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.

One bright thing in VG's lineup is Shadow Demon, and if this game goes long, Aghs will absolutely destroy Bristleback.
