Was the pack that good this year?

How can it be good when game is just getting more random over years?

is this bait?

You can treat it as one. In my book, the more variables there are in game, the more random outcome gets.

what do you even mean by more variables? is this just a dusty "bounty runes and talents are bad for the game" take?

Not "bad", just "random".

Game gets more "random", hence becoming a "good" team gets harder because increase in random factors makes taking proper choices harder.


you're an idiot lol

Makes sense. Most of the team was really tier 2 at max, but they grinded so hard that they found ways to draft around their limitations. Though Faith`bian found a rare level of skill he probably couldn't replicate again.


Huh. I remember them dunking on everyone.

Individual skill wise relative to their competitors, Wings is probably the worst team out of all TI winners which make their run incredibly impressive.

Hoping that OG can be the first team to win TI back to back.

I haven't watched Dota since the last TI, how has the meta change since that?

It changed like 4 times or more. Meta this year has been wild.

And be happy we are not watching drow lineups

OK, I hate to say this, but Miracle tilted.

Three enemy heroes jumped his support and he spent like 2-3 seconds still trying to hit creeps instead of just running the fuck away.

Isn't that typical Miracle- play? When it worked we would call it a highlight.

Not "bad", just "random".


But more variables doesn't mean just more randomness, but a higher skill cap. Rock-paper-scissors is random without many variables. Poker has more variables but is actually less random if I understand it correctly, because high level players can work with the variables while noobs can't.

And how does skill distribution in Poker look, then?


How would I know and how is that relevant? All I'm saying is amount of variables does not equal randomness, those two things can be related but not in a simple and linear way.
