They have XP and Gold graph tabs..

I guess because of the sound issues they aren't showing them that much since explaining how far ahead exactly a team is on one count could potentially give quite a bit away if one of the teams overhears.

Normally Tobi uses them quite a bit so I'm presuming he has a reason not to be doing so at least.

Again... an immortal sentry all in >_<... so stupid and boring

Can't fault the players for exploiting game design in an attempt to win.

Not really exploiting game design... its exploiting Stephano's style.

Ling infestor smashes the shit out of sentry immortal all in... Sentry immortal just hard counters Stephano's max roach pushes.


idd, its something I've been doing vs every z for a while, becasue nearly every z on ladder does the stephano max on roaches build... and it was really nice seeing the counter to that being done so well and at such a high level

There is currently no answer as Zerg to a well executed immortal/sentry

thats not really true. its stupidly strong but beatable. the 2nd game stephano cancelled his top left hatch when he didnt have enough larvae to produce lings anyway, and he was on 2 gas so he couldnt make roaches. with the extra larvae of lings or with more spine crawlers he couldve held. he was almost at the tipping point anyway.

zergs dont focus on creep spread enough either, which is very important vs the immortal allin.

and ling infestor or ling bane+drop are build counters to it, they just have other weaknesses.


listen up, stephano!

Probably the biggest problem with this game is that I don't understand which guys are on which team.

it was already explained. Dota is a Warcraft 3 custom map and it uses W3 models. Dota 2 tries to keep it as close as possible.

Really?

The UI is the best thing about HoN, DotA2 observer UI is atrocious, certainly the worst out of the three

The Dota 2 UI has all those stats just you have to open up other tabs to access it. This way the screen is clear for the most part but you still can get the info you want. Think it's a better approach then the whole screen covered with info.

It actually looks like one of those Bud Spencer & Terence Hill movies. A whole bunch of guys just beating each other up for 20 minutes.


This is a slow game, this happens in sc2 too.

It's the final game, no team wants to take any extra uncalculated risks. They're playing to their lineup's strengths =)
So games we get 6 kills in 18 mins, some we get 30 kills in 18 mins.
I do admit this game is a bit boring, but again, both teams have a lot on the line in this final game of the tournament.


Is a "boring" play-style the strongest way to play? (Like Flash from BW )

there isnt really a best playstyle. Drafting is a big decider in what kind of game it will be. A couple months ago it was a super Push meta, and games would be over in about 25 minutes average. It was ridiculous. And then there's chinese games of average length about.... 80 minutes?


My... Flash...

I always wanted pro SC2 games to last longer on average (more high ground advantage please ), but 80 minutes is a movie...

maybe we could get SC2 players to stare at the screen picking units for 15 minutes before even starting the game, that would prolong it.


Or everyone starts w/ 0 workers so that we can really enjoy that super-early-early game some more.

Depends on the team and on the lineup. "Russian" dota is usually aggressive, while asian dota is very farm centric.
Some teams favour heavy pusher lineups to end the game by the 20-30 min mark, some pick a hero that excels at late game fighting with the proper items, and 4 other heroes to support him (so he won't die, has easy farm etc.) which turn into 60+ minute games.

Lone druid (the guy with the bear) is pretty long game centric, because he can in theory have 12 items on him, while other heroes can only have 6 (he can carry himself and his bear can also have 6 items). Tinker (the one teleporting everywhere) also needs some expensive items to become potentially very powerful. So mTw are trying to contain Na'Vi until these 2 can out right kill the other team.


I would have to disagree about your assessment with Lone Druid, he is a pretty early push centric hero as his bear can deal very high damage to buildings as well as carry a radiance burn that does not place himself at risk. 20 minute rax push strats are very common with Sylla when the radiance is picked up.

As you can see, 1 base is being invaded so... unless they make a lot of mistakes and give the other team a chance for a comeback, it should end soon =)

I havent watched hon in a while either, i spend to much time with sc2 :D

Still, the dota ui offers far less information than hon.
I wants more information^^

from what I've seen. (I didn't see game 1, only game 2 and this one)

mTw is really playing a team game. but Na'Vi is trying things more individually. may be because of heroes
