why you hating to the crowd man ?


I did the same thing when, at ti6, the crowd just yelled "MOOOOOO" for the entirety of about 7 games. Everyone wants their team to win. But when one side is so overwhelmingly preferred, it gets old quick

It is also perfectly normal for homecrowd to not cheer for team playing against local and favorite team, but i can say that i do not envy poor fools that will cheer for non-Chinese teams.

At every TI held in Seattle, the crowd would always shout USA USA USA when an American team played. Getting mad at the Chinese crowd for being biased towards their home teams makes no sense. Plus, teams like OG and EG got plenty of applause and cheers when they were introduced at the opening ceremony

Worry not, A-god v2. The crowd won't be silent. They will be booing and waving terrible towels. Just for you. <3


I don't think you should give me that title; there's no way I can live up to the legend

I think some people are worried that the crowd will be very quite in west vs west matchups which we will just have to wait and see for. Personally I don't think it will be an issue but we won't know till it happens

Well, he was literally irrelevant during 7.21 in CM.

Seattle was always more versatile, because it hosts people from all over the world, including American Asians, that are usually more loyal to Chinese teams, than American. Shanghai like Vancouver is like 80-90% Chinese, thus overwhelmingly shouting for the Chinese.

Also it is common knowledge that China is extremely patriotic. It is what it is. I don't blame them at all, but it is not very great for a global event. Trying to pretend otherwise is extremely disingenuous.

Jesus christ, such a good viper game, too bad VP won't pick it.

And yeah, i have now suspicion that LGD are either very confident they don't need to expose cards in hand to beat VP (they are right) or they lack in versatility which can backfire.

No one picks that hero unless it's against Bristle or Spectre. :'(

Also, I'm pretty sure No[O]ne hates the Atos build.

it would have been a hell of a lot better than whatever they're going to put mid for sure.

I don't get around to playing much anymore. Does break disable pseudo-passives like tidebringer?

It disables auto-cast on pseudo passives IIRC.

Hmm, I'm not sure (it does break Chaos Strike and Jinada). Nethertoxin would break Kraken Shell, Blur and Coup de Grace though.
