Yea it's Newbees draft we have to flame. It's not like Na'Vis lineup couldn't do anything even if Newbee had their ulties down.


I didnt flame anything, I said I hate this style of play. dont be a fanboy.



The amount of underlying racism on these forums is sickening, that's why some people are getting fed up with it. All the SEA/Chinese teams have been playing extremely aggressive styles of play, and yet people call it boring. iG gets Ember Spirit and rolls a team? Boring. DK runs a strong push strat that takes extreme execution? Boring. VG runs a brilliant Pugna centric push strat? Boring. LGD runs a midgame centric line-up centered around Invoker's great teamfighting? Boring.


Anything the Asian teams do is considered boring here, and it's fucking ridiculous. People also flame the Aryans of Alliance for their "rat" style. The Aryans of Alliance also get flamed for their "rat style".




Really? Underlying racism? For most people I doubt it's that.

You hate that Navi lost. No matter that style Newbee played, I'm sure you would have had a problem with it.


Really? You must know me better than me. Because I didnt complain at all during group play.

Na'Vi is lacking the Na'Vi factor this year, even in the games they've won. They underestimated other teams and the amount of preparation required.

This game wasn't that boring. It was competitive for a while at least.

Although I think deathballing is the least interesting style of dota. I've said that since forever, has nothing to do with Chinese teams.

I don't understand the trend of safe-lane Razor. What exactly does this hero really offer in the safelane and what exactly is making him so valued? Is he good against any particular hero that warrants a firstpick/ban that teams are giving to him?


He doesn't need babysitting (so team like Liquid could run a lot of roaming supports with it), he's good against all the popular melee carries, good vs. the tanky lineups that want prolonged fights everyone was running (bristle etc.), good against Doom and Void that were super popular in the groupstages.

Since teams have started adapting with their drafts though, I think he should be back to a situational pick. Plus DP just dumps on him.
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer

People never gave Navi shit for doing push strats. I guess everything that Chinese teams do is boring.


Chinese go split push - "Chinese boring, nerf rat".
Chinese go push - "ugh, push strats, so boring".

There's no pleasing the fanboys


I said earlier i much prefer to see rat. Push is boring for me. I just said an opinion for me, I didnt flame anyone. Your the one whining about it.


Guess it's a lucky coincidence that a guy with Na'Vi tag states " the opinion" how pushing strats are boring after his team loses to one..


Would it make you feel better if I changed my tag to EG then expressed i didnt like push strats?

Obviously everyone should fight in the jungle until 100 kills


Well DK did have a game that ended with 99(TWO MORE KILLS GUYS, I NEEDED TWO MORE KILLS!), but that was probably 'sloppy and boring.' I wasn't browsing the LR thread then.

The only thing that made that game boring was Na'vi not gg'ing when they decided to give up Rax for a Tier 2.

Ulti dependent line-ups can screw up fairly quickly.

It obviously requires poor play, but that's hardly something NB is immune to.

His point operates off of hilarious assumption that those people that think that VG's Pugna line-ups (that are actually hilarious, how teams crumble against them, but that's pugna for ya) are bad are the same that think that whatever else is bad. People are all different and you can't ever please everyone, so deal with it, and desire of certain people (like me) to get some not-real gold here.
