Why is EU dota so bad this TI?


I think the top teams in EU play no games, since they just want invites.

Meanwhile China has had that Dota League where all big teams played a huge round robin, etc.


I think it's far more "peaking too early" effect. Newbee, OG & Liquid are all in the same spot in the bracket at the moment. Top 3 @ Manila & Epicenter.

The meta changes away from what you do best, and you're trying to figure out a way to solve a problem that you already have a solution to.


Maybe, though still doesn't explain why the EU teams have been so bad. Alliance, Secret, and Escape as the EU qualifiers have been very underwhelming.


Except Liquid & OG, who was even decent after the post-Shanghai shuffle? There was a lot of tier 2 teams that weren't very consistent. There's a reason why Synderen made TI.

But why is EU so bad?

In the majors, especially after Shanghai, the feeling was the EU if based on merit should have 8-10 slots at the next major lol.

I actually thought dusa with mjollnir on herself could kinda stand against PL but no, as soon as the mana is gone dusa is gone too and PL is barely scratched.
