I played a lot of polish pubs and bloodseeker was ALWAYS stryg/strygwyr, qop was akasha coz Q isn't a letter in polish etc That could very well be. Nice observation. With the number of languages in europe and the european battlenet being very mixed back in those years, It makes an incredibly amount of sense. | ||

In DOTA1 noone used most of the names, suddenly in DOTA2 people overuse them, so what changed in DOTA2 that increased the popularity in names? BTW Nobody calls riki a stealth assassin because it's too long. I clearly remember SA being used way more than Riki from my experience. For example, I will write PA when on a forum but sometimes when I'm playing a game the old habits come back and I say Mortred and don't even realise that some people in my skype call have no fucking clue what I'm talking about. It has nothing to do with elitism. Another example is the usage of Leoric. Using his name allows people to difference him from Sand King should both of them be in the same game. Anyway, the thing is, heroes in DotA had two names, some people used one, others used the other one. Valve is making Dota 2 chose the keep only one name and tried to keep the most commonly used name (sometimes it was pretty even, Lanaya and Rhasta both comes to mind) but there is still people who used the other name. Now these people are called elitist because Valve didn't choose the name they used ? Bullshit. | ||

That's what I told myself at first, and then realized Valve kept 3 of the names of the assassins. | ||

Well, in Valve's defense, Mortred is a shit name for an hero (imo) and Anub'Arak is under copyrights. A case could be made for Lanaya. | ||

Pretty sure they use very old icons(around TI1-TI2) Obvious the few times when Vanguard is shown. On August 10 2013 00:39 ch33psh33p wrote: Do I bet against Alliance again today? You what now? | ||

I don't think DK or the rest of the chinese have figured out how to fight alliance. If they have, and they take G1, you know alliance will answer with a style shift that catches them off guard. The way I look at it is, Alliance have been playing standard alliance all tournament and have won every game. Even if a team manages to crack that streak it is highly probable for alliance to have multiple strong strategies to back up their standard picks. I think this is why they hesitated at playing Fnatic, since they had been scrimming them almost exclusively I'm sure they used them to develop a niche strategy or two that is design specifically to counter a "counter-alliance draft". All speculation so meh. My guess is 2-0 Alliance. | ||
