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

There are just too many strong last picks imo but it has nothing to do in this exact game. TNC played above their usual level and OG played terribly, it should have been an easy win for them but 1 man chronos all the time, notail caught a bazillion time etc

Doesn't matter really, by all expectations OG should've stomped 2-0 easily.
