Might be more bothered later on when it has time to sink in. With the artifact thing it sounds like a dota break for a while. Though most players take their yearly vacation after TI. | ||

And when they give him pango, the team drafts no carries to go along. Right from the drafts Mineski have loss the game. Basically they paid too much attention to the meta and not play to their strengths. Yeah 71 really put them in some bad situations drafting this tournament. If you look at their play when they were behind, they were able to coordinate and put up fights when they were behind in games. It makes you wonder how they would have done if they ever won an early game... Iceiceice was pretty disappointing this tournament, along with Jabz. The others played fine, but I think they have to say goodbye to 71 after this at the very least. | ||

Starting from Gaben announcer pack + short Gaben clips that were hilarious, to EG doing nice PR and giving away RTZ jerseys to the father and his son that plays DotA2 and other memes. | ||

There was almost absence of Death Prophet in this TI8 which was fully played by Easterner well previously. And PL too. So the ultimate aegis winner goes to.... VALVE... Yeah... ye i agree the game should be balanced around a region's comfort picks | ||

Just lol, this has to be one of the most ridiculous comments that I've seen. Adapting to the game, meta and picks is a huge part of the competitive scene, if you can't adapt then you are out, it is simple as that. Whining how this TI isn't "fair" because picks don't suit eastern teams is just hilarious. Death Prophet was also very well played by other teams as well, PL is very popular pick right now, you don't even have arguments, you are whining just for the sake of whining(or because your team lost which might be the case). Half these teams aren't even prepared for the meta because they didn't have a tournament before TI to practice it, you see them forcing some strategies and picks that are in the meta at the moment, and that just doesn't suit their playstyle and not doing well with them, you can't blame anyone but those teams. | ||

Ya, DAC was dominated by Easterner and rendered urge to nerf DP, which was well-played by easterner. Easterners are very well in the playstyle of small group catch and hunt, but westerner are good in teamfight. If one wanna counter this, we need to nerf DP (2 heroes cant really hunt DP, but in teamfight 5v5 DP is rather slow in damage output, he is kind of slow sustained hero), and by the same time "upgrade" VS, which is perfectly abused hero by western team. | ||
