Since there's so much support for Azarkon, I feel like I need to say: I'm so, so glad he's gone.

How do teams get SD + ET? Both are super tier supports and work good together if you want defensive supports until later on.

Sounds like the audience love EHOME

I mean they're the only team in the main event who played actual dota rather than super calculated boring "strats"

EHOME with these lineups and this all-in no fear playstyle reminding me of pre-TI4 DK when they were running the "snipe from 3000 range" combos. dat lanm/iceiceice influence showing through

Wings and MVP aren't playing "actual Dota"?

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?


what? how is the adjective primitive literally at all applicable to any successful dota team right now?

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


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.

I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times - Bruce Lee And it's rather true in dota.
"Back then teams that won were credited, now it's called throw. I think it's sad." - Kuroky - Flap Flap Wings!

Oh, no, we're all very happy he's gone.

We just want to rub it in his face when all his predictions fail.

His parents and/or Charlie probably trust-funded all of it.
