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.


Patches, Meta shifts, personal conflicts and a lot of Chinese teams probably terribly ashamed of how badly Shanghai went.

Plus, everything is prelude to TI and TI operates differently from Weekend tournaments. You have a very different Meta in the Bracket, and it's all about how you adjust. But this is also just game 1. TNC will have to win a second.


Not to mention, i think this is the most random dota weve seen in quite some time, seems like noone actually knows how to play the game right now.

There was always a meta that you could see, even in meta changings TI, but this one is still a clown fiesta

I hope they go further than OG. This team is seriously fun to watch.

So if MVP and TnC both make top 8 (or higher), is SEA going to make Jimmy Ho a patron saint of DotA or something?

At least make him a statue.
Average means I'm better than half of you.

They looked really good in the Group Stage. 7th/8th is probably where they top out, though. They're not quite smooth enough to be a title contender, but, well, 7th/8th is a massive amount of money.

Pro Dota is so much about Draft + Captain effects. So 1-2 good captains are what makes everything.
