Wow. Too bad for Tongfu. Na'vi's strat still feels cheap. There will be people here rationalizing that bullshit though.

He's mad.

his right. This is a competitive game. This type of bullshit shouldnt be allowed, especially for a competitive game like Dota 2


You serious?

"High risk high reward gameplay shouldn't be allowed because I hate it when it works"

Go whine about dark templar in the BW forums with idra please


Best. Response. Ever.

But seriously.. what kind of reasoning is this? Its in the game. Use it.

This isn't even something where a team is playing ratdoto or something; this is simply absuing an awful mechanic to beat the team that deserves to win. If TongFu loses from loser bracket, I'll be absolutely disgusted.

I'm just done with this game. I can't watch this awful, awful game.


I dont even. You are quick to call this strat bad but AM splitpush 40 mins in game 2 was pretty good. Navi won because TF got nothing done when they were ahead, they lost on their on fault

personally, i'm pissed that Na'Vi which i consider a fantastic team went for some random bullshit, i understand game 1 as a psychological attack and a decent line up actually. Game 2 was stupid , game 3 looks even more stupid. Na'Vi is capable of so much more and not 6pool cheeses.


God forbid someone does creative play

Creep stacking is cheesy and an unintended bug. I don't see people throwing panties in the air over it.



Except this isn't a confirmed change by IceFrog. A developer confirmed it, but I don't ever consider 'developer' confirmed as 'final.'


I fully expect IceFrog to change the way the interaction works because Na'vi has no business winning this; this got totally turned around the second Hao with aegis got hooked into fountain.


I hope you have such high principles for Alliance picking Siren to break Spectre ult+radiance burn which is a legitimate bug that exists



You do what you have to do to win. Never said it's not smart.

TF got ahead and took Rosh, but lost Hao due to a hook into fountain. After that Tongfu was too scared to do anything.
