Check that. It's on the dev forum, just have to look around.

The bug is that it gets hooked at all.
The Ancestral Spirit is not supposed to interact with abilities like hook.

does anyone have the link to the site that tracked what heroes was and wasnt picked in ti3?

I agree with everything else besides 7), they did much better than people thought considering what ACTUALLY happened and what almost no one realized. Source? Chinese casters. Basically there are cases of fountain hooks (every angle that's not directly from the fountain) where the hook projectile (Pudge original position) is the one that you'd need to dodge but it's invisible while the hook visual that you see comes straight from the fountain. That's confirmed as a bug on the dev forum as well. The last pages of the day 3 thread have some insight on that by Yango. Its unclear how they are going to fix the bug, however. They might leave the ability to fountain hook the same, but make it so it can always be seen.
Trying to fix the mechanics is gonna be really hard because of the way the hook mechanics work. I think they are better off moving the hook mechanics to DotA 1 hook mechanics.

I agree with everything else besides 7), they did much better than people thought considering what ACTUALLY happened and what almost no one realized. 7.) is sad since TF was literally fountain-hooked out of WB. 3.) is just sad. Let's just say Na'vi got really fucking lucky to make it to the finals. I mean this with all respect, but I can't see it as any more than pure luck. But hey, luck plays a huge part in all tournaments. So long as Azarkon doesn't try to make 2.) or 3.) a point in arguing how West > East.
7 was decided to be left in the by dev forums and icefrog, and valve said everything in the game is legal at the start of the tourney. I'm not really sad about tongfu, even with fountain hooks they had the advantage and didn't capitalize on it(like all china teams).
I agree Navi lucked their way to grand finals.
Is 3 talking about the aegis deny?
Edit: I'd like it if they fix the bug with the hook animation and leave it in!

and yes... chinesse casters are somewhat angry because Dendi freaking owned them Nothing to do with being angry or not. The gameplay is intended but the visuals not matching the effect is unintentional. That part is the bug that we're talking about.

There should be a month of break for the players, then the Big shuffle of teams will begin. This time DOTA2 is more popular so i predict more tournaments, to i think maybe in 1 or 2 months we will have more tournaments.

About when should we get announcements on future competitions this year? i'll be making a dota2 LR resources thread soon heh, i'm surprised you got hooked so quickly though That final game was seriously the single greatest thing I have ever seen in my(esports) life. Better than Squirtle Mvp, better than DRG MMA and all that. it's quite rare though - i've watched dota for the better part of a year and dota still has the problem that games are quite long, the metagame can stagnate, and sometimes the death animation takes a looong time. that game was one in a million

If you think that Navi throwed the game you need some more Dota 2 time Navi actually outplayed Alliance the whole game till the million dollar Dream Coil (aside from Dendi dying at Rosh). Then they loss whatever advantage they had from that moment. There was little chance Alliance would win if the Dream Coil didn't happen. How about first Rosh?
