im new to dota, can somebody tell me why they always rely on a single very strong hero instead of having 3-4 strong heroes?
I cant figure why you would put all eggs into one basket?! if the opponent team has one hero you fear, you disable him and then you can clear the map? also, why are some heroes still farming if they have enough money to buy back and the items they want to have? why not let the lesser developed heroes get the kills to make them strong, too?

Because the carrys scale better into the end game, but have a weaker start. The longer the game goes, the better they get. THey still need supports, but the carry will always be the biggest damage dealer. And in many line ups they have 2 -3 cores, one being in the 1st postion.

GG

But I still don't like premature GG calls...


I do hope you mean the casters' early "gg" when [A] teamwiped first.

DK's "gg" at the end was in no imaginable way premature.

Well, if the gg is called by casters before the players call it, it's premature. I guess. I mean it was pretty obvious who was going to win at that point, but crazy shit CAN happen in Dota, even though it rarely does.


Casters calling gg (Within reason) isn't really a bad thing though, if it was the game ending point, then it just makes the casters look good (plus helps new people understand at what point the game was finished) and if there is a comeback, then it just makes the comeback much more intense then if the casters had let on that it was still all up in the air.

IMO no. Casters calling gg too early = they have COMPLETELY ruled out the possibility of a comback.
I even had a 4v5 game once that my team won pretty convincingly

Admiral Bulldog pretty much won the game for Alliance - if that wasn't a NP, DK would have pushed to win that game a long time ago.

Also holy shit those forcestaffs.



That's pretty much every game of alliance, to be honest, his prophet is WAY stronger than LD.

After the armlet nerf, I don't see any reason to ban LD over NP against Alliance anymore.



Bulldog wins lanes he has no business winning with LD. You cannot allow it to go through or he gets an 18 minute midas Radience.

LD wins lanes, sometimes.

NP wins games.

NP won this game for alliance - the split push meant DK couldn't teamfight comfortably.


Bulldog LD wins Games...Always
He plays the LD to near perfection and I have rarely seen his LD lose..You have to ban both NP and LD against Bulldog and then you open up yourself for either a Wisp or Bat and If Alliance Bans them both then you get a Fair game.

China Bans Wisp + Druid -> Bulldog always gets his NP

One of the Reasons why Western teams can atleast take games off Alliance in Online cups (Mouz ,Kaipi)
Thy Shall Die Alone...or emm..something like that.

Wow production of The International looks REALLY expensive haha, worth every penny though. Very little to none dead air, the host lady is awesome, the sound is actually good and awesome analysis/casters . Great stuff Valve.

It's so incredibly impressive and complex. Hopefully getting to see all that insanity makes some people stop and think for a second before saying "omg noobs wtf" when there's some kind of little production snafu.

yea... having months of prep time, weeks of reharsal and a shit ton of cash to hire really professional people helps
TI happens what, 2 times a year?
if we have only this tourney, the scene would be dead, we need smaller tournaments

IMO, it is harder to pull small ones, sorry

Probably expensive but remember that valve got 3 million $ from the compendium only (+1 million that got to the prize pool).
