What do you think of the current western heropool? In my opinion, it is rapidly getting quite stale with Kotl, pl, nyx, naix, batrider, etc, whereas whenever I watch chinese dota I see a lot of heroes otherwise not used. Do you think the western teams are too afraid to experiment with entirely new hero lineups and compositions (ie. discounting incidental adventures on treant or OD), or what is the reason for the relatively small western hero pool right now?

Thanks!

If you've seen TL's power ranking for dota 2 teams, and you were to make one yourself (for the EU scene, that is), how would you make it?
TL's is atm:
1) Nth
2) N'avi
3) Fnatic.eu
4) VP
5) TeamLiquid

How is the team spirit in Na'Vi? Are you guys motivated? Do you feel like you need much more training to reach your full potential or are happy with where you are currently?

Got any favorite bands or books you really enjoyed reading?

Good luck, I wish you all the best!

What do you feel was the biggest thing you took from your trip to SMM 2009 with MYM?

What is your fondest DotA tournament memory/achievement?

Why do you think there is no real order between western top team? Each one seems able to beat any other on a good day. At the moment it seems almost random.

Kuro,

At the start of the new Na'Vi we saw a very proactive, aggressive and effective execution. Past games, have been actually reactive, waiting for enemy teams to execute first. Is this the result of lack of training?

Puppey used to pick and ban alone in old Na'Vi, are you helping him now?

Watching G-1 League, the level of competition is higher (Bigger hero pool, less mistakes) compared to EU. Are you afraid that this will affect Na'Vi's chances in TI? As a team, how will you try to solve this?

Do you think EU scene fails in training? Watching scrims (source: QPAD) and competitive Dota, it seems as if teams just try to pick-ban heroes based on consequential situations, instead of actually practicing strategies or perfecting heroes. Do you think this way of playing Dota is effective. Do you guys at Na'Vi have any thoughts?
Best example I can take is SingSing's Kunkka, he has trained that hero so much, that it is actually very effective, or Dendi's Pudge.

Best of luck!

As a sidenote to the Rubickproposition - doing the math, valve/icefrog would have to invent ~20000 new skills sooo no .
Question:

What is your take on the luck/random factor that seems to often decide teamfights in the lategame (e.g. sven landing a crit on his 1st swing to decide a teamfight which would have otherwise gone the other way) and do you think this requires changes to the game? If so, do you have any suggestions?

Do you agree with the notion that people have that different heroes in the hero pool are assigned into tiers based on their tendency to be picked?

Long ago when you were on Mouz, you played vs MyM. You were dominating the game as broodmother, but when you had around 4k gold, you bought an Eaglehorn instead of a BKB. Consequently, MyM disabled you in teamfights and you lost the game. Do you remember the game and can you tell us why you decided to buy a damage item instead of a bkb?


I had a super game, dominating warlock mid and harassing TB in the woods. We had omni/qop bottom against Pugna, I didn't think he would have diffusual so early. In my opinion, our dual lane bottom failed to keep down the solo pugna, so he got diffusual by minute 15 I believe. My idea was that repel would be sufficient to end the game, as Warlock got crushed mid, TB had no real farm and our top lane was winning too; BKB would not have changed the game, as brood can't outcarry TB (which was the best carry back then) anyway. It's easy to look at an item choice, but the truth is that we, as a team, didn't play good enough to win

Why am I late in asking? Can I still ask? Please?

1) Why aren't you streaming anymore? Will you be streaming again? When? Is it soon?
2) How do you manage to be up and playing for long hours? Don't you get sleepy? Do you have an energy drink or something?
3) If you could have any of your favorite heroes as a pet, who would it be?

Thanks!!

Since you have a good memory, maybe you can help me find two replays from ks.int.

Remember that game you have Storm and Puck and snatched cheese AND aegis in the same time? I remember that was a long game, something like 1h30min.

Another game that was KS.int vs MYM, maybe the finals from any tournament when Mania's SK just crushed your team. I remember very well a wipe next the small neutral camp from Radiant. This isn't very specific, but maybe you can do some work for me

Also, GL kuro, you will always be my first in pro scene and I will always cheers for you.


The storm and puck game was against iGG, romanian team. I played storm and puppey played puck. joliE played rhasta, miracle played CM and they dual roamed.

the MYM game, I think, was when we had a weaver/warlock lane on top, I played potm solo bottom against Axe.
