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. |

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. Lol it's like you are the one who wants to turn dota into league.

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. Exactly. Action is good, but you can get that from drafts and item pick-ups. 100 gold is just way to cheap for what the item does. Either give it another way to be scouted out, or buff the cost.

cuz of how SC2 has turned into. Pure Koreans for finals every tournament is boring as hell.
Just the thought of it happening in DotA 2 with pure Chinese teams all the time is not a good thought.

What does the preshow tomorrow consist of? I need to decide if I want to get up at 2am to watch it or just sleep til 5am for the grand finals.

those last closing words pretty much sum up the hype of the grand finals. no one could say anything except "yep...i sure am excited for those finals lol...wonder who will get the aegis"
Like, this isn't the worst matchup for the grand finals but it has neither good story nor flashy teams.
Only semblance of a story I can put together is that VG a bit of an underdog to make it to grand finals. And rOtk is someone who gives personality to the team.
Newbee is literally just a slightly better tongfu, rebanding in time for TI to get a chunk of the prize money. xiao8 jumped off that lgd boat to get his fingers wet in the money as well

LoL, dota hipster sighted. "Na'Vi is to main stream for me. Casuals cheer for them and EG. True dota fans love china." 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. can you shut up actually im pretty sure you're being the instigator here
Yeah I would second this.
I'm not sure exactly where the salt came from but you're the one being the ass.
He's absolutely correct. For some reason you've read "casual players like navi" and translated it to "all navi fans are casuals ahahahahahahah navi fans suck wooo go china" and then gone on a rant. This is on you.

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.
If you want all casuals to leave, Dota 2 pro scene will be gone in a couple months.

So many so fucking salty on china vs china.

And anyone who uses "casuals" in their argument is just a hipster tryhard.
What the fuck is a "hipster casual"
And why are you guys even arguing with him.

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. At this point I dont think that stereotype is ever going away, since all it needs is just one 60 min game every few months and people will still believe in the stereotype.

finals are anticlimactic now, two chinese teams, neither of which are fan favorites exactly
i highly doubt that vici will win a bo5 doing the same shit that they've been doing (which is literally only one fucking thing) I really feel like EG should have beat that. It's definitely hard to draft against, I'll agree
I was really hoping newbee won't win this TI. xiao8 disbanded lgd just to get in on some of this easy ti money. and not to mention the whole controversy with them boycotting DK. Literally the WORST team, even worse than iG. Like I said before, ESPN will never take a risk of airing any esports again because all the "teens" that would be watching the final anyway, like some other poster stated, will be watching from their computers. A lot of the likeable teams with a storyline are out  Really sad about EG being out. Wish Alliance would have been in as well to add some chance of a western team in the final 
OHOHOHOH YES YES THIS !!!
the prophecy of west = foreginers is going full
in SC2 : Koreans has no personality no fun but they win and win and win and win and win and personality or background story cant save foreigners
and now this tasty tear of "no team with background story" rise again TO THE WEST WE MARCH !!! Personality or background story we kill, money we take !!!

I think we can find a middle ground where people can have slightly safer lanes lanes. Or just have smoke on a slightly longer timer so people can know "Ok, that smoke gank failed and I am safe for BLANK" amount of time.

I think a lot of ppl will still watch the finals but there won't be much hype. Like when universe got those insane chrono's I was going nuts, but if some player on VG or Newbee do the same thing tomorrow it will just be meh. Both teams are aggro and hopefully Newbee wont concede every tower and then try to fight like EG did so it should be a close series.
