Thus far my predictions for the every qualifiers has been pretty spot on. Newbee will continue to dominate through the qualifiers even over Ehome.

I'll be happy with any of these teams advancing I think, either some good old "established names" (as long as ehome pick up their game) or some more new teams.

This is the Ehome we thought we were going to see. Two out of the five players do not have the skill needed to be at the top, and because of it they had to change so much they aren't able to make the best use of the other players.

Nice to see CDEC's second team using this to win, still don't think they're going to win Newbee though.

Do people just think they had the money to keep Cty and Kaka? Nobody knows why they left.

Sure, had they the money, all they had to do was:

Keep Cty and Kaka
Buy Sccc from Newbee

Then they have a top team.

people say he was kicked because he questioned lanm's drafts sometimes..it is natural tho when u pick safelane dark seer in elimination match for your tempo controller ..anyone would be pissed

Point is they had way better chemistry with cty and kaka and definitely the stronger/more fun team to watch. Guess real winner is kaka and losers are ehome and cty.
Unless ehome pull a miracle and comeback from lower bracket
Once again iceiceice showing he is a really overrated player although he did have some ok games a while back.

yea, but DK always used to play long games to comeback from deficit. i saw them defend high ground and make a comeback..Ehome are just waiting in the base to get eaten alive by sven and puck

rooting for ig.v in the next match..hope they win

iceiceice was playing better support than Lamn tbh, they should get another carry if they want to hold on to old chicken and let Lamn play support.

They were dead once they lost Cty. Kaka for Fenrir isn't too bad, but there are no players that they could get that would be able to replace Cty that aren't already on teams. At best they could try to buy Sccc from Newbee's second team, which is a waste of his skill, but knowing Newbee, they're not going to give any of their top players.

Lanm's struggling super hard to either fill Kaka's shoes (Doom etc.) or make his own heroes/style work. I don't think people really appreciated how much Kaka did for old Ehome. I think I'd rather have him back of the two.

I feel like that DS wasn't supposed to be for the safelaner but there were arguments in the drafts and lanm prolly picked the hero anyways or someone from the team had a strong opinion over another hero which lead to a non-wellrounded draft

I prefer Kaka than Fenrir. Fenrir seems too safe and not as flashy. Just really stable but I think you need to shake things up in current meta/patch.

Well even in the Ehome house walkthrough with Iceiceice he said that KaKa was a very very good player.

They really need a MMY/FY/Kaka type of player, but neither lanm or fenrir fit that role.

iG.V has alot of tools for teamfight and pickoff people n stuff but i think newbee draft is better overall prolly easier to execute

Lanm's struggling super hard to either fill Kaka's shoes (Doom etc.) or make his own heroes/style work. I don't think people really appreciated how much Kaka did for old Ehome. I think I'd rather have him back of the two.


Old Ehome road Kaka's Earth Spirit to most of their results in 6.86. Without Earth Spirit, their record wasn't very good.

Who's drafting for Newbee? (Datdota is down for me.)

And is there a chance that this means Kaka is the best play in China right now? Considering how valuable he was for old Ehome and current Newbee?

Newbee looks very deserving of the chinese qualifier spot, much like how DC looks very deserving for NA.

Still not convinced by the SEA teams though.

even with the best team ever called Hearts Got Together aka HGT .. kaka was still pretty good with that team

That's why I'm curious who's drafting. China's problem at Shanghai was no one had a clue how to draft within the Meta at the time. That's why I'm curious who's gotten a lot better.

I think it wasn't just drafting that they lack, it was synergy, the teams looked absolute shit in teamwork and playing as one. Well not anymore seems like all the "scrim-tournaments" are grinding their gears back.

Kaka is draftin iirc ?

No one was ever close to taking a single game from Newbee. Can young team do it?

EMOHE and VG are going to disband yet again. Sylar. CTY, old eleven, Fenrir, BurNing new team hype.

IG.V did not play well in the late game is what i saw. Invoker trying to backdoor with all 5 heroes alive for EHOME and 3 of his team dead. Cost them a game they were always behind in but still very strange decision making from ig.v

Exactly, if it was elimination match of a major, they would be ALREADY ATTENDING A MAJOR, dammit.

So, it's an elimination match of a qualifier, not of a major.

That means the Loser of the Winner's bracket final would potentially have 11 games tomorrow (same for all regions). Ideally they should simultaneously play the 1st two playoff games, and subsequently the loser's match and the winner's match. Guess they don't want simultaneous games in playoffs.

It's max 9 isnt it?
Using china example;
CDEC Y 1-2 Newbee
CDEC Y 2-1 EHOME
NewBee 3-2 CDEC Y

Oh forget its bo5

But still it is set out a bit better. Also you need some sort of advantage in getting to grand final via the winners bracket after all.

Yeah the bracket is from normal qualifiers where winner of winners final is 1 spot and then losers final = 2nd spot. However due to only 1 qualifier spot might as well have changed it abit.

It's a double elim for one qualification spot. That's a little weird I guess, since only one placing actually matters.

I just realised that without a wild card match valve don't have their usual excuse to invite backup teams. Maybe the 2nd placers will be backups?

I don't like there being a losers bracket when only first place matters, it's very blatantly unfair in this format. Take Newbee for instance, they're still undefeated, and say they don't drop a single game against CDEC.Y tomorrow. Then come the finals and whoever they go up against manages to beat them. Poof, Newbee is now eliminated while having only been allowed to lose one series as opposed to two series like everyone else. It's stupid and goes entirely against the spirit of fair competition.

Seeing as this is just a qualifier too, I don't really see much of a problem with just moving the finals to a separate day for instance if you want to prevent whoever comes from losers bracket from having to play too many games.

I still don't understand why there's even a fucking losers bracket in this qualifier to begin with. Might as well have gone all out with a bracket reset if you were gonna go full retard like this.

Wait what is the problem with this format?

I don't like there being a losers bracket when only first place matters, it's very blatantly unfair in this format. Take Newbee for instance, they're still undefeated, and say they don't drop a single game against CDEC.Y tomorrow. Then come the finals and whoever they go up against manages to beat them. Poof, Newbee is now eliminated while having only been allowed to lose one series as opposed to two series like everyone else. It's stupid and goes entirely against the spirit of fair competition.

Seeing as this is just a qualifier too, I don't really see much of a problem with just moving the finals to a separate day for instance if you want to prevent whoever comes from losers bracket from having to play too many games.


It's the age old problem with the dota-style double-elims into single elim grand finals, except the problem is infinitely magnified because second place gets absolutely nothing here. There's no real solution I think, outside of making the whole thing single elimination brackets (and not lining up a potential 11 games for the same team for the final day of course).

I don't know why none of these teams can win Newbee. All I see from Newbee is the same strategy again and again and even though they play it well, it's though other teams lose their ability to fight and think when they play Newbee.

I remember kpii back in the MVP days when he qualified for weakest carry of TI5. At least he's definitely upgraded to a better player.

Teams from those tournaments did win them. Newbee hasn't lost a game. It's not the same.

What's the difference they still lost in the same time period. just like navi to vg.r and tl/col to wings.

33 different heroes picked in this qualifier in 12 games.
and you call it same strategy.
I guess the same strategy you mean is 'play dota2'?

It doesn't matter what heroes you use when you use them the same way. Every game they win, they win by team fight. Even when the other team has an advantage, they can't close it because they lose a fight trying to push into Newbee, else lose a fight because Newbee push into them. This is just simple out play.

What I don't understand is why Newbee is so above other Chinese teams in this.

No, many games are about getting an advantage in other ways, and then taking a fight when you're already going to win. Newbee doesn't do this. They don't always win the early game; but they win every important fight.

So basically every winning team ? lol

literally eg or secret or coL or OG or mvp or just any other team that is winning

you find what newbee is doing done alot by eg in the past just pickoff heroes take objectives find a fight with advantage and rinse+repeat

the same logic can be used against wings will the other "top" western teams beat a weaker chinese team(wings)

but there's a merit in what you say though it's not exclusive to western teams but also SEA (mvp/fnatic ) too newbee need to be tested against them as well

Drafting for synergy. The major dysfunction at Shanghai had to have been personified by VG: brilliant team-fight coordination, terrible heroes to team-fight with. Kaka & Fy seem to be drafting really well lately, and that's much of the difference.

As for how they're playing, the top teams will simply ban Newbee off their favored carries and drag them late. Dodge & Avoid the team-fight and backstab them.

The interesting matchup is against MVP.P. MVP pretty much plays a "bait ganks into 5v3 team fights" style, most of the time. (They draft around showing up quickly and being able to reengage. Good strategy, but they have to be playing at their peak skill to be stable.) So there's a real potential for some fascinating Cat & Mouse games.

Yea. Always said this. If you give iceiceice a strong start with a tempo controller offlane, you can count on him to take over the game. He is very reliable in this aspect.

But if you sacrifice him, then he becomes very inconsistent and generally ineffective. Almost like he tilts.

i think winter said that he always believes there's one big play he can make to come back, so the worse he does the bigger risks he takes.

Yea. Always said this. If you give iceiceice a strong start with a tempo controller offlane, you can count on him to take over the game. He is very reliable in this aspect.

But if you sacrifice him, then he becomes very inconsistent and generally ineffective. Almost like he tilts.


i think winter said that he always believes there's one big play he can make to come back, so the worse he does the bigger risks he takes.


don't let him gamble. keep doubling down until you win.

Hmm newbee has gone 12-0 so far. They shall lose 0-3 and then we can all whine about how shit a double elimination format is when there's no winners advantage or reset XD

i wouldn't blame the format .. since that's a 3-0 loss

but i'll blame volvo for wasting a chance to put a really good team in manila who now got fluked etc etc .. if they win i'm just gonna say waste of chance for a new team or another team in the manila major just because they put newbee in the qualifiers etc etc

either way i'll blame volvo for not inviting them over lgd or maybe alliance lol

You can actually probably blame VG.R & Wings. (More Wings, realistically.) Working it out, I'm pretty sure Valve really only wanted to invite 10 teams, but the way the Majors system works, that's not really going to fly. (Unless you fly the 2nd place teams from each region out for a Wild-Card Qualifiers)

If Wings and/or VG.R hadn't made the finals of the two LANs, and it was just Invite teams, then Valve would have only done 8 invites, more than likely.

Seeding them sounds ok too but only if there were multiple qualifier spots. Anyways i'm totally ok with inviting lan winners

It's the non-lan winners and those who didn't do well in the majors that got invited are a bit unfair.

Valve could easily invite Shanghai's top 6+ VG.R + Wings actually.

But then they would be shafting OG, Alliance, Navi into qualifier and that is not pretty, so they went ahead with inviting them too.

And LGD because "why not!?".

Its:

Ehome: Lone Druid, Enchantress, Dark Seer, Dragon Knight, Earth Spirit
Newbee: Phoenix, Doom, Tidehunter, Disruptor, Spectre

(I missed the actual drafting phase so highly unlikely that was the order they were picked in)

I'm also unsure what this Ehome draft was supposed to do. The Newbee draft is solid and in their wheel-house, but the Ehome draft just doesn't make much sense to me.

Not saying that we're watching great dota in the Qualifiers, NewBee executing all kinds of strats and better from ahead than other qualifier teams.

Good farming spacing and asserting map is better than European team No Diggity. They're also very decisive on the ganking. NewBee also don't throw as hard. (Hao please come back!) The hard thing to say is how well NewBee play from behind or how good these other Chinese teams are compared to the Europeans.

EHOME has a draft that wants to 5 man towers but they are playing against a draft that has far superior teamfight. And if EHOME doesn't group up to fight, I don't see how their situation would have been much better. Newbee has the superior heroes for a split up game too.

Does feel like a pure outdraft. If anything EHOME had win the early game harder and then basically win by 20 minutes.

Lone Druid finished level 17 and Kaka the baws was also level 17 xd
But i always think u in for a bad time when you let Kaka get phoenix, he is the best phoenix player in the world by a long way.

Newbee is clearly a Tier 1 team, but we'll see what happens on LAN. Previous Ehome's drafts could be badly messed up if you banned out Kaka, and with Kaka drafting and, seemingly, shot-calling, that's probably a weakness that hasn't been exploited yet.

Though I'd like to point out that pretty much no one in the top 6 of the WePlay LAN would have drafted Enchantress over Bounty Hunter with first pick. >_> Especially against a heavy 5-maning Newbee.

That was a really nice ravage, but ultimately completely useless since EHOME apparently has no synergy whatsoever.

Why Newbee had to play qualifiers is still an absolute fucking mystery to me.

Yeah i hope valve look at this manila major really hard for the invites to TI6. If expected LGD will fail to get a decent showing in Manila they have to be removed from auto invites and put into qualifiers.

Doesn't exist. That hero is not a flashy playmaking hero. Basically 1 spell FFS.

He was picked to give Ehome an easy lane and then transition to a mid game where they win with TB illusions chipping towers. Too bad that fight after they took dire tier 3 was so badly executed they lost any chance they had. TB going for lifesteal with infest was not the fucken play.

That possibly explains why viper didn't dominate mid I guess. It made no sense how alch and viper had same cs pre 6.

But still not defensible to be tanking tier 2 top tower for no reason when creeps wasn't even there yet. Plus the many other feeds before the game spiralled out of control.

I agree with what they're doing. The only way they're going to take a game from Newbee is by making them not understand the game.

I thought you said Newbee knows how to play against this.

You were saying? Newbee forgot how to play against Axe for a minute, but now recovered.


What I see is that Newbee has a hard time against a new hero even when they pick all the best against it.

What i see is that Newbee are losing teamfights with techies on other side of the map, so and now EHOME returns the favor.

although EHOME is playing their clowny lineup right, newbee is kind of not optimal but dealing with it.

He got the Tier 3. I feel that death was worth it because they can't push off of that.

i think the notail quote only works here too

Notail's quote actually fits this game better.... but that galaxy backdrop is so damn perfect!

Time to see how Newbee does in an international tournament, now that they've shown themselves to be the best team in China.

Ehome needs to understand that it's not the pick that's the problem, but the play. Their players just don't have the skill to win Newbee.

Yea , I was also surprised by that draft .but that draft had no synergy unless they get their combos right . toss into bombs or call into suicide type of thing.. Idk ,but it felt like cheap attempt at trying to do something new in important game.

It actually worked in a sense and newbee was forced to play clumped up. The techies mines didn't actually put them behind that game but the vision from it and mines going through smoke it ruined a couple of newbee's rotation which eventually forced to play scared.

tho it didn't matter they won nyways .. they have naga

i don't think a normal style would've worked they already tried that .. it seems that newbee is just clearly the better team this time around

I think the Techies draft in itself is a p good sign for Ehome. It shows they're not afraid to think outside the box and do very weird things like that, I feel that's a very good trait to have. If they just actually played better, I think they could have won that game.

i think the question right now is

is newbee one of the S-CLASS / tier 1 teams right now (i know they haven't proved anything yet internationally but we haven't seen this level of domination for quite sometime, especially out of Chinese scene)

A-GOD say something

Though they absolutely dumpster China, they still haven't been tested against the best outside china so we can't still say but potentially they may be one.
