I figured, I'm just busting on you right now. Taking some time off with the new promotion? Congratulations, by the way.

This thread is almost as bad as when Hyperdub 2 raxed TLO out of GSL!

I love a good 2rax, except against Losira, why must people continue to do this to him every series? Although I swear he has some sort of lose your natural hatch and then win anyway magic.

I wouldn't mind seeing that strat again to be honest, however I don't want to see it every game. If there's truly no other teams that can do it to that degree/ other teams aren't gonna allow it to happen by banning those heroes it'd be a nice rare treat. Like a Parting level soul train.

this is ridiculous i dont really understand why people complain about chen-pudge combo and asking for nerfs ... this is why this game is popular ,.. maybe the one who complained are new to this and expected this game to be something like sc2 or bw


"this is why this game is popular".

uh
no.

To me it is, if I wanted a fade game with everything linear, toned down I would play lol. But there are a lot of weird things, OP stuff which makes this game amazing.

Anyway I don't even know why everybody is whining about fountain hooks, because it was Tong fu's fault not capitalizing enough when they had their advantage, and letting Hvost farming like mad men. Sure fountain hooks are flashy, but it was just a cleaver strategy to buy time for Hvost, killing one random hero every 5 minutes is not turning a game around.

Ugh you people seriously are ....

You're all about gimicky bs, "OPA DENDI OPA XD!!" like this hook or freaking Ursa and meepo ugh. What a ton of crap, that was a disgusting game and Na'Vi should be ashamed. But nope, everyone stood and screamed and clapped at such a shameful display, there was no skill, no team play just fucking luck. I hope Alliance destroys these people tomorrow, I look forward to it.


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.



Do you even play dota?

Fountain hooking is the most impossible thing to ever coordinate and pull off. There's only 2 players in the world that could pull it off in a pro game.

If they're that good, hats off to them.

Stop crying

Just stop with that opinion, it's wrong. 1% of the player base can do it easily.


So why shouldn't they be allowed to do it?

Should cannon rushes and 6 pools be banned from competitive starcraft?

Go back to SC2 and bitch about how stale and boring it is. We like dota fine.

If 1% of the player base can do it, all pro teams can do it with ease. So if it is actually that OP, why have we not seen it in every single tournament of the last decade?

Because pudge should lose mid to 95% of the hero pool. I actually thought tongfu wouldve gone storm instead of doom.

I want to see Meepo just because you've been hyping it up whenever Fnatic plays.

Bye v1lat, I'm switching back to English casters


bye english casters, switchin to mute

Haven't heard english casters all tournament except when they leak in through the chinese casters mics and It's been the best dota 2 casting yet!


I wished the chinese casters had better sound-proofing.

Valve obviously not giving them enough money, trying to rig this tournament against the chinese

V1lat keeps complaining that the Koreans next to him are too fucking loud as well. =D

lol I'd love to see him try to tell the Koreans to be quieter, they would just get more animated.

He said his goal is to make sure he is again loudest caster at TI during the grand final. :3

Korea wasn't there last year. You don't beat Korea in terms of crazy casting.

PLAGUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuu

:D



IT SOUNDS JUST THE SAME


Oh god, I never saw that video, this is friggin amazing.

Just not true. That's why we have nerfs, because things are overpowered.

IceFrog mostly buffs.

Watch "extra credits" episode on "balance of imbalance"? on PennyArcade. Not sure about that episode title.

So much is called overpowered. Normally the teams themselves find answers with time. Not all problems need to be fixed by paths.
