hope this series turns out as close as it should be. It's arguably the most equal matchup for today in terms of skill, experience and draft execution.

This always makes me smile because in France having blue blood means being from royal origins.

It can mean the same in English, actually. Probably another thing the English got from France.

Alliance I've always found annoying to watch, but almost everybody is playing "exciting" Dota right now so far as I can tell.

Obviously everyone is very skilled and can pull out some plays or be aggressive but everything has a backing of "we know we have the upper hand here" (or the failure of assessing that and then throwing)

EHOME won off near primitive micro-based dota, they just outmaneuver you in the fights and pull out stuff the other team didn't think could happen. The game was more fun to watch when that kind of playstyle was possible everywhere since teams weren't that good at strategy and relied on their skill, nowadays it's super rare to see even a single series of someone dominating in this fashion. EHOME themselves didn't even play like this or at this level in the groups tbh, they like to win off picks a lot

what? how is MVP not literally the most primitive team in dota right now?

The point is that MVP.P wins off of pure micro-based outplay. And pretty much only that.

i mean, but "primitive" is such as silly way of describing them, or Ehome, or any of the good teams.

Can't really compare initiating slardar and actually right clicking slardar with a wisp. I've found all top offlaner's slardars more or less the same though.

Well, their approach only works because they can draft heroes that can re-engage. They're very good at abusing Cool-down based drafts. But they have to be operating at utterly top-tier of their ability, if they don't, they're well down into tier 2 in other approaches.
