But it's made to seem much worse when they waffle around for 15 minutes on the cast making it feel like the game never actually ended. | ||

Brew still has the crit steroid and the evasion passive. With heart and AC he becomes a moderate DPS threat in the late game while being impossible to kill. He can blink on backlline supports and completely take them out before he even has to split. | ||

He can blink on backlline supports and completely take them out before he even has to split. Well Brew does peak at 16, though I agree that Draskyll was laying it on a bit thick. Same for when he was saying Dignitas had no lategame, when he said that, Luna was catching up on farm and would only snowball from there. I don't know if he was having cast(He was casting quite a bit I think so he might have just be tired), or just trying to hype the game more by making it seem like Empire had more of a chance than they did, | ||

 Every recent post of yours seems to be about this :DYou do have a point though. It should be possible to exploit such greedy lineups. Empire lacked a way to quickly and reliably take out a single target though - that and they simply didn't play very well. | ||

No, i just don't see such lineups possible against best Asian teams, you would get destroyed in first 10 mins. And if several Euro teams failed to do it (if anything, Dignitas's draft is very predictable, so you should know what to do against it), thats a wake up call for an entire western scene. | ||

It's not much different than KR in SC2. We like to cheer for the western teams because we can relate and like the underdogs but if you watch the level of play objectively, the west by and large is still very far behind. Some games are cringe-worthy from a professional gaming point of view. i think a lot of it comes down to preparation for certain matches. if you play 40 official "maps" a month (thats what fnatic played in february i think) you cant expect them to be as well prepared and focussed as the chinese who play maybe 10 "maps". yeah IG is unbeatable and lgd.cn is probably better than anything in the west but with the right strategy and a bit of luck, the top 4 of the west (atm i'd say nth, fnatic, vp and liquid on a good day) could beat xiao8 and co. DK isnt so far ahead anyway and the sea teams are not very consistent in their performance. (these ice3 plays...) | ||

There are actually two ways to beat what Dignitas is doing. Kill them early for their greed. Most western teams seem to be unable to do it reliably as it requires quite good execution. Or do what Liquid did in last game of D2L, just be more greedy. Frankly the draft out of Liquid in that game was in my opinion the most beautiful draft I have seen in DoTa2 ( I am new so probably there were better drafts ). And I do not mean the actual heroes, I mean the strategy behind that draft. It was such a nicely built trap/mindgame and Dignitas actually killed themselves by their greed and transparent tendencies already in a drafting phase. There are so many beautiful things about how Liquid went about that draft, TC should get a medal If he was drafting. | ||
