Extremes:

- Objective-Based (OG style, when they don't go full illusion DotA) - team plays to take down objectives safely, not give opponent an opening.
VP kind of combines these - they go straight for the objectives, but with a fighting lineup that basically invites the other team to fight them.
- Split-push - play around the other team, stay equal on objectives, build for lategame either with better scaling (or illusions, hi OG)
- Focused push (e.g. Liquid's Broodmother strat) where a team focuses their entire strategy on breaking in fast
- Been a while, but we still see 4P1 occasionally, too.
CIS and SEA are the "most fun" in a single game, but I love the variety. Imho the most enjoyable team to watch (besides the real Alliance, of course) were TI5/6 MVP Phoenix, jeez what a team <3
TI5/6 Phoenix was a great team to watch. All the balls in the world.

This is not DotA, this is pathetic. That was hardly a disgusting draft by liquid, it was their typical kotol first aghs day push timing that went wrong in early game so they resorted to ratting it. Now Brood+Veno+Huskar/Dazzle is brrrr So let's say it's not the draft but the strategy they resorted to after losing early so badly.

This is not DotA, this is pathetic. Huh? Lots of people are saying "cancer cured" or whatever. Lot is not enough, should be everybody. There is nothing cancerous about ratting. Hell, if not for ratting this game would be pretty boring. Now try and find fun in match with Brood+Huskar+Dazzle. I don't have any problem with ratting being a part of the game overall, but this risk-free Agha bear strategy is far beyond what should be allowed in this game (imo). Any other hero than sniper (that wouldn't have been able to chip the last tower) and the game can last 80 min. Actually a better in-your-face mid and game ends even quicker in LFY's favor. i don't know about that, sniper was very difficult to punish because he was positioned so well. the hero pulled off the early, mid and late game well. he kinda shit the bed late game tbh
yathink so? he did what was needed, and can deal with the spellspam while still sieging from a safe place

Yeah. I miss Korean Murder-you doto.

I feel it's not that interesting because it's 1 dimensional.

i thought his TP after he used buyback and his positioning thereafter in that last fight was really poor.

C9 is truly the most multidimensional DotA in the world.
What's gonna happen next?
I don't know.
The opponents don't know.
Not sure if C9 ever knows.

liquid always drafts gimmicky stuff... and i think they're pretty satisfied with top3 already (i mean, thats like 2.6kk already lol), they're laughing and enjoying the moment as opposed to being very nervous and anxious

I think they're also being relaxed because if they start to tense up, that's when mistakes happen.
