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.

You can't be right with personal opinions. And anyone who uses "casuals" in their argument is just a hipster tryhard.

Wow you're actually an idiot. Na'Vi has the biggest fan base of all western teams and probably the biggest fan base of any team. People who watch dota for TI usually only root for Na'Vi it's just natural. I like Na'Vi took pretty much everyone does that's my point if you're too retarded to see my point then I don't know what to say.

So you'll stop talking? Mission accomplished.


I see you alot on the sc2 and dota forums arguing with people. And for all the talk about how you fight idiots trying to spark drama, you start a lot more arguments than others start.

I'm just not very excited for the 5 man deathballs that will inevitably be the entire series. I also hate Newbee with a passion.

VG demolished EG tactically all 3 games. I think rOtk kinda threw game 2 with his terrible dooms pretty much whole game, just doom void = auto win. Also I think sylar should have gotten necrobook when he had tons of gold after getting orchid so that it can scout out the enigma/void better. (both heroes that need to stay hidden to initiate fights) while just pushing as well.

I'm extremely disappointed no DK in finals but DK were very hot and cold.

Anyone else think smoke could use a nerf? The finals is two hyper aggressive, early game, smoke heavy teams. They draft push, use smoke to get a guaranteed kill or two, and then have the space for ez towers.

I've hated the smoke/sentry changes forever. So did Alliance, and I remember an interview where they said they were struggling because control of map vision didn't pay off as much anymore because you could just yolo smoke past good ward control.

Yeah smoke change sucks . It's unstoppable. Sure it allows comebacks which is great for watching but i think it's stupid.

I just want there to be fewer of them in the early game. The supply does not run out fast enough so supports can just yolo past wards.


Are you fucking serious? Smokes promote activity. If you didn't have smoke, supports would sit around doing nothing because it would be impossible to gank. Activity in the game is a good thing.

Of course it promotes activity that's why it's great for watching. And i like it during mid-lategames. It's great it allows comebacks . It's just the early game that it sucks.

Dude the effect is that you can't plan against it as said map control actually doesn't matter with smokes and core heroes has to play hide and seek all the time because of it.


You should look into this game called league of legends. The lanes there are all boring farm fests like you seem to want.

Its kinda trash. I like my action packed dota, but there is almost zero risk to smokes right now. I just want there to be a way to scout it out without having to be within 1000 of the hero.

there's risk to smokes: counterganks, or just plain failure while the other team's smokes work. by their nature, smokes are balanced because teams get an equal amount

except that defenders can't actually do anything against it unless you do the shit that PLD does which is always break smokes. It's zero risk to be honest. Although i like the current smoke since it provides entertaining games.

Why are you getting mad about peoples' opinions?

Yes, that is the case for many people. I'll still watch, but I would have been way more hyped to see an EG, C9 or Navi in the finals. I dislike seeing such new teams in the finals too personally.

I dont get why people complain that the final is going to be boring, because if there is a boring team this TI, it's definitely EG. VG vs Newbee will probably deliver really good games.

Friendly reminder guys:

TI2 finals were 4 stomps in a row with an one hour prolonged death animation in the end.
Ti3 finals were 4 TERRIBLE stomps, and final close game. Just because NaVi made there doesn't make those finals any shitter than they were, don't kid youself.
VG vs NB were the closest playoff series we got, it has high chances to be best Bo5 series of entire year.
I think their strategy is to dumpster bad Western teams (c) uriel

Nah, there is literally no community that has not bitched about the finals or some aspect of the finals (sport teams, esport teams, individual players, individual league titles, you name it)

what sucks is grand finals is the middle of a workday on a monday

True that! Eurgh. Was really thinking of filing a leave.

of course people will whine right after their teams went out. Doesn't matter though, tomorrow will be top notch dota.

Most people are somehow still in the "chinese dota 60 minute farm fest" stereotype, even if vg just won like half their games in less than 20 minutes.


Nah everyone just bitches about 5 man pubtrain no skill push strats.

Listen man they don't even have the same skin colour as I do! Think of all those random people that aren't going to watch the finals. Have you heard about those Chinese dota players I heard that they just kill creeps for ninety minutes no kills.

I think they could have made it a three day event though. I really worry for the viewer count... I dunno, just seeing an 11 million prize pool and only 400k~ watching is a bit underwhelming to me.


If you are going to let viewership dictate how you enjoy the Grand Finals, then don't watch like all the other casuals.
You guys won't be missed.
