Watch the games again, you have no idea what you're talking about.


... are you trolling or what?

Why would I ? Everyone seems to enjoy ignoring how well XBOCT plays and turning average plays some others make into amazing plays.


I don't think he had any exceptional plays. I do think he's the weakest on Na`Vi, though obviously very good.

Lol no, he definately played well this game but the first two games were not spectacular, especially the first one where he played really badly. Pretty much the same thing for Dendi, good the last 2 games but pretty bad the first one. LoH played well the second game and okayish the first and third. AA played spot on every 3 games, so did puppey

Really? XBOCT got shut down really hard in the early game but still was #1 in gold and made some really good plays later on as well. XBOCT in fact was the only player who played decently in game 1.


Ars-Art has been playing amazing this series. His rhasta in the 2nd match was insane, he wardtrapped every freaking time. AA is really the unsung hero of Na'vi. So many big names on the team but he's so solid.

He definitely played well as well, and might very well have played the best.

I'm really pissed off though for people calling XBOCT the worst player on Na'Vi, completely ignoring the good plays he continuously makes, the constant #1 in farm even in the game where Na'Vi got completely destroyed, him making Void work, and so on. And then everyone wets themselves when Dendi presses R and clicks a tide when he's watching for the Ravage for the whole time.

and those just get boring really fast, watching people without personality play just gets stale.

How don't the Chinese players have personality.. I have never got this criticism, even for sc2 korean players. -.-

IMO XBOCT certainly isn't the strongest on Na`Vi. He's definitely extremely good, but not quite legendary status of Dendi/Puppey/LoH. I would even place Ars-art above XBOCT if I had to simply based on his long gaming history.

I wonder what the effect of Na'Vi winning The International for a second time will be on the competitive scene. Somehow, I just feel it's just not interesting to have one team dominate the scene for so long.

Dendi only missed ONE ravage. I shouldn't have to explain how big and how difficult that is. if he misses just one of those ravage steals LGD could have a good chance to win that game.

Watch the games again, you have no idea what you're talking about.

XBOCT is individually the weakest player by a decent margin.


I'd argue that it's Ars-Art, but I would agree that the other 3 are better individual players

Crazy talk, ARS-ART is amazing


Bud all 5 are amazing :D

To me though, AA is slightly less amazing than the rest though

Imo it's Puppey, Smile and LoH who enable Dendi/Xboct to shine. Those two are the backbone on which Dendi can pull off amazing plays and xbocts weaknesses get compensated.

To eliminate bracket luck.

Seriously can you imagine if they gave winner's bracket a game advantage in DoTA? Or extended series? "Oh, this team gets an hours worth of advantage"... It'd be stupid. This way we get to see the best tea vs second best team on even ground in the finals. Can't wait.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

More games to watch, I guess.

Having only the team that's done best have no second life is very intelligent.


This is totally retarded, lol.
