Apparently there is rumor that TongFu team was in a very bad mood even before they play Navi which then lead to their poor performance(and a flame between team manager and the reporter). Also a part of the dialog say something about DK.Burning play a really bad CK so DK most likely wont be using CK strat this tournament. If anyone on our forum could confirm the translation, some of those detail could be huge for teams playing in TI2. Burning has always known to play a really mediocre/bad CK. Same with Hao/Sylla, Zhou/Furion. Their playstyles just aren't adapted to those heroes and you can clearly notice it in those games | ||

Terrorblade was added to -CM pretty recently, I think in either 6.73 or 6.74, so I have no idea how teams actually tested him and would like to see if teams can make him a useful hero, unlike his previous version. I don't remember if Troll was even added/removed from -cm when they removed blind, but still, both of them turned out better than they used to be. If we can see Mortred used in Dota2, they may also have a place in the game. | ||

I am confused on Terrorblade and troll bc i played them pretty much less than 10 games after they were remade so i have really no clue how much impact they have in the current meta game. Did tried out troll and things did not change much, i heard terrorblade new skill made him really useful now aday but i figure it was just some effect that HoN meta game might applied back to dota at that time (maliken or someshit?).

Troll has seen some playtime in the SEA scene, mainly as a surprise carry/semi-carry jungle. His Axes skill are very good, and both versions (range and melee) have an added status (slow and blind). TB I''m having a hard time seeing being useful. I don't believe I've seen TB used yet in a competitve DOTA game. After his remakes. EDIT: Sorry, should've made it clearer. | ||

It's very interesting how the dynamics inside of them actually work. But this is veering dangerously into the territory of a LoL v the world flame war. Best to be avoided. I did however once write a large piece about the nature of competitive games and what it means to be competitive. For example, Counterstrike is about micro with no macro. Supersmash Bros has no resource or economy management. Starcraft has no team play. LoL/DotA have lowered apm requirements. Yet none of these games are failures in the competitive sense. Sadly the article never really had a place any where so I scrapped it. But perhaps it might find a home elsewhere in exploring what truly makes a competitive eSport. Now, here's a question I have for you guys. With the unreleased champions like Medusa, Pheonix and Tuskar how would they impact the current hero pool? That is, what do they provide that currently isn't available? For example, the introduction of Naga offered strong and flexible teamfight control and setup while still being a good carry. Of course they are closely related, one is after all a spinoff the other. I dont think anyone would argue over the similarities. It is the differences that lead to confrontation. As for your article, competitiveness is the interaction between humans. Being better than your peer is the goal with the game merely being the means. | ||

me and buddy both are decent. we win games, we usually have really really good early but like evrytime once midgame starts we get raped cause the other lanes are terrible and the rest of the team just does random bullshit. seems like there are much less super idiots when we play alone -_- | ||

I have been doing alot of 3/4 stack lately and it is certainly better than just me and mate queuing together. But the thing is you need have good players in your team otherwise game will be very tough because you always matched against good players when you are playing in stack. | ||

It may be the first time they played the hero. They may be having an awful day. They may have been carried by a friend and is now trying a diferent role solo. They may be drunk. They may be messing around. There are plenty of reasons that may happen, but a "total noob" won't reach the very high skill bracket. He has to have games where they played decently. Everyone has games where they look awful to be honest. | ||
