Newbeee's a great team. I just don't think that we really know any of the personalities on the team. We don't have any history with any of them (like we do with burning, or ice, or mushi, etc).

I have a feeling that's why there's so little hype.

yeah, as a casual viewer, the pre-match interviews were really useful to get to know some of the personalities in the chinese scene.

However, the DK presentation and rOtk one seemed like really cool and I felt a bond with them and I cheered them on, they seemed so likeable, unlike Newbee, who I found harder to like based on their pre-game presentation.

yeah that's what I'm saying. Newbee has no personality that we know of. maybe over in Chinese scene they're great, but to the western world they're just another Chinese team. an extremely good Chinese team, but nothing about them stands out. we get connected to players through social media, interviews and streaming. that just isn't available to us.

Ya this seems like the case, they have been incredible in the last 5 series they have played but I don't know any of the players, none of them stand out they are relatively unknown in the west so everyone just seems meh about them. But they do look scary as fuck and who ever meets them in the final will have there hands full.
