damn, it like as if Pacquiao has a boxing match today. Everybody's crazy about TNC in social media, given how fanatical pinoys with dota are.

I want TNC to keep playing against Chinese teams as long as possible so that I can read translated Chinese memes about it.

Paparazzi is going to get roasted, hard, if VG loses this series.

I don't think Paparazzi was the one that drafted a donothing Magnus

I think Magnus did fine, he could not afford to do some half ass RPs, he had to hit better and better RPs as the game went on because VG's teamfight was lackluster, he had too much on his shoulders.

Not blaming Fade, Magnus was just a bad pick partially for the reasons you stated

The draft as a whole was lacking CC, I don't see a hero which could have completed the other 4 while not leaving VG totally helpless against rage or BKBs.

Well, if they win here, they get LGD. It's extremely unlikely to see another Chinese team in the tournament.

Well, that only happened because of a few Classic Jimmy moments. They actually should have been in Upper Bracket that year. But that win over OG was quite a special series.

You also have to remember that you notice crowd bias more when it's against your teams. As someone who tends to cheer for the Chinese teams (though not the slightest bit Chinese myself), I've watched so many tournaments where I feel no one ever cheers for them. 90%+ of non-Chinese fans in live audiences seem to cheer for pretty much every non-Chinese team over every Chinese team (with the possible exception of Burning/Fy teams). The only reason it's a bit more balanced at NA TIs is because there's a large contingent of fans with Chinese roots there.

I do hope it gets better this TI though. I mean the level of sound seems fucking amazing, would be awesome if it were more balanced.
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer

Something like a Shaker or a Tusk, heroes with good counter initiation and relatively low cooldown CC. Magnus without his 2 minute cd ult is just a buffbot which is pretty bad when you need that CC to teamfight and are buffing a carry who is himself reliant on long CDs to fight.

VG slowly lost the game because they'd get kills without RP+Omnislash, then TNC would just buyback and take Rosh or something which gave them time to get their buybacks back because VG was afraid to fight into Aegis. Or the crap at the TNC high ground.

Lul...Heen just mentioned that the new feature to be able to hear your team speak during the match to catch the emotions is quite cool but they did not speak english during the game, so he was not able to understand what they have spoken.

Oh come on, I don't remember such plays being followed by global silence in other tourneys, no matter the team.
