Chinese management must be pretty damn terrible, for them to not even care that their players aren't motivated to practice.

Teams manage themselves. That organization has only ever done shit to begin with.

ice did say he preferred a weak start but strong finish rather than the typical VG pattern of strong start but weak finish.

The Top Western teams are the poster childs of no practice. Alliance and EG are probably the most pub-spam, anti-scrim teams around.

actually now that i think about it

vg's trying to do an eg impresonation or osmething ROFL


EG tends to drop games early because of weird over-extensions or Roshan fights. (EG should just not team fight at the Radiant Top Tier 1.) In VG's case, their game 1 & 3 drafts were just bad. They gave away a bunch without getting anything in return. Game 2 they got Earth Spirit, which is all that mattered.

VG was the better team, but you can't recover a terrible draft when the other side drafted well.

That's still practice.

Chinese teams don't even play Dota.

Alliance? Based on what? From what I remember Alliance was known as the most hard working team practice wise at the time they won TI3, and even now they had their bootcamps and what not.

which isn't necessarily inferior on paper

chinese pubs also tend to be less chaotic and egotistical on avg, from what i hear... u know mayb being molded in na is what gives ppd strength

EG is honestly surprisingly non-single.

PPD and Fear both have Dota-adjacent gf's. Universe is prolly still sneaking off to forbidden trysts with Aui. And Artour has his bromance with EE.

Poor Sumail.

Maybe back then...

"Streaming team" was a meme for a reason, and it only really stopped because they started winning, not because they stopped streaming.
