I'm actually a little surprised by the lack of NS for all the weaver picks. It makes some sense, the meta atm highly favors a strong laner mid and you don't necessarily want a NS tri-lane but I do feel that he could be a great pocket pick against an overly greedy lineup.

Anyone care to give some opinions on the lack of nightstalker picks?

NS needs early experience. Because at the 6 min he needs to roam like a mad and pick some kills or initiate team fights by divin on enemy t1 (even t2) towers. To do that he have to go mid and bottlecrow for 6 minutes. But he isn't a good solo mid player. No pushing power, extremely low rune control make him a low priority mid hero.

I think NS could be a viable pocket strat pick, combined with heroes like chen and lifestealer where you can dive the enemy towers and most likely take at least their offlane towers during the first night and roll with that advantage through the second daytime. Just my gut feeling. Needs a well thought-out draft though.

I guess i miss the games with luna picked.

I expect many teams will be formed, shuffled and disbanded after ti3. Curious what's the final lineup of the so called russian allstars.

I can actually leave my carry and he doesnt die 20 seconds later with pinging me constantly. When i leave my carry, i find that he doesn't only have 50 cs with 15 minutes of freefarm, woots, playing support is actually fun now : )

Guess saying mid or feed for the last 20 games helped

nice man
it's nice to know at least somebody enjoys matchmaking

Improve you dota experience, remove AP.

Juggernaut has not been picked yet too. i'm so sad to not see this pushing machine comes into line.

NS's long casting animation for his silence is just such a handicap against pro level reaction time. Same thing applies to Bloodseeker. You end up still needing some kind of setup/blink initiation, and that usually comes from a hero that occupies the same role. They're also very much gambles, because if your ganking isn't wildly successful, they become handicaps in 5v5 later on.

I do think silences in general are underpicked atm though.

He said in the post game interview that he played poorly, and that he was glad his could carry him.

Damnit i love playing this game when TI3 is on. Got abandon mid game, network down for me, but i can still play fine. Funny thing is that i wont get any gold and it splits all of it to my teammates.

Anyone else got the same?

wtf. koreans never fails to impress.


LOL what is that commentary.. i dont even.. like did someone slip something into their drink? or are they like legit trolling xD I mean starcraft commentators were amazing even when it was something simple like a reaver dying 20 minutes into the game but these guys are just hilarious, the drawings are just wtfbbq

it was during that 99 minute long game where nothing was happening. so yea they were just trolling...but the whole game was like that, so i'm really impressed that they kept it up for so long LOL

I've seen two hvost interviews lately (one on Soe's channel) and they're both actually pretty good insights to Na'vi/pro doto/hvost himself
