do their work.

Pure player numbers isn't the only factor. Just as important is the question on how rich they are and if they are willing to spend money. If you can change those % with the same amount of players the money goes up. Getting more players is probably more realistic though.
