Defense of the Ancients 2

Just watched China Allstars vs World Allstars at G1 League. What the fuck, this is like 5 pick vs 5 random. Total fail.

I was hoping for a cool match but it was very disappointing

*edit
Watching iG - LGD.cn

holy fuck 2-22 ??

This is just like Dreamz - LGD.

Outplayed hard. 3-43.

Ok people!

I GOT SOME DOTA 2 GAMES THAT I GOT AS A GIFT!!!

WHO WANTS IT?

No. Hes probably from HoN/LoL.

That was a joke... Oh well :/ bad one then.

Would be kinda nice to have one tho....

Btw LGD Vs Alliance game 1 starts about now

Alliance won, it was so damn expected too.

Alliance is now on a 6 tournament win streak, they also didn't lose a single match in G-1.

[A] too strong and gives solid performance. Admiral's LD gonna be the new meta.

also I wanna say congrats for Liquid for winning the match against iG. At last they not going for 5 loss at this event.

*now waiting for TI3

I don't understand why they didn't just ban the bear from Admiral. Also, it was pretty much over when they gave everyone in [A] their top heroes. S4 got his Bat, Akke got his Enchantress, Admiral got his LD and EGM got his Wisp. At that point, it was practically over.

I am so proud of my Jakiro ;~; Still haven't lost a game on him.



Also, Alliance dominated G1 so hard I felt a little bad for the other teams. No pity for PL pickers though. They deserve any loss >:(

Alliance did pick PL tho...

PL is so overpowered that it's stupid. Only way to deal with him is to shut him down early. Once he gets his manta/purge blade, your towers are basically fucked. He gets a tier 4 item? Your whole team is fucked. The only way (that I know of) to deal with a farmed PL head-on is with gyro flak cannon, but come on. Why would a PL take a head-on fight in the first place.

I didn't say they didn't :v
I meant other teams that lost and also picked pl :v

There's a team forfeit function which not everyone knows about. If everyone on your team disconnects from the game, then no one gets an abandon. It's only useful if you have a 5 stack or are playing with very understanding pubs. Most pubs would probably stay in spite so that whoever left first on the team would get an abandon.

--DVSN. I think LGD was trying to figure HOW to defeat Admiral's LD. Like in the game 1, LGD picked Bane to counter LD's spirit bear. But it's not working so well. LGD had a hard time figuring how [A] works. This event gives a big ultimatum for Chinese Dota (specially iG), they need to change if they want to win the TI3.

Regarding PL, any of you saw LGD - Orange game 2?
LGD just let him free farm (He got Diffusal2 + Heart) yet still managed to win with 10++ kill margin. xiao8's Kunkka is beast.

To be fair Luna was also 6 slotted and PL wasn't. Also shadow demon having an army of PL's himself.

edit: that's about as close to an all wins page I think I'll ever get lol.

Hes not hard to deal with, because its obvious as fuck when hes going to get picked and you can counter him easily with the right lineup. And hes not stupidly overpowered. Maybe in pubs where people don't have brains, but you could hardcarry as CM in pubs and I don't see people complaining about that! :-P

Day after day I see people complain about PL and not even notice Gyro.. Its like people haven't read his abilities. Gyro is the BEST hard carry in the entire game, he can win EVERY 1v1 except against Lone Druid, but he has a damn good chance of winning against him as well and its insane to even have a chance against a Lone Druid in a 1v1.

Gyros ult barely has a cooldown and does absurd damage. Not only that, he can stay at a safer range than Sniper while still doing damage, not to only one target, BUT TO THE ENTIRE ENEMY TEAM.


Shitty(:3) [A]lliance getting carried by S4, rare to see such a good player.

I'd like to see Juxtapose get a nerf. Maybe make Juxtapose a UAM/Orb since it procs from auto attacks, I mean that's kind of bullshit that he has an on hit modifier but doesn't get the UAM/Orb on it(Naix too).

They get pretty carried by Admiral too, sometimes S4 does a shitty job and both LodA and Admiral is there to patch it up.

Also, as someone said, PL can't carry alone unless you're in a pub match, if you shut down the rest of the team he's fucked.

I can't decide to either buy the Axe announcer or the Pyrion Flax announcer....

Flax is funnier than Axe, Bastion is more serious than both.
