General DiscussionThese picks just gave me cancer

^
Yeah because the naga/pl-kotl/alch/bat spam was much better last year ROFL.

Honestly, the Naga and Alchemist crap was quite annoying last year also. But at least they had more varied picks. This year, Krob/Razor every game, every fucking game.

Tinkers, tinkers everywhere.

naga wasn't on every game last year because she was instapick/ban just like lycan lulz

What about the teamfights and memorable moments, which TI had more

Are u serious? Much more versatile picks this year.

Last year:

Kotl + PL EVERY game. So boring. And PL is the most cancerous hero to watch. Razor/Rhasta games can actually be fun. Oh, and btw, they play to WIN not to entertain.

Course they play to win. But sometimes if your team doesn't make it and you don't care too much about the teams playing to win I guess sometimes watching an exciting game is better!

Honestly this year we have more picks. Instead of top 20 heroes only picked we got top 40! Remember TI2-3 when only offlane was DS/clockwork? Or mid was only puck or razor?

If you think thats bad, just wait until your teammates start suiciding every 3 minutes....And feeding in between

^ plz no Q.Q

don't pretend that it won't happen. It will.

Where do you get this shit from?? Last year was all Alchemist/Gyro etc I only remember one PL/kotl pick A vs LGD. This years TI was sucha disappointment. Like Liquid played so well and didnt even make it to main event, same with Titan. The bubblerace is some kind of a fucking joke no idea what retard came up with it. I have no idea what idiot created this format of tournament cuz its all shit. 1 day of playoffs already we know 2/3 top teams....
I dont even know why they changed the format last year was much better. Instead we get this shit amd the real problems LIKE THE FUCKING AUDIO and SUDDEN HACKATTACKS are still there.
#10milion dollar quality

Fun fact, this has been the most versatile international with almost every hero being picked. I should have made T-shirts for the TI with slogans like

#bansky
#norazororifeed

ETC.

Deadshot - if you only remember one PL/Kotl game then you only watched on game at ti3. End of discussion.

I watchdd all TI3 games :) all I remeber was alchemist/clock and NP and as I said one game with PL

This year's hero picks are much better than last years

The bracketing on the other hand was utter shits, knowing 1 of the top 2 in the first day removes so much hype, and after that all matches being elimination kinda sucks too

for me it was more fun to watch 4protect1 big carries farm 30min then you come to fight when they are pushing highground and wipe them all.

These games was the most fun for me. This TI was extremely boring to spectate. (3-4 games that were interesting/fun)

^ same here. fuck this early push strat bullshit.

I dunno, I find the naga/AM games quite exciting to watch. Seeing how the teams cope with the huge pressure of either commiting to shutdown naga or at leat push all T2 by 18 min is quite exciting as well as seeing great naga players make a comeback.

As long as the rhasta's support and don't "mid or feed" and build dagons and shit. Also I will take a billion razors over PA any day. That arteezy pa mid video or whatever was hell.

Fucking weavers

I mean at least these are all good, well rounded heroes. Kotl PL only works if you have both in the same lane and then you must adjust all your other lanes. Naga is one strategy, afk farm and split push. Dendi's pudge is not good if you suck at it. Razor is a good carry, can mid or safe, has flexible builds. Shadow shaman good support. Weaver can off or safe lane carry, he's a strong carry, not a crazy afk farmer like anti mage. So I'm fine with those heroes.
