equal longest streak of all time in pro dota? i'm not sure

I guess most of the streak will be looked down upon by the fans of "better" teams.

i'm a newbee fan but owning china is different from owning everybody outside china .. so far they've only won literally 1 series against a nonchinese

yeah but some of the chinese teams they beat have won western tourneys etc too

so transitive property etc right

haha i kid i know it's not so legit

but they're a good team

NB has so much healing that not sure if Tinker's high ground defense even is good this game. And nodiggity don't have a lineup that is that good at actually fighting next to their base, their heroes are made for pickoffs.

Don't take it to heart, I just pointed out that opteron could be happy about it where other may claim that streak means nothing. I was just adding perspective.

The way this strategy works is that you want to win in the middle game and one of the best hero against that is on the other team. Newbee's strategy has a problem with late game when any of their support can die in one second.

Because of BM vision and Tinker high ground defense, also Naix counters BB. There is a slight draft advantage if DiG can play the game they drafted for. But like I said, they are too low skilled compared to NB for that to even have any significance.


i don't agree at all that naix counters bristle

naix is susceptible to physical damage and bristle is all physical (and likewise jug is a soft counter for naix, since he has no way to protect himself from omni other htan infest)

dotabuff lists bristle as having a 1% matchup advantage vs naix, relative to their overall winrates

edit: bat is also a naix and tinker counter

Сhina - 7k, West - 4k.

Can't wait seeing Newbee mopping the floor with Secret and EG.
I think their strategy is to dumpster bad Western teams (c) uriel

By that token, you can just kill the tinker and there won't be any march.

Naix is vulnerable to quick physical damage like jugg omnislash, but not slow dmg from bristle. So its quite the opposite of what you said.

Yes, but DiG can also setup Naix traps with Tinker and the others behind them, bait Bat and potential wisp relocates. But as I've been saying DiG are too low skilled.

DG's lineup is supposed to be able to compete with Newbee's at any point of the game, but they let Newbee took over the entire map. I doubt they can stop the brute force of Newbee now

i think people really underestimate how strong the jug-bristle-wisp trio is. i've never seen mvp lose with it
