Chink Dota is worst Dota[/QUOTE]

this makes literally no sense

unless the people betting are able to make over 3 million or so dollars + profits for themselves to pay VG to throw (I mean why would they just settle for second unless a deal like that happens?) there is literally no way

[Minimal86]

[QUOTE=Suttles;45458608]You do realize the items and other things you get from the compendium more than pays off the $10 price tag...right? You didn't have to pay to watch TI4.[/QUOTE]

Shit Final, Shit TI. Same heroes every match, and Faceless void Remodel. All of my hope for Dota is lost ATM

[titopei]

[QUOTE=ThatSprite;45458543]we paid $10 million for this?[/QUOTE]

We can't complain, they both earned their spot in the grand finals. It's not like the crowd voted for the finals like pro wrestling

[ZombieFleezus]

at this point I can't see TI5 getting 10 million after that

Do I need to repeat myself?

[zipziggy]

[QUOTE=ghosevil;45458532]what the fuck do you expect?

that was a fucking shittyafFUFFFAFFFF

I feel robbed.[/QUOTE]

they just fucking won 5 million which is good knowns how much in chinese currency? are they even fucking human

[Maxumym]

So, your favourite match of the tourney?
Mine's Game 2 of Titan vs Newbee.
That comeback.

[Rarara]

[QUOTE=TheMercWithAMouth;45458638]at this point I can't see TI5 getting 10 million after that[/QUOTE]

Yeah it will get 20 mill.

[Swiket]

I feel bad for anyone who took work off today or missed classes to watch this. Why are the grand finals on a Monday anyway?

[PresidentGandhi]

[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;45458613]Worst grand finals in the International history, hands down. And it's nobody's fault so I can't even blame anyone or really complain.

This is dumb.[/QUOTE]

This, basically. And despite that, people are going to be raging about this for quite a while. I'm quite mad too.

*raises hand*

World Mythology would have been more fun than this.

dk v eg series < this seris should have been the fuck finals

cloud 9 with sing sing on meepo

[brokenCrown]

that was really underwhelming.

i hope TI5 isn't a total stomp too.

[Jzzb]

I'm not even mad about this like I was last year when Alliance ratted to victory, I'm just extremely disappointed in VG like what the motherfuck were they doing in that game

[Krogag]

I enjoyed watching those 2 minutes of black screen on the stream than the actual final match.

[Rarara]

I guess that's what happens if a team is really good.

[Exooodus]

Maybe that's what happens when you play under the pressure of attaining $5M.

Keeping your cool in a situation like that, I couldn't imagine it.

[Perhaps?]

I scoffed this off yesterday but this guy got the finals right too what the shit

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/KIO2YMS.png[/IMG]

but why rig it in such a boring way, that's the real question

[uber.]

[QUOTE=Valiantttt;45458588]you 'paid' 10 million dollars for seeing the best teams compete and the best team will win.

doesn't fucking matter what the result is, you knew what you would get and that is what you get.
stop whining please. VG didn't play well enough THE END[/QUOTE]
The whole "we paid" argument is questionable but you can't deny that the final match was fucking disgustingly anticlimactic.

[Kondor]

at least we got techies, a void model rework, a new spectre voice pack and a pa arcana

:(

[Chickens!]

Winnings have been tallied on dotalounge

:([/QUOTE]

So nothing good?

[Maxumym]

You know, I wanted the finals to not take too long because I didn't want to have to stay up too late.
But not this fucking short holy fuck.

[Swiket]

You'd think that if Valve rigged it, it would've been less anti-climactic.

[Bordey]

[QUOTE=TheMercWithAMouth;45458638]at this point I can't see TI5 getting 10 million after that[/QUOTE]

TI5 compendium needs to be fucking [B]amazing[/B] if they want to reach decent money for it again

[unlimi_Ted]

The good news for me is that I wasn't home for the lower bracket matches and the all-star match but I downloaded the replays so I still get to finish on good matches.

[PresidentGandhi]

[QUOTE=TheMercWithAMouth;45458638]at this point I can't see TI5 getting 10 million after that[/QUOTE]

This is what I'm really worried about. Valve went all out to promote TI this year. They even got it to air on ESPN 3 in the US. An ending like that to arguably the biggest e-sports event thus far...it's a worrying thought.

I can already see papaya nagging about this for a while.

*sigh*

Well...now what?

[Maruhai]

you should've listened to me

EDIT:

nevermind, he probably just posted every possible match combination and deleted all the wrong ones

Back to the grind.
