What made MKP fun is that he was super creative and would do really audacious cheese, macro play, just makes marines. He had a unique playstyle that was really unpredictable and micro that was visibly way ahead of anyone else even to a bronze player.

People hate Alliance because they're boring, Bulldog only picks two heroes in 95% of his games and they almost never do anything out of the ordinary or pick none FOTM heroes. That is really, really boring Dota that no one wants to see. Alliance arent like BitByBit they're like Mvp and there's a good reason Mvp never had the fans that MKP, MMA, DRG, Nestea or MC did.

Whine, whine, whine. Getting split pushed is what HAPPENS if you 5 man. It how you stop them from pushing your base. Its why people don't 5 man right off the bat. Get over it. Alliance won because they are FUCKING GOOD AT DOTA 2.

IMO Navi outplayed Alliance for the majority of the last game and lost from sheer bad luck on the dream coil positioning. Then again, same can be said for Orange. Ugh.... I just can't stomach that Kelly Milkies wins.

The meta in Dota 2 seems to be terrible atm. At least Navi did play outside of it and got 2nd place. Really cool!

Puppy does not agree. He seemed did not mind the meta at all.

Puppey understands that he outsmarted Alliance while they outplayed him. That's what makes him one of the best Dota captains in the world, he has all the reason to be happy.

The current meta is crap.
The really good teams play each other so few times that it's basically just the opinion of teams.

OD deserves to fly straight out of the meta. Naga deserves to get right back in.
And a host of other little things

Navi fans are even MORE butthurt then Navi themself... seriously guys its a strategy, i mean... NP + CK/Wisp it was OBVIOUSLY they were going for it, Navi could have done a lot of things to stop that actually, but they didnt and look at Puppey, he just like the game and what a great sportmanship (granted he just won 800k) giving such a great interview

God stop bitching, i think split push its a little OP nowadays, but its not like theres not any strategy to stop them

YEAH! I said it some months ago that with the play like this, [A] will take home the aegis at TI3. So glad that they won, well deserved. On an another note it was such a nerve wrecking final... but im glad its over, time to get back to my normal sleep/work rhytm ^^

That game 5 was the greatest thing I've ever seen in esports. The whole event was amazing. Alliance %100 deserved to win and all the butthurt just makes it better.

There was no game that I found more boring than the fountain hook game. I'd rather see rat Dota than a stupid 1 shot mechanic that you need to hit once out of 10 tries to win the game.

I hate prophet, I hate wisp, I hate Alliance, I hate split push and I hate how that game is won.

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.

Actually despite what lumi said, Dendi never had a TP scroll with him that first split push. They screwed themselves over with that one.

All y'all can't be complaining about tactics or what needs to get nerfed or whatever. That tourney was exciting a f and to an outsider it seems like the most skilled/consistent team won. What else is there to say? DotA looks like a really good game right now.

And I was just thinking earlier at how unfortunate most finals ends up without any memorable last game... TI1 and TI2 last game were both more or less one sided.
But this final game... truly a game to remember!
