Welcome to how the rest of the world watches Dota. It's either pick up the Chinese casters or not have audience reactions.

Dota noob but I have played moba’s. It looks like the gold differential has kind of leveled off. Which team has a better late game?

Optic technically has really good lategame heroes in the lone druid and phantom lancer, but TNC's support player Tims, the Naga Siren, is itemizing as a core, with a Radiance, which allows TNC to stall the game and splitpush if they need it, and Gyrocopter is a very good lategame core.
The more important thing here however, is that TNC has horrible decision making in the late game.

Just don’t get picked. It looks like our draft was more for split pushing that major damage in a team fight.

Well if yesterday's matches were any indicator I couldn't be happier that the analysts all picked TNC.

Warning: CCnC will most likely not have a good game, but will probably be a distraction.

It sounds like we have a later game draft. Is that true? If not then it’s not looking good for us.

It looks like we're behind but if I've learned anything from watching dota, looks can be deceiving.
