DOTA 2 - Page 159 - Video Games - Video Game Systems Forum

it seems this is the finals everyone wanted?

i still feel really bad for that guy that ****ed up. it's like a field goal kicker missing a 30 yarder ftw

Not me. This might tick some people off but I don't like watching Alliance play. They just seem like a better chinese team with perfect teamwork and occasional interesting ideas. NaVi + Orange finals would have been great.

I have played Dota for 5 years and I've watched pro dota for around the same time. I've never seen anyone deny an aegis in a professional game by accident.

Alliance is a lock, it'll take some crazy pocket strats for navi to win a bo5.

lol.

akke and puppey are best west jungler supports, but for you to infer puppey is miles ahead of akke is pretty lol (unless you're trolling). overall i give puppey's chen a slight edge and akke's enchantress an edge.

nah i think navi have a good chance after seeing what alliance wanted to do in their first bo3. they just need to have an answer for bkb which they did not have in either of the other 2 games. and i think if they just ban the nature's prophet they can pick a strong 5 man lineup to counter alliance's preference to group up (alliance like to 5man in the mid game unless they have prophet/PL/kotl). i would also like to see them either pick or ban the alchemist in the 2nd stage. the hero just farms too fast and gets really strong too early to give him a free farm lane.

Really sad that LD+Lumi are casting the finals for the 2nd time. They were bad last year. Just because they are North American, doesn't mean they should get auto final.

Pretty sure Valve are still pissed with Tobi about what he did last year so they passed it to LD and Lumi again.

I think it's more that Valve dislikes Tobi for some of his antics

Much more flexible player than puppey, I remember when he used to play support gyro for nth and transition into a carry late game. I was only saying that the body block was far from special. I have tons of respect for Akke though, he is the most consistent player at ti3.

I've been staring blankly at my screen after the aegis deny. WTF just happened.

Anyway whatever happens in the grand finals, its good to know that a US team is taking it down.

Puppey > Akke just for being a better overall player with his range of players and him being the smarter player. Akke>Puppey with Enchant though. I still think Maelk is the best jungle player ever.

Dota player draft anyone?

the interesting thing about this navi alliance match is that alliance seems to be content to leave wisp in the pool. gonna be interesting to see if navi still picks it after losing both games in the prior series. i hope they pick it and just pick a better hero to combo with it.
