That was the worst final. First international I have watched since I started playing dota and it was so anticlimatic... Can't connect with any of the players on Newbee, even after winning they were all so emotionless...

At least rtz antics can be pretty entertaining. These guys can't even show some emotion after winning 5M.

please this is just china, did you not see how they flipped the fuck out in the booths after they won? china has a tendency to value public image over a lot of stuff. so what if they don't look excited? guarantee you that they're cheering their asses off inside

Leave it to China to find the gayest way to play the game. When focus moved away from ricing carries, they transitioned into 25 minute deathball pushes.

The Western scene is very busy with a lot of tournaments, but tbh the previous tournaments have been pretty close but I think they are becoming more and more saturated meaning western teams just play instead of actually practice.

Newbee had a good advantage of not coming to the western tournaments and just focusing on improving, Alliance had a similar thing last year where they only really put effort in to G1 League.

The meta is just heavily focused on 5 man tower pushes, VG exploited this a lot vs. EG where they just focus the tower, ignore the heroes, get the XP and gold and GG push.

Newbee didn't even have super push lineups at all. Krob was banned every single game and Mu played standard mid heroes like brew and puck. I don't know where the whole "cheesy gay early deathball" shit comes from when it was just vici fucking up really hard and not learning from their mistakes
