sorry, not going to read through 901 pages O.o ! But I played alot of DotA back in the days. What is the difference to HoN ? Also started on LoL. Whats your take on that compared to the other 2 ?
HoN is a very close copy of Dota with interface improvements. LoL is like a completely different game.

ZSMJ is a really solid carry who can farm and lane (remember last smm09 versus KS LOL). ch~, yyf, 2009 are the real stars, 2009 knows how to pick and lane and ch~ and yyf play good support.
Recent showmatches vs KS and AEON were just pure rape ganks exploiting every mistake KS did early on and pulling the lead. yamateh can't carry his team who were being made to look noob.
Oh by the way, while i'm writing this, they just raped mcity. 11 minute monster kill by 2009 and 5 towers down.

Match ID 2012029 for one of the best games I've ever played (meaning I played well, not that it was a great game)
That made me very happy.

Yeah, I usually feel like I play badly, but that game I felt like the biggest boss in the world. A couple mistakes earlygame (like the gank that plague asked for but then he stayed in mid ... ???) but otherwise I had a lot of fun :D

3 games total where I can say I played well against good competition and did what I set out to do. Out of close to 3 to 4 thousand games.

yyf doesnt play support? ganker, pusher both count as support. unless you mean that ehome's entire team doesn't play support because they're all better known as carries
i have only seen zsmj play about a handful of heroes maybe a few more. i'd like to see more from that before i call him the best carry ever to play dota.
a team can only be good as its weakest link. the reason lgd.sgty is so good now is because they've gotten teamplay and many strategies down, not because 3 guys are carrying them to victory. if that was true theyd be dropping more games to ehome, ch, and nv.cn because they also have the talent but not the teamplay. you cant overrate ch~ and Gx
edit:
nevermind, zsmj used to play a lot more different heroes in 6.64, wonder why the change

from what I've seen, yyf plays a lot of gankers/support gankers and occasionally a semi-carry role that focuses exclusively on ganking instead of farming (e.g. storm spirit that leaves his lane after bottle/power treads). I guess you could call him a "support" in a rough sense of the word, where he helps keep pressure off the carry and feeds him kills.
2009 takes on a farming semi-carry like nevermore that gives them a lot of mid-game power in teamfights, and covers for the 4v5 disadvantage due to the permanently-absent rice-farming late hard carry ZSMJ.
Anyways, I just like how coordinated their ganking and teamfighting is. Everything just always goes off with the perfect timing and positioning. The superhero, clutch plays you expect from your typical star players isn't even necessary in their case, because their fundamentals are just so strong. Whenever I go back to watching European matches after a stint of Asian matches, I just see so much messiness and flawedness in their play. I'm also kind of disappointed with the other Asian teams not performing up to snuff with the Chinese, because players like hyhy, yamateh, chuan, sakura, etc. etc. are some of my favourite players ever.

Just dumb mental lapses, I would go 6-0 and then die because I was trying to be too crafty instead of just getting the fuck out. Or games where I am pulling 5:1 cs to time but be completely oblivious to the minimap so I would end up just handing it back or delaying my farm. Rarely do I play a mistake free lane and that irks me more than anything. Not to mention 90% of those games were me playing the game horribly wrong, aka like a pub/scrub.
