Empire have been giving DK their best fights in this tournament.

not really, first game was almost a stomp with B-god void godlike, icex3 cleaning the rest etc. much like EG game, more or less.

 

[Adry9]

With DK playing like that The International this year looks like it's going to be a predictible one.

 

[Nymerio]

wow that impale

 

[OldAsUrSock]

DK wins.

 

[Kard8p3]

shocked to see this is still going lol, glad I woke up to this.

I think this Starladder is going to be a wake up call for Na'Vi and Alliance, who I don't think have been practicing very hard of late. Those two teams didn't just dominate TI3 because of the meta. If they get their heads down and work on getting back to that level I think it will be very competitive.

DK are so unbelievably good at counter-ganks. I wish I had ice3 and Lanm teleporting in whenever somebody went in me.

People say that every year about someone and it's never true. Especially since we are likely getting a major balance patch before the tournament

Rubick has better arrows than Mirana.

 

[LiQuid!]

DK is so good they make the games they win boring as hell. I can't tell whether or not it's an improvement from old Chinese Dota which was boring because of hour+ of ricing. Is TI going to be this boring?

 

[Finalow]

gg boys

Alliance was hot in major tournaments last year right before international

This was boring for you? I can't even.

 

[Dec]

Play better than other team
Lose to Ember pickers.

 

[Metroidvania]

Rubick arrows > Mirana Arrows

 

[Razzer]

MMY! hitting more arrows than resolution.

 

[KingKong]

DK are just excellent at everything, they have better players and better drafts than any other team

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Alliance was hot in major tournaments last year right before international

The grand final wasn't a stomp like this one though, and they lost a few games here and there getting there.

 

[Satch]

call gg please make the massacre end

 

[kvk1]

Well, this should be a rude awakening for the Western pro scene.

 

[aeolist]

this whole tournament wasn't even close

i think eg, na'vi, and alliance have it in them to beat dk but they all have to get better in a couple months, dk is already there

 

[Shorty11857]

Has a Western team won a tournament featuring a Chinese team since TI3?

 

[ViviOggi]

I love DK so fucking much

 

[Randdalf]

Has a Western team won a tournament featuring a Chinese team since TI3?

MLG Columbus

 

[Haly]

[Shinypogs]

why was iceiceice not wearing socks?

 

[Procarbine]

Empire had gold lead the first half of the game.

Gold lead or not they were never setting the pace of the game, DK was in control the entire time.

 

[KingKong]

i think eg, na'vi, and alliance have it in them to beat dk but they all have to get better in a couple months, dk is already there

I dont think they do, they'd have to play their best game to even have a chance, and thats gonna be so hard in a 3 or 5 game series

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

DK are ridiculous.

 

[LiQuid!]

This was boring for you? I can't even.

Yes. One sided stomps aren't fun to watch.

 

[Madouu]

Congrats to DK, they were in a league of their own during this starladder.

 

[Razzer]

why was iceiceice not wearing socks?

They make his feet stinky.

Edit: Haly's answer is better.

 

[Haly]

why was iceiceice not wearing socks?

They're his limiters.

 

[Omotesando]

why was iceiceice not wearing socks?

He has sweaty feet.

 

[ElyrionX]

Yes. One sided stomps aren't fun to watch.

What is incredible about these matches is that they actually seem and feel even in the first 15-30 mins but DK just wins one big team fight so easily and you realize that it wasn't actually even in the first place.

 

[Shorty11857]

MLG Columbus

Ah forgot about that one

 

[FACE]

9 matches, 9 victories, 9 different carries.

 

[ViviOggi]

NASL sound guy on top of things as usual

 

[KingKong]

DK was totally fucking around in game 2, they could have had a tryhard draft if they needed to

 

[Satch]

and pugna was the most effortless carry of them all


what a player

 

[Technosteve]

i don't want to see a balance patch, i want to see this patch at TI4

 

[Omotesando]

Those impales were epic though.

Too bad they only could follow up once at mid.

Why am I listening to Saint Seiya music on the BTS twitch stream?
