I want TNC to win (it would also make the ENG casts have less bg noise) but if they lose and liquid win their bo1 then they would face each other again and that's a pretty spice timeline

They aren't clapping for good plays at all. It's total silence when something that isn't a chinese team doing vaguely good things. That's loving lovely as hell, dude.

also I'm like 90% sure valve's solution for the chinese announcers coming through so loudly on the english stream was to just pod down the crowd so it makes sense that the super hype moments will come through really easily but everything else will sound like silence

It's obviously more of a home crowd then other TIs, mostly because it's hard to justify going to China without being paid to do so.
