People sure are hyping Mana up a lot after he beat a mid tier European.

He's doing the right thing because the match is being televised.

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.
