He was forced to leave lanes because he knew he was getting beat. A mid Tinker's main goal is to farm a BoT ASAP. Rune control is useful, sure, but only when it helps you farm / gank and 430 did neither well that game.

430 did not beat him 'quite handily' every other game on even lanes. Bring up one game where 430 beat him 'handily' on even lanes. TA vs. DK is not an even lane, and TA vs. DK + Puppey support is worse because Puppey does not know how to lane - we saw that whenever he played out of the jungle.

Dendi outplayed 430 several times this tournament, and it's sad that people don't see it. Another example I remember is when 430 and Dendi were contesting a rune, TA vs. Rubick, and 430 invis'd ontop of the rune but Dendi still stole it with his better timing.


who care in the end IG with 430 win ti2

But he is an european fanboy so he needs to be delusional about every game where a european team lost.

It was QoP vs DK/Rubick; obviously someone's making shit up. QoP vs DK with a support is a match-up where DK should end up more farmed than QoP; however, not only was Dendi not keeping up, he was straight losing in CS, while QoP also got alot of runes despite Dendi having flame breathe to push creeps and Puppey to premptively go to the runes.


LOL; in group stage Dendi got crushed by 430, and in the winner bracket 430's Puck was winning until Dendi's team came and bailed him out. Dendi outplayed Ferrari several times? Dendi is neither in the top GPM, top kills, nor top assists. Ferrari averaged over 6 kills a game in TI2; Dendi had a much lower average (I think it was like in the 4 kill range per game). Believe what you want; Ferrari statistically outplayed Dendi the entire tournament. He also passed the eyesight test, and has the H2H advantage over him in mid lanes won.

Lol pretty sure if you have to ban the hero they are probably damn good with it, even if they haven't played it in a while. Otherwise why ban it.

Well I never watched a Dota 2 match in my life and my only experience with Moba is LoL. Can I still watch the final and enjoy it? Would I be able to understand and follow what is going on?

Yes, the casters does a fantastic job. In fact, you may find out that you like dota more than LOL.
The world is burning and you rather be on this terrible website discussing video games and your shallow feelings

The games are practically the same in a basic sense, but I would recommend going to the Liquipedia and looking up all the heroes that get picked so you know what their abilities do. Otherwise you might feel kind of lost and likely won't learn much.

if the spectators client is still up, while watching the game, you can see what the spells do, damage and effect, making it more easier to understand what's going on the game.

If a "far inferior" team can take 3 games off such a superior team as iG, even with this "Naga counter", maybe iG needs to re-evaluate their play. How can they lose to such a worse team so many times, and being countered the same way 3 times.

Also, by "Naga counter" do you mean Juggernaut pick? Twice? Cause they lost to it twice.

Or Rubick? Or Enigma + Rubick + midgame BKB?

It would be nice if you backed up your fanboy (or Na'Vi hate) a little bit.
