What did Chinese Dota fans think of the TI4 finals?

As we all know by now, TI4 is over, and the winner was China’s Newbee. Many international fans saw Newbee as a kind of villain after the allegations of anti-Chinese prejudice on the team, and it seems many weren’t happy to see the team walk away with $5 million in prize money. But what did Chinese fans think of the final?

Weibo reactions

Fanzhewen:

Congratualtions to Newbee for winning the World Championship. I also truly wish that China’s League of Legends teams will be able to win a championship soon. Regardless of which you play, they’re both eSports, an occupation that’s looked down on by most people. There is no need to fight or talk about each others’ mothers; everyone has their own preferences and that’s fine.

青雉FTD:

[…] I really wish the best to all the Chinese teams, and congratulations to Newbee for winning TI4. I cried at the end…

中大Din:

Although I’m happy a Chinese team won TI4, watching a finals with two Chinese teams and no DK was really boring.

我要叫他夏天:

#TI4 the most highlight-lacking competition, the most boring finals. Watching now, it’s not surprising that individual skill has been totally hidden by the game’s patch version and team composition, so people just blindly talk about the prizes.

小鷄大屌:
