anybody who thinks arteezy is even close to being a goat player is fucking delusional

Check his liquidpedia profile. You'll be surprised how many tournaments he actually won even compared to players like Miracle or Ramzes even. Just get a glimpse.

It is so hard to actually be relevant for a veeeey long time.

What do you guys think about hte quality of this TI versus the others? Feels like more teams have had questionable runs? Or are feeling the pressure?

edit:

This chinese cosplay is fucking insane. They're so good.


A lot of collapses under pressure. Game Quality is lower than last year, but that Secret-Mineski series is a top-10 all time. So, that matters.

Can't count the majors as this current OG's achievement.


When you say that Real Madrid won this and that Champions league titles and are Europe best in that sense , do you only account for today team , in other sports all that matters is the Org ? sure there are individuals that are being remembered but its time for Org`s to get their due as well , i guess in the Dota scene its a bit too young , but in CN for example LGD are a very strong Org and they are the team , they buy and replace players to make the team stronger , maybe OG are not that level in regards to Org comes first , but it will be this way in the future.

Orgs in esports are very different from sports clubs imo. For exemple I don't see any link between current newbee and TI winner newbee.


As i said , its something that evolves with time, picking newbee as an example is not "fair" , look at EG , or LGD , they are big orgs that are bigger then any 1 player they have ,there is a different side as well in Dota , but i would say it will take more time and maybe by the time we have big Org`s (like SCBW) the scene will die as there will be a different big game to take all the new talent away.

Take it from them: when it comes up, every pro player has said again and again that only TI really matters

I'd call OG a great team and back to back champions, but I'd consider GOAT to be the most dominant team for the longest time. OG peaked at TI8 and is peaking again at TI9 but they were shit for periods in between. I'd say Alliance deserves GOAT more than OG at the moment.

Uhm. I'd understand VP/Liquid/Secret. But Alliance?

Alliance's 6 months of dominance are still unparalleled.

Secret pre-TI5 would probably contest. They make all the teams look like absolute garbage back then.

OG when Ana first arrived is also a candidate winning so many major


Pre-TI or Post-TI has no place in this discussion imo. Goat discussion has to be weighted heavily towards TI performances.

Wings then

not because of the dominance but they hold a special place in most dota viewers heart

Yeah, best TI performance. Throwing a game with Pudge Techies in the grand finals, who could afford it except them?

Picking pudge and techies on the same game at the biggest match of their life will always make them the best team ever.

As for the goat conversation, I think Puppey. He’s the best ward bot In the history of DotA.

puppey if secret wins. kuro if liquid wins.


Agreed , but NoTail , does have a case if he wins this TI , he was part of the Major`s team , and a b2b TI is something we might never see again to be honest , the same 5 guys winning 2 TI`s b2b is going to be a hard feat to beat i feel.

imo it wouldn't be enough. his success feels more intertwined with the teams he's been on whereas every team puppey/kuro have been consistent throughout.

They only had pudge in first game of GF. Pudge techies was their 2nd game vs DC in opening round.

if you consider entire dota history you'd have to pick the goat between burning, rotk, puppey and kuro, some dota 1 tournaments were definitely harder than TIs.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

Still manages to win to tournaments tho besides back in the days there was no "majors" the big tournaments count as majors and arteezy won alot of those.

But i guess of course he isn't as good as competitive spikes still tho he is still relevant today so there's that
