I thought Game 1 of Navi was Newbee was not boring at all. I thought it was pretty cool watching Hao poke away at heroes all day. And Dendi doing dendi stuff. I really think Xboct hasn't played really well so far.

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?


It's obvious that you wrote that because the team you favor( doesn't matter which one is it) lost. You had dozen of reason to write how Puppeys draft is awful but instead you felt like you needed to say that push strat that Newbee run is boring.

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

deathballing is the most exciting style of dota after 4p1, lol.
I think their strategy is to dumpster bad Western teams (c) uriel

This is where navi does the exact same thing they did at TI3 to beat Tongfu to Newbee

Time to throw people into the well

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.



I will open you a secret bro: people hate Alliance too. Certain people, not all.



I will open you a secret : Alliance got maybe 2 posts about how Naga Siren is boring when they ran it. DK got like 3 pages of 'Chinese DotA boring' when they played c9 to get into the Winners Bracket.

Okay bro, puppeys draft was bad, Navi didnt play well, they didnt lane properly against it.

But that doesnt change that push strats are boring to watch.

Feel better?

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?

Well, i suppose idea is that he can dominate lane, farm up usual stuff and then go ahead and deathball with rest of the team. Kinda similar to viper. Problem is that for this you need to have deathball-ish line-up in the first place.

But what does dominating the safelane really offer? It's not like he can particularly slow down Tide more than regular carries, especially if you don't ward the ancient.
I'm ok with Razor mid, especially against panda or if Doom is on the other team, but blindly picking him and work out the lane afterwards doesn't seem to be worth it.

i actually find most styles of play interesting. if there's tons of action, great. if there's not, it's usually made up for by being super tense.

Change 2 posts for 20 pages and we have a deal. All Naga games in general get similar amounts of flame, perhaps the only exception could be Navi. us vs IG but that's because that game had core fucking earthshaker that won it.
