This TI was painful to watch for me.

BurNIng not even getting top 3 on what could be his last tournament (I really hope it isn't). Why do they always go for mid Alch? They have the best carry player and first pick the most broken carry in the game, but better send him mid so he can have his 20+ min Phase Mek and be completely useless. They had a good shot at beating Alliance too...
iG doing pretty bad, even though they were a lot better than the last few months. Not to mention LGD not even getting into top 8.
TongFu basically gets bullshitted out of a top 3 (and possibly higher) placement.
Orange, after kicking out DK and TF, basically throws as hard as it can get. How is it even possible to deny the Aegis?

Na`Vi getting to the grand final was nothing short of a miracle. Then again, so was the last game (karma?). Probably the best game possible to end a tournament though. I'm impressed by s4, he was clutch as hell and an amazing drafter/captain. Akke was great as well.

Oh, and banning Naga Chen (and KotL in second phase) was smart by Puppey.

Now waiting for the big reshuffle.

Honestly I was prepared to write Ti3 off and was going to jump aboard the Ti2 > Ti3 thing because of some disappointing, passive rat doto games until the grand finals.

Don't get me wrong, there were plenty of games that were quality but going into the Grand Finals I was expecting Na'Vi to get stomped. Yet lo and behold, Na'Vi proved me wrong and was the only other team aside from DK to seemingly make them bleed. Every single moment, so many big plays and so much energy behind the last game was nothing short of amazing to me. It ended on such a high note to me.

Can anyone tell me why Shadow Demon was hardly picked/banned this TI3? I remember seeing him everywhere recently but barely saw a peep of him all of TI3...

He isn't high impact enough.

SD is strong for a support, but he is not chen strong, or rubick strong, or naga siren strong, or nyx assassin strong.

edit: Or visage strong, or wisp strong.
Really, he is situational for his unique strengths, not for his general power as a hero.

idk hes really good just not really good at how the game is played out as much atm., hes really strong vs any melee carry, esp naix/am so he could easily fit back into the mix when the meta changes from the more bursty picks people are going for lately (i.e visage pretty much replaced him)

Why Na'Vi? this puts a dent to waking up at 4am on my birthday... but oh well~
wisp with a 100% win rate in the grand finals.. you'd think Na'Vi wouldn't let [A] pick it...
dang it dang it dang it I left when Na'Vi were up 2:1 thought they'd be able to win a single game out of 2... :/

GGWP Alliance...Worthy TI3 Champions..Even though I fucking hate Rat Dota

GGWP to Na'vi too..Puppey clearly showing the way how to draft against Alliance when the whole world felt Clueless and taking Na'vi to their 3rd TI Finals in as many years..If they reach it again next year will they be regarded as the Greatest DOTA 2 team in History?

my closing thoughts:

1) Not missing a single game of TI3 in the Australian timezone is really damn draining.
2) Fountain hooks are bullshit. I'm still fuming from that game.
3) Poor kyxy
4) I hope Burning doesn't retire, he can still do great things yet.
5) That was one of the best final games of any tournament I've ever watched
6) juff is a fucking boss for live reporting all the games. seriously, what a hero
7) China disband... or at least massive reshuffle. i expect a very interesting chinese scene for the next few months
8) Amazing production from the team. There are a lot of things they can improve about TI in general, but overall great job.
9) Thank god azarkon was banned for the main event.
10) Long live Dota 2!

The 'Fountain Hook' was an unintended consequence of mechanics, but Valve/icefrog liked it and kept it. It won't be "fixed", because it's now a part of the game. Like many things before it. Neutral creep stacking? That was an unintended bug from the start that was kept because it was a mechanic that was liked. Many of the 'features' that you nowadays see as a part of dota started as an unintended bug, just like fountain hooks. It won't go away, just like stacking didn't.

the hook itself won't be fixed, but the visual problem is very much a bug. there's a reason why valve stopped navi from using it further, as well as only showcasing one of those hooks as a highlight. if it was such a play i'm sure they would have top10'd more fountain hooks than just one random one on mu.

Yes, the visual bug needs to be fixed, agreed. But the mechanics are here to stay, as it's not been removed even though it's been known since 2011. Sadly many (new to dota, I'd assume) people are under the impression that it's a bug that's being exploited and that needs to be fixed sooner rather than later.

Man. I honestly feel like no other event can match this hype. The International has to be the gold standard of eSports.


Huh? The final game was great but what was so special about the event itself? Definitely not the introduction nor winners cemeronies.


The production was better than the last 20 cheaply produced SC2 events combined. Get over it, deal with it. A new era has begun. TB and Artosis switching is only the beginning.


The awards ceremony was much more anticlimactic than the last GSL.


Ok, fine. The ending ceremony (0.001% of the whole tournament) could have been done a little bit better.

How about the game scheduling with less games played per day? Instead of 5 days how bout like 7 days?

IMO they already have to be. 3 years in a row, no team has shown the level of consistency as Na'Vi.

I just wanted Alliance to lose because of Loda's hat and EGM never taking that hoodie off... Has anyone ever seen his hair? Whats up with that? They even put their headphones over them...
