Team DK wins the WPC Ace League Finals 4-3 over iG, with one of the biggest comebacks we have ever seen
DK emerged victorious last night over iG in the WPC Ace League Finals. These two teams started the 2014 season off with a bang, going the distance in a full bo7 series. iG started the night off going 3-0 with ease, making it seem like they had it in the bag, but after the halfway lunch break DK centered their thoughts and came back in full force. They ended up winning the next 4 games, taking the series in one of the biggest reverse all-kill's we have ever seen in Dota 2. There was a lot on the line as DK will be taking home a massive grand prize of $163,400, while iG will get the 2nd place prize of $49,000.
With this win, DK are officially the first ever champions of a full bo7 Grand Finals in Dota 2, as well as the first champions of 2014. They came into the WPC Ace League with a brand new roster, and no one knew how they were going to do. Their star studded lineup clearly proved that they are one of the best in the scene right now.
Congratulations to DK for winning the WPC Ace League Grand Finals.

i only woke up in time for the end of last game :O crazy shit

DK! <3
Despite all that iG certainly had a great showing as well.

That break was weird but well played to both teams. Lanm really played better after the break while YYF seemed to lose a bit of the flair he had in the first 3 games.

I wish I could call it a great comeback, but honestly most all of the games in this series were very lopsided. IG started with gank-centric drafting that took a quick advantage in early game kills and led to easy mid game tower pushes for the win. DK responded after the break by banning a lot more gankers. IG's answer was to draft their typical 5-man push strats or 4+1's and got wrecked like they usually do vs DK.

These series has proved we need (and we will get) more Bo7 finals in dota.

OHH SHIT I totally missed this...
VODs available somewhere? BTS perhaps?

Mushi said in prematch interwiev that he is a bit afraid because they tend to play a lot worse in mornings.

Outstanding reverse all-kill by DK. Loved the final game where they paused when they had won :D

I don't know, as cool as it was to see DK come back, this seemed more like an argument *against* BO7's. Having a series span an entire day felt like way too much to me. I know there are potentially ways to cut down on some of the lengthy downtime, but I think the whole thing is too grueling regardless.

Had keys on DK. Stayed up until the three hour break, iG up 3-0, absolutely crushing DK. New year resolution to never bet on dota again. Wake up to DK winning 4-3. welp

You aren't a pro team if you can't handle 7 games in a day. It's clear both iG and LGD lost (in a heart-breaking fashion) because they have ran out of strats to use and couldn't counter their opponents on a fly. The exertion factor is crucial in every sport, the hardships of challenge make the prize more prestigious, etc.

You can make the argument DK would have ended up the losers if it weren't for the break. Even if both teams knew about it, you can't help but think that if DK did not have the time to recompose themselves, IG would have simply run over DK with a 4-0 sweep.
The Bo7 format didn't make the finals epic to me and even though DK did come back, it did not in anyway produce more exciting games than say a Bo5 would.

First game after the break with Kunnka support pocket strat and last game with Mushi SK vs best Potm in China weren't exciting?
BurNing decided to play high risk, low winrate Viper carry against Pugna death ball in a game which might as well be their last game in the series is nothing to write home about?
|
Best finals so far this year.
Btw, I REALLYYYYYYYYYYYY want to know what Mushi said to the team during the break. Maybe it was mostly LD, Lysander and Winter joking about it, but I'm sure Mushi said something.
|
this was seriously a pleasure to watch. so crazy how far 3 hours really can go. i am pretty confident in saying that if this were to have went to 4 games before a break, iG would have swept 4-0 with no need for a break.
really shows the power and enthusiasm a team can get from taking time to breathe and recover.

Well then it's good they had a break. Nearly every professional sport that I know of has a break of one form or another, to allow people to rest, recompose if needed, rethink strategies and so on. I fail to see how 4:0 or 3:0 crushing victory could have been more exciting unless you are iG fanboy

I do agree that teams need to be able to go the distance, but my personal feeling is that BO5 hits an overall better sweet spot for both the players and the spectators in terms of endurance, quality of games, etc. It's not too much to ask pros to squeeze out that extra ounce of effort to win a big finals, but when a match spans an entire day and requires multiple breaks (some over an hour in length), I don't think any competitor can produce their best play consistently. Similarly, fans love to watch an intense, long series, but if a match starts during the day and you literally have to skip sleep entirely that night in order to watch the whole thing, that just seems excessive. Call me casual if you want, but it just seems like too much on both sides of the booth.
It's similar to SC2, where (as TB noted while organizing the Scarlett vs. Naniwa showmatch) most players, casters, and many fans feel that you hit a point of diminishing returns for everyone in series that are longer than BO7. BO9s, BO11s, etc. seem awesome in concept, but for lots of reasons they usually just don't play out that well in practice.
If more Dota tournaments start running BO7s and do so with a tighter schedule, maybe I'll be convinced that it's viable, but yesterday's games didn't give me a good impression of the format (even though I enjoyed the games themselves).

Yea, no one even seemed to run to him after the win until the celebrations were almost over. If anyone at TL is listening (HOT_BID!) please, next time you talk to icex3, please ask him why he was so sombre after such a big win.
It's not a complete surprise he's down though... some of the feeds he did and some of the play... he reminds me of LoH back in Na'Vi. Just off in his own world until "WTF LoH raping sh*t". To me, it looks like icex3 is on the outer rims of the team, the 5th player playing by himself while the other 4 are a team. It's a 4+1 but the offlaner is the 1 lol.

one series doesn't prove anything, i can remember the last few bo7 and even bo5 series that ended with the losing team having 0 or 1 game win. Yes this series showed it helps but in reality its a formality or just makes the winning team play a few more games that were unneeded. Not to mention this is dota and not sc2 where games take 45 minutes on average so 2-3 more games can make an event go too long and people leave or if there is more than one game can delay a game that is after it so far it goes into the next day which usually means the other game has to play at like 4 in the morning since events dont usually rent spaces to include mondays

I don't think you're reading this correctly at all. Icex3 is constantly used on his team as a space creator. Meaning he operates on his own to apply a lot of pressure to the enemy team so that the rest of his team can push towers or farm up key items. It's the tri-core style not at all 4+1. That's why he plays offlane and powerful heroes like timbersaw/Slark. If he was a pariah on the team, they would not be giving him heroes and roles that important to the team's victory.
The Chinese commentary, which is done by other Chinese pro players, consistently praises Icex3's play and talks about how much he does for the team. I would be very surprised if there is any kind of this internal drama you are suggesting.

Iceiceice is always such an amazing player.
Gratz to DK and iG!
|
nooo i spoiled myself, no point in watching the vods now. oh god and what epicness i missed. why am i this stupid
|
LANM SLAM DUNK.
Iceiceice probably just trolling everyone as usual.
|
http://dota2.replays.net/video/page/20140102/1873431.html
iceiceice seems normal here, busy trolling and interrupting his teammate's replies to give even more troll answers. I think iceiceice seems like the kind of person who wouldn't be too happy if his play wasn't as good as he think it should be, and it can also be seen from his stream. While it may have been a reverse 4-3 sweep, he probably felt that the championship wasn't won under exactly the most glorious circumstances.
|
lanm should just buy the monitor and keep it as a personal trophy lol
|
Someone should shop lanm with a totem and echo slam effects
|
It's really sad to watch iG implode from game 4 but it was well played by DK, I just wish iG put up much more of a fight in games 4-7 regardless of whether they lost in a reverse or not. Hopefully they would've learnt a few lessons from this and won't let such a lead slip again in the future.
|
iG =(
DK =D
I enjoyed the games regardless of who won. I especially enjoyed watching the first game, sleeping and waking to find that only 3 games have been played so far.

good team, but people make them to be better than what they actally are (at least when it comes to achievements)

I like Bo7, with a half-time break after game 3. They just have to lessen the break time; maybe 15min between each game, and 1 hour (or 90min) lunch break for half-time. That is still potentially an 8 hour day finals, so hopefully more teams will try for strategies to win in under 40min.

Every game was a stomp except game 1. A few mistakes in the mid game just seemed to snowball out of control.

They don't have achievements together but every player on the team has a shitload of individual achievements (LaNm & MMY TI1 runner up, iceiceice & Mushi solomid champ and runner-up at TI3, BurNIng best carry in Universe, etc.), they beat TI3 first and second place teams at MLG, and just won the largest prize pool tournament outside of The International that Dota2 has ever had.
Honest question, what would this roster of DK have to do to be considered "part of the best teams" to you?

As a DK fan I think a break after game 4 would be more fair to both teams, I don't think the break was the only reason DK won but I think with the momentum iG had built up during the first 3 games the 4th game would have be a lot harder to win if it was played immediately after.

Producing results does not make a team good, skill does. Winning tournaments is a byproduct of skill, and it's hard to argue that DK doesn't have that.

What? 2nd place mlg(heavily stacked), Fengyun though low prizepool still had all the t1 chinese teams participating, WPC ACE winner, guaranteed g-league 2nd place and can win 1st. They where the ones who where supposed to go to ems beating t1 chinese teams but weren't able to so vg went in their place. those are not enough achievements to please you?
|
Not the best series but the best storyline for sure. Grats to DK, first champions of 2014!
Did anyone else feel sad about the super-solid-no-dick-around Mushi? The Mushi of old would have gotten that Rapier...
|
omigawa is right, they might not have had THAT many achievements as a team yet, but as individuals they have tons, EVEN if you don't count their dota 1 achievements. and they've only banded together a few months back.
and like zealously said, you count them amongst the best teams because they are playing like they are amongst the best, if not THE best atm.

good team, but people make them to be better than what they actally are (at least when it comes to achievements) What? 2nd place mlg(heavily stacked), Fengyun though low prizepool still had all the t1 chinese teams participating, WPC ACE winner, guaranteed g-league 2nd place and can win 1st. They where the ones who where supposed to go to ems beating t1 chinese teams but weren't able to so vg went in their place. those are not enough achievements to please you?
They actually dominated MLG too and were the clear favorites in the finals. Speed just pulled off the upset. The fact that it was an upset proves that DK is one of the best teams in the world.
