the xcn vs mym game is insaaaane, xcn raped early mid game but fear's farming is lightofheaven like. I don't understand why Ks lost to some swedish team but wins vs xcn.

Also, at the start of the game I see people getting wards and placing them in opponent's neutral spawn points so creeps dont spawn there, whats the point of that?

It is possible that the opposing team has a jungler (cent, terrorblade, broodmother, furion, sylla, etc) and they want to prevent them from jungling, forcing them to lane where they will have less money/work harder for the same amount of money/exp. It also prevents the opposing team from having 2 solo's, giving them more exp. Last reason is that it lets your lane know when opposing heroes are coming to gank you from the forest.

A lotta stuff happening lately, SPG with Zhaoyun carrying BB raping MYM, forcing them to the loser's bracket. Afterwards MYM adopts the BB + SP strat in EMS, Fear's crazy farming skillz leads MYM to come back from a ridiculous early and mid game deficit vs xcn. However when MYM later faced KS in Pride's losers bracket, KS picked brilliantly and yamatech's obsidian destroyers intel dps damage + hex owned bb, going 23-5 or something and knocking MYM out.

One thing that I thought was sorta bm but I'm not sure about is when KS had just destroyed top's raxes, yamatech typed "gg" first before any of the mym players had done so. In bw that's considered ultra mega bm, in Dota is it the same or when you have two sides raxed like that and havent touched opponent's inner towers it's like obvious the losing side has lost and it doesn't matter who types gg?

What are you guys' thoughts on the recent games

I stopped following the scene, but typing GG before the opponent does is disrespectful IMO.
Especially since there are such things as comes backs. One example, although shouldn't have happened, was Rus vs Can Prime Nations where Rus came back with what, 5 down raxes? =3

Can you link me to that replay if you can find it? That sounds sick.

Also, KS was stealing wards all game with crow, is that considered underhanded or part of gameplay.

Typing GG before your opponent is, and have always been bad-mannered in every single game. DotA, obviously is no exception.

KS is bad mannered, I thought we went through this already. They also suck and are inconsistent.

Ward stealing is part of gameplay I guess.

BB + QoP = overrated.

Well, Puck is auto-banned in .48b, and it's still the stable map...you could get some Puck replays from Dota-League's Pick League Division 1, where .49c is used, and therefore Puck not being auto-banned. But all the replays I've seen of the poor lil' dragon, he pretty much got dominated. And I'm sure I saw a good Sylla rep recommendation somewhere, if only I could dig it up...

I am afraid of what would happen if I gave zulu the info to the IHCS vent.

Not cuz of what you'd do, your head would probably explode. Mine did too the first time. So many good players in one vent together.

Edit: Random screenshot taken when I posted this, also included Travka, Goblin, etc.
