It's a team game, how is that relevant to if one team is worse than another?

was impress me the most is VP
split the good/great team they had in 2 only to create 2 awfully bad teams

Never thought Id see the day when Azarkons posts are the most reasonable on the thread ... by a mile!

Eventually there would have been a bkb but there were other priorities first

Because PPD told him to, I'm sure, which is why I think PPD's decisions that game weren't the best. They'll learn, I still feel they had the advantage in the pick against Newbee. They just didn't play well enough.

10/10 bait

Pretty sure we will have a better idea of who the best western teams are in a few days. The confidence people have in evaluating teams is silly when teams haven't even played much recently and it has been proven time and time again that teams can improve as the tournament progresses.

oi oi! tralia leading the charge Boo hoo Crying over ethnicity now How bout eg 2 American 1 indian 1 pakistani 1 Chinese
Not enough aussie in that team.
I'm attempting to feed the troll btw if you didn't get my sarcasm of how newbee is not a "true" China team

I still think VG is a much fiercer opponent than Newbee. I mean, ppd's last ban game 2 clearly shows he didn't research Newbee at all. Without a Naga, his draft should've reigned supreme, honestly.
Summit 5 Chinese quals should be fucking good.

You're saying EG did better despite both games being worse than Secret's.

Let's not go crazy with azarkon baiting. When CN teams really really put the beat down on western teams, he does come off as reasonable. But after Western teams beat CN teams, that's a different matter.

meh newbee rekted but honestly though they are just on form right now
all it takes is for some one to get sick or some rpging and the draft problems will come back and bite them in the ass.

10/10 bait Is it? Is it really?
Edit : Also I think at this point Newbee>Rest of China=West confirmed. I dunno where drafter Kaka has been for so long... but these drafts are like genius level!

I would've liked to see that game go to maxed radiant alch with 4 fed aghs vs 6-slotted triple dire core.

Well, he did call Secret one of the two best Western teams.
In a tournament with Team Liquid
