That’s why EU should have more slots 🤷
Change sea to mushi
meanwhile SA had 2 regional slot and china and EEU had only 1!
You can see everything here:
The consistency of China
The rise of WEU
The short lived spark of NA
The comeback of EEU
The downfall of SEA
The OMEGALUL of SA
The highest TI finish for a Filipino is 4th by fnatic.DJ at TI6 on a Malaysian mushi stack. Strange how this country has so many fans and players but consistently poor results, especially with mostly or full Filipino squads. Typically they are middle or bottom of group stages leading to early LB1 or LB2 elimination or UB1 loss right away and into LB2 losses. TNC.Kuku’s Huskar cheese pick eliminated miracle and OG at TI6 and that has been the best mostly Pinoy team TI result - winning a LB1 and a LB2 at TI6 for 7/8th.
Malaysia, Singapore, heck even Korea stacks have had better results than Filipino stacks.
Individually there doesnt seem to be a top player or brand ambassador like Iceiceice for Singapore or ana from Australia, if you count that as SEA. Abed probably would have been that player but he doesnt seem particularly interested or passionate about winning or selling his personal brand.
With the addition of SA and MENA teams it looks like the Pinoy squads will have an even harder time escaping Lower Bracket or winning an UB1 or LB3 match. CN and EU squads are on a completely different level and with the advent of mobile gaming/death of PC cafes it looks like 2016 with a 4th and a 7/8th finish plus the Manilla Major might have been the peak for PH dota.
