Wings Gaming wins 3 - 1 over Digital Chaos! They win 9 million dollars of over a 20 millions dollar prize pool and a place on the aegis of champions! [media]https://twitter.com/dota2updates/status/764667096160579585[/media]
GG DC. Super young team beat out a ton of veterans and got 2nd when everyone thought they'd lose first round.

[QUOTE=TheNerdPest14;50882332]Really? Good to hear an underdog win![/QUOTE] Wings weren't really under dogs, but they are all new compared to most other players.
Dammit, I was really hoping a a Chinese team wouldn't win.
I quit watching the stream of the third game after the first 20 minutes because DC was getting stomped on so hard that it became depressing
[QUOTE=The Pretender;50882443]Dammit, I was really hoping a a Chinese team wouldn't win.[/QUOTE] If you don't mind me asking, why? It's not like the scene is dominated by Chinese teams or anything. There were 2 Chinese teams in top 8.
[QUOTE=KillRay;50882278]GG DC. Super young team beat out a ton of veterans and got 2nd when everyone thought they'd lose first round.[/QUOTE] Just like CDEC last year.
What the hell? This went fast as fuck. I thought the tournament would go on for some days.

Wings is different because of how unpredictable their hero pool is but IMO the grand finals were extremely boring to watch regaedless. On top of that, China rarely produces underdogs thay actually have a shot - the fact that DC got so far in comparison was absolutely wild and it would have been incredible had they won. Honestly, even the casters didn't sound [I]that[/I] hype in game 4 when they ended up winning.

I was rooting for DC, they played really well up until the finals but the fatigue started to show against Wings. As usual with Chinese players, they didn't even seem happy about winning. They were just half assedly holding the Aegis with the look of someone who is forced to be there.
What are you on about for the above DC got out drafted in the last two games and badly outplayed too. Losing game 2 broke them Timber, Void, ET need nerfs
[QUOTE=Cock Boner;50883437]IMO the grand finals were extremely boring to watch regaedless[/QUOTE] idk that fountain hook to save slardar was really cool to see its funny because I was saying just hours before the match "what if someone found something like the fountain hook and pulled it off this year" and then they did lol edit found it [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3GorsDNwhU[/media]
[QUOTE=FlashMarsh;50884811]What are you on about for the above DC got out drafted in the last two games and badly outplayed too. Losing game 2 broke them Timber, Void, ET need nerfs[/QUOTE] I'm on about the exact same as you apparently because nothing I said contradicted what you're saying.
