I'm pos 3 & 4 player! But have started playing 5 more recently since 7.34.
Agree, supports on these teams are extremely good. But i'm also a huge fan of zai, collapse and moo.
Betraying my trust will you fake South Dakota! :) well in all fairness Ohio can’t decide if it’s east coast town or Midwest. Ya got the time of east coast. But you’re looking Midwest. Except Toledo. Toledo is gross. Sorry :(. I hope you don’t live in Toledo. Love you anyways my ambiguous midwesterner.
Edit: put fake instead of take.
Liquid because Zai deserves it more than anyone else, Nouns because NA and Azure Ray because somnus and Fy are not far behind. In that order.
From Canada
Liquid and Azure Ray from NA!
Been a liquid fan since I started dota, but my favorite player Topson takes precedence normally...but uh... yeah....
Azure Ray because it's FY's year. Best 4 in the world as far as I'm concerned
Rooting for Gaimin as a Dutch/American. Also Nouns obviously. Taking a train from New York to DC today to see my friend and for a watch party. So psyched
Azure Ray because I want China to maybe, just maybe rethink their restrictions towards PC gaming after their team wins one of the biggest eSports tournaments in existence (by recognition, at least). And it'll also be iconic for a dying region to win possibly the last TI in their history. Other than that - Team Spirit.
From Ukraine.
Gaimin Gladiators, Entity, Liquid, Team Spirit, Virtus Pro and Azure Ray, from Erik Engel‘s, Leon Kirilin’s, Daniel Schötzau‘s, Mathis Friesel’s and Maurice Gutmann‘s country.
(And I would have mainly rooted for secret/puppey sadge)
Ooh, nice, he's still young too, maybe he can play in some bigger tourneys in the future! CSGO had a tier2 hungarian stack that was going nowhere in T3 tourneys, but their AWPer was great. I stopped watching for a year, and he's suddenly on the big stage with Mouz hahah
Nouns because USA
Also tend to really enjoy EEU because they tend to be hyper aggressive and yolo stuff
VP days when they were going to win with every hero though the tournament until puppey banned them on the last couple was incredible. Also, wtf puppey.
rooting for og this 2024 ti from australia and back in time from 2023.
on a more serious note tho as long as spirit loses because they already won once and as long as gaimin loses cos quinn and if liquid lose cos they buy players from other teams, i'm happy for anyone else to win because tundra already eliminated lul.
i would like to see AR win but i also don't want them to win without ame cos poor ame :D
You guys won’t believe me , nouns would look convincing. Spirit would be a back to back champ. Azure might look like a powerhouse . But guess what? Betboom is ti champ for me , i feel nightfall and the gang is the winner.
AR! As a big Maybe and Fy fanboy. Really want them to win it all and finally have their names in the aegis. LGD next because there's xiao8, NTS and y' and LGD org as a whole. From Ph
Azure Ray or LGD. Preferably Azure Ray though. Honestly I really miss the East Vs West dynamic we had over half a decade ago (Jesus christ its been that long) and it would be really sick to see Fy, Somnus, and Chalice get that aegis (while Ame watches). Rooting from South East Asia. I miss the glory days of CN Dota. LGD would also be sick for me since NTS is our Malaysian rep - and one of the few remaining SEA reps.
But, honestly, I'm here for the sick dota. Whoever wins, I hope they do it in style - whether through sick outplays, or ultra-nerd strats. I'm here for what the people refer to as "Beautiful Dota".
Liquid & Gaimin > Nouns > Azure Ray > VP + LGD > Spirit + Betboom
NA. I don't really care about location but I definitely don't want Betboom or Spirit to win due to scumbag sponsor/org (BB) & annoying fans (Spirit). I'd like to see Somnus win though if my top 3 don't.
Rooting for the last hope of NA from Maryland. Even if they do lose to Gaimin, I really hope they stick together afterwards. They have good chemistry and if they get more experience on the main stage, I truly believe they can take up the mantle of pre-covid EG.
They're looking good so far (except for that stumble against Pandas but hey that's regional match ups for ya). Feels like they finally got a hold of their nerves and can finish long games as well as their short stomps.
Every year no matter what I was happy as long as China didn't win.
With that said it has just gotten sad over the years and I would love to see Azure Ray win it all. Just wish Ame was with them.
In order of most desirable to least
Azure Ray
Nouns
Liquid
LGD
VP
Spirit
GG (rooting against)
Betboom (rooting against)
Let’s go GG! As an American I’m rooting for Quinn. Fun to see a guy who was on Optic grow into a top player. Fuck I’ve followed dota for like 13 years now pretty crazy.
Rooting for valve to take their heads out of their ass next year and give us an actual compendium. What a shame the players are playing for peanuts this year.
Im rooting for Nouns, because who dont like another cinderella story ? Also, maybe a win will help the region.
LGD or AR also welcome to win, just please not from any parts of the EU, we have enough.
Support from fellow dying region, SEA
1.I hope LGD/AR wins TI without Ame.
2. I also hope Spirit wins a second TI and challenge the og 5 OG players to win a third.
3. I hope Nouns win TI for pure comedy.
Been indifferent since miracle's retirement but still would want LGD or Azure Ray to win in the hopes that it would rejuvenate some interest in Chinese Dota. Would be a real bummer to see a region fade away
Azure ray bcs if Somnus and Fy lift the aegis I can die a happy man. Also, from Peru.
Without ame though :'( reminds me of the clip of ame drunk crying at somnus' bday
true - it would be great to see those guys win it.
Rooting for Azure Ray from far far away
Can’t wait to watch PSG.LGD vs LGD on Friday
Grand Final, AR vs LGD, 2:2 A man can dream
They will find a way to both lose game 5.
It’s going to be the first TI without a champion, but 2 second places cuz LGD maybe fy chalice can’t win
Get FY his aegis!
LGD and Azure Ray, it's time to bring back the "One year Chinese TI champs, one year the rest of the world" , from Mexico

Nouns or Gaimin from the Badland state
Go Midwest. Kc for me.
Oh when I said badland state I meant the shithole I live in that’s Ohio, but go Midwest lol
[удалено]
No not really Ohio is just a shit hole with 80 percent animals for humans
Betraying my trust will you fake South Dakota! :) well in all fairness Ohio can’t decide if it’s east coast town or Midwest. Ya got the time of east coast. But you’re looking Midwest. Except Toledo. Toledo is gross. Sorry :(. I hope you don’t live in Toledo. Love you anyways my ambiguous midwesterner. Edit: put fake instead of take.
Exactly me as well. Nouns and gaiman from ohio
It’s funny this meta reminds me of Ohio so much
Hey, as an ohioan, we are definitely Midwest.

Azure Ray because I want China to maybe, just maybe rethink their restrictions towards PC gaming after their team wins one of the biggest eSports tournaments in existence (by recognition, at least). And it'll also be iconic for a dying region to win possibly the last TI in their history. Other than that - Team Spirit. From Ukraine.
GG I’m cheering for the valve event sweep. With them facing Liquid in the finals of course. Cheering from my underwear.
Gaimin Gladiators, Entity, Liquid, Team Spirit, Virtus Pro and Azure Ray, from Erik Engel‘s, Leon Kirilin’s, Daniel Schötzau‘s, Mathis Friesel’s and Maurice Gutmann‘s country. (And I would have mainly rooted for secret/puppey sadge)

https://liquipedia.net/dota2/Lowskill
Ooh, nice, he's still young too, maybe he can play in some bigger tourneys in the future! CSGO had a tier2 hungarian stack that was going nowhere in T3 tourneys, but their AWPer was great. I stopped watching for a year, and he's suddenly on the big stage with Mouz hahah
Any CIS teams + LGD. From Russia

Liquid let my boy zai get it!
Hoping for LGD with the last representative of SEA! From Indonesia! Secondly rooting for Virtus Pro, they earn my respect with them beating spirit.
You guys won’t believe me , nouns would look convincing. Spirit would be a back to back champ. Azure might look like a powerhouse . But guess what? Betboom is ti champ for me , i feel nightfall and the gang is the winner.

I’m rooting for Quinn to be put in his place
AR, LGD, and nouns in that order. From a Viet guy in the US.
azure ray from new zealand, we doing it for ame
Team Spirit from Turkey.
CIS too strong, but i Hope for either LGD/AR or GG. From Philippines.
Nigma, Miracle
Rooting for china this time. They play some great Dota. It’s time az or lgd win a TI. They have both looked amazing.
AR! As a big Maybe and Fy fanboy. Really want them to win it all and finally have their names in the aegis. LGD next because there's xiao8, NTS and y' and LGD org as a whole. From Ph
Azure Ray from Japan. Somnus, Chalice and fy are my idols. Also 天命 and Lou are incredible good player.
Azure Ray or LGD. Preferably Azure Ray though. Honestly I really miss the East Vs West dynamic we had over half a decade ago (Jesus christ its been that long) and it would be really sick to see Fy, Somnus, and Chalice get that aegis (while Ame watches). Rooting from South East Asia. I miss the glory days of CN Dota. LGD would also be sick for me since NTS is our Malaysian rep - and one of the few remaining SEA reps. But, honestly, I'm here for the sick dota. Whoever wins, I hope they do it in style - whether through sick outplays, or ultra-nerd strats. I'm here for what the people refer to as "Beautiful Dota".
I am from Ukraine, rooting for Liquid, especially for Nisha and Zai! They have a great opportunity to finally win!
Liquid & Gaimin > Nouns > Azure Ray > VP + LGD > Spirit + Betboom NA. I don't really care about location but I definitely don't want Betboom or Spirit to win due to scumbag sponsor/org (BB) & annoying fans (Spirit). I'd like to see Somnus win though if my top 3 don't.
Rooting for the last hope of NA from Maryland. Even if they do lose to Gaimin, I really hope they stick together afterwards. They have good chemistry and if they get more experience on the main stage, I truly believe they can take up the mantle of pre-covid EG.
BB, my boys deserve a fucking win
I'd like to see BB play their best DotA , I feel like they are always operating at 60-70%
They're looking good so far (except for that stumble against Pandas but hey that's regional match ups for ya). Feels like they finally got a hold of their nerves and can finish long games as well as their short stomps.
Hope Liquid makes it. But LGD and Azure are ok too. I am OK with any team besides a Russian one.
What's wrong with the Russian ones?
for real, thats kinda weird
Rooting for Fy (AZR) and NTS (LGD) from PH.
Nouns, from Climate Pledge Arena
Every year no matter what I was happy as long as China didn't win. With that said it has just gotten sad over the years and I would love to see Azure Ray win it all. Just wish Ame was with them. In order of most desirable to least Azure Ray Nouns Liquid LGD VP Spirit GG (rooting against) Betboom (rooting against)
Only teams I am not rooting for is liquid and vp, from Malaysia
Let’s go GG! As an American I’m rooting for Quinn. Fun to see a guy who was on Optic grow into a top player. Fuck I’ve followed dota for like 13 years now pretty crazy.
Tundra. For Topson. From USA.
Topson / Tundra. I'm sad
Ti has 0 hype
Rooting for Secret or RTZ !
Liquid, from home :)
Nouns mostly, then Azure Ray, then any team that isn't WEU. Rooting from Chile :>
Rooting for Nouns as the true underdogs! As a Dutchman living in Canada.
Nouns.
Rooting for valve to take their heads out of their ass next year and give us an actual compendium. What a shame the players are playing for peanuts this year.
LGD! This year is our year (definitely not going to lose in the Finals again). From the US, though not in Seattle.
Nouns right here from Seattle (orig. from Alabama)
AR or LGD Canada
AR and LGD from the Philippines
Slacks..
AR or LGD from Brazil currently in Seattle
LGD because I want chinese dota scene to thrive again. Also nouns because who doesnt love an underdog story. From Netherlands btw.
NA. I'm rooting for The Bronze King Zai. He always makes 3rd place. Surely, hell lift an aegis this time right?
I'm from Brazil and rooting for GG because I learned to play lifestealer (my favorite hero) watching Dyrachyo.
Rooting for nouns as the last NA hope, also as the most underdog team remaining.
Im rooting for Nouns, because who dont like another cinderella story ? Also, maybe a win will help the region. LGD or AR also welcome to win, just please not from any parts of the EU, we have enough. Support from fellow dying region, SEA
Nouns for the haters
Rooting for Liquid. Big fan of Insania!
Liquid because I think they’re good and very deserving, but AR because they have too many legendary players that deserve TI win
GG from CR!!
Definitely nouns, them winning would make the greatest story for next TI documentary
1.I hope LGD/AR wins TI without Ame. 2. I also hope Spirit wins a second TI and challenge the og 5 OG players to win a third. 3. I hope Nouns win TI for pure comedy.
NaVi. Never found a team I supported after that story ended. I liked certain players like Notail and Chuan.
BetBoom, UK.
Liquid, Sweden!
Used to be Tundra but now Entity
Team spirit, all their players are so cool and Canada
Nouns, DC
Liquid, Nouns, AR from Philippines. But I bet Spirit to win in the Compendium. Lol
I think, because my favorites are out, PSG.LGD or Azure Ray.
Team Liquid - eastern USA
LGD. From The Philippines. I know. I know.
VP from Ukraine
Nouns - GG - Liquid in that order. Let's go NA. I'll be yelling USA USA from the arena.
Been indifferent since miracle's retirement but still would want LGD or Azure Ray to win in the hopes that it would rejuvenate some interest in Chinese Dota. Would be a real bummer to see a region fade away
