As we have seen everytime in the past---Asain tournaments are a joke.

It will be rigged.

You can already tell that it's rigged ... I mean ... no Asain teams face each other until the 3rd day...

Its a masters event people.. Is there any cybergame constitution that can forbid them from joining any global tournaments in the next few years??? Sadly, boycott the country practising such unethical acts is the only way professional teams can do for now...
I do believe Southeast @sian events still got that integrity, only lacking sponsorships :|

Why is it that in Asian tournaments, the Asian teams are never forced to play Train, which they all suck at?

And why does estro always play inferno (their best map by far) against the best team in their bracket?

NO HLTV. WE CAN'T FOLLOW THIS EVENT. TOURNAMENTS HELD IN ASIA NEVER HAD A HLTV IP. IF WNV PERFORMS, I HAD NOTHING TO SAY. DAMN IT.
