I remember people being relatively happy about ranked being introduced - but even back during the earliest days of the beta there was a hidden rank being utilized to find matches, so it wasn't as much of a wild west of skills that games like CoD are. | ||

Its a shitshow and very amusing most of the time, especially since the game is not-awful enough to have a wide range between a hard rush and econ/tech cheese. It would be a lot shittier of a game if MMR came into play for that mode imo, but not because pubstomping noobs is fun, but because if both of your spawn neighbors decide to rush you you're probably fucked. | ||

It was a cool game but I'm glad they moved on to something that actually makes money. it's so fukin fun, build bases run around explore the ocean | ||

I respect their achievements but can they just fuck off a little Just be happy to be witnessing such greatness. What will you say in 50 years when you grandkids ask you 'Grandpa, what was it like watching Secret destroy everyone back in the 2020 Covid season?' Will you say 'Eh, I hated them, because they were too good.' or will a tear roll from your eye as you start telling them the story of the best Dota team of all time? Secret are the best team we've ever seen play Dota by a longshot. How much better they are than all other teams and how consistently they are beating them is unprecedented. Sure, Wings were amazing to watch and OG's back-to-back too of course, but both were kind of miracle one-tournament runs. Secret's form now is different, eight fucking 3-0 grandfinals in a row. | ||

in dota 1 times, virtually every global tournament would get DOMINATED by Chinese players. it was a pretty open thing to have teams from EU/NA going into them to even say that they're not competing for first as EHOME or some other power house would be guaranteed to have it this is kind of what made the magic of the first International such a monumental moment. not only was dota 2 extremely new, made into it's own standalone game, and being backed by Valve, which had a very illustrious reputation at the time, but the prize pool was unheard of for the time being over a million dollars. most people didn't believe it to be real. that, coupled with the fact that Chinese teams had actual team houses, salaries, and would show up to tournaments with additional people like managers, etc. all in matching jerseys, and had consistently destroyed every other team for years made it so phenomenal to see the usual suspects from EU/NA showing up in jeans, crawling out of local LAN cafes and parents basements to compete, actually do well when speaking of strictly dominance, Secret's results speak for themselves, but i think the story of Na`Vi, the underdogs of not just a few months, nor a year, but since the incarnation of 'competitive' dota taking on the elite powerhouse chinese super teams that formed and not only holding their own, but picking pudge mid (which wasn't as big of a joke as it is today, but still VERY much considered 'trollish') and WINNING really brought the story home it's a shame that there's not more information and sources available for the old dota 1 tournament results and dominance of CN available, as i think TI1 is easily one of the coolest events, if not the coolest, that ill ever witness it reminds me very much of the movie Dodgeball where the Purple Cobras, who were supremely dominant and crushed the competition for years on end showed up in matching uniforms and wound up being taken down by just a motley crew www.youtube.com | ||
