Very surprised at the lack of enthusiasm and hype for this tournament. For me personally, I am super hyped because I get to see the best players play with each other under the back drop of national patriotism. Surely, this is better than the past all-star games where no one tries?
I do agree that this tournament loses a bit of luster because of no Russia and other Europeans, however, this is only the first year and should be expanded to include more teams moving forward.
