Can we have a speed gaming logo now?

this is awkward for bone7. It's hard to say a team should be any different than one that it takes to win this MLG.

I won't pretend to be any sort of Dota expert, but I really don't understand DK's drafts in this finals.

So glad to see him reach this point. How you cannot hate guy who cries on forums that life of professional gamer is hard, while every other player have same and don't cry. How can you hate the guy who has such #passion that he cries openly over his dreams not coming true
passion of the ee-sama coming soon

Do you think a competitive game is similar to normal practice game?
There's literally not enough rest time for players between games ... esp betwen 2nd semi and the final.
Also didnt understand why 2/3rd seeds get more rest between semi and final compared to the 1st seed

What a close series. I do feel that DK was disadvantaged for having to play 2 BO3 back to back, but that's just their luck I suppose.
I was rooting for DK definitely, since they were wiping out everyone in such dominating fashion earlier. But much respect to speed-gaming for their amazing talent as well.

Im so HAPPY AND PROUD shit

I think that final was really all about Pieliedie and lanm. What a series from the two supports.

Do you think 2 hours is comparable to 10 hours?
Stop making excuses just becasue you're a DK fan. Own up, they got beat.

Sing is definitely not as good a clock player as bone or as comfortable on just getting midas and sitting back and farming (even on SF his most farmy mid hero), but at the same time his arrows single handedly saved more than 1 game that would've eliminated the team. RTZ's overwhelming farm on midas OD was hugely beneficial for them to have a back up when EE blinks into 5. But, sing mid is less farmy and more roamy and they crushed DK game 2 with a more aggro style. The results could've definitely been the same, but the games would've been ridiculously different. imo bone7 has the best clock in the world but sing's mirana is god tier, always impacts his game and is super consistent. speed has to work on a couple of issues though. I think aui needs to improve his individual player skill for example.

imagine this team if arteezy never had to leave and they still had the bone7 offlane+arteezy mid combo.

Why a solo Alch top in game 2, why Mushi on a hero that doesn't seem like it suits his playstyle game 3. Agreed with u completely. Speed played well but DK just didnt do as well as they should. Maybe they are tired, maybe its the pressure but the last 2 games, if the DK played like normal DK, I was sure they will do better and maybe even win.
After those 3 tense, hard fought games that were arguably more competitive and exciting than the Na'Vi series, why would you try to belittle SPG's huge achievement? It was the finest series since TI3 Finals

As a DK fan, I'm happy for a great tournament and great result.

Well they say if bone7's next visa application is rejected, he will be barred from entering US for a very long time.
So this might be the team you see in TI4.
After all, unless they completely fall off the cliff like empire did last year, Speed probably have almost secured their TI4 invitation with this win. All they need to do is to at least stay somewhat relevant for the next few months.

It's like when ppl leave a team and everyone just assumes everyone is instantly enemies now when they're actually still super friendly.

Speed played well but you dont need to be passive-aggressive......
DK played close to 7-8 hours of Dota today with less breaks than Speed
