They are not overly hyped. They are loved by everyone because of their entertaining strategies and skills. This is only group stage. They are just warming up.
At least iG pulled that one out, and eventually become TI2 champions. Na'Vi, yet they're one of the top teams, no doubt, I agree with you, their strat sometimes got countered, quite easily even. Starladder Season 3 LAN Final event, just done like a few days ago, Empire and Pulse (ex Skanes/Infused) proved that they can make something happens against Na'Vi, I'm in they're not as dominant as they've used to be, part of that comes from the other teams, others come from themselves anyway
in 2010 for example, gosugamers ranking of dota teams showed top 10 all to be european teams, then the first international lan came, ehome the 3rd strongest chinese team at the time, ranked at about 20 came and 16-0 every single european team under 30 min with a flawless and easy victory and suddently they are ranked first. Meanwhile teams just good as them like LGD and nirvana.CN was still ranked below 10.
well that was when all of the chinese teams had no practice what so ever. this tourn will show how dominant the chinese are. but i agree it sucks that Mski's not here )):
IG says : if IG can beat lgd and EH, navi would be easy.. The chinese are just not used to the "fight you under your tower" strategy by navi, which costs (all of) them the game in the winner bracket. until IG adapted to the strategy in one night that is. Seriously, there's a fatal flaw with xboct and puppey, that IG knew in one night.. which na'vi obviously didn't care to care about.. (hell, they gave xboct a range carry in this game)
It's been a while since Na Vi fought a Chinese team...and this what happens, it seems that they really are overrated by the critics... this is International...not only Western Dota
top 3 chinese team stats at the international 2, lgd 14-0 flawless victory, dk 11-3 only lost against lgd and tied against zenith, ig 13-1 tied against ehome. None of the teams manage to take a game off them are from europe, Only navi from europe made it to the top bracket and thats just barely, The chinese already beaten those teams convincingly
the best? after that embarressing tournament called the international 1 all they did was playing european and american teams, the only time they even played chinese teams was online with the chinese suffering huge lag issues. The gosugamer ranking doesn't mean shit. Theres ridiculous small amount of coverage of non european tourneys that all european teams gets really high rankings. Then whenever an international lan comes they all get raped by the chinese, look at dota 1 for an example.
every1 who things na'vi is the best team. take of ur fanboy glasses. chinese teams will win this tournament. they are just way better then the rest. and btw: na'vi ist overhyped and overrated. fact.
love the fast uploads.
They do indeed.

How? They won the previous "The International" tournament. Being favorites doesn't make you overrated. Anyways, too bad, no Mineski :(
