wouldn't even be surprised if the chinkjew tries to "expand" his failing brand into dota and wants to siphon DC

Wings toyed with DC when they picked pudge/techies and then Pudge during game one.

They seemed to have a hard on for ET that no other team seemed to respect. ET and Batrider seemed to be the game winners during this TI.

Very sad how DC played near the end. They were extremely cocky instead of cautious. Against wing's draft you needed to play safe and counter AOE spells with BKB's and escape heroes. You have to out farm them to win.

I disagree

MVP beat them by being super aggressive TNC did the same albeit idk if wings was hiding their power level it was just group stages

No seriously though, why are people glad that OG/EG/DC lost? Don't fucking cheer for chinks to win you race traitor fucks. If asians dominate dota it's going to die because of the sheer boredom and lack of interest and relatability in the professional scene like Starcraft 2 did.

Remember, ANY western team winning is better than a chinese victory.

>>151700789

This season has almost completely removed the emphasis on early game advantages. It's literally designed to devolve into a late game constant team-fight comeback tug of war.

>>151700848
Actually, any team winning a back to back TI would seriously fuck up Dota 2. I would be more worried about ""Icefrog"" adding more memeback to make the tournament scene even more unpredictable.

>>151700427
white people wanted io to win? why?

>>151700848

Are you dumb? China got rekt this TI outside of Wings. The only other chinese team to breach top 8 was Ehome and they finsihed 5/6th which is worse than what they and most people expected.

>I missed when EG got knocked out

Dammit. Is it possible to go to archives of stickied threads?

I just know the EG butthurt would have been massive. They tend to angrily start blaming everything but the team.

>>151701027
Yes but it was more win laning stage kill them the moment they come out of the base until the advantage is so big they lose.

Its was very reminiscent of what happened to newbee when they played vs liquid. Newbee was way better than liquid but they got destroyed in the laning phase and A+clicked the moment liquid saw them

how long until treasure is marketable and they release the "if we past the last year pool, everyone gets money" treasure?

>>151701027

This is precisely why a lot of the skill that was originally in dota was removed. The laning stages mean almost nothing anymore unless you get completely dumpsetred. Back then if you got ganks a couple of times you were fucked because you needed a ton of kills/last hits to come back.

>>151700848
You are 100% correct.

But one thing you must understand is that Starcraft 2 did not die because of Chinks, it died because of Gooks.

We are still at a 50/50 win-rate between west and east teams at the TI's. This year's Chink victory was expected in order to restore the constant back and forth pattern between east and west.

Wings was the only competent Chinese team this year. The rest were garbage. We have to win next year though.

This was the first year I felt good about not buying a compendium. It's just not the same anymore... Not like Dota 2 in its peak years. People memed for years about how diverse the hero pool was at each TI, but really the pros were always trying to pick the safest/most op stuff possible. And now that heroes get nonstop buffs every fucking patch, it feels like there's less variety.

>>151701397
Its not just that, roles are slowly eroded away in favor of raw damage or stuns

They are turning heroes into lol champions to simplify everything

just like with the jungle

the multipurpose items

and all that

>>151701397
I agree with this and it's terribly depressing.

Dota used to be a lot more fun for me before the fucking comeback mechanics were put in to reward failure.

>>151700848
>dota didn't have a competitive scene (no, almost nobody knew it existed ) till essentially TI1
>dota will die if chinks dominate TI
Being this much of a newfag

at this rate valve is going to kill the game no matter who wins the tournaments

This is just a reminder that the Chinks only won this Ti because of the cancerous comeback mechanics. DC stomped them during the laning phase 3/out of four games but they came back because of shitty comeback gold.

>>151701994
You mean the laning phase now means literally nothing?

Yup shit sucks I understand that before all this shit was implemented comebacks were difficult but they were definitely possible through hard work and outplaying the enemy team.

Now teams make one missplay or mistake in the mid game and all of the sudden the enemy team is back int he game with a kill thats worth over 1k gold and a tower/rosh kill. Heck the enemy team doesn't even have to make a missplay the other team just needs to get off one effective smoke gank and the comeback is on.

>>151701302
anyone?

I'm new to dota from this TI, I've played like 20-30 games.

>>151701397

>>151702191
I was thinking about this lately. What if we went back to the way things were at TI2? Or maybe even before that to TI1(with all the heroes of course) or WC3 Dota? Like, literally roll back all the patches. Because the level of skill increased absurdly, shitters like PGG were TI worthy pro players back then for example. So who knows, maybe these patches were being played all wrong? Maybe the game was better/worse than we thought back then?

This contradicts the previous statement though, since LoL heroes have very well defined and developer enforced roles, the opposite of "roles are slowly eroded away"

>>151702247

>>151702191
The thing is that back then the lead was generated through hardwork. its not that there weren't no comebacks per se but the lead signified one team was already about to win the game that was even up until the lead started

Memeback renders everything pointless

Teams suck ass this year because they can't ""feel" the game, everyone gets free gold and experience and the early game doesnt matter that much so what is everyone supposed to do?

There are no real timings perse aside from roshes and maybe the first big item.

>>151702298
no it needs to get back to 6.81 and start over from there

82 and 83 were similar to 81 back had memeback and 82 kinda went overboard with the memepush protections

84 completely ruined the game beyond repair since it introduced all the gold changes and the new lol items

That isn't how EG butthurt goes. They try to mask it by taking up whatever cause they think might even remotely justify EG losing.

Somehow that the game isn't "pure" and that EG can only play "pure" Dota.

They have been doing this for years.

>>151702775
>those were some glorious years of Dota
Yes, but what if that is just because no one was playing as well as they could? Maybe the laning stage didn't matter at all back then too and we just didn't know. Maybe it mattered even more, so much that nothing else mattered (specially if we go back far enough to before smoke existed as a thing).

What are your plans until reshuffles begin?

>>151703317
play unranked to escape void and mirana

>>151702482
But the skills in lol are fixed wow like rotations that in the end all they do is raw damage they are not situational like in dota

Valve keeps deleting all exceptions all types of armor all types of damage all orbs effects , keeps replacing abilities with worse or better versions of others and so on

Its not that the skill set of the hero enables certain strategy that can only be done with it, all heroes can do the same which is to do damage. Thats a big part of why games devolve itno killing fest where nothing else matters

And it makes the game tedious since before every dota game felt different now every game feels the same

all the changes tend to eliminate all the drawbacks of the hero while overbuffing the strenghts

the real icefrog would keep the weakness but enable the hero to do something new no other could do

THe valve faggot interns just ramp up the damage , aghs mirana lvl 7 deals more magic damage than any of the other caster heroes with lvl 3 ult. Skywrath could cast 2 flares with his aghs now it can only cast one which is worse than the previous aghs. The high mana cost was there cause it would have been to OP

and so on

Which teams do you reckon will make changes?
I think it's quite hard to predict, but Secret is obviously going to kick shit left and right

>>151703481
I wish EG kicked ppd but that probably wont happen

>I want to autistically memorize rock, paper, scissors matchups and then deathball at 20 minutes to win the game
>other than the deathpush, I do not want to interact with my team at all

This disease from HoN will never truly be cleansed. If you want a 1v1 game, go play something else. If you want to be autistic and avoid other players in a game, go play something else.

Despite all the different design philosophies from Riot, Valve/Icefrog, $2, etc. all of them eventually come to the same conclusion. That if you want a game to last for more than 30 minutes, that it shouldn't be decided entirely in the first 10 minutes.

Keep crying about "memeback" all you want, it will not change.

>>151703306
Brewmaster was a good pick against Ursa to be honest, to me the problem to me is that the only disables they had outside of brew were ravage and ET's stomp. Plus it didn't matter if they could win against Ursa in teamfights when they were getting split pushed.

Ok, fuck it, I'm tired, time to sleep.

how did dc even make it this far? they can only play like one hero each and i think eg really over estimated their capabilities and then got ratted because of it. dc was just a pub team. i think eg would have learned from the first series and won it. i guess we'll never know

>>151703790
Ok, but still the problem of the draft is that it had almost no disables. I doubt they would have won no matter what the last hero was.

>>151703652
2.5 billion matches of dota played

Did you see DC that game? They avoided EG all game and just split pushed Medusa can't keep up with heroes like slark and she can't be in all 3 lanes at once.

You pick Dusa to be a frontline tanky unkillable piece of shit not to try and pick off split pushing heroes or stop split pushing.

>>151704246

fuck off no one cares.


Now to what really matters:

is faith.bian the best dota 2 player as of now?

Lad, Wings played out of their minds in that bo2 and like a complete joke in the finals. Same goes for DC.

>>151703790

Should have picked like Tinker, Ember, invoker or even a puck to counter the splitpush and pick people off but I doubt sufail can play those heroes.

>>151704351
You don't understand. Medusa can push the lane by herself. Along with a TB it then allows EG to be the ones split pushing. You have dusa go solo push and if they go on her she just stone gazes and stalls them by being tanky. If they go after TB they just team fight around him while dusa takes towers. The brew pick was just bad plain and simple

>>151704389

Dota2 is so unstable its literally throwing a dart in a dark cave and praying you hit bullseye. I want to see stability from any team. If wings turns into CDEC 2.0 than it really shows that post-TI, no winning team will give two shits about playing seriously anymore.

Storm and Invoker were banned, Tinker might have worked to save them from being split pushed.

>>151704619

Dusa has no escape and would have gotten picked off by roar/ kunkka combo with either the slark or ursa their to finish him off. Dusa would have been a shit pick EG needed a mobile hero on Sumail mid to catch people and stop the splitpush.

>>151704761

>>151704042
Imagine if the entirety of Wings just goes ahead and quits dota2, it would be the biggest middle finger to the idea of being competitive just because they roll on so much dough in the shortest amount of time.

>>151704864
isn't tinker like 0 wins in main stage and even groups?

>>151704741

I'm not saying brew was the pick but your medusa "idea" is just retarded. Not wasting my time on your 2k ass bro.

>Wings' average mmr is 6.5k - WINNERS/CHAMPIONS/whatever, WON 9 MILLION DOLLARS
>OG's is 7.8k - placed last, barely 100k in winnings

MMR doesn't mean shit.

t. the only gulager above 4k

>>151704904
you don't need escape when you have mana shield

besides, brew's "escape" is shit and you don't want to use it defensively

>>151704740
Do you not know how good medusa is at wave clearing? Kind of hard to split push if your wave dies in 2 seconds

Send medusa to solo push out a lane
4 man down a lane with the TB
Medusa BoTs in

Wew its like that's a winning strategy!

I wonder if Valve gonna do anything to people that follow dota2 but don't play them. I just checked r/dota2 and a lot of normies get attracted to the event.

Nope. You could tell from the draft what EG wanted to do. They wanted a 4 protect 1 kind of style where they group up early on the back's of sumail and tide and take DC's towers and establish map control to starve out the ursa and slark. All the while the old man is farming and getting ready to breach high ground. It could have worked but sumail fucked up and DC had other plans in mind.

I'd place TI5 bottom 3. In the end, if the TI has a shitty final, its a shitty TI.
It was so obvious that EG was gonna win unless CDEC pulled off like 3 cheese strats in a row.
PPD is just one of the kings of bo5, so it was just a slow fizzle instead of the big bang at the end.
Also EG not being hyped at all after winning ruined it, just like EHOME and Wings did.

what would you do if you won TI? for real

I'd probably buy my mom a house

Is Saksa the best position 5 currently? I'm convinced he is, he blew my fucking mind.

>>151707069
but it is

terrorblade cannot deal with a slark that doesn't want to fight him without tide and brew blowing ults

terrorblade can't really deal with an ursa or SD either but that's another problem

>>151707091
maybe 2k shitters will buy fucking attack speed instead of a battlefury on void now

tell me youre not serious.

if not for the money nobody would play this shit game

>>151707119

Probably invest it into something because it's only a bit over million dollars and most idiots would blow it all in a year or two anyways.

They had no choice. It was either go miraculous (read feed) play or wait for certain death in X minutes.
Wings don't fuck up.

didn't buy a compendium

good call too, money would have gone to chinks

>>151706707
No, Western teams still have a 50/50 TI winrate against Chinks. Every chink team sucked accept Wings.

>>151707293
Sumail has nowhere to go
EG still scored 3rd, they won't be changing anything IMO and the org is breastfeeding them very comfy salaries. The only one able to provide that is the jew sunsfan but they need to kick w33 which would go against the image of the brand DC.

the most that will change is that zai decides to leave

Just sucking up to artour possibly.

When you think about it that team is full of pure mechanical skill. They just need good Dota knowledge.
