Thats a shit excuse really. They had advance notice and if I was competing for 3 million dollars my family can live without me for a week or two.


u have no idea what is chinese new year..shut up honestly..


Why not be civil and explain its significance instead of telling him to shut up?

CNY has a deep cultural significance in China, and Chinese communities worldwide. The essence of it is Tuan Yuan, or unity, specifically referring to family ties. It is strongly expected for Chinese to drop everything and make the long journey home to their family for the two weeks (I think?) that the CNY holidays span in China. This will also involve a lot of visitations to relatives' households, feasting etc etc. It's like Christmas, Easter and the Regent's birthday combined or something.


Thank you so much for this. Its easier to understand now. Cant teams practice during the day for a couple of hours though? Or do they need to be with family for 24/7

they can, but it's harder to organize team practice in any way because a lot of them come from different places and stuff, and they normally have a teamhouse the rest of the year...

i mean im not denying china does and has sucked, but that they suck especially this major does have a pretty valid excuse imo


western teams manage to do that stuff without a teamhouse too

Gotta remember that the rest of the family (AKA the non pro-gamers) probably work 6 days a week and like 10-14 hours every day.

They probably live in different areas, so meeting up as 5 is out of the question. It probably isn't very polite to be at home and yet not playing host to relatives visiting. Different schedules, only practicing online, lack of good opponents during the holiday season probably add up to the starting assumption that there will be no practice during those two weeks for anyone, and that finding an effective alternative is pretty difficult. Considering how common team houses are, Chinese teams probably don't like the idea of online practice either.

it's just a chinese tradition thing..to practice and live in a teamhouse..western and sea teams practice in any condition and thats a plus point for them.

what china needs to do first and foremost is to not build their whole scene around chinese new year. that they reshuffle their players only in this time period when the dota scene revolves around the international for 5 years now is just flat out retarded.

You know, I was ready to agree with this, but then I remembered that Fnatic was also made up of Chinese players.

yea thinking on it, teamhouse environment may not be good for getting to the top level of dota... eg seems to operate by having 5 people really think for themselves most of the time, and then have ppd mash it together when big lans hit

trying to think as a group all the time may lead to huge blind spots or just limited drafting in general

I can't speak for Malaysia, but the traditions are much less entrenched in Singapore, and I would assume the same applies for Chinese communities in SEA countries in general. I've only heard second-hand about China's practices, and it has always appeared to be very well observed in general.
