Can’t wait until next TI when that goblin grandmother of the year is the hero teams dread to face head-on.

I think people don’t like when grand finals look suspiciously similar to pubs, and so the complaining and reflections to TI4 over these stomps are mostly because OG used low cooldowns that do moderate amounts of damage and denied Liquid the high cooldown moves associated with big plays like ravage and black hole.

We like that poo poo because we can’t actually hear the players talk, so seeing a team hiding smoked in the trees waiting to spring a big move is about the only time the audience is witness to the strategy discussion. OG’s strategy, without the comms, just looks like a bunch of diving and clowny manfighting. Obviously they’re a super talented team and conformed to the winning playstyle, but the vulnerability they found in Icefrog’s design this year was a pretty stupid one.

Yeah i thought this TI was great too

Also, no, that's not really true. Player skill is still more important than most other things.

Yep this is exactly the same argument as "how can Munchkin be a bad game, I have fun playing it drunk with my friends".

I'm not insulting you btw, just that argument pops up in the boardgame thread a lot and it's...it's bad.

Its an absolutely fair comment. Every single time i play dota I'm high as gently caress playing with a good friend. Playing without both sounds miserable.

in this context it means I'm astonished you are finding the team secret v alliance game boring when the alternative is sitting in an airport

But seriously, this game is boring. On the back of the other games today (80 minute games) this series is a let down.

Is there some sort of alternative to Twitch for watching DOTA? Like even a site that just re-streans from Twitch lol.

Our network filter at the office is weird. I can go to Twitch, everything works fine EXCEPT for the video is blocked.

I was watching ESL Birmingham last night on Youtube via my switch, its not perfect because obviously not every stream is mirrored on youtube but its good for the bigger tournaments
