if Na'Vi looses, they will end up top6 max which is a total failure and XBOCT would be kicked from the team i think.

Xboct played really well that game. The problem was they didn't get the ganks they needed and it fell appart. They were behind in levels and gold. The other team has to throw for you to win that.



Were you watching the same game as everyone else was? Hvost had at least 4 preventable deaths.

Yes and it was one game. That is why I said continues. And other players did poorly too, it wasn't him. Why are we talking about kicking a player on the second winningest team in the event when they lose one game with a bad draft?

man dota is hard to understsand...or maybe a lot of effort to learn to expectate properly


I personally started watching Dota during last year's International. It took me a few games to get into it but after that, I was able to understand most things going on in the game.

It's definitely not easy to learn everything but you don't need that to enjoy it



It's really hard to understand if you have never played it.

Get a few games in and it's going to improve.


You're absolutely right although I don't think its that difficult to learn just by watching because that's pretty much what I did.



Much harder than other games, though.

In SC2 stuff just kills other stuff, you got a couple of casters there, but basically that's it.

In Dota2 you have 10 guys with weird spells running around doing crazy shit.

Talk about oversimplifying things.


Well you know what I mean.

Sorta, but you could've just gone with "SC2 games have one player against another, Dota 2 has 10 players on two teams on a large map. It's not as easy to spectate and can definitely be much more confusing for newcomers.



That's pretty good, too. You're right. :D

it can be used to hold down the razor with fiends grip and it is a good denial pick since lifestealer is pretty weak vs bane since fiends grip goes through magic immunity (rage/bkb)

He's good and avoid nightmare/static link combo and naix counter.
