Going to be lelz when people say Chinese teams got an easy group in A, and then both of their teams are at the bottom.

I don't really have a high regard of CDEC or Ehome (after their series) either but how the fuck are you confident in Secret?

I think you said nearly 3 years ago, that Korea would dominate China after 2 years.


If Korea got half the interest that NEXON league was suppose to create Korea probably would have or even a quarter of the player pool that Korean LoL has.
Doubtful. The difference between LoL and Dota other than the steeper skill ceiling in dota, is that a lot of the Western player have 8 years of experience. In LoL, the Western players had a lot less years.


Experience matters for shit. Just look at who the top players in Dota 2 are now.

Players with 8 years of experience?

Aren't many, if any, top players that haven't at least pubbed for half a decade.


Sumail, Arteezy, W33ha, Miracle, PPD...?

Sumail and Arteezy were hardcore pubbers for like 6-8 years or something. PPD was a HoN "pro", but sure, I'll give you that.

No clue about how long W33ha and Miracle have played Dota.


By that argument, those Dota players who went to League of Legends ought to have destroyed.

Told you outright that I'd give you the PPD one.

What argument are you talking about?
Average means I'm better than half of you.

that was a really good disengage from cdec, they were going to lose some thanks to the double buyback but they took t3 and lost the minimum

good on them for learning from their previous mistake

Then you'll see that A LOT of the top players in Dota, especially in the West today, do not have top Dota experience.

And arguing that playing at a low level in public games = experience... That's just ridiculous, I'm sorry.

This game is terrible. It was only a matter of time before the weakness of Secret's core players is shown. w33, envy and misery all have extremely limited hero pools. Only reason why they were dominating the previous patch was because of WR and Ember. Now we see their sub-mechanical skills on other heroes.
