I have never seen an ES lose with 12 min blink pickup, offlane or not. This hero is a greedy early game hero but the strongest aoe initiator in dota.

Can we go back to the days where everybody agreed that Bloodseeker is a dumpster tier hero? That would be nice.


On that theory maybe Newbee winning with Bloodseeker and Axe was less secret saved strats and more showing off?

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.

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


Yep. CN was the same way in TI2 also. Navi vs IG was micro and chaos. It just looked like CN had afk farmed and focused on economy because the Western teams havent really developed in that aspect yet at that time. Pretty much all the strongest Western teams we have so far are macro based.

Trading a Puck for CM was actually worth it for LFY. They got more out of that than Liquid. The TB was stupid though
