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. | ||

Think of it like a bunch of upstarts trying to deny xiao8 from becoming the first repeat TI champion. ROFL, I think it's ironic that LGD is from group A and CDEC is from group B. | ||

Mobility also means he can't initiate fights often, whereas common offlaners like clock tusk ds etc almost always can. Needs too many items to really be useful but if you go something like midas you're just gonna get run over by most good teams. Not super good in aggro dual lanes that are currently popular. Only role you can maybe do with him is a greedy 4 pos jungler and that's hard when there's bounty hunters in every game and bloodseeker is being picked. | ||

Sister teams in combat with each other. EG doesn't deserve Grand Finals after that shameful display with Razor. | ||

It clearly is a better story (ex-b team of lgd looking more dominant, the stealing of Maybe, Director8's return run... What does eg bring to the table apart from the old boring western hope thing?), only perhaps harder to sell to an American audience. But, you know, mainstream audience can be found not only in America. And people enjoying a good storyline will fire up more for the many-faceted story and rivalry than for West vs East. I don't think it's a bad storyline, it would be a good one. I've just been rooting for EG the whole year and think it's also a good storyline. Fear one of the oldest active players finally getting a chance to play again at TI and getting the aegis. Getting the oldest person and the youngest person to first win the international. As well as that would be the first time an American team won. Every international before was won by Europe or China. | ||

I was talking about the statements that Chinese finals would be worse story-wise or in mainstream appeal. You make some good points I have not considered, though I still prefer the master v students story. | ||

I just hear a lot of, "stupid fans only rooting for EG cause they are racists and don't like to see the Chinese win." Which wasn't you, just wanted to point out EG has a compelling story too. Though if it's CDEC vs LGD, I'd root for CDEC. What a crazy run they have had. But that said, let's go EG! No more Razor! | ||
