classic azarkon LR where the entire discussion is on west vs china instead of the game

really nice resilience by NB to win late game with a dk/jug lineup which was designed for early push and was down ~5k in the midgame, which im sure they didnt expect
do you have enough resolve, hero of justice?

It is when you consider Newbee's games against other Chinese teams.

And this is not the best Western team, obviously.

Ah "best" western teams like the tournaments where VG.R and wings won


Western teams always improve their skill around a huge tournament. Just saying.

Yeah, like they did at TI2 and TI4, amirite?


They did, in fact. But the Chinese worked harder in 2012, and 2014 was very close when you look at the games lost on each side, and the West was behind before the international in 2014, as shown by the results of every team except for PPD's.

Well, if you look at recent results West is behind, the only recent exception being Shanghai.


Yes, which is why this tournament will decide whether the West is back enough to take Manila.


Pretty sure it will be (drumroll) Manila that will decide whether the West is back enough to take it. Hak hak hak.

That is only if you only pick first place and ignore secondary ones, which goody just used with EG, as illegitimate..

I am using Azarkon's own measures against him, shhh.

Col had like 75% bad initiations that game. And Chessie couldn't land a spell. I'm surprised cuz I remembered that he played a decent Invoker.

It wasn't an early push lineup, honestly. Their lineup would remain solid throughout the entire game which is why they didn't go very heavy on pushing early. You could see DK was basically unkillable past 30 minutes even with Sven wailing on him uninterrupted, and they had enough point disable while only really having one person to worry about (as long as invoker gets doomed as he should).

So arguments on both sides are a melting pot, where none of you have a standard to argue against the other, but rather against your own arguments. Brilliant.

Yea their ease of execution was so much higher. If either Invoker or DS gets controlled, Col had no chance at all. Col needed more Force/Lotus/Linkens XD

You know, with Swindlezz's teams, it's always that "if". They finally look like they're getting it together, then they do something stupid.

I wasn't around for the "When did EG throw last?" days, but it must have been like that, I assume?

Yeah guys azarkon is just doing his thing.

Speaking of the game i actually felt like newbee had the better lineup overall. If coL got initiationed they were screwed as fuck but when it is newbee they had a chance to retaliate.

There's no value to using the tournament's results to decide the tournament's results.

Were Newbee to come in here and win the entire tournament, then China is the favorite for Manila, obviously.

But in case they lose to anyone other than Secret, the West will win.
