The problem is, Alliance can't play any other heroes for shit. Ban out IO + Furion, and everything goes downhill for Alliance. Also everyone needs to understand that EVERY team reserves their most prepared and best combo/strat for the real matches or at crucial matches. What pisses me off is that Alliance, in their very own crucial match against EG, took the IO + CK which they used in Ti3. The team must seriously be retarded, if they think they can just pull out the exact same strat a year later, despite the meta changes, and attempt to win again just by that. I mean seriously, what were they thinking?

What is Meta?
If they had won using the same picks, all of a sudden that would've become the new META.
They shouldn't have shown off that blink+orchid NP at ESL. They scared the other teams so much that they never got the NP/Io pick throughout the whole of TI. Oh well. Maybe next year they'll come with something better.
What I'm looking forward now is EG getting assraped and kicked out somehow, by anyone. Though it's kinda hard to imagine. Maybe DK can do it (I'd say IG but they might be going up against NaVi and well.. I like NaVi
).This has been the best TI ever. So many heroes picked. Who'd have thought Sky and Razor would become so famous lol.
yes... only way na'vi can make it to top bracket is by topping this bracket... meaning winning every single one of their games including IG (which i don't see happening)
What i essentially mean is, attempting to use the exact same strategy that they used in the grand finals of Ti3 again a year later, isn't exactly, in my opinion, the right way to go, i think it just shows how less Alliance has progressed as a team, and how in-adaptable they are.What is Meta?

Out of the top 10, 5 are chinese teams. Pretty damn sick of it, i hope Titan crushes Newbee tomorrow in a battle of history ( Titan has 4/5 of orange players, while Newbee has 4/5 of Tongfu players, and orange knocked out Tongfu last year ).
But they won't be eliminated will they?
They can beat iG.. It's going to be hard, especially given how xboct's role keeps changing every game as opposed to being the prime carry. NaVi need to get their act together and give us the great dota that they're known for.
the only elimination possible in this round is in that Titan vs Newbee game.... where hopefully Titan will knock Newbee out
Man, I can't believe NaVi already got kicked in to the loser's bracket. I have to say, why they keep giving XBOCT Razer is beyond me. He just gets that hero, regardless of whether or not it works with the lineup, and then he just proceeds to feed with it.
What the fuck is up with the Razor pick for XBOX? He was basically absent from the game. They need to have some faith in him and give him back his hard carry.
That second game was just brutal. Brutal.

Techies isn't available for PvP yet (unless its a lobby game). It has been in the game for quite a few days now, they just enabled him for that game via console commands.
Anyway, sad to see NaVi go like that.. but they didn't play well.
iG.. Not sad to see them leave. Now I want Newbee to win :tv:

Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming. -
SolitarySoldier:
if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff. -
SolitarySoldier:
Phil keeps talking about breaking barriers to gaming, making it accessible on all platforms yada yada, while killing competition and creativity at the same time. the fact that i actually believed him for a second lol

SolitarySoldier:
"These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out. -
XPremiuM:
They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

XPremiuM:
What's the f*** is wrong with them? I mean really? Have they completely lost it? F***ing retards.
-
XPremiuM:
So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
