The Chinese scene looks absolutely dire now. I don't see them catching up in the next 2 seasons.


I don't believe in catching up. I personally think the meta has to have a huge shake-up to level the playing field and then that meta must just click with one of the chinese teams. They have skilled players, teams... just OG has the game figured out this year... and the year before that.


Nah, LGD was the team that understood the meta the most last year. They should have won it, but they didn't. Just PSG bottlers thing.



LGD really should have won TI8, but OG was able to out-execute them with their strategies. Also, let's not forget, Ceb had the game of his life in Game 4 to turn that game. This year, OG was the best team in groups and looked it on Main Stage as well.

Next year will be different, like it always is.

Totally agree. Before the finals I thought: If I had one wish would I want to win TI or look as lit as Tsunami? I couldn't make my mind up :D

Its truly baffling how superior OG was compared to all other teams


They understand the meta better than any team this TI: Hit your timing and deathball. Simple as that.

Absolutely not.

Whether it's Alch, Mag, or IO, they win most of the time with the same strategy: hit a timing when they are much stronger than their opponent and run them over. It isn't rocket science mate.

In fact, Liquid adopted this strategy in their LB run and went to the final. But OG is just better at it.
