Truth be told, at least to me, James seemed to dare to be fired.

the question is what happend behind the scenes. maybe perfect world approached valve that they are unhappy that 2gd is making their event entertaining and then valve fired 2gd because they wanted to keep the relations with pw on good terms.
if it was a decision made by valve without perfect world being involved, then yeah. fuck valve. maybe learn how to run a fucking tournament series.


I don't think they did, not because they're not capable of it but because none of this makes me believe the Chinese even care about the Western market. You'd need to watch him and know English to know what was going on, and I just don't believe they actually used the effort to do that.

This is interesting..but left me in wonder,they way ehome and VG are playing,are they seriously even trying to win anything here?


no

no chinese team has even practiced dota cuz of the holidays, and the general "i don't give a fuck" attitude

i would seriously not be suprised at all when archon manages to somehow get top 2 in groups over LGD and newbee


sure,i also would not be surprised if archon takes top 2 and all chinese teams start at lower bracket,.idk but i think the attitude needs to change ..that is just plain wrong,imo

Honestly, compare CS:GO's panel, to even LoL and now to DotA 2.

This event's panel was actually fun to hear with James now everything feels dead. There is literally no energy from anyone of them aside from maybe Synd.

I'm glad I didn't buy anything from this major's compendium. Valve doesn't deserve it.

They were directly to the right of the English Panel. That much I know, though they didn't have a huge staff there. Per some discussion of it.

CS:GO panels are the best then Winter/Synderen.

I can't rank SC2 panels since I kow too much about everything.

Just bring the major back to frankfurt,as a frankfurter myself I enjoyed it so much, going after work to one of the central places in the city and watch some amazing dota / amazing crowd with friends for the evening.
Was such a great time (for me).

James has hosted TIs plenty of times before this. He doesn't need any help.

He said a few years ago he stopped because a previous TI was bad enough that he didn't care anymore. So Valve finally pulls him back and allows him to be himself, the person we have all gotten to know in years past and he suddenly gets fired.
