Tongfu bring shame to China. What is the correct response to a team going for fountain hooks that aggressively?


Engage on failed hooks, 4v5.


Perhaps. But very hard to do cos the only hero around is chen and maybe wr and they are hook + force staff range away ( 1500++).

If Tongfu had something like clock maybe they could.

Hoping for meepo notail for a day of full chaos.

And as i said that Maelk dashed my hopes.

Units block hook. Visage birds, necrobook etc


Yea units can block hooks.What did that has to do with I said lol.

All i said was that immediately engaging after failed hooks were not that easy even if that was what they should do.

OH NO PEOPLE ARE PLAYING TO WIN IN A 1.4 MILLION DOLLAR FIRST PRIZE TOURNAMENT

A BLOO BLOO BLOO

It's not even about Na'Vi doing anything they can to win even if its completely retarded and turned me off from supporting them, it's the fact that people are celebrating this kind of BS. That "victory" was 100% luck, Na'Vi displayed NO skill in that match.


You think Navi cares that you don't support them anymore when they can win 1.4 million?

No they don't give a shit, and I don't give a shit about them now. That was complete crap, it's literally the same as people celebrating and cheering for Idra swearing, calling people names and early GGing. People around here are little kids, so easily pleased by shitty behavior.


but when [A] picks kotl pl it's all hunky-dory for mr. dedicated [A] fan!

double standards 4ever



The difference is that you have to outplay your opponents first to get into a position to abuse PL/Kotl. With fountain hooking, you can be losing the game and hit maybe 2-3 key ones and turn the entire game around.


I can almost guarantee from a player's perspective you'd call bullshit if you lost to it just in a pub game, let alone in a 2 million dollar tournament.

hows that different from edging out a teamfight with kotl pl and then snowballing that into a decisive advantage and winning (ie. every close/entertaining successful kotl pl game ever)

Or HotD on Gyro even. It's so easy to deal with, but TongFu choked and choked HARD. Pudge is dead weight if he doesn't have a phenomenal start, so by all accounts they could've just kept the pressure up and not started hiding for a half hour while Xboct had total freefarm.

Psh only newbie dota players would complain about this outcome.

For one it's definitely Valve's or Icefrog's problem. Na'vi is a professional team on the line to win hundreds of thousands of dollars, of course they'll do whatever is necessary.

There's other game mechanics that are unintended too. Ursa's Fury Swipes on Rosh, Blink dagger ban on VS, Pudge, Weaver time lapse buyback, Fissure creep block, Tiny's toss double avalanche dmg (not sure if Dota 2 still has it), Kunkka tidebringer crit, Clockwerk's battery assault preventing spell casts, Night Stalker ult extending night, CK wisp tether instant stun, etc etc. They're just remnants from Warcraft 3's game engine.

If you actually think Na'vi "stole" the win, you're crazy. You think "Pudge Chen" will actually work well again? Fuck no. Tongfu just got mind fucked and played too defensively after the first few, and let Alchemist farm up way too much. Any time Dendi missed a hook they could have simply pushed in 5v4, but no, they just sit back and farm.


this is so true .. the alchemist was the cream in the crop of na'vi and TF failed to punish him .. TF also doesnt have carries that will match alche in late game

And as a last nail on the coffin I'll remind to the newbies that icefrog is no blizz dev team.
Whining about something accomplish absolutely nothing.

I tend to be towards the bottom, you play to win, I mean how many cheese outs have we seen in major SC2 games? Tons

I have yet to see any 'creative special strategies' in SC2 where if you can time 2 abilities well you one shot the enemy army.

Every argument that 'this is hard' are ridiculous. It's not hard for the best players in the world since they do this every day all the time.


The Action Jesus 6pool? Proxy rax/port/gate? Cannon rush? DT rush? Reaper rush? 6/9 roach rush? Shall I continue? There's a plethora of cheesy shit in SC2.. and like this game, some people like it, and others cry that it's unfair.

Your argument that "this is hard" is refuted by itself, and by the game. They missed twice as many fountain hooks as they hit, and for some explicable reason, TF refused to push the issue while they not only had a numbers advantage (5v4), but a teamfight/skills/level advantage as well. Fountain hooking is a high-risk/high-reward strategy, and the way that the game was going, it was probably about the only way Na'Vi were going to pull back into the game. (And why are teams not banning Chen vs Na'Vi?? Seriously.)
