Pure perfection from Alliance in the 3rd game in finals. 20+ kills, 0 deaths.
Great performance from my favourite support player as well, Akke.

I regularly play on SEA server, but most of the time we're group of 5 players, sometimes we also go to TMMs
Also, I find it funny how Quantic banned LD against Alliance every game. u mad bulldog?
Yeah, he's my favorite Chen player right now.Tetsu wrote:

prove that Bulldog can only play 2 heroes D:
but Quantic is still the most interesting doto team to watch,i mean look at their picks
not those boring Naix Pook kotl PL and shit

Alliance dota is boring dota.
Period.
And Goblak is BEAST - as well as Silent, definitely the core of Quantic (while Goblak is the king)
FuckingMad is also pretty good
I also think that EG should dismiss bdiz as well as Jeyo, they just pull EG down. Right now it's like this :
Fear, 99%
Demon & Bamboe, 1%
Jeyo & bdiz, -100%
I find it fucking sad that Fear is such an extraordinary and the most hard working and best player in NA (and EU), but his teamm8s just can't keep up with him and they pull him down. I feel really bad for Fear every time
Bros before pros?
What surprised me the most was Dignitas (I think they surprised about everyone). Since a while already I see their drafting and strategy as highly interesting, they just build their own meta. They have their own picks and strategies just like Quantic and I love it that they have such an unique and unconventional style (which works btw, prove : NaVi).
I'm really looking forward to TI3 now. Like, really. There won't be East vs West -> Eastern Regions vs Eastern Regions -> Chinese vs Chinese this year. It will be Team A vs Team B. I strongly believe so and I think I will be proven right
PS: Mouz finals ez with qojqva trolololo

what you expect from 2 thrower in 1 team bro,maybe Fear should find a better team but i doubt he'd throw those shitload of sponsorship his current team have right now
what i feel about Quantic is the French trio aint in the same level skill as Goblak and Silent,if Goblak didnt get the hero he wanted then Quantic winrate is like <40%

Btw, after doing this in my head, I'm curious how you guys rate the DOTA 2 commentators =p
For me :
Luminous > TriumphOfMan > LD > Saga (german caster) > Draskyll > (2GD) > Tobi > Godz > Epi > Ayesee = Sheever = Blaze
Only listed professional, active DOTA 2 casters.
Co-Commentators excluded
PS : had a tough call on the last 3. Sheever has kinda improved, she certainly is better than when she started out. Only better it is though.
Ayesee, well, meh. He has a great voice and would become a great caster if only he just had more knowledge and overview about the game. Only 1 year of DOTA 2 knowledge is way too less :/
And Blaze - The only reason i watch ThePremierLeague is because of TOM because he's fucking beast and Blaze is kinda like the little, unschooled, annoying shadow of his

Tobi > GD guys > BTS > That guy that casts for Neo (Maut) > everyone else
Lumi, Tobi, LD, Draskyll, GD (though I think there are multiple people with different teams). I probably have more, but I can think of one.
I don't like draskyll, he seems to believe there is only 1 way to play dota with his smug comments when he isn't happy about an item/skill build or hero pick. But once it goes good for that team he just bandwagons them and hypes their item/skill build or hero pick. What really annoys me is when he points out the most obvious faults of an unorthodox pick and acts as if he just dropped the biggest knowledge bomb ever known to man. IMO casters should hype up the match not semi flame players and make retarded comments about the gameplay.
I haaaaate draskyll. I love everyone else in GD, but him...I hate him. He looks REALLY fucked up too. Like he does crack every day or something.
calm ur tits guise,EE cast is the best
i dont like ayeese his stream is crap and full of ads,Tobi is nice but the mods on his channel are disgusting,so BTS and GD is the best

Tobi > all
IMO Tobi is the only one who really manages to display passion on his stream/casting, it's really fun to watch a match casted by Tobi, the other casters are good too, but they are more focused on the technical details and a wider display of information. It's like watching football and comparing South American casters against idk, british casters?
VS
Maybe I like Tobi more because i'm used to the super hype casters, idk.

If it's the general, casual cast, I prefer others over Tobi (like i mentioned in my ranking)
But I do agree if it's some great tournament, the grand finals or something at TI3, then Tobi is a MUST.
Nobody brings as much passion into the game as him
PS : Your comparison doesn't work because the british caster got butthurt because Maradona scored against England. And in a fashion like that. Ofc he ain't happy

Yeah forgot about that, but every time I watch a game of football in english (casted by british mostly), it really lacks passion, a lot, at least compared to the normal casters from here (Argentina). Anyway it's just an opinion.Magicphoenix wrote:

I have the same issue as well. I'm way used to South Korean commentators on SC1 & LoL.druidxd wrote:

Versuta is the best commentator in my opinion. Russian doto commentator. Especially his rages are epic even at professional games.
Anyway, there isn't any Dota commentator that I would say he is awesome, great blablabla but Luminous is in my opinion the best, has good knowledge of Chinese Dota, LD is also ok. Tobi can be very good if he stop overreacts too much but that's what makes him special I guess.

Alienware Cup tiebreak rule :
1. Results of match-ups
2. Scores after adding 1 point per 2:0 match
3. Accumulated penalties
4. Result of a mutually agreed tie-breaker
5. Random draw
Those are tie breaker rules that the west needs right now. Not that dipshit "Who won the games faster will win the tiebreaker". Most retarded tiebreaker rule I've ever witnessed in any professional environment for various reasons. I surely don't think I need to elaborate

lol prove that Navi is just nothing more than a mere tier 2 team
Na'Vi is absolute tier 1 great tier.
It has to do with them not really being prepared and probably not studying. Also Alliance did not face TongFu or Zenith, which are two teams with very odd strategies and are VERY good.

Honestly, Zenith isn't that much stronger. I'd easily say it's the worst (but still very strong) performing team in the tournament.
Also, that still doesn't justify NaVi simply being worse than Alliance.
While I do believe NaVi still has a shot in this tournament, they surely don't do it in a fashion like the swedes did. Maybe the haven't pulled out their real strategies yet since it was the group phase that didn't decide anything. But I don't think that's the case since I surely don't believe they want to try out that many new things that they take such a beating.
Nevertheless, I still look forward to how they will perform.
Even though I wrote this all, I'm not an Alliance fanboy (I actually think that they play the most boring Dota in the current western scene) and neither a NaVi hater.
I'm just disappointed by the CIS-German mix since they're seriously playing under their maximum level
PS : Zenith still has a good shot though. They can beat most teams when they're in top form but they're not good enough to beat teams like LGD.cn/.int or DK in the same form in my eyes.
Also, from what I've seen in this tournament, Mushi has been more and more disappointing. BTS said it once, 2009 really dislikes Mushi for how he plays and I can only agree on that

But I won 16 rares yesterday by consistently betting against NaVi ehuaheuhaeuhaee (fanboys on d2l put the quota higher than it shoulda been)
Only player who is playing on the level they're supposed to is Liquid'Kurok, Dendi has improved finely too but the rest is just meh

.78c patch is out. I really love the Treant and Alchemist nerf, although I feel that batrider's napalm is still imba.
- * Lifestealer: Rage cooldown increased from 15 to 17 seconds
* Batrider: Flamebreak cooldown increased from 11 to 14
* Guardian Wisp: Tether movement bonus decreased from 20% to 17%
* Treant Protector: Living Armor damage block instances from 7 to 4/5/6/7
* Alchemist: Chemical Rage bonus HP reduced from 300/600/900 to 250/500/750
* Gyrocopter: Gyrocopter attack range reduced from 375 to 365
* Team 2 now bans second instead of first in Ban Phase #2. (All other phases and orders are the same)
all those nerf and PL is still op,wp IceFag

I actually don't much enjoy playing as Slark, something about him. pretty much the only hero I play these days is Naga. I also play a mean SK.

If it's about tournament interview and all the other extra stuff GGnet is much better.
@xsrsbsns I personally think the new UI is much cooler and has a better overview + is better packed (easy to find multiple things really fast)

Agreed, but I am convinced Icefrog just doesn't know how to balance the game and simply hands out band-aid buffs and nerfs to whatever heroes are "too weak" or "too op". "oh, broodmother too good at pushing? MAKE HER BABY SPIDER BOUNTY RIDICULOUS!". "Hmmm, PL is the lamest and most ridiculous hero to deal with for months now? oh well leave him as is."Pizzicato wrote:

And what happened to PL?
He's not picked anymore.
Why?
Because people found a counter and he's out of the meta.
Icefrog is doing a great job at balancing and I can't believe how much effort and thought he puts into + he got damn great talent and the smartness for bringing the right nerfs and buffs.
Sure, some aren't that great, but it's mostly the players themselves deciding what is OP or not. Sven for example was 1st priority picked. No nerfs, no buffs.
What happened? Rarely picked anymore.
Yeah ofc, some heroes are not picked, but that's solely because of the hero concept itself. When somebody created that hero, he got a concept and Icefrog strongly buffs and nerfs around those. And the concept that Brood has right now, he just doesn't fit into meta anymore...

You make a strong point, it's true he is out of the meta but imo it took a bit too long, perhaps my previous post was too harsh on Icefrog.Magicphoenix wrote:

I certainly respect the man and he does put a lot of effort into the game, but I think his approach is just a bit wrong. I don't think when a hero gets nerfed that it should be pushed so far down the ladder that no one even thinks to pick him anymore, yes this is extremely hard to achieve due to the nature of a game like Dota2 but it is possible. Overall though yes he is doing great and I definitely am not complaining about the game as a whole

The Birds are aggressive team from what I saw in the first game, I like it.
Come on, show us some Meepo games or carry the game with Chen!
The production value is fucking amazing man. I like how the draft looks.
And yeah, even if they're playing like this, I'm actually entertained because of dem casters.

sven got old because there are more better choices than him now (because of the changelogs ofc)Magicphoenix wrote:
And what happened to PL?
He's not picked anymore.
Why?
Because people found a counter and he's out of the meta.
Icefrog is doing a great job at balancing and I can't believe how much effort and thought he puts into + he got damn great talent and the smartness for bringing the right nerfs and buffs.
Sure, some aren't that great, but it's mostly the players themselves deciding what is OP or not. Sven for example was 1st priority picked. No nerfs, no buffs.
What happened? Rarely picked anymore.
Yeah ofc, some heroes are not picked, but that's solely because of the hero concept itself. When somebody created that hero, he got a concept and Icefrog strongly buffs and nerfs around those. And the concept that Brood has right now, he just doesn't fit into meta anymore...
YEAAAA REISEN!!!!!!!!!!
