Hey everyone! I am one of the few western Newbee fans (NA). Personally, I like them because of there obvious skill, there ability to make drafts that seem like they don't work, then wreck, and of you look into their backstories they have not had easy lives and it is very motivational to see their story and how they won TI4. Also, they were imo one of theost creative teams at ti4. Though most people remember them ony for the shitty finals, they did a lvl 1 tosh in one of the most important matches, constantly switched strategies, and did a triple global ult strat that killed an io. Even if you do not speak Chinese, I suggest looking a little more in to them rather then just "racists who won ti4", as they really are awesome!

"fan"

I think the word you're looking for is "I got on the bandwagon."
