man I don't see how liquid can win this at this point. such a dogsht draft.

everythings going wrong lol this is worse than the EG vs liquid game 2 stomp

sad way to end a pretty exciting tournament

LOL BIRTHDAY SONG LOL

it all makes sense now with the birthdays

kuroky had a gift for puppey,

he called it game 4.

LOL that ending WTF ahahahah

I have to say, the final day of the Shanghai Major was run pretty much perfectly. If only the entire Major was done this way. Massive props to the new production team. No idea how they managed to fix KeyTVs mismanagement. The ending was a little sudden but whatever, no complaints there.

The concert was great.

the great reshuffling has begun

RTZ off EG pleasee XD

1 less ego, 1 more championship

not sure if serious but he played much better than sumail this tournament, probably still the best position 1 in the world.

Sumail still hasnt found his groove and favourite picks in this patch and PPD is putting him in **** situations with his drafts

shutdown sumail early and beat eg was the strategy this tournament it seemed. he wasn't great at coming back like we have seen in the past. i dunno if sumail can play carry but it'd be interesting to see RTZ on mid.


wow, did Super really retire? that's sad, I really like him as a player... kind of like FATA, very solid mid. also Hao might retire too, only 25, and still quite a good player imo.

w33 was like a discount sumail/miracle for a while but he really stepped it up this tournament

filthy invoker

wow just wow. nice hotel staff and **** shanghai

lmao

Damn the hotel staff must be a bunch of morons. The key to ROTK's Maserati is missing as well. Lolololol.

Anyway Super should have been out long ago. He's not keeping up with the times imo and he's nowhere near a tier 1 mid. Shiki should be kicked out of CDEC as well.

Woah.

New Ehome: old eleven + old chicken + iceiceice + LaNm + fenrir
New LGD: Agressif + Maybe + xz + xiao8 + mmy

LGD is stacked to the gills. Holy.. The new Ehome has decent potential as well. No confirmation yet on the reshuffle.

ye lgd looks good

this game is so tilting to actually play. I don't know how people do it

The mute button is your friend.

The amount of scapegoating through both rightful blame (though a bit unfair as theyre often expecting TI level play from their 3k teammates) as well as faulty logic and results oriented hindsight can be pretty intense. I recommend finding people to play with instead of depending solely on the matchmaking system, just 2 friends will do as you can just (hypocritically) blame the other two (Peruvian/Russian) players in your team for everything that goes wrong. And don't expect people to become friendlier as the game progresses, just mute them instead. Chances you'll miss out on relevant communication are slim.

You do occasionally run into a nice communicative, constructive team of randoms though which can be very fun (even if you lose).

lol @ all those changes. i do like the xiao8 tho as i thought he was pretty huge in getting newbee the TI4 win. rest of the changes are whack though

xiao8 basically takes two seasons retirements every years then picks up a team a few months before TI to rack up dough

id do the same.. lul

to whoever was laughing at me for suggesting many chinese dota players were getting 6 figure contracts, sylar and MMY both had 150k last year (no streaming included), and now everyone is saying that it's supposed to be too little for sylar.

Didn't they (also) have entire teams living moderately in tiny flats a while back?

wow no garder? he was best from cdec imo... well him and agressif

cdec still alive though, sylar will be on there supposedly (kinda got pushed out of lgd)
