Never seen that before + Show Spoiler + EG picked a comp that needed to win hard early/mid game, because it doesn't scale at all, in comparison to CDEC (Razor is a lane winning anti-carry, vs PL which scales really, really well into late; eventually PL is impossible to kill for EG). Their comp needs to win by 30-35 minutes, and they fell behind completely. | ||

In a way though, I respect that call more. Save energy for the lower bracket slog rather than going through the motions for another 20 minutes. | ||

Don't really think this has a place in eSports or at least we shouldn't encourage it. They encourage it in the Olympics and the World Cup. Why not E-Sports? | ||

Leaving the discussion about if nationalism is a good thing or not aside ,both those events are national events that take place between countries. TI takes place between teams of players and not countries. You are comparing apples to oranges here. In other club sports you may typically root for the teams from your country when player other countries but I have never heard people cheering for the country itself instead of the club at such events. The only time I have ever seen this happen is esports events involving US teams/crowds. | ||

I'm not sure how club sport works in America but at least in football you can have a squad made up of mainly non-locals. That's why Champions league is a much higher level of competition than the World Cup. It's a competition between clubs from different countries that craft the best squad they are able to. It isn't a competition between the best the countries have to offer. In a way they do represent the countries local club competition but again that isn't the same as representing the country itself. All they represent is the club on that field. I don't really get what's not to understand. Instead of cheering for the club they cheering for a country. It feels disrespectful to the club and is rather silly in the context of what is going on as well as no one else doing this in any sphere I know of. Funnily enough all the Americans comment one way and non Americans comment another so far lol. | ||

There really isn't, it's a generally played up rivalry when it happens it's just people like to be contrarian and take it way too seriously. Oh no they're shouting USA or TSM boohoo I'm going to complain about people having fun because I don't like it. On a more on topic offtopic. The TI games I've catched have been fairly entertaining despite my lack of knowledge. I would however like to know more about the teams/stories behind them. | ||
