Why must this community be so shallow...

Are you calling me shallow for ayesee's negativity towards players and their playstyles? He gets the crowds to boo the players and the game of dota because he gets bored and you are calling me shallow. The guy spews nothing or incorrect information for the entirety of the game.

Yes. You are pathetically shallow for twisting scenarios to suit your own bias.

Have you heard any other caster twist the crowd to boo the game because he is bored?

I haven't seen a single caster "twist the crowd to boo the game because he is bored".

Then maybe you should watch the DK vs IG 96 minute game.

You mean the game where Ayesee spent 40 minutes getting the crowd involved in the most random things when nothing else was happening?

Yeah the one where he was bashing the players and getting the crowd to boo them when they didn't engage.

XBOCT shouldn't even be considered the weakest player on Na'Vi anymore. He's gotten much better especially during/after the China bootcamp.

If there's a "weak point" on Na'Vi, it's actually probably Kuroky, not because of his individual skill (which is fantastic), but because of how inconsistent he is about maintaining support basics in a losing game (wards most importantly). It's just that Na'Vi very rarely gets into games disadvantaged enough where that matters (and when Dendi plays Pudge, he buys wards/smoke for his solo ganks himself).

i thought he skips the support basics so that he can get that early FS/blink?

Which is fine in winning games where they have map control and he gets them fast. In a losing game where he's just sitting on 1500 and not buying wards, Na'Vi gives up alot. See their games vs. Fnatic in groupstage.

I don't know why people are comparing clock hook to pudge hook.

The only similarity in how they are aimed and that they are called hook.

But in reality, clock hook is more similar to a blink strike than pudge hook in terms of how it affects the game.

Compare him in a way to EGM. Both play a more farmy support but Alliance never lack the support basics. In fact the support basics are actually the most impressive thing about alliance.

I think it was mainly new people who don't know much about Dota who were asking?

Agreed - though I think XBOCT has always been very strong on LAN

i thought he skips the support basics so that he can get that early FS/blink?

they've basically built a style around getting supports/offlaners with summons/vision (visage/chen/naga or funnik NP/BH) and using them to fulfill the role of wards, then play greedy and come out with way more farm/levels than whoever they're facing (esp chinese). I thought it was a weakness too but they've adjusted so well it's more a unique playstyle

pretty notable that [A] do a similar thing, though Akke still plays really support-ey

Looking like a 28-29min Radiance. It's really slow but just barely passaible. Considering they're a set of raxes down, it's way too slow though. Really needed the radi at 20min so that they could now fight with Spectre's second major item.

I get that Dendi Pudge is a thing, but is the hook generally this hyped?
From my pov it seem as a pretty easy skill to use, it "hangs" there for a long time, it catches when going out and coming back in and it have a low CD.




It just looks cool, and some hooks make him look like he has map hacks. This game there havent been too many jaw dropping ones, but you should check out a dendi hooks highlight video. It's a kind of predict and try to hit spell,you need to think about where the hero is going to be an place the hook, so it's a bit of luck, some prediction. and hooks are extremely satisfying.
