I don't like picking Korea for any prospective TI when the country lacks that historic or current footprint on the Dota scene. I mean, the game is so minuscule it barely registers on PC bangs. Think the crowd would be 95% non-Koreans or some other ridiculously high figure. I'd think Cologne or Moscow would be good places for a TI10.

Isn't korea kinda expensive when it comes to stadium events ? But probably not that much compared to others
I just thought it would be expensive considering how big the kpop industry is worldwide and the korean stadiums being the standard for where their kpop stars concert alot. (i could be really wrong as i know nothing about this shit)

Italy or Monaco would be nice. Singapore would also be pretty solid. Though all of those would be really expensive.

I really like to pretend in dota people just play dotes but somehow IRL shit leak into it.
Next time time TI should just honestly be hosted on countries well known for not fucking up with these kind of things. Like perhaps canada or germany.

TI is currently being held in a country where the citizens are rated on their support of the country and that is currently crushing political opposition in Hong Kong. The fact we aren't having more issues is pretty nice.

Not saying Kuku wasn't at fault as it was all his own fault why even the chinese crowd hates him but harassing was totally uncalled for. And how do i say this. Idiotic. Makes you think how those people thought that was even ok.

The booing is just post hoc rationalization because people have been saying this for months (as evidence by them saying it during CQ) when there's only been booing at TI.
There's a huge difference between what kuku and every other racism incident: Kuku didn't give a sincere apology. He lied and pretended he wasn't being racist, and then when Valve officially banned him and told TNC to stop stirring shit, Kuku was immediately on twitter playing the victim. He doesn't deserve to be harassed and chased to his room but the booing is totally deserved. He acted like an immature brat from start to finish

I think people are butthurt about the booing and chasing players on their room. Which never happened before ever.
Also probably about them being who gives so much shit but can't take shit themselves.

There's plenty of threads on reddit to fill the details. They basically boo Kuku/TNC all the time and after their loss they still screamed insults even outside the stadium into their team rooms.
You don't see that shit before till now. And ceb insulted the russians or mindcontrol before but the next event on russia they didn't do that
Supporting hometown teams feverishly is totally ok. Harrassing players outside the game sounds retarded tbh

Yeah Korea not having the big dota fanbase is bad too.
Moscow or Cologne sounds nice too. Or another Vancouver
