Ohhh how times have changed, I am still living in 5 years ago when asians hid in the jungle for 45 minutes then decided to play. Fucking meta changing, ruining my perception of things.

You weren't around last year, were you ?
Yeah, everybody was saying that Secret cracked the patch with their advantage into rice, but apparently not, the solution seems to be to fight at all stages of the game and stalling will cost you map control. Exactly what the patch notes alluded to.

Yeah, it almost seems like an extreme response to some past criticism of asian teams. I think in past years (granted, different patches) asian teams had a rep for well executed but boring farm fests. They weren't very aggressive and didn't do crazy stuff. Now, they still don't really do crazy stuff. But they're super aggressive, non stop, and early. And they still are well executed.

Not sure how you see Bounty Hunter and PL and then go "well let's pick no damage heroes like Razor and Tree, so we can make sure we have no way to end the game in 30mins". How did they even plan to win this shit? They sure as hell weren't going to push high ground, did they feel like they'd base dive them with spiritbreaker and treant living armor and hope they'd give up even though a single tracked kill would give them like 3k gold if they were behind and they had by far the strongest lategame hero in the entire game?
Dumb match. At least first one was kinda good.

Sad seeing secret lose. Been a fan of kuro for like a decade and Puppey is such a boss. Must be pretty rough for rtz/zai seeing EG sitting in Top3. S4 had such a dominate game 2 and then just fed sooo hard game 3.

Reports are that Sonneiko checked out of the hotel in the middle of the night and flew home on Monday. People figured Navi disband/reshuffle, but I wouldn't be surprised if he ditches the team. For a team like Navi, walking away from TI5 with a small 50k is horrible. After the team gets their cut, the players will be lucky to get 7-8k each.
Offseason drama will be insane already regardless. Too much money now to stop it.
Now, the question is if it stays sorta regional/language or if the whole fucking thing just goes all pro-sports.
For good or bad, no fan has a team loyalty at all but instead we like certain players or occasionally, certain styles. That's horrible for potential team managers or "team branding". Can you imagine if Twins fans quit cheering for them and started cheering for the other team when they traded a pitcher? Oh my.
