Precisely.

And people are saying Na'Vi are killing and disrespecting esports apparently because of this.

This is fucking entertainment


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

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.
the farm ends here

People who are complaining about hook/teleport have obviously never attempted to try it themselves and can't see how fucking hard it actually is.
