TSM cannot do anything in team fights but the early tower kills let them keep inhibs down constantly.

This game so strange to me.

TSM takes all 3 inhibs, but is weaker in 5v5s. They need to make use of these inhibs being down as soon as team revivies or they will just lose even worse in the next few fights.

Baron so overrated. I think if M5 would've just pushed mid it would've made it a lot harder for TSM to go back door like that and M5 would've gotten at least one, probably two, towers out of it. Maybe even a TSM inhib.


Maybe, but with two inhibitors down M5 can freefarm without having to worry about losing Baron. This late in the game the value of lane creeps has so far outpaced that of the jungle that even if TSM has free reign over both jungles they'll still be falling behind on gold.

Edit: This is one of the major differences between LoL and DotA. When DotA's equivalent to inhibitors go down the value of the creeps in that lane is cut by 50%. While it's technically easier to farm since the waves are always pushing, in the end you don't gain anything because the creeps are worth less.

It's kinda funny to remember that the first time these two teams met in a tourney, all the games ended in only a little more than 20 minutes.

Your analogy is so flawed it's not even funny. Shooting 3 pointers is like working on your mechanics. Playing 1v1 is like 1 on 1 in basketball.

K I guess numbers knows better than Na'vi's DotA team and Chinese DotA and LoL teams.


Chinese people don't know how to play basketball. I'm not saying 1v1 is bad but 1v1 is not like shooting 3 pointers.


Strawmanning his example, while not perfect, doesn't change the fact that it still aptly displays the idea that drilling is an effective training tool in every practice of life(he chose sport, but you could pretty much choose any endeavor that involves a 'skill' which can be isolated from the activity as a whole).

Also, if he wanted to be really snarky about it he could just say that nowhere in his example did he mention whether his 3 point shooting drill included a defender or not, which would then make it a constant repetition drill of getting your shot off vs a defender attempting to force you into a worse shot.

I eagerly await your next edited post.


U seem like you got your ego bruised or something.



Of course it's not 100% indicative of a real game. Nobody is stupid enough to think that.

Have you played any competitive sport? Drilling WORKS. EVERY sport has practice regimens centered around simple drills that train specific aspects of play. Isolating practice points around specific aspects of the game lets you focus on problems related to that aspect of the game, and do so in a time-efficient manner because drills let you practice those techniques 10 times more quickly than playing complete games. You don't work on your 3-pointers in Basketball just by playing pickup games and hoping to see scenarios that are relevant. You drill your 3-pointer over and over until you've mastered the drill, THEN you adapt it to a real game. Shooting 3-pointers with nobody blocking you is obviously not 100% indicative of a real game, but it's important to hone down the simple scenario first, and adapt it to a real game.


Also drilling is better for training mechanics. 1v1'ing, sure it helps, but will never be as good as actually playing the game. In a 1v1 environment so many factors are excluded, that are included in a real game, and you can play in a way where you are not punished.

I've never played dota so I don't care about dota chinese teams or any of that crap. 1v1'ing helps, the best players in the game are the best 1v1ers. In the beginning, I was more inclined towards it not helping, but it helps in a way where you're just gaining experience quickly over playing drawn out games. It's not good for drilling.
