According to Xiao8, Chuan, Nahaz, Merlini, and three of the four there, as well as various other people who talked about it, yes. | ||

I mean what did you expect from the 3 Chinese predictions? (I don't know if Nahaz's predictions should be counted). Pretty obvious that they will favor a Chinese team. Even us Koreans were surprised by MVP's win, and Secret was hardly a big underdog going into the group. | ||

Anyone except ppd are talking out of their asses, imo. The last time ChuaN was right it was 2012 on a calendar, and xiao8 always roots for China no matter what. I don't understand why he didn't chose Vici/LGD for that matter, though. | ||

Merlini is not Chinese in the sense of "his Chinese ancestry makes him predict Chinese teams are going to win," and it's not just them. Russian and European analysts said the same. Only about 20-30% picked PPD's team and no one picked anyone else, which is just lelz to me. | ||

He chose EG as a winners obviously. Also, when the team clearly 0-3's you in a previous tournament, no fucking way you tell public they aren't favored to do it again over the teams that didn't set such an accomplice. | ||

But then you have to understand how Chinese Dota works to know that. I think "Ehome is one of the favorites" is a valid statement to make, given their results, but saying "Ehome IS the favorite" is ridiculous. | ||
