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.

EG is the least skillful team of the 3 and relies most on PPD for drafting advantage. You can see it in every team fight execution.

This patch is fairly braindead though. The strategic options are really limited.

Are you seriously thinking the owner of LGD will be "rich" only after she won a couple million dollars?

These Chinese team owners are mostly insanely rich, she or her father probably worth $ 100 mm and above.

What do really know about ruru?

LGDis one of the best operated teams precisely because it isn't owned by 2nd generation wealth.

A couple of million dollar can still make you richer

The end of a TI is like the end of a whodunit crime novel. No matter how much you approve of who's left, it's not as exciting as when the outcome was completely open.
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer

Look at their LoL team roster. I wouldn't be surprised they paid over $1.5 mm a year in salary alone.

For those who don't know, they have the 2nd best LoL team in China and probably a top 3 LoL team in the world.

Honestly, i do think that CDEC will choke hardcore in finals no matter who wins lb finals. There is a reason they have not won anything (even small) in China. not that it makes their run any less impressive, but EG should honestly just think about how will they cheese Master8 out of tournament.

People have been predicting the happening of them choking since a few days ago...lol

They literally destroyed LGD, who they had most trouble against, and destroyed EG in the most convincing way possible (out-teamfight from a huge deficit and then a complete roflstomp).

And i honestly expect choking exclusively in grand finals, really. Would glad to be wrong, because that would be most impressive storyline of the year: bunch of old new pros going from 2nd place in Chinese qualifier to 1st place at TI5. Not to mention that it will mean that Azarkon will shut up for once.

People keep hoping they would choke at some points, but they keep giving us bugattis after bugattis.
The famous CDEC LAN choke meme is a thing of long time past tbh. When they lost in final it's often that they lose fair and square due to being inferior at that point in time and not really choking.

Also, the reason they have not won anything in China was because they are so new with their current roster. Maybe left for LGD in March. They did place 2nd at G-league losing to LGD 2-3 in the final.

It has been said elsewhere that losing Maybe was an enormous blessing in disguise for CDEC. In their previous form, CDEC seemed like a rookie team being used as a vehicle for an up and coming star player. In their current form, they seem like they are firing on all cylinders, make the most of everyone on the team.

Hardly. Me, you and any other sane person would rather see the underdogs take it. Not only is it the best story of any TI but it would also be what is absolutely without doubt best for the scene

Sadly national bias and people loving big huge corporations stomping small people rather see EG take it all

speaking as someone who would like CDEC to win, are you seriously saying that everyone who wants EG to win is crazy?

As an EG fan you should be pretty happy about that, if you ask me LGD and CDEC are the better teams and EG mostly won their games against topteams by outdrafting them. The only way they beat CDEC so far was by drafting Techies twice.

Yes, Ruru has nice personal networth.

It doesn't excuse the comment about "or her father". And you never group ruru with the other Chinese team owners when talking about team finances.
