>TI5, story of underdogs that nobody expected to win actually managing to overcome soulless chink menaces and establishing ppd as one of the best, if not the best captains and drafters and sumail as the best mids in the whole of dota
TOP TIER
>TI3, Alliance taking down Na'vi, both big names, el classico of dota, constant teamfighting showcasing Alliance as a team who had perfect understanding and execution of Dota strategies
OK TIER
>TI2, nobody actually rooted for iG but everyone fucking adored Na'vi, plus the almighty Play
>TI, the original, with fun strats and everyone trying to establish themselves in the game
BAD TIER
>TI7, Liquid winning using a tiny hero pool and nobody actually caring that they stomped a bunch of retarded chinks
SHIT TIER
>TI6, retarded pub clownfest, epic meme strats and a randomly lucky 1-patch team beating a luckier 1-patch team (both of the team names are in the complete dumpster today), no good dota execution just random memestrats
>TI4, le epic meme push and games that lasted 13 minutes at longest

TI7 was so shit
The production value felt like a major, and I blame PGL for it. At least TI6 felt epic.
>ti 6 was won by one patch team so it was shit >but alliance abusing furion and wisp into winning le ti 3 was peak of epik strategy :) at least be consistent also no one liked ti 1, not even the players and liquid picked most of heroes in dota pool through ti 7
Austin Thompson
And that deep sea theme was fucking stupid too. >reddit posts that reddit LITERALLY RUINED the international by asking valve to disable their spongebob meme map >TI IS RUINED BECAUSE THE GAMES DONT HAVE THE BLOWFISH AND ORCAS AND PLANKTON
Meanwhile TI6 had the garden map which actually worked as battlegrounds for a clash of the titans. hope whatever this year's green shit is, that it has a presentable terrain
Jackson Bailey
They should just use Immortal Gardens for every TI tbqh
it's going to be a jungle/dense rainforest themed map.

>I TAKE LESH XD
Justin Allen
at least check facts before you shitpost, EG never picked lesh in grandfinal, they even gave him away in three games
Kayden Campbell
how the FUCK do you deal with a lvl 6 jugg as a melee offlaner? If you go near the creep wave, he just baldefurys, if you try run away, he just omnislashes you when he stops spinning, if you stay near the creeps he just deals massive damage with bladefury and kills all the creeps around you anyway. Do you just have to sit back and watch him cs like a cuck with your thumb up your ass?
Landon Nguyen
yes because cdec cant play them, which is the crown jewel of ppds "master" draft. they either waste a ban on lesh or pick it themselves
Camden Reed
you ask a gank from your supps, maybe your mid
Gabriel Cooper
i don't like ppd much but it takes balls to give away most feared hero of the tournament three times in deciding match, more so if you lost 0-2 to the same team day before
Leo Jenkins
3 > 5 > 4 > 6 > 7 > 1 Everyone losing their shit over memepush was the beginning of the end.
Wyatt Reyes
>brainlet tries to go offlane give it up faggot. If you need to ask then you don't deserve to go chad offlane.
People remember the finals instead of the event. TI4 EG was actually their underdog story not 5.
Samuel Myers
TI4 groups were great. However the main event was so bad that it's worse than every other TI by default.
Oliver Gray
I miss TI4 C9 dotards...
Zachary White
Bro there are 5 sub 20 minute memepush games 4 of which are in the third place and final. People remember that particularly the end of the tournament instead when they think of TI4.
Hunter Edwards
Yeah because only 8 teams made it into the main event because it had the absolute worst structure of any main event in TI history
Ethan Turner
So any christian dance/techno remixes like this DL one? I believe it is what the kids call "lit af" nowadays and I can see myself getting into it
Bentley Ortiz
>groups actually mattering >bad TI6 was the worst format by far.
Elijah Taylor
Reminder that Windrunner's feet are for tender loving and care!
boston major will always have a place in my heart. i went and saw it live on the last day, got balls deep into the ad finem hype, then played 7.00 on the test client all day the day after
They know CDEC can't play lesh, that's why they're confident in letting CDEC have them all 3 games. CDEC can't afford to ban Lesh since they have to get rid of the Naga Techies menace, so they have to always secure the Lesh otherwise EG will have their cake and eat it too. Its a massive fucking draft advantage
Isaiah Morris
Explain how ti6 is any different from all the TI's with the exact same format
Asher Green
Tell me about the music man. Why is he here? Does he hate being surrounded by autists who don't understand music as much as he looks like he does?
Hudson Harris

Xavier Jenkins
Because they did 6 after 5 which I wrote off as "well people are freaked out over 4's finals still". >7 only different because they added two teams to the 16 so two could be dropped from groups Playing only for seeding so you can play in a best of one is fucking awful. There shouldn't be a single bo1 in the tournament and teams should be dropped in pools to accommodate that.
Which hero gets diminished the most in late game after being a god during early/mid game? For me it's Timber. You can bully people during the laning stage and even kill the supports with ease, they will need a 4 man roster to bring you down.
Then you become the ultimate cuck and your 22 charge bloodstone falls down to 4 charges because people lock you down and fry you like a nugget.
>inb4 some Timber cuck says it's not true You obviously haven't played or watched any competitive doto.
Jordan Cooper
So im confused 1,2,3,5 having best of 1's is fine? But 6 and 7 having them is bad?
Gh alone was godly with so many heroes, MC ratting and being a good off laner, Kuro with the support. His AA and Rubick is just untouchable. Also Matu's Lycan and Brood which just spells instant gg. And then there's Miracle. They're impossible to ban against....
do you have any evidence that average game times are shorter? or are you just gonna continue with your baseless spouting
Jace Carter
>stats >not spells good lord the meme about only redditors being left on /d2g/ might be real
Jordan Bennett
>febby
Blake Long
deathball meta is even worse now that supports can mindlessly feed without any repercussions but this is what nostagliafags want right? their epin 1v9 games where only carries matter
Is that what the game was like originally? I'm a newfag
Blake Barnes
are you retarded?
Brayden Brooks
>muh reddit boogeyman bounty runes are garbage now and have nothing to do with xp do they not recieve patch notes in venezuala?
Lucas King
as odd as it seems, this reminds me of pinkerton's album cover
Landon Evans
Whose dick do you think they sucked for that beta key?
Cooper Gomez
>There are no reviews for this product uhh
Charles Price
It's Ghostik
Ethan Garcia
quote where i said bounty runes have anything to do with xp bounty runes are a reddit feature, so are communist comeback mechanics, so are absurd talents and even shrines and so is the scan. hopefully all of them get nerfed to shit or removed entirely.
