You realize they went to 12 tournaments, including 2015's international, and didn't win a single one of them? I'd call that a fail regardless of whether you get 2 to 5 in the international.


Give it up for now, dude.
2016 current standing :
1. China - 3 titles
2. EU - 2 titles
3. SEA - 1 title

Please worship western dota again after they have more title in 2016.

Then the next Manila will decide whether they are the best. For now I'd say it's even, at best.

Many teams win because they were the first team to figure out the strategy for a tournament. Koreans did it, Miracle's team did it, VGR did it, and now another team has done it. It is what it is.

Thing is we are at the end of a patch, not every case you mentioned fits the given context.


Game develops regardless of whether there are changes.

Yep, but what you say is a bad generalization.


It isn't. The teams that win are usually those who find out what to do in a tournament, not the teams that just play the best with the same heroes.

Man, you generalize when you say China is bad and you get picky when a chinese team rocks a tournament. Get your opinions right. That is why you get called out so bad this time.


Can't agree with you more. Azarkon really likes this double-standard trick. American government's trick, tired of this.

The old chinese teams and players are still bad. Don't kid yourself. At least the scene has started to crawl out of the shithole of shanghai major.

Win TI or disband. It's prodota's 4th commandement.


Didn't EG win TI and disband?

Yeah and secret is did the same after their major win. In fact, whatever, pros are weird.

Once BH got 6 Wings started dominating the game, his early game levels didn't really matter in the end. You could even argue that BH having track earlier would have made Liquids many early kills more valuable
Why are my allies so weak and pathetic?

Look guys let me explain the Azarkon narrative

Chinese team wins with fresh picks = They just found a loophole in the meta
Chinese team wins with old picks = Oh look they can't innovate
Unknown Chinese team wins = They won because no one studied them
Known Chinese team wins = China has no new blood

And as always, don't forget to mention that the Western teams just obviously weren't trying that hard and will stomp at the next major/TI.

To be serious, here it's just Secret and Team Liquid being bad.

SLTV was a much stronger case. Now, we know what would have changed in the top standings if Secret and Liquid were there - absolutely nothing.
I think their strategy is to dumpster bad Western teams (c) uriel

No. Once Bat got his Blink, wings dominated the game. The 2 kills on spectre using the same modus operandi won the game. Track didn't matter at all. Bounty's main contribution in the game was just a mobile ward.

Don't worry, because of me everyone will state China is the best until Manila and then I'll be right again.

Man I remember that, they looked sooooooo intimidated by Burning and co in the booth, like they were facing a literal god

Now burning is playing on Team Dumpster and their team just won an international LAN title, gotta love E-sports
