Alliance recognized what was important that game and executed well. They made good trades when DK had the advantage, and capitalized on DK's mistakes. The gem loss near Rosh where s4 lasso-ed ROTK from under 4 DK players' noses was absolutely game changing. i think it was few things. the xp advantage was important honestly, i don't know why LD and Lumi were saying it didn't matter when the reality was that the supports of Alliance were near level 20 and DK were like at level 12 and i didn't feel super contributed at all in terms of damage. linkin might not have been a bad choice but i don't think going both bkb and linkin was smart when you sacrifice any going items that can give damage. | ||

That's pretty much every game of alliance, to be honest, his prophet is WAY stronger than LD. They could just counter pick against natures prophet. Just pick a storm spirit (or even a spirit breaker if you want to go deep) if NP is giving them hell. Lone druid however is a hero that doesn't really have any obvious weakness's, some heroes can be quite good against him (brewmaster is actually very good) but he just generally grinds out what he has to do regardless. | ||

But imagine if Blizzard or Riot would do or would've done something similar to compendium. Prizepool incrased and extra cash from the rest to profit some of the costs of the event. | ||

Burning would have had similar farm, and LD can't stop teamfights like a NP can. You can't just replace the LD first ban with NP and expect the draft goes the same. In that case Alliance just drafts gyro, siren and goes offensive tri-lane. Then you end up with Rotk Darkseer vs Bulldog Lone Druid and we know how easily Bulldog free farms against basically any 1v1 hero, let alone Darkseer. He gets a 15 minute midas radiance, breaks the base and 90% of you come out saying "WHY DIDN'T THEY BAN THE LONE DRUID WTFNOOBS". Lone Druid is Bulldogs best hero by far, there are a handful of prophet players who play just as well as Bulldog, but ZERO Lone Druid players who come even close to Bulldogs mastery. | ||

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) Yeah, it's almost like the Eastern teams start off with 0 bans, since they have to ban LD and Wisp all the time. | ||

HD pass is just very unfun and you don't get HD for free. Compendum with some of the money added to prize pool and item win chances is just fun and people are much more likely to buy it, also free HD: I also don't doubt for a second that the compendum is more successful... If my calculations are correct they sold over half a million of those | ||

This makes every other event look amateurish. It's easy when you can throw arbitrary amounts of money after their one big tournament without really worrying about making a profit from it. Unlike what a ton of the other tournaments have to do. | ||
