I enjoyed the last game. No one forcing you to watch games you don't like. Please let's hype na'vi vs tongfu now.

I think it will be a classic LWW from Na'VI.

Has nothing to do with playing to win. Has more to do with the fact that E-sports hinges on having viewers, and Kotl/Pl/Batrider comps are completely boring to watch and simply boring.

Why is it boring?
I think their strategy is to dumpster bad Western teams (c) uriel

So now we're pulling the "Killing Esports" card? Why don't you tell us how many thousands of viewers that game lost?



?


You realize how many viewers DotA lost when there was unlimited buybacks, short tp timers, and 70 minute farm fests? Not like the game was big at that point, but DotA was beginning to lose tons of viewers.


The way Alliance play is absurdly boring. They pick nothing but split push/disengage heroes and it's boring as fuck to watch. Extremely effective, and very strong. No doubt at all. But to think that it's 'fun' to watch is hilarious. The fact that you had a crowd cheering for a 4 protect 1 AM strat should tell the story.


Pretty sure watching alliance play kotl pl is incredibly entertaining.

If you think that game was boring keep away split push you clearly stopped watching after the draft, alliance ganked the shit out DK.

Agreed, if it goes down to Navi vs Alliance in the grand finals, I'm cheering for Navi.

Would you prefer to watch people actively engage on the map or do you want to watch snooze fests where both KotL and PL PvE while Batrider walks around waiting for someone to stick their head out?

PL and Naga do suck quite a bit. I would rather see LD and Wisp ganks but they keep getting banned
