GG to [A]; Na'Vi had a slip up with the TPs at their base, but other than that, it was an amazing series! :D

navi didnt even deserve top 4


After that finals, you have to admit Navi pull it out when it really matters. In that sense they deserved to be where they are (2nd place). But Alliance 100% deserve to be first. They are just the best team atm overall.

I didn't root for any of the teams in the finals, but i really don't like this split push bullshit win in the final game. Anyways, Alliance deserved the win since the game allows for that kind of shit

DotA, LoL or whatever you have... Splitpushing is always an effective strategy. In even SC2 you can do the same thing(Attack in multiple locations, dodge the main army) and there it's considered amazing play. What sort of games are you looking for, WoW 3v3 Arena?

It juat feels that splitpushing with certain heroes is way too strong compared to other strats. Na'vi went from being ahead to losing the game just because their tps were cancelled. That kind of play shouldn't have such a big reward. Anyways Alliance deserved the win given the current state of the game. I just hope np gets nerfed and maybe wisp too.

It is way too strong with wisp, that's why you ban the hero, not lose to it then complain. Blame puppey, not alliance.

Such an empty feeling inside. Split pushing.... I won't be able to play tmr for weeks now.

Regardless, [A] played really well. Very much so deserved, despite my disgust of the playstyle.

do you even play this game? i mean seriously.

Lol. Clearly you are not strong enough for my posting tactics. I'll give you a break this time and explain: When ahead, taunt the fan boys of the losing team.

watch the throne bisudagger cause next year we're coming to take it back 8)

And I have a whole year to prep my smack talk. TI3 has definitely got me into dota again. I haven't felt this much passion since being a MYM fan in the WC3 era.


"MYM"?
I think you mean Team Pandemic?

Nobody should be complaining about backdooring.

This is DOTA, how many games have we won backdooring the enemy when the game seemed lost?

Beautiful tournament. Can't wait for TI4


Nerf that wisp and batrider for the next one pls.

Navi should have won the 5th game. It was not exactly a throw. Clutch play by S4. If Navi could TP back, they would manage to easily defend both towers. They would be able to push the other towers easily, with Alchemist getting bigger and bigger. As good as a lineup Alliance have for rat doto, it is not enough with that advantage Navi has.

But after that, the game totally swung towards Alliance. Only way Navi can win is if TA and Alchemist get real big such that they can destroy towers. Bulldog went very smart with the Necrobook. It's sad that 1 Dream Coil turned the whole game.

As much as I'd wanted Navi to take this game, Alliance deserves it. Or at least S4 deserves this because he has countlessly single handily carried Alliance. By carry I mean doing ridiculous plays to put them in the game. Most of the time alone.

BUT I love that game 5, I love this fuckin grand finals, I love the whole tournament, I love all the storylines and fuckin love DotA!!!

If you don't ban wisp and lose to split push, you don't get to complain. I think that hero is dumb and completely ridiculous in terms of game presence, map control, and giving gobal mobility to the most valuable hero on your team; but if you don't ban it and lose to a strategy centered around what that hero can do, it's your own damn fault. Alliance deserved that win, they played consistent and didn't crack under the pressure like dendi feeding to rosh with 5 treeants right next to him or navi not tping back to base as a team to stop the double rax.


To be fair, they did TP back as a team...three of them in dream coil range of each other.

I still don't know why they TP'd back when they had their entire team there to attack the t4 towers, and half of alliance was splitpushing.
