Yeah, First looked overly greedy there.

Seems like robo/blink/HT/charge is a bit techgreedy to defend the first MMM push. Surprise.

atleast if you have no guardian shield and are behind in upgrades. And in Hots of course skipped the MsC as support. Blink into storm was just a horrible idea on this map.

First lost all his sentries in that engagement. They were in front of his army and he lost two before he casted anything.

Maybe he didn't see any other game except this one because IEM is so behind schedule and intent to give us delays between everything

LoL (beside skill ceiling)feel empty, long and there isn't real possibility of coming back. It's just pale near Dota 2 or Sc2. And I don't even want to compare it to BW or Quake. Basically agreed with what you said. But comebacks are more likely to happen in LOL. Comebacks being more likely to happen isn't exactly a good thing. Them being rare is what makes them special. I think it really depends. Just look at Dota games for example, if one team are getting denied in early farm for too long, the game is basically a slow and painful death. And the game might just be really one sided all the way till finish (and the game usually lasts like 40 mins+) Having a BIGGER chance to come back means that we can always expect the game to change and we all waiting for that moment and see how it all reveals But simply the graphics is what I don't understand. The animations look so weird, to me it's like everyone is slowly wobbling over the screen in LoL. I think anyone can watch 'the play'' bij Navi from Dota2 and even though they don't have a clue what is going on, it will still look impressive. But with LoL highlights I don't get that vibe at all. You need to play a lot. You need to understand which effect every spell has. The spells don't speak by themselves. Their design is focused on create impact and express power/awesomeness. SC2 is a more elegant, though. A LOT more elegant. SC2 needs exposure. You actually don't need to play a lot to enjoy watching. I have friends that played only the campaign and a few multiplayer games, but it still watch some tournaments. LoL doesn't have this. Everyone watching pretty much plays a lot. I've attempted to watch LoL on many, many occasions, and play as well. And basically, I feel like LoL is Dota on an excessive dose of sleeping pills. They slowed down the game to a crawl, and in the pro scene the games really have little action. The first stage of the game is the most boring, because of no denying and how easy it is to avoid ganks when you're at least a little versed in the game. It's way too slow for me, Dota is more dynamic.
Also from a metagame standpoint, LoL is stagnant, while Dota keeps changing, which makes the picking phase and lineup analysis more interesting.

He did but it did not come out until the game was already lost.

What I take from this atm is that the WoL to HoTS transition is not as big as was expected

Oh yeah medivac speed upgrade, I forgot xD So they have to be making only HoTS units to play a HoTS tournament? Each matchup looks way different from what we have seen in WoL. Therefor HoTS effect can definitly been seen
