That was probably the best tournament finals I've ever seen. Of any game. Or even sport.

Such an amazing event.

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.

You don't think it was risky? What if Na'Vi kept going and killed the throne?

Remember DotA2 is just secondarily PvP, the main goal is destroying buildings.

You Na'Vi fans are the worst, split push is done in A LOT of games, if NaVi didn't want to deal with it they could have banned NP but they didn't so as far as they were concerned that wasn't a problem. Freaking sore losers, it was an amazing game, it came down to the wire and I couldn't be happier that's how it ended. There was no cheese or game breaking bugs etc, you're just sore losers. Won fair and square.

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.


Yeah, Alliance played the better dota the entire tournament.

The best team in the world won the tournament, simple as that.

OMG, no more whining about split pushing. Na'Vi got here on the back of fountain hooks, so I think we can all agree that winning requires you to dig deep and go to the darkside.

Win at all costs, I don't get why people can't understand that. Especially with such a prize pool. It's not like the tournament was boring.

How is that cheesing? When MarineKingPrime would base race every tvt with bio against tanks was that cheese?


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.

wat? mvp has like the most variety in builds of any of the current terrans. in bo5 and bo7's he almost always mixes up cheese and macro play, and even with standard play he'd go mech sometimes and bio other times. comparing bulldog to mvp is a shitty comparison.

if it was bulldog to innovation i'd agree, but i have to say that mvp::bulldog is flat out wrong.

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.

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.

I don't think they new the S4 was in range and they were under pressure. That is when you make mistakes.

I fully understand the Navi-fans who are calling the last game "awful".

But having a game like that deciding a final - that's just too good to be true.

i cant. its freaking retarded. that game was absolutely final worthy, a game one can dream of to have as final and if there are people that cant appreciate what that was i feel sorry for them

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.

He wasn't whining and he never said that Alliance didn't deserve to win. He said they were boring as shit.
