Now I understand the term 'caveman dota', these are some sloppy plays.

i hate the RANDOM ass respawn timer on Roshan from it's 10 minute interval, it's still the only change I hate the fact that icefrog has made. you know DotA Allstars always showed a global message: Roshan has respawned the thing is i don't necessarily know if i liked what it accomplisbhed. the team with the lead will still control roshan over the team that doesn't and has to play blind. if roshan spawned in a fixed interval, teams would actually be contest it more whereas the current random roshan favors dire advantage (because of the frequency in which you can check the pit) and heroes with vision (beastmater, clock, chen/ench and invoker) more. it's harder regardless for radiant to control that side of the map, no matter what but honestly I could see myself being wrong here.
it was to balance the fact that radiant was stronger than dire by a statistically significant percentage

holy shit, i just realized next series is MVP vs WINGS!!! HYPE, hoping for a techies/pudge/meepo/warlock war Incoming 2 games of QO's Naga into Wings 2-0 MVP in 2 30 minute games. Well, QO probably would play naga with a dagger and desolator, so i'd take it Unfortunately even QO can't turn Naga into a fighter. MVP should never play with Naga ever. It's just a trap because it plays away from what the team is best with (and yes I know MVP won Naga games)
It might have been a smart plan out of MVP to get QO to spam the hell out of Naga in pubs, so teams spend a ban on it but MVP don't even pull it out often or have it as a strong strategy.

Come on Newbee, give EU a Shanghai tier humiliation. We need that sort of wakeup call right now.

I hate how kuroky still hasn't learned that tombstone's health got nerfed... you can't ever put it in front like that anymore
almost 100% free gold

Damn Newbee early game is so weak this TI

You forget Wings.
These are the sort of guys who may just wreck EG in the final with first pick bloodseeker sending PPD into BSOD. i don't believe in wings after their groups and EG has improved to the point where they're just beyond what they showed in starladder with picking stupid shit and drafts. i mean personally, i'd like it if eg didn't win but this isn't the same eg that crumbled against FRIENDS. honestly the EG sandbagging or creating a narrative "chip on their shoulders" theory is really making a lot of sense now. This is basically the same team as last year with an upgrade at the 4 To be honest, none of same EG players have shown same level of play they had at TI5 until match with Newbee. Zai is a fucking god, though. It doesn't matter, this TI is just so sloppy in general. The games look wild and some are even exciting but these teams are fucking up a lot, and every team made some baffling errors. I feel ALMOST sure that EHome is stronger than Wings and I'm still not sure if MVP is coin flipping their way to victory. the meta is such a way now that perfect TI3 style Alliance play is not possible Here's a secret for people with the rose-tinted glasses. The larger the skill gap between teams, the better the winning team looks. Alliance around TI3 looked "perfect" because they had a clean, methodical, efficient style that 14/15 other teams had no idea how to deal with, which let them do everything they wanted to do. These days the skill level of the previous "dumpster" teams has risen immensely, and there is so competitive exposure to each team, that teams have to be far more adaptable and versatile than Alliance was. TI5 CDEC disprove your statement. Okay, should probably clarify "across an entire season". There are still plenty of one-tournament wonders that can dominate within a week and across 20ish games. But a team like Alliance that played the same style, more or less, across months all the way to TI and still dominate will likely never happen again. Secret pre-TI5
And then got crushed in TI5 because they didn't move with the meta.
Which was my point...

They got crushed in TI5 because they fell apart in TI5, not because they didn't keep up with meta.

They did not throw last gme, they lost because of the draft and newbee's execution.

I think Newbee hurt their brains between games
