Well okay maybe I'm being too negative but seriously that game was just... For grand finals...
Having an unreliable carry is a huge reason why they cannot go mid to late game against Alliance. Loda isn't as flashy or as brilliant as other carries from China or SEA, but he is so consistent and experienced that he will outplay XBOCT over a bo5 series.
He still is a better farmer than Loda is I'd say, all other things equal. He definitely isn't at his best playing as an agh-rushing VS.

There is no cheese is dota 2. Cheese relies on the other side not knowing what is coming. The drafting phase is the makes that not happen.
Cheese does exist to some extent. Pushes and 'all-in strats' are very similar to cheeses. They are dependent on your opponents not knowing how to react properly.
That isn't cheese. Cheese relies on you flipping a coin as to the build order of your opponent. There is no thing like that in Dota 2. If you can respond correctly, its just called playing Dota 2.
? What?
Cheeses in SC2 are highly dependent on your opponent not knowing what is coming and reacting badly.
holy crap people sure are angry. navi gave away wisp to force alliance into trilane top so they can contest it with their own trilane but alliance dodged it and that was that
let me guess, loda is an attractive guy, doesn't look like a typical nerd, yet is amazing at dota. nerds are threatened by this, generating a lot of hate.
Well...first dota2 game I've ever watched and it was boring as shit. Picks/Bans took longer then the game. Everybody is saying Navi is playing a full on early game aggression team comp...and they did do anything all early game? Hopefully the rest of these games are more enjoyable otherwise screw dota.
