Soooo… eSports dominance, it happens at some point with every game that some team is just built different, you know? That team that just wins no matter what and how bad they look they'll show up when it matters, the Astralis (csgo) or the SKT (LoL) and in Dota's case OG in the last 2 TI's and one common pattern among those games is that when teams dominate too much the community goes through a couple stages, first they'll love it and just enjoy the hype, then if a team keeps winning eventually they become the villains people love to cheer against ( people are here with OG I'd say) and then if that team simply keeps winning people just tune out of eSports, it happened with League when SKT won 3 world championships and the MSI( kinda like a dota major) it happened with CSGO when Astralis won 4 majors and the grand slam, so my question is let's say OG make it to finals again (not saying it will happen and not looking for your opinion if it will happen, let's just say it does) do you think people will tune out like they did in other games? Or is the dota community less inclined to that kind of behavior?
