My MVP for game 1: Misaya.

He's no PhantomL0rd but his Karth worked.

LOL. IMO The best player on SK is either Nymph or Candy.

Wickd is the worst, 100%, he's lost them so many games. >_> Ocelote is a douchebag and basically got Wetdream kicked from the team (even if Wetdream being a jerk certaintly didn't help his case).

Ocelote is okay, but he's nothing compared to some of the AP players out there. You want a good AP player, go watch Crs NYJacky play Veigar or ReginaId who is so versitale and the best captain in the game, or lol, scarra and his Kat.

So... MVP for Semifinals A, Game 1?

Who's your pick?

I would pick that Karthus. Tanky and its him who win the fight to WE at the mid lane bushes where the whole Eh stay in his AOE while only Akali rush in to 1v3 WE


I would have to agree on the Karthus. It seems like the other players didn't really stand out too much. Maybe that's a good thing since it means the whole team is solid rather than 1 or 2 players carrying.

Probably an honorable mention to WW since he did get that baron steal.

Ironically, don't people consider CN's DotA very meticulous but boring? Seems like CN LoL is pretty action packed.


There are some CN teams that like to run aggressive strats, but the top teams are notorious for having incredibly good farmers and carry players. As a result you have teams like EHOME who farm for 50 minutes and just roll over you. Think of them like old CLG, where they play incredibly safe, farm forever, and just win through beter mechanics.


Yeah, the farming issue is what I hear a lot about. But just mechanically solid => not many kills per game => "boring" to watch.



Oh, there are usually lots of kills every game. I actually don't know where that stereotype came from D: In an equal-length game, you can usually expect about the same number of kills in a DoTA game as you do in LoL.

EDIT: Early game has a lot less "mistakes" though, so the teamfights and ganks are stacked toward mid-endgame.


Actually, its due to EHOME's dota team, they basically figured out how to defend the high ground indefinately, with multiple buybacks so teams literally could not attack the tower unless they kill the other team twice, it dragged the game out, even though kills stacked up. This led to the buyback timer that icefrog introduced to counter the pure defense strat, it also lead to the popularity of lone druid as the main carry (20 min radiance, 22 min phase boots, 30 min hyperstone/assault cuirass => endless tower pushing with 0 chance to die since you are using your bear)_

Nyph+CandyPanda are amazing because of the synergy between them. They've played together so much. Candy even said that if Nyph left SK, he'd leave too.

I'd agree. The Nyph-Candy lane is no doubt SK's greatest strength. I have very rarely seen that duo got outplayed / lost their lane.

But lately i've really been liking Snoopeh's ganks and initiations. I feel like he is really clutch and does well when it counts. ( Plus he always save ocelote when he is losing mid with very nice ganks)

Why are you guys so defensive about me talking Dignitas down? I'm just hyped because I've never seen such back and forth action in any NA/EU pro-matches and none with that degree of teamfight control.

Seconded.

Oce is a good AP player. He just looks better than he really is because he plays a carry role and secures kills. (imo)

Mechanically, doing everything needed and necessary with his champion's kit, Nyph makes his supports shine.

China offers good competition, but it's hard to use Dignitas as the benchmark or to proclaim that China will beat the world. Both teams had some pretty bad mistakes. Perhaps in the future though!

You need to watch RS more often then It's also because your statement implied that they'd lose to these Chinese teams, which you can argue about for however long you like, but it hasn't happened yet. If you had left out the first part about dissing RS, no one would contest your statement.

Snoopeh was a good addition for SK. But he's no Jatt/SaintV/TOO. It's a problem with a lot of EU Teams. There's no real superstar jungler. They're all good, but nothing amazing.

Not defensive. You just made a stupid comment and some of us are replying towards that.

From one game, you're declaring that one of the premiere NA teams can't stand on equal ground with Ehome/WEGIGA.

what?

Edit: what DNA said is also correct. It's questionable whether or not Dignitas is the "best" NA team atm. But they are definitely the cleanest. Out of their recent tourney matches, they rarely make drastic mistakes.

This last game, there were plenty of mistakes made. Though it did contribute to the back and forth tempo, which made it fun to watch.

Dignitas fanboy ^_^ While the aggressive style is more fun to watch it also caused quite a few mistakes that cost ehome the game (the early invasion where they threw advantage away and then losing baron).

gonna have to agree. wickd just isn't mature enough, and tends to buckle under any form of pressure.

oce has improved a lot lately, and his attitude has gotten so much better. i think he finally realised after the wetdream fiasco that he needs to mature and act a bit more professional if they want esports and LoL to work.

I would say you're stubborn like SKT Fanbois.

But everyone knows that CLG Fanbois are the equivalent of SKT Fanbois~

Eh, no. "good" is an overstatement imo, haha. I don't feel like SK's jungle presence has changed any since picking up Snoopeh.

Honestly, after watching RS stream their scrims vs TSM and CLG every day for the past 2 or 3 weeks, AND pretty much man handle them with every set up (except dual support), I don't see RS losing to these guys in very many team fights. I agree with you that these games between the Chinese teams are great simply because I haven't seem them play yet.

Though I will say that I think Dignitas would have most likely taken this tournament without a whole lot of difficulty.
