Na'Vi are terrible people for using an intended in-game mechanic to win a game in a tournament where the 1st prize is 1.4 million dollars, they should be banned from all dota tournaments for life

I don't think IceFrog or the developers thought anyone would actually have the execution to pull it off. However, it does feel 100% bullshit from a player's standpoint that you outplay the other team the entire time, have a timing push with an aegis, and then lose because you lose the aegis to a borderline abuse that you honestly cannot outplay apart from 'dodging.'

Creative play not allowed.

You're using the word creative in a pretty creative way.

It's a legit strat - yes, but I do hope that IceFrog removes this. Not gonna take anything away from Na'Vi, it's cool and all and there's a small window and no matter what people say, they did what they had to do to win, thus they deserved and got it, but I hope this doesn't become the norm. Oh well, good dota

the hook teleport combo is just toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo gimicky. It's a low risk high reward strat. Yeah sure it takes ALOT OF SKILL but what can the enemy do when the pudge can do it well?

low risk

Stop talking about things you don't know anything about.

lol, amount of whine here makes this even more funny. It's not like dendi invented fountain hooks today. There was a lot of time to "fix" it and icefrog didn't. hence it's legit strat and legit win. gg

It's cheesy but fountain hooks need strong 2 player coordination with a skill shot and it failed A LOT wasting tons of time for Dendi walking back into lane all the time. I don't see how it's really any different then a more stable desperation play of delay turtling into a 60+ min game until your hard carry is caught up or buying a divine.
