How can you guys blame DK for losing that? The only reason they lost was because they didn't back after winning the huge roshan fight (and getting the rapier). If they had backed then everyone would be booing and whining even more. You should be thanking DK for ending such a "boring" game.
I don't think so. Rapier did not make much of a difference. Burning was putting all his items on Bear, and the Bear just melts so fast. His hero's damage itself is negligible. If DK backed, we'd probably see 2-3 more rosh fights.

Thank you based Icefrog. Chinese doto boring doto.

HoN's solution was limiting each player to two buybacks which would probably make a bigger difference than any of those changes.

Only thing that would make up for that game 2 is pudge.

Longest LCS game was 71 min.Its pretty uncommon to games go longer than 40 50 unless one team is playing to drag on purpose like CLG.

People worried about that game being bad for Dota has never watched pro LoL. That's fucking standard, except every fucking game has the same lane and team setup.

and he's accomplished just that. he's shortened the length of the average game but did not leave out the possibility of game's being able to last this long.

I suppose this means, that the release of Half Life 3 will coincide with the end of the third match. So still no real way of knowing when that may be. "Soon", probably!

I dunno, you guys are awfully uptight. The crowd and casters were trying to have fun with the game, and all I read here are super serious people finger wagging. That game was stupidly wrong, both teams were playing absurdly safe even when the game didn't rest on a knife's edge. Korean casters were just as frustrated, they were cursing at the game. I'm sure a lot of people here preferred them because they just didn't understand what they were saying.
The crowd was exhausted but having fun. Casters were tired and frustrated, but having fun with it. Nobody's feelings were hurt.
The game was on a knife's edge. DK tried barreling mid around 30 min into the game but iG splitpushed ridiculously well. Remember how DK had to sacrifice two tier 2 towers for 1 tier 2 tower despite having a bear? Remember how DK nearly lost their top tier 3 just by pushing mid?
Even when DK had a considerable gold/exp lead, Zhou's Rapier shredded Syllabear's bear, making 2/3 of Burning's net worth useless.
Comparing Ayesee's commentary with Tobi's LGD vs iG and BTS' iG vs LGD.Int highlights just how unprofessional it comes off as.

It's just games don't tend to go that far anymore.
It makes games in the 40-60 minute range more likely to end immediately because you can't defend high ground with double/triple buyback from a single hero. Repeated buybacks only help the defending team because the attacking team can only TP back into the fight once anyway, barring a few specific heroes.
