I bet if Liquid win this 3-0, western audience still think it is better than TI4 because a western team wins.

The reason TI4 was disappointing was because if you have a bad start you basically should GG because TI4 was still played under the 6.7x rules of "you can't come back if you die too much."

Today we have comeback mechanics and while they've changed over time (from huge gold bounties for any gank to huge gold bounties for high level heroes like cores) LFY proved that the system can actually work and you can indeed turn it around.

TI4 gave the "why can I surrender from pubs" crowd ammunition. The last game countered them. No, you can out-play a miserable start.

The reason TI4 finals sucked were because it was a push strat getting rolled early on 3 games in a row.

They would play out exactly like this even in the very next patch which had the strongest comeback mechanic in history of Dota.

Post TI4 meta was actually great and rubberband ruined it. With a tourney before TI to showcae the power of push in the same patch TI4 could have been great.

Pre TI4 meta was actually great as well. Even TI4 meta was great if you ignore the fact that the best strat sucked balls.

Big problems with NB draft - two do-nothing during lanes supports, and a carry that needs to win lane so crushing it barely matters. You can't first pick BS, you absolutely can't pick Nyx and CM as supports, especially against NP. I honestly don't think you can pick Nyx except late in the draft, actually. And I think maybe a Furion ban is warranted, which also effectively neuters the Lich pick, whose own do-nothingness is negated by the Prophet.

So NB need to utterly change their draft to stand a chance.
Did you ever say Yes to a single joy?

Ti4 finals were considered bad because
1. VG knocked out DK, From Western pov, probably the most beloved Chinese team of all time
2. VG knocked out EG , the new NA hope. This was during Rtz's massive rise.
3. VG then proceeded to use the same strategy n the Grand Final despite failing over and over. No innovation , no metagaming, feels like they settled. Maybe the patch didn't allow it but felt like they didn't even try.
