    What a goddamn player Akke is.

    No secret I don't play MOBA's often; but my goodness this has been a really great production and is producing wonderful games, too!

    Alliance are so fun to watch. Them and Na'Vi, or TeamLiquid in the final I'm hoping.

    Dendi makes Pudge look so sexy.

    These semi finals have been amazing.... that last game ! LOL


  • Posts: 8,016 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    That last game with Na'vi I was watching it through there now and I was just like they cant turn this around, no chnace. That pool hook on Gyro. Unreal I can't wait to see them against Alliance


  • Registered Users Posts: 29 Hawk9433


    I have a feeling that alliance wont let Na'Vi pick pudge :) dendi is too pro with pudge like, there is no one in the world right now in competitive dota that can land 16 hooks out of 18 thats like 88 % chance of him landing a hook.

    Yeah, that's what iG did last year to win the finals. They banned pudge every time.

    To be fair though they did kind of shut him down in the 3rd game, he got one pool hook on Gyro that won them the game pretty much and it was slightly lucky as Gyro ran in to it stupidly. Hard to believe that one big play has at least guaranteed Na'vi and extra few dolla.

    I think the biggest effect that the hooks had was that they made TF scared to start teamfights. Even when Dendi missed, TF backed off rather than taking advantage of the fact that he would be out of action for a short while. This allowed Xboct to farm up after a dreadful start, and actually be able to start to carry.

    If TF had manned up, and just started forcing teamfights more, I think they would have won. Its just typical of Chinese teams to play as passive as possible, and that's really what allowed Na'Vi to come back into the game.

    DK vs. Orange. Game 3. What am I watching? Mind = blown


  • Registered Users Posts: 966 ✭✭✭GO_Bear


    Na'Vi got schooled, they threw game 1 when they tped to the mid t1 tower one at a time, pub style, and got owned !


  • Registered Users Posts: 966 ✭✭✭GO_Bear


    Oh and, even though earlier in this thread I was rooting for Tongfu, Orange have really impressed me and I hope Mushi stomps them !


  • Site Banned Posts: 2,094 ✭✭✭BMMachine

    $400k aegis deny, on my holy god.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,009 ✭✭✭✭titan18


    Man, that game. Orange really messed it up on that Aegis deny but that Navi comeback was ridiculous.

    The thing is the comeback was because of that deny, OD would have respawned and more then likely would have mopped out. Instead it was just a mess.

    Oh, I know, but still have to credit Navi for sticking with it, and managing to land some nice black holes towards the end.

    Ah, poor kyxy, he cried right when it happened.

    Huge Puck plays pretty much won them that last game, stopping 3 tps back was the deciding factor
