Rooting for either Navi or Orange to win this. If Orange wins TI3, it will be a story of a team improving so much throughout the tournament (Mushi and kyxy have really stepped up alot). If Navi wins TI3, it will be about a class team performing in clutch moments. If Alliance wins TI3, it will be about a team that is the most prepared and a well deserved best team of the tournament.
All 3 teams are worthy of TI3 title I must say. I'm glad there's no Chinese teams around because honestly none of them have shown to deserve the title. May the best team win. I think all the underdogs of TI3 are really like-able, from NA DotA to Na`Vi to this run Orange is making, while Alliance is doing methodical domination of the entire scene that hasn't been seen since prime EHOME. I don't like Alliance but I don't hate Loda at all, the guy is a living DotA legend, I think he has a right to be cocky. Can't believe people still disrespect loda. There's probably not another player in ANY competitive game who's kept their performance up as long as he has. Imagine if Nada were still around winning tournaments. Loda is about as oldschool as you can get. i'd respect him a lot more if he didn't come off as a self important, self righteous jackass.
what did he say to come across this way? is it his hat?

Admittedly, Orange are more exciting because they are both playing extremely aggressive dota AND executing perfectly. rofl, i guess you are just too high level to enjoy 'low' level russian doto huh?
The difference is I can enjoy both, rather than finding perfect dota "boring".

I'm more surprised that everyone here is rooting for Orange over Na'Vi. TL is mostly a western audience, and Na'Vi is definitely the more popular team, so that seems kind of strange to me. I love Loda and Akke, but I would be happy if Na'Vi won as well.
I think it's to do with the timing, it's early morning in europe, and late night in the u.s, I think for sure navi will have more supporters.

To be completely fair, the only team that was utterly dominant last year just isn't there anymore (iG), all that happened was that Alliance took that vacuum and filled it. Hell, Na'Vi looks less impressive than last year against an imo even stronger opponent.

i don't know what you consider disrespect. I mean i just dislike the guy as a person, that has nothing to do with his play. Sure hes good, one of the best carrys out there, that doesn't mean i have to bow down to some guy who is an ass.

Just because he's old school and start wining some again doesn't make people like him. A lot of people including me hate him for his personality, not for his achievement.

Ignore him, Dota 2 hipsters are like SC2 hipsters.
"Oh you like dota 2. Yeah, I like it, but only like the highest level dota by really good times. Which teams? You probably haven't heard of any of them."

From everyone here, twitter, and reddit calling him bad and saying he gets carried by his team.

Alliance is actually enjoyable to watch because of the big teamfights that always happen. First you think oh shit Alliance just loss that fight so badly. There's big hope for the opposition. Then suddenly buybacks and teamwipe and free Roshan/raxes.
Their plays are aggressive in the sense that they put alot of pressure on you not getting caught. They go for efficient ganks, and seldom you see them overextending.
Alliance are boring though because they are always the same. They are constantly in control of the game, so you always see ganks happening the same way -> S4 Bat into Akke/EGM/Bulldog. Or if they get fucked, you have Song. Or you see safelane LD getting an unstoppable 13min Radiance, while offensive trilane destroying the enemy team. Or they start losing a fight at their jungle/Roshan, but Prophet took a free rax. Or Cancer Lancer. Or if all else fails, they go Rat doto.

Speaking of how oldschool is Loda, this photo in Liquipedia is just hilarious:

Excerpt from a 2008 Loda interview :
To be a little bit private, if you don’t mind, we hear you don’t have girlfriend for the moment. How long will you keep single, for those female Dota fans of yours?
SK.Loda: Haha well im single atm YES, but I do get my fair share of the ladies anyway. I'll be single for as long it takes for me to fall in love again! Until then I'll just be a playboy and spend some short time with one girl after another, haha.
Loda's gotten better guys.

I started really liking them after they smacked iG around. Ever since they did mostly well but they still have somewhat likable fuckups.
It's a horrible team for your nerves to cheer for tho. :3
