How? Because he is the position one of a relevant team that is doing well lately?

I might have heard that somewhere else.

A player having high impact doesn't always make him the best player, I think. He is using the space. Created by his teammates to farm and carry them in the late game.its more like teamwork ,tbh..yeah he is pretty impressive ,but best? Thats wayy more overexxaggeration .

I'd say with the case of Newbee they try to make things happen too much. Hao's risky carry play is borderline idiotic at times.

He's playing the best of anyone at MDL at the moment. But we've gotten to see that because he's bailed his team out of a few bad drafts. But there's still a lot of the tournament left to play, so we'll see.

One of the things you need to win a major LAN is for one of your players to be playing out of his mind. OG won Frankfurt off Crit's play. They could win MDL off Miracle's.

I'm totally on the Miracle hype train, but this wasn't exactly his most flawless game. Yeah the manta jukes were sick, but he died twice unnecessarily (after the rosh fight running up the ramp into sylar and at dire mid t1 when he went in without his team). The second death would've likely lost the game for his team if LGD had taken the chance on the buyback.

You mean Dota is a team game ? I've always thought it was 1 hero, 4 anchors and 5 ennemies.

Chuan has the ability to farm too much as a support at times and it sometimes doesn't match with the aggressive nature of hao that he wants to fight all the time

Like Suma1l was, and now he is getting bashed.

Miracle is a great player, better than many, but being the best in the world in dota is an almost impossible to proof statement if not completely impossible.

I'm a Miracle fanboy but that was hardly the game to showcase his skills. First of all Morphling was an excellent, excellent hero against LGD's lineup and Miracle did not exactly play flawless. There were some interesting things he did but by no means did that game show him in another class of player.

It really depends who's doing the shotcalling. LGD's always had a safe style but rOtk has always been pretty conservative in late game shotcalling.

Why do you think so? Every other sport has the best player in the world and some sort of an award for it, hell, League of Legends has one and so does CSGO, what makes dota so special you cant name one?

I don't know. This showed me that Miracle is one of the best core farming playmakers in the game, he is also one of the best afk ricers in the game. I don't think famed ricers like EE or RTZ could pull that networth off given how behind OG were most of the game.

I think it was FATA or Mutumba that said that "any team with Miracle would have won the Frankfurt major"

His ability to carry and make the teammates around him play to the best of their ability puts him at #1 at this point in time

Whether other sports have something like that does not make it a must for dota, in addition, other sports having them has nothing to do with making an statement possible to proof.

Faker being considered the best player in LoL has to do with the nature and mechanics of the game rather than with decision making and teamwork.

Your turn.

Award is not equals to get called out by few fans/community people. And if there will be such thing as best player award in the future ,it sure will be affected by politics and region influence or it will be influenced by biased audiance if it gets done through voting.

I could also argue that Messi for instance plays a sport where the rules stay the same for decades, I would like to see how would perform if the only valid way to score was with your head.
