its almost as if these tournaments have multiple teams with similar group stage performances that didn't have to play each other to establish a clear top team early on so depending on which side of the argument you favor you can cherry pick teams that were a favorite and won or a favorite and lost

ti2 is actually hilarious to look back on because ixmike complexity and demon EG were both near the top of their groups and got blown the gently caress out by china immediately in the main stage games.

I wasnt here at the time, but this sounds really strange to me. Chinese dota was super-strong in both 2010 (dota 1) and 2011 (dota 2, ti1) was it not? I'll openly admit that my only knowledge of that period is from legends of EHOME and TI1 videos on youtube.

yeah, ti1 was a bit of an outlier at that point because none of the chinese teams had as long to practice in it. this probably sounds like a massive excuse but i remember watching a dota1 tournament shortly after ti1 with a bunch of chinese teams and basically not a single meta pick was in dota2 at that point (chaos knight, bounty hunter, brewmaster, shadow demon, etc.) if you go back and watch ehome vs navi pretty much everyone on ehome looks loving lost for a good reason, they were picking poo poo like safe lane doom bc they had no idea what the meta looked like and just got that far because most of the western teams were godawful full stop.
