IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

These games are really refreshing. So much more different from the classic oh so boring magina winning the whole game.
Nice defense by Dignitas, really thought they could come back after the all-kill on the fire team.

Apparently Na'Vi played jakiro and bara in The Defense against fnatic.

Oh and bo3 grand final with one map advantage for team from winner bracket is not the best mode (Infused tournament, if this is really true).

I really love the Fire playstyle, grats to them for a well deserved victory. Only thing I couldn't understand was Mjollnir on DK.

Fire gotta win early, but they have no way to kill towers fast. I guess they will go with a gank/roam-intensive playstyle.

It's used allot in Chinese DotA I've heard. When I pub with him, I rush mjollnir +(bkb+) armlet ^^.
It gives good DPS, good farm and synergies with his EDF splash dmg + his tankiness (the chain lightning shield). Overall a very good offensive midgame item.

Mjollnir isn't that common on Chinese DK's, and is certainly not bought early, at least not until after a core of Janggo+BKB or Vanguard+Pipe.

It's a situational item to turn Hyperstone into if AC isn't appropriate for the game in question.

It's what I heard (and also seen), and I didn't say they bought them early or anything.

it was not boring....it was really exciting even if no kills happened....it was all about who made the first move/mistake and it was kinda interesting who would make it

half arsed attempts? yeah sure they should have just went for it all the time and fail....watching players with such great skill, not overcommitting to pushes is also very exciting because it shows how good the read of them is on situations like that. dota is not only about BASH BASH BASH DIEEEEEEE

you can try as much as you want but your opinion will never be a fact
also there are games with the teams not over-commiting to pushes and that also "shows how good the read of them is on situations like that". Guess what? These games have more than 4 kills in half an hour
