Both m5 and empire are currently easily the best teams with navi, they also lost EG. honestly i don't keep track of all the name changes well, only very recent ones stick with me. also i had to look up the old teams and didn't notice EG on there. so my bad on that one. i think you just undervalue NA dota as overall the list is an improvement with the exception of losing Na'vi who well at THIS time aren't the best for sure (due to no practice) but if they were to start practicing they would probably rise back to the best status. | ||

It was even worse 2-3 years back. Veno and qop had shadow strike. Blinkstrike between CK, Riki & PA. Chain Lightning on Medusa and Razor. Frost Nova on Lich & CM. Enrage on Viper and Razor. Cleave on Sven & Magna. Crit strike also on Naga Siren. Jinada was the same as Drunken Brawler with worse stats. Impale on NA & Lion now renamed, Wind Walk on Clinkz and BH now renamed, Voodoo, Silence, Blink still all the same. Back then the hero pool was also considerably smaller. I think sameness was really kind of an issue, not that I complained. Made learning heroes easier. | ||

That style of complete map control through hero presence and passive pushing fell out of favor because of it's losing to the aggressive pushing and team fighting allowed by the newer heroes. What do you do as a tinker vs wisp tiny, or vs a more common disruptor pick tinker TPing in getting glimpsed back and then having to tp BACK in after rearm gives a long time of 4v5. what do you do trying to escape a Naga that tps in and ultis. it's just much harder to protect those split pushers that are vulnerable while split pushing. morphling and brood are so much safer that they are much more often used. | ||

Scandal is pretty much on fire right now with his play and if the rest of empire live up to his skill, they could pretty much dominate the western scene quite easily. I am not sure how the new M5 is doing that well. Watching them with the new VirtusPro quite carefully but nothing seem to impress me. Its like they are winning bc of their enemies are making mistakes rather than bc they have superior skill. The meta is also changing quite drasticly in the next few weeks with wisp started being play by experienced support players as well as the impact of 6.75 so we gona have a hard time to evaluate team ranking. Rumor has it that Synderen is also waiting for Loda to come back to EU to form a new powerful mTw with Loda on hard carry. Pro-scene gona change a lot  | ||
