Cerepol posted:

Which should be more exciting?

CDEC vs Vega or Archon vs Phoenix?

the former should be higher quality dota and also has a russian team(davai davai), but the latter might be clownier and Korean dota also tends to be fairly aggressive

I would focus on cdec/vega

Yeah those at TI are the best at DOTA, the Wildcards are just not the best of the best, they are like the Least Best or Worst of the Best, still pretty drat good.

plus the team from the americas and arguably the team from sea

This TI5 is already so much more entertaining than the last one, I'm so glad they decided to steal all of HoN's teamfight 24/7 gameplay ideas and rolled them into this patch. This is great.

TI4 was actually a pretty good tournament with a pretty bad finals

Fng seems like the most easygoing drama-free guy there is. Illidan is like Russian EE, combining Burning-like farm with the occasional misplay and subsequent rage. Phobos was a guy Navi had managing their web site when he should have been playing Dota. Lil is probably the second best Rubick behind Fy-god.

Empire doesn't do a lot English interviews, so they're sort of an empty slate to me. Great Twitter account, though.

both are Cool and Good
