Seriously guys, is not at this point Razor is one of the lowest WRs for a hero with amount of picks that high?


http://dotabuff.com/esports/events/2/picks yep

yeah but razor wins roughly 1 of every two games(42% WR)
so now there's a high chance that na'vi will win

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.


What you say doesn't even qualify as a counter example. His point still stands.

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.



Said same people will say that Western teams are so good for doing the same exact thing. That's what I mean by underlying racism. It doesn't matter what the Chinese teams do, they can run literally every single style this tournament (which they've had, they have shown far more versatility then the Western teams have who've really stuck to their guns on Razor/Void/Tide/WK), and a plethora of heroes, but they will always be called boring on these forums for whatever reason by the same group of people. That's not saying 'that style of play is boring,' that's borderline racism at this point. You can't even justify it as fanboyism because the Asian teams all have vastly different playstyles (VG playing a much more timing oriented style of play with a strong late game anchor, DK with their multi-core extended laning phases, iG with their face rush midgame oriented styles with Luo, etc.)

Citation needed. Not to mention that stuff you mention in most cases is either not ran by western teams (pugna), is just as flamed as by eastern ones (boring naga games), or actually receives praise by both primarily (xin going to town).

Alliance played Pugna often and Cloud9 were outraged sometimes.
I think their strategy is to dumpster bad Western teams (c) uriel

VG said that they (as #1 seed) got to choose side over everyone else. So I assume NaVi chose radiant cause they got the higher seed.

Welp, remembered Alliance's pugna games. They usually ended so quick, nobody was ready to figure out what the fuck happened to complain about it, not to mention that they either were over at laning stage (nobody to blame, eh?) or were lost. Also, under "Citation needed" i meant the direct quote of same user supporting X by his favorite team and saying that X by opponent's team was boring/lame/we

Na'Vi must have picked radiant.

Seems weird to me that NB would not take SS in the first phase when they are on Dire.

The fact is that most white people can't relate to Chinese players, so they simply aren't fans of many Chinese teams - and that's perfectly okay. But because most people don't value intellectual honesty, they'll twist their minds trying to find another reason why they're upset when Chinese teams win.

I think Newbee could have picked morph and raped NaVi, but ta + weaver will do the trick i guess.
