With Navi beating Alliance next year.

With a return of Chinese domination at TI4 and then a final faceoff at TI5.

Feel like they could have made the winner ceremony longer and covered the event for a bit longer afterwards. I don't want it to end.

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.

how exactly would they have killed the throne when furion and ck wisp could just tp back instantly to defend

The last tournament I loved was Jangbi's last OSL victory. That was the best tournament finals ever, and I loved ever moment of it. I love dota.

With a split push. In the final game.

That's the only way.

Best of 7 finals next year.
A complete day dedicated to the final.

Thanks Valve for this incredible awesome Tournament, many of the best matches i've ever seen! Im speechless.

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.


Okay Alliance are like those Zergs at the end of WOL who would go Infestor/Brood Lord every game in all matchups.

This is how a tournament ends: Final set, big plays and comebacks.
Well done Alliance, I don't like it but you deserve to be the winners (fucking S4).

I was rooting for Orange then I was rooting for Na'vi and for both games I felt bitter at how they lost the series. But in the end it was still great fucking dota and the finals didn't disappoint. Valve threw one hell of a tournament, more exciting and engaging than any esport tourney I've seen.

Congrats to Alliance, can't wait for TI4 !! Maybe Orange will comeback to take it all!
Part of being mature is to accept your loss.

People who think fountain hooking takes more skill than split pushing are hilarious



Yeah split pushing it's pretty damn hard:


''Hey we are getting owned 5v5, furion, quick, TP top and auto click the tower!!!!!''.


Stop trying to make this a contest of who is more stupid or what takes more or less skill and just appreciate the fact that you watched the most legendary game of dota in the most fitting of ways, the final game of the international.


Gratz to alliance and navi for delivering the epic match we all wanted.
