Even at Blizzcon qualifiers they were trying out Thrall and Rexxar and it didn't work at all. Not saying that it won't work now since Thrall is in much better place, but still their drafts really do seem random. | ||

With Uther they would have a divine shield for ETC, Sonya and Thrall (and additional stun for even more lockdown). They take Malfurion instead and still conjurer's pursuit on Jaina. Maybe I'm just way too scrub to understand it. | ||

As for the conjurer on Jaina, seems like pros currently blindly go for one build, so they can train with a larger hero pool. One reason why Valla is almost extinct. | ||

One reason why Valla is almost extinct. Uh where did you get this from? I've seen a lot of different Jaina's builds lately in the pro scene. From that Frostbolt spam, to the standard build and hybrid between frostbolt and standard. It is just that people are still people, they make errors and often make oversights. Also, Valla is not extinct at all, it is just that Falstad is currently doing the same thing while also having massive disengage heroic that can save your whole team if used correctly at the right time. I was really bored with the Dreamhack and hero pool that we saw being used there, but at least these NA qualifiers gave me some hope that patch still isn't figured out yet. We are waiting too long for some Korean tournament.  | ||

Its not everyone, but its annoying to see it being so widespread lately. Of course that is personal opinion I like playing the right talents, not the ones I feel good with. And those guys train together, so switching it up just because the enemy composition went other then planned, might ruin their coordination. | ||

Most of the picks were fairly vanilla in that the same 10-15 heroes were constantly picked and banned. I didn't watch the entire thing but it certainly felt like the Falstad show towards the end. Also, it turned out Tyrael's reign was short lived, which isn't that surprising. Teams just had to retrain their instincts to back off after hard engaging rather than sticking it out until the bitter end. Which is something they've already shown they can do with mistimed Divine Palms (it's funny watching a palmed hero rushing headlong into the enemy team trying to get a proc). | ||

Not just towards the end, I am pretty sure that Falstad was banned/picked in every match lol. | ||

Edit: Actually here's an infographic, doesn't have Falstad anywhere! http://www.g2esports.com/dreamhack-all-stars-winter-infographic/ I did see another one that had Tyrael as bottom-3 win-rate too. | ||

Yeah lol, he has been top 3 pick, almost in 100% of the games in one way or another. :D | ||

For instance, Koreans were doing ETC and Santification Tyreal long before it caught on in NA/EU. NA and EU tend to get stale after the meta settles and stick to fairly limited Hero pools and strategies. Also, I just think the Koreans play very aggressively, and that makes them very interesting to watch. | ||
