I'm a DotA noob and have no idea what this meepo talk is about. When does Liquid play? (lol, sorry, I kid, I kid. But I am a noob)

I think the best analogy is building scouts in Brood War.


Except that building Scouts is a totally troll build. I would say it's more like Deep 6 in BW. Fnatic's Notail plays Meepo well, and they have drafted them before. It's a pocket strat by them.

azarkon is the one that starts it across multiple boards and it makes people pretty mad



There's no flaming, I just want to understand how Dignitas is a tier 2 western team, beats a tier 2 Chinese team, then loses to a team from the weakest scene in DotA 2.


Because tier 2 teams are capable of upsetting tier 1 teams but are not able to beat them solidly. Were they able to do it solidly, they're then no longer tier 2 teams but tier 1 teams.

Dignitas upset LGD 2-0 but losing to Orange was entirely within their tier rank.



So you're saying SEA isn't weak then? Orange beating Dignitas means that they are fully capable of beating a Chinese Tier 1 team, and since they took a game off a super tier Na'vi team, they clearly can't be weak then right? So how is SEA weak again?

On average, SEA is the weakest region -

No SEA team left in the WB
The worst team in the tournament is a SEA team
2/3 SEA teams dropped out during the Prelims

Orange, the one SEA team that has been doing okay this TI, doesn't look solid at all vs. top Western and Chinese teams.
