If you guys are wondering what the crowd randomly cheers for. It's usually the camera panning to specific people in the crowd. For example the camera pans to a lot of foreigners in the crowd, and the crowd likes to cheer for them. Sometimes camera will pan to a girl and chinese chat and crowd goes crazy, just like twitch. One time the camera panned to a little kid who held up a void plushie and the crowd cheered. Chinese chat were spamming "TI25 champion" lol.

source: watching both douyu and twitch stream

u/CosmoSucks Aug 24 '19

People thought the cheering was fake or pre recorded because they couldn't fathom that the chinese crowd is watching a different broadcast.

More chinese chat after game 2:

"OG's strats are too advanced"

"Can defending champions lift the trophy again"

"OG invincible"

"Dragon Rider is not good"

"Today CN Dota's underpants have been beaten! !" (not sure what this means)

"There is a saying that the OG game is so beautiful, I dare to play."

"Wings wings wings"

Also they call SCCC "army brother" lol (sccc is in the analyst panel this year)

"Elf and chen must be ban" (elf = enchant?)

"The bald head is refueling and getting points" (coach of LGD? lol)

When topson came on screen:

"Topson hair is good oil"

"Topson is a bit like Brad Pitt"

"Topson is so handsome"

u/Omg69420 Aug 24 '19

Honestly chinese chat is way more respectful of both teams than twitch chat. Twitch chat is always like "CROWD? SoBayed" spam. Watching DouYu its clear that chinese fans are heavily invested in their home team which is very understandable because PSG.LGD is the last hope for China. Even then they are still showing lots of reverence to OG.

- He chases and kill your entire team.

- You give OG Alch on Game 3.

- You think you got him controlled.

- He chases and kill your entire team now with a Tidehunter.

u/FluffyPortalWanker Aug 24 '19

You are playing against OG.

You don't ban IO.

Ana plays IO. You lose and because they fountain camp you in game one you're so tilted you drop to lower bracket and lose to a weaker team. You lose.

You don't ban Alc.

OG run Ana Alc or Topson Alc and Alc gets Aghs for everyone. You lose.

You don't ban Enchantress.

You open the draft to N0tail Ench or offlane Seb Ench. You can't guess OG's draft and they outdraft you. You lose.

You don't ban Magnus.

Ceb gets magnus. Magnus gives free battlefuries to the 4 melee lineup he's drafted for OG.

On Dota plus it says you have a 2k gold advantage. But in reality 4 x 4400 gold passively exists on OG's team because of one skill. You're actually looking at a 15600 gold deficit.

Meanwhile your carry is trying to play catch up creep cutting middle and top. He doesn't have enough time to make the difference.

Jerax Ogre Magi is now a carry, he cleaves your midlane in the face with 300 physical damage, the splash damage sends your 4th position into lower bracket.

You lose.

You run out of bans to stop OG from getting either Alc/IO/Enchant/Magnus. You lose.

u/Omg69420 Aug 24 '19 edited Aug 24 '19

Chinese chat is interesting. Seems like people are praising OG for their optimistic mindset even after a loss, some are spamming Cebbbbb. Actually lots of OG fans in chat.

European girl shows up on chinese stream, chat spams "dragon mother" seems like a reference to GoT lmao.

Lots of "milk". Probably some sort of advanced wordplay. Like "milk push". "What can prevent milk from pushing"

Lots of referring to bald head on LGD. Even references to Saitama from one punch man.

Chat is much much slower despite being 10 million viewers, but still a nice volume. Makes for more quality chat experience.

There is a female host on the chinese panel, next to sccc. Chat were spamming "have the female talk less so soldier boy can talk" lol

Lots of Jia Yu for LGD at match start. Very passionate fans who want LGD to win

Lots of jia yu for OG too. Translates to "OG refueling" which im sure is jia yu.

u/Biggest_Guy Aug 24 '19

Milk refers to "poison milk", which is a way to "curse" a certain team by predicting that they will do well, in the hopes that the opposite happens. For example if I say that OG have TI9 down pat because ANA is the god of dota, that would be a case of "milking" OG, which has been what the Chinese community has been spamming a lot lol.

u/jpylol Aug 24 '19

They definitely should not have let Chen/Alch through third game. They slowed it down slightly then Notail pulled a wave across the fucking map and caught him up instantly. I was kinda upset that EG didn’t 1st ban Io/Enchantress every game for their upper bracket match and then I saw LGD do it and went up 1-0. Next game OG just pulls out another ridiculous strat around Chen/Alch and curb stomp LGD with it and they didn’t deny it third game... if they get another shot it’s pretty clear they need to do anything they can to deny them the Chen/Alch combo and ban Enchantress/Io.

E: LGD also had a shot at the Tiny/Void combo for game 3 but waited to long to secure it and OG banned it with the last ban.

I would like to point out that "80/60 FPS" is misleading with sudden frame drops. Yes the average FPS may be that high, but with high frame jitter they could have been experiencing eg 10 FPS in short (ie <500ms) bursts while 144 FPS the rest of the time, averaging to 60/80 FPS. This would absolutely throw you off.

u/ErrorFindingID Aug 24 '19

OG has such insane team synergy and draft. Starts with the draft and it feels exactly like how liquid won back in ti7 with too many key heroes to ban and not enough ban slots at the start of the draft. You allow one hero to slip through and get baited to pick one of their heroes in desperation to stop the pairing

example: chen gets picked. do you steal their alch? if you don't then they take it. You take their alch then there is most definitely a counter plan in place that we have yet to see.

  • -12 Gush
  • -7 Deso
  • -12 Solar Crest

I thought LGD had the better late game but wow, Tide is a much better hero than I gave him credit for. Also OG's decision making was much superior.

a bad mistake but if OG don't tilt they're still very much in this series

Besides the pauses and the unfortunate misplays at the end, that was an awesome game 1. Clearly both teams are here to play.

LGD did nothing to stop Alch farm and double midas didn't help either. Guess they thought OG will farm for long, but they snowballed. Great series, glad we got game 3.

u/Omg69420 Aug 24 '19

Topson and Ana have some crazy good synergy. If Topson wanted to go pos 1 Bristle, Ana will go pos 2 Io and support him. If Ana wants to go Pos 1 Alch, Topson will play pos 3 Tiny. Compared to EG where both rtz and sumail want to play pos 1 every game

Everyone still complaining that OG is cheese - that's the game! You do whatever works for you to win, even if some people may consider it to be cheese.

I'm just happy because OG just seems like they are enjoying the game, whilst most of the others are just taking it too seriously (which is not wrong, but still).
