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.

[quote]
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

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.


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.

I guess that's the nice takeaway from it.

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.


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

Just put it in Korea. Mecca of competitive gaming + SKT dotes.

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)

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.

Yeah Korea not having the big dota fanbase is bad too.

Moscow or Cologne sounds nice too. Or another Vancouver

CIS TI is long overdue.

I think there's more overdue. In addition to their regions not getting equal representation in tournaments, two countries are far and away subject to the most lopsided amounts of abuse from the Dota community as a whole without ever getting meaningful chances for their own communities to be highlighted. Manilla, however, has had large tournaments before. Lima hasn't. Give SA a major.
The world is better when every background has a chance.

Man the commentators and analysts just down playing topson always getting solo killed mid is so annoying. No one is willing to just say that he dies mid a lot because he is out classed by most other tier 1 teams mid players

og's mid and offlane is like alliance's
topson is s4 who focus on game tempo while the farm and the dps role fall to offlane i.e. ceb and bulldog

They just did say that tho. They pretty much say Topson dies alot and only cares about creating space for Ana.

Which is mostly true and working super well for them

As a laner he 100% is. I have never seen him win a lane that isn't a favored matchup for him. Mids like Maybe sumail noone midone are able to win lanes they should lose. I have never seen topson do that.

Dying solo mid isn't making space though. He literally just solo dies to tiny mid. How is that making space?

What does it matter if Topson gets solo killed when OG ends up winning most of their games anyway? Topson is prob overrated but if anything it goes to show that being good in lane isn't his contributing factor.

Ana is like 1/2 the GPM as last game, but LGD might be in a worse position.

Topson not playing safe most of the time is kinda what made OG really hard to play against.

Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. If topson is good in laning, he would be a more valuable player than Ana already
