Please stop the caster bashing. You can disagree with them and post about it but posts that only serve to bash casters senselessly will be actioned.

Sigh why did C9 attempt lvl 1 rosh.

Probably because they know they need a clowny early advantage to take on a team like VG, can't beat them with standard play.

Are you one of those who whine about cheese in SC2 related discussions? Newbee did a level 1 Rosh against Titan, by your logic they did it because they knew they couldn't win against Titan otherwise.

Complaining about non-standard play is one the most stupid and annoying things in SC2 discussions. I wish people would leave it behind before coming here and won't poison this place as well.

Never watched starcraft and no, I'm just complaining about people calling "C9 went full retard" when their ALL-IN strats don't work but GENIUS when they work. They consistently go for All-In Risky strats, at a point which I consider that they don't want to play "standard dota" against these Chinese powerhouses for a reason.


Meepo and BH isn't an "all in" strat like you said earlier though, you're making it sound way fucking worse than it actually is. They've played Meepo and BH support enough for it not to be "weird".

EG will probably need to do the same next game. Some #4 Ursa jungle pocket strat

have you seen game 2? or the round robin game? let's be honest, ur a hater

you mean support BH and Meepo? If that's not "do weird stuff to throw them off" idk what is.
Just because it worked there it doesn't mean that if it went wrong people wouldn't be calling "going full retard" on that.

I actually wanted C9 to win vs VG btw, same as EG now.

it's not weird and it's really solid. very early ganking is the most legit way to deal with dumb 12 min rax pushes. just because it's different and nobody else does it doesn't make it weird or even a gamble. yes, it's much harder to execute than farm 10 minutes into 5 man down mid but it its legit. it worked twice vs VG and once vs Navi. just like the drow visage strat, it may seem weird cuz people dont pick drow since it's considered too much of a risk.

Oh my god, this EG lineup.

How are they planning on dragging the game on until 60 minutes with this lineup? They have no waveclear.

In terms of individual play has Sylar been the best player this TI?


Sylar has always been solid but he's been playing pretty amazingly this tourney.




Sylar is the best 1 position player today outside of maybe Burning.

I keep telling you to stop ratting in real life -_-


You see I took points out of all fighting skills and put points into Acrobatics / Swim / Stealth


You need more points in demolition to be a true rat.


But thats not a skill

PLS EG YOU ARE THE ONLY HOPE FROM STOPPING CHINESE FROM DOMINATING THE SCENE

seriously soon this will look like Lol and Starcraft .. only koreans ruling and the competition around the world is not even close. I love the global feeling that dota 2 gives. Please don't fuck this up. I don't wanna watch TI4 grand finals that will look like a chinese tournament finals.

ROFL. This is like the chants of "need Brasil in the World Cup finals because it's in Brasil". Just no, I'm here for the best Dota, if I want to watch some regional shit there are tons of events to choose from. This is the World Cup, one event chosen to test all the styles. With double elimination the best prevail and the best is all I care about.

Now please finish quick, VG, I need to go to work and repeat that shit tomorrow. Shitty Euro time ;(

I also want the best. And can't do a shit about it if it's VG. I even thought newbee was gonna win. Good thing they are in the grand finals but please. I really love the global feeling of the scene.

To be honest i really don't want dota 2 scene to become chinese>everyone. It will kill the thrill if ever a chinese faces a EU or NA or SEA team i don't want it to turn out. "Oh so chinese is facing a EU/NA/SEA time to do something else, they are gonna lose anyways." . If VG wins today. Then well deserved (i think newbee wins anyways).


Why is it that you think this will happen? The dota2 scene has NEVER been anywhere near the sc2 and there is no sign that it would turn out that way. Stop being so narrowminded.

No, but the dota 1 scene has. If you're worried about china > everything there's lots of valid reasons for concern.

I think C9 could have dealt with VG's style easily. Sucks for them that EE decided to throw their game away in the end.
