Although I know calling Bulldog best offlaner is far more controversial, I'm a little surprised Hao didn't even enter the top 3 discussion. TongFu dramatically improved their position in The International over 2012, and seemed like the only Chinese team to understand the meta the way they western teams did. Burning is cool, but he is practically the definition of "Chinese Dota" (which itself is sort of an outdated image) as he basically has tried several times now to create a team of four guys who are good enough to hold off a five-man team on their own while he vacuums up everything in the background. Carries like Loda and Xboct are willing to drop their farm and come support the team with whatever they have. Burning's strategy is that the cavalry will come when it's drat well ready, and they stretched the absolute limits of what that could accomplish against Speed and still lost. The current DK lineup is good enough at stemming the bleeding that it's a successful strategy more often than not, but that's relatively new.

Burning is on record as saying 4 protect 1 doesn't work anymore, and he's always been willing to TP in to help in fights, especially since DK got their new roster. If you want examples of a farm a lot but do nothing carry players, you're looking at Sylar or Black^, not Burning.

Burning has even been given a Furion solo lane a couple times to make room for the ice3 invoker pick, if you think the new DK is all about protecting him while he farms do you even watch them play?  I'm sure you can point to individual games where it happens but you can do that for almost everybody

Yeah, I've seen it, but it's relatively new and points more toward Burning being the carry player of 2014. In 2013 he is the guy that is best known for having farmed for 90 minutes and lost to a team that he had several chances to defeat.

Actually he was known as one of the few carry players willing to join the fight whenever his team needed him and that's why he's considered as one of the best carries because he puts the teams need over farming nonstop.

It doesn't even make sense for it to be EE over Sing. Sing gets more viewers, streams more often, is way more affable, and isn't a literal real-life anime Notail is a strong candidate too, with all the shouting at live events, being a great if less-popular streamer, and the Michael skills meme. Really don't know what they were thinking putting ee over either one emdash fucked around with this message at 20:55 on Jan 11, 2014 |
