Aui is just very efficient in farming on Chen, and some force staff centaur stomp micro. Other than that, he is actually quite low impact with the hero.

I don't think either this statement or the one you are quoting are particularly justifiable. All three are clearly good chens, and all three play for very different teams stylistically so the choices made are not directly comparable. All three are clearly capable of perfectly controlling their hero plus 3 or even 4 controlled creeps in spectacular fashion.

akke and puppey are both better than aui.

in terms of micro ? not so much .. although decision making wise both are definitely better most of the time

although aui is the better visage player though but that's not the point
Dota is 95% decision making. Mechanics don't win games, just look at Mushi.

Chen is such a style-based hero.
Puppey smokes mid with chen 3 times and stays level 1-3 for like 8 minutes some games. Akke, well we just saw him ram down towers like they insulted his girlfriend. Aui is known for farming very very efficiently with the hero.
And they can all obviously play the other styles quite effectively as well.

Who is to say which style is "better"? Its completely based on the game and the lineup and since they play for very different teams I don't see why people feel the need to call any of them "better" than any other.

It's never a real game until someone tries to establish a pecking order.

If Liquid did have better mechanics in those engagements they would have won this game.

Don't you mean better coordination and less ping? :D

Probably not ping. Certainly not mechanics. 100% coordination.

i'm never sure if people who refer to mushi and mechanics consider him to have good or bad mechanics because a lot of people praise him as one of the strongest mechanical players while in reality he doesn't even tread switch and according to his own words he can't play any micro heroes, to an extent that he can't even play pugna because controlling necro creeps is already too much micro
