I feel like I'm in the minority seeing different strategies played/be viable. It's great, imo, that you have a scale of ideas that can work:

Extremes:

- All-Fighting (stereotypical for SEA) - treats DotA almost as a fighting game, objectives get taken on the basis of fights.
- 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.

Koreans had the most entertaining dota in the world.

No, Wings was better to watch.

Ah right Wings. I think they share first place.

Not at TI6 unfortunately.

lol ok buddy xd

You never know what happens in a match of DotA, but I think I'll agree. I feel like TI-quality teams are smart enough to not go for random/stupid items just for these types of combos.

LFY are fun as well , the days of AFK farming is mostly over in CN , actually the west i feel is liking the "dodge" strats better these days

This was the trend since TI3. Western always relied on macro and using the map better, while CN micro and teamfight better
