it's this what we call a neverending nonstop revenge nightmare climax?

FLY DESERVES TO SUFFER ETERNALLY.

Why are his lips so fucking disgusting? He looks like he had too much botox.

HEY END TI9 WITH IO

ABSOLUTELY BASED

i have around 150 steam friends and i've never seen any of them play dota 2. is it really just all chinks?

>OG gets Io
3-1, called it.

>le never supposed to such teams mentality
OG benefited from the exchange immensely

Fucked over his previous team, OG, by leaving them 2 weeks before the TI qualifiers to go join EG. It's not the friendship shit that matters, it's him behaving in a really irresponsible way and making a mess on the way out.

already over

og got carry IO so highly unlikely

Oy vey

FORMA DEL WISP

The problem isn't that he left OG or "ended the friendship" or whatever, it's the way he did it. Of course you're allowed to leave or join whatever team you desire, but doing it in a way that gives the team 2 weeks to get their shit together or lose a chance at participating in TI is just disgraceful and inexcusable.

If I told you a few weeks ago that the final match in TI would be won by a core Io would you have believed me dotards?

what a piece of shit.

KURO???

The asusmption is that Fly was the one who brought S4 with him, but obviously it's because the narrative between Fly and N0tail is way more interesting than S4's is with the team.

S E E T H I N G at the top son, stay mad ugly cunt

are you autistic? S4 was not notails longtime fuckbuddy

because he wasnt "best friends" forever with notail

So how do you like Gaben's script this year? Is it kino enough for your liking?

Maybe I would be seething if I was a fucking faggot like you and wanted dick sucking lips myself, but as a men I can't help but feel disgusted.

Yep.

>AA
literally not a hero

What do coaches even do at this point? Doesn't the captain do the draft?

Windranger is about to get WISPED

yeah it doesn't seem like the kind of hero they'd pick

they do more than just help with the draft

statistics, working out how enemy teams play so the players can focus on practicing, working out sick hero+item timings like 15 minute carry io with aghs, organizing practice, keeping the team feeling good
all sorts of shit. just because they don't play the game doesn't mean they're not helping. there's a reason all the top teams have coaches now

How did Valve get away with this Abaddon skin? That's literally fucking Arthas.

is it still relevant?

>Is there a good guide for a new dota player?
>Never gave a shit about mobas but started playing autochess and it feels like i missed out on something interesting.

Don't. Most matches, including ones you win, will be ones you don't enjoy for one reason or another.

The core gameplay is solid, but everything surrounding it is utter garbage.

Once you stop playing Dota you will regret wasting all those hundreds if not thousands of hours on something you mostly hated.

We love to see it, folks

I fucking hate Chinks so damn much.

global silence crowd

but chen/omni lost

7/10

FUCK CHINA

They legit can make any team comp work and what's worse is they can make godlike shit up on the go. Let's say you ban their Magnus, Ember, and Invo out of respect, youre left with them running an unstoppable Io/WR/DR combo, or the same shit they pulled on LGD with a bait Alch but uber Tide carry. You cannot ban anything that they'll do to you, and that starts with the flexibility in how Ana/Topson play their carry roles

imagine the fucking cope

You can only play "for fun" with bots, since even in unranked people sperg out and tryhard.
It doesn't matter if you mute either since people will throw, sperg out, etc.
If you're playing it super casually then this is the wrong game to play.

Very based. And honestly I can't think of a better team to be the two-time TI champions.

Deep down you know he is happy by Notail winning

what the fuck

Said no one ever. You got bots deciding how your meta and strats work these days.

Then again it probably suits an NPC like you.

did they not win because diff your retard they won because io + abo heal heals anybody from 5% to 90% in seconds.

9/10 because we got carry Io, Pugna and Meepo in the finals.
Imagine telling someone a couple of years ago these are gonna be in GF in the future.

But you are gonna screech and call them shit anyway.

It's actually amazing how often teams just lost track of what carries were doing when playing against OG. Congrats, you killed Ceb and Notail for the fifth time, but Topson is farming your bot/top lane at the same time and Ana is putting your entire team's networth to shame.

OG feeds so strategically, it's almost an art. Any time too much pressure is put on Ana, Topson just plays as aggressive as possible to relieve stress and let him farm, oh well, topson takes 2 or 3 deaths, but the second Ana gets his core items they make space for Topson to farm.

Repeating numerals have spoken

dota will die user it's just our generation of

in time it will get outdated

Doesnt this prove that team spirit and coordination > individual skill?
Apart from ana and maybe Jerax no players on OG are even in the top 10 of players on their role in terms of skill

But their coordination is godlike and they play every match as if they were a hive mind. Reminds me of 2013 era Na'Vi even

Every other team should play a bit more loosely lest they trip themselves due to being too rigid

consistency is the hallmark of skill-based activities. If there's a bunch of turnover and random winners then the thing is likely shallow as fuck. Not to say that new blood can't break in, but the people at the top are usually at the top for a reason

It was like a trash filler episode and having a repeat winner isn't actually that interesting.

Last year had a more compelling storyline with Fly and Notail, better games, better narrative with West vs East, better crowd which being Vancouver was half West v East, better venue, wasn't aired at retarded o'clock in the morning because of dumb Chinese time zones. It also wasn't hosted in the country of an oppressive regime that's trying to destroy Hong Kong at this very moment and gets butthurt about racist comments despite being the most racist nation on the planet, with Valve facilitating their filthy lies at every opportunity.

This was TI4 levels of awful and the only saving grace is watching OG chad stride over the insectoid crowd and all their hopes.

t. quake faggot

the group stage was way better i agree.

Fair enough, but I can think of 5 players more skilled than him. My point still stands

How exactly do you play against OG? Watching their games i feel like you atleast have to ban 5 heroes they regularly use in order to win, but banning phase prevents you from doing that. They atleast get two they can stomp with

Name one.

Just play without actually caring to win and do whats fun for you.

Even if you gotta be tiny and throw people. It's a gamble to win in pubs.

>LE WORSE THAN TI4 XDDD
lmao imagine actually believing this. OG showed off the spirit of Dota.

honestly this
i feel like a lot of teams practice a really rigid form of dota while og just clown around and win anyway

Honestly though, 7ckingMad got carried very hard by 4 other top tier players.

Ban IO, Chen and Alchemist and OG would have lost

Where the fuck did OG got this Topson guy?

dont enable ana and topson. which is a hard thing to do since ceb can delay games well and jerax is godlike at enabling his carries.

*ahem ahem*
I think you might be meaning Ceb

me

This. I can't stand Ceb but you cant help but cheer for OG and what they represent.

you gotta run some strat that counters whatever talent cheese their heroes can run.

last game, OG just out thought liquid with the wisp attack speed increase and diffusal on gyro.

immpresive

>what makes it impossible for new players to get good?
Topson and Ana just came out of nowhere 2 years ago...It is not impossible, but it's hard as Dota is a complex game and takes years to master. Zoomers just don't have dedication, humility and attention span for that, if it's not something they can get good at overnight like Fortnite, they lose interest.

this secret's best TI placement though lol

I unironically think LGD would have won this if they weren't in China.

They probably had five tons of pressure on them at all times.

I'm not sure. They were already pretty burned out and demotivated after winning last year.
They took like half a year off and didn't go to a lot of tournaments because what do you even play for after winning the biggest tournament ever?
I think the same thing will happen again only worse because now they have proven that they are the best team ever so where do you go from here?

Remind me of where Sumail placed this and the last TI.

Compared to last year it's an absolute travesty.

At least Valve aren't retarded enough to try doing another Chinese TI and are actually doing it in EU this time like they should have done the entire time.
IMAGINE trying to pander to the Chinese literal years after they were ever relevant. The Chinese government has stomped down super hard on gaming as a hobby so there is literally 0 Chinese fresh blood in Dota anymore. Valve are bumbling incompetents but at least they aren't going to repeat their mistakes next year.

They played really bad compared to the rest of the year. Early in the season they looked unbeatable.

>original post: Doesnt this prove that team spirit and coordination > individual skill?
>you: HURRR HURRR HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Bravo retard

power of friendship

sumail is better at laning and a great player but super greedy, topson is better at actually making space and ending the game and has a more versatile hero pool

that gyro pick and build was smart tho

thats the go to idea in general.
When Iron talon was a thing I just went sniper jungle for goofing around, rake up kill steals with my R. Was actually a soothing time.

Nigger, people play it since fucking 2003. Ofcourse its dwindling in numbers, the moba explosion died years ago, now the battle royale is also starting to die out and yet dota is still here and stronger than ever.
The point is, this game will forever have a strong major userbase that will keep it going

Saw this coming a mile away. Nothing significantly changed since TI8, the game is basically the same. How can a washed up player like Ceb and a first timer even win back to back TI's? That says something about the state of the game, good or bad depending on who you ask.

Yeah Valve is really sustaining it for the long term :^)

Even in the NA and EU scene there has been nobody new of relevance in the last year. I'm willing to believe OG won just because they're not the only washed up players still going.

>40m of concurrent viewers are gook bugmen
Bravo, riot!

This finals was fucking atrocious, TI4 level but with a worse main event

Remember when Solo tried to assassinate Ceb's career by pulling the "MUH RACISM" card?

lmao @ VP

Sumail is better at playing the mid lane, but he's not a better dota player overall. Topson is insane at stressing teams out and forcing rotations out against him. Topson creates more space on the map, finds more farm under harsh conditions, and knows when to make room for his team. Sumail has literally never shown any comparable skill outside of lane control, match up knowledge, and general laning mechanics, which means nothing when your laning phase turns into a mess of heroes rotating in and out constantly and your farm is being disrupted by supports.

retards

Sumail is not a better mid player in this patch, being able to control and farm in midlane means fuck all nothing when a ball of supports start diving your towers. The best mid players of this tournament were players that could rotate, make space, and force rotations out against them without feeding constantly and still having a top net worth. Topson literally was never poor in a single game he was in and in his games vs sumail he made EG as a whole look stupid as fuck, they wasted so much time chasing him and trying to shut him down while his supports and cores got picks and farmed.

>overinflated

Honestly, it's a direct embarrassment to Riot's prize pool for Worlds. How the fuck do you let a game that's less popular than yours have a much bigger prize pool than you? Why would someone really good who wanted to make money pick League over Dota?

that's pretty funny

Streaming and ranked games. Known for unconventional builds but ultimately knows how to instinctually adjust as things go along

Kek thats pretty funny

>literally just retweeted it

BASED FRAUD

Why?

based frog god

Nah, Wings played everything so you dont know what to take away in the drafting and you couldnt plan a strategy. OG pulls crazy lineups and ideas that nobody knows how to counter them

Based

> i cant articulate a proper argument but i want to badly join the convo so ill just leave an ambiguous comment and be edgy

there fixed it for you brainlet

Don't kid yourself. Every TI has been unique, sure some were shitshows but it goes to show how how patches significantly change the game throughout the entire season. Every TI except this year had different winners with different metas. Somehow these guys are just that good? I can believe it but you can't ignore the fact that the recent patches have not changed for a year relatively speaking. See

i'm convinced they had a whole load of weird strats they didn't even have to use. their coach is earning his cut for sure

What's the difference?

Because League players are Riot employees and are paid a salary by Riot, they don't require prize money to stay afloat, essentially.

Their in-game adjustments are also underrated. They really try their best to waste time when they are caught just to make space for their carries to farm

if they key to winning is friendship why come they didnt win any other tournaments during the year? did they stop being friends for 11 months?

That second game combo of MK and Ember was terrifying to watch.

because all the smart teams save their best shit for TI since the dpc goodboy points don't mean shit. Ana also missed half the year

It makes it difficult to ban them. Having Io in the champion pool alone already makes things awkward when trying to pick and counter pick

Yeah Ana wasn’t there can you imagine spending a year with ceb

True Sight is going to be amazing dotards.

It's going to EXPOSE Liquid as complete fucking shitters.

>caring about honeypot LANs

OG weren't even playing at their most 100% best this year and they still steamrolled, why bother?

If I was them, I'd take half a year off again and return for last 2 majors to qualify for TI and play hard for the big bux again. If you're good enough to pull it, it's the GOAT strategy as other tournaments are irrelevant money-wise and not worth the burn out.

TI1,2,3,4,5,7,8,9 winners abused 1 strat and force their opponents' bans to revolve around them

TI6 winner (chad Wings) didn't abuse anything and play whatever the fuck the want and win convincingly.

god I wish there's another team like Wings again.

fuck boring meta-focused dota. everyone is playing way too safe and boring in TI.

That's not true at all. They're paid decently by Riot and are paid by their organizations as well. The average NA LCS player makes over 350,000 dollars a year

wings org didn't pay them because the org invested the money on LoL team that failed

player contracts was expiring and the players wanted independence

it's china so there is no independence

If the game was so similar then how come other teams werent able to plan for what og was going to do

that gyro build tho, or are you telling me that was normal.

How's that valve's fault tho?

it's already over

og literally created their own meta this tournament and played their own heroes, (no one else fucking plays monkey king mid) just like they did last year (bringing out fucking ember in the last game).
OG is the true wings successor

read the post again

Valve didnt do jack shit and let ACE get away

They don't need to, usually from what I can tell you want to perform well at majors to get a spot for TI. Failing that, there are regional qualifiers but the endgame here is to get into TI anyway. Winning TI guarantees you a spot for the next one as long as you have the same roster so if they performed kind of badly during the year, they still were and now are again TI champions.

>no one else fucking plays monkey king mid
it's literally the only lane he's any good in

How can some gaymen company from ameristan intervene with private chink matters?

There are millions of people younger than you making a fuck ton more money than you ever will in your entire lifetime, if you want to make more money than you have to get into something that will do just that and if you can't do so, then you should stop this self-loathing because you won't be the last person to suffer the very fate you so much despise

Was Dazzle played in the TI? I really liked the hero

can valve actually do anything to intervene with ACE?

Yes, I love Clock too but he is by far the weakest hero in the game
