What is kind of funny is that OG were playing this kind of deathball style even with iLTW.

Lmao, i kind of feel sorry for staryi_bog now. Dude gave an interview explaining that running safelane wisp like that is subpar because it just means your timing is later and would be punished by a strong team.

Imagine reading it now.

They do, otherwise they would not beg for a comparison with Wings. It's also irrelevant to my point.

OG has strategies, but this patch was short on tactics. I love watching Dota not for mechanical skill that I can’t see unless I watch player perspective. I come to it because I love the combos and hugely coordinated plays.

OG had some of that, but less of it overall. If you’re not an every day kind of player it can be hard to see what they’re doing from a tactical advantage. For example, fountain hooks were incredibly unbalanced but the coordination required was evident just looking at it. Many moment since of these games looked like a murderfest with the kind of hyperactive diving that new players have a bad habit of doing.

I like the OG guys, definitely admire what they pulled off, and don’t want to watch them play Dota again before patches. I hope that feels fair.

Wings probably had the most strategies of any team, but 7.00 is a very different game at the strategic level because all of the talents add multiple timings.

Wings fell off because they couldn't reinvent themselves, and collapsed. Your point is limited by your understanding of strategies.

Yes, they can play many strategies. But if you believe their go-to isn't deathball this TI, you are delusional.

Wings fell of mostly because of Ace and all the bullshit with chinese dota rather than actual dota.

OG never had problems with their org or their entire competitive scene.

What is the definition of deathball in this discussion?

I don't think OG were purely reliant on a 5 v5 fight at all
