Someone posted a video showing yesterday's semi-final play in 4 screens, showing the play, the crowd and both teams. Can't find the video anymore, can someone post it?

It's just funny to always have those thread about Na'vi pop up from time to time - they're still the top dog - deal with it.

I've only started watching dota 2 for TI2 and it's glaringly obvious for me already. Navi has:
Puppey: Genius team captain with a lot of leadership and no fear to do unorthodox stuff with his team.
Dendi: Amazing rubick/pudge who provides a ton of big plays and is aggressive.
LightofHeaven: Solid player who is amazing with enigma, has a ton of great black holes and is great in team fights.
AA: Selfless player who can gank early game and always sets up Xhost for his carry.
Xhost: The guy who finishes the job, farms like hell and sweeps the floor with the other team.

Plus they're beating everyone. That helps to.

Dendi's play in the last 2 games probably goes a ways towards explaining it, at least for me! Really on form.. or as far as an inexperienced viewer can tell ^_^

Yeah man Na'Vi is good. And Dendi has a ton of personality. They make some fun plays and dance about it. Who can argue with that? They're not technical genius's maybe but they are fun to watch and they could win the international again!

Oh, and Na'Vi DotA is fun to watch. I don't know if this is the absolute rule, as some of TI1 and most of TI2 encompass the whole of my experience watching DotA, but the Chinese teams seem to play a very boring, very safe, very passive style. Not sure if this is a consistent trend or just whatever, but watching a game with less than 20 kills by the 45 minute mark is kind of dreary.

Agree with OP that all this Dendi/Na`Vi fanboyism is getting annoying. 99% of the time, it comes with the often repeated mantra that Chinese Dota = boring farmfest, Na`Vi Dota = exciting ganks when more often than not we see iG trying to outpush and outgank Na`Vi, while Na`Vi sits back to farm with the harder carry. In games 1 and 3 against LGD, Na`Vi picks the harder carry and farms on them while LGD's hard carry pushes with team for most of mid-game. Honestly, I find it analogous to BW/SC2 where fanboys call foreign progamers "creative" and "innovative" while calling Korean progamers mindless robots who practice 12h a day to get good.

I find it amazing how na'vis playstyle is based on such fragile grounds. A single mistake in a teamfight and BAM its Naga ult into vaccuum into wall into ravage and 5man wipe. But navi refuses to make that mistake. Dendi ALWAYS stealing the ravage and turning the teamfight around XBOTC always landing a good chronosphere. And to address countchoculas post i'd like to just say this, China makes the metagame, Na'Vi breaks the metagame.
