Believe in EE.
That Riki pick didn't really work out given how behind Alliance were.

This series is awesome.
Man, if the rat is this exciting, I say let every game be a rat fest.

WOW this series is amazing so many good plays.
Valve posted the Ti4 info http://www.dota2.com/international/format
only 8 teams at the main event this year, but on the plus side matches start in just a few weeks

Rat brings on the tension. I'm all for rat, it might not be viewer friendly (for most) but it causes more reactions and can bring out the plays. The game was so hype, man, I love Dota.

I Wished C9 played like DK were every player can play different positions and heroes.
Alliance's rat is different from EG's rat or C9's rat. With a ratter like Naga or Tinker, you get to eat your cake and have it too. Once you make it pass the laning phase, you can rat forever with mapwide push, good ganks, good clashes, strong cores, whatever.
Alliance's rat is built around disrupting the enemy's positioning to go for kills. If fights are lost, then Bulldog takes a tower to even out the deficit. It's very proactive, far more so than killing infinite waves of creeps. Alliance is always looking to do something with all that mobility, and they sacrifice a lot of other stuff for it (burst, clash, cores).

The only thing that could top this series of, for me, is Alliance picking PL in Game 5.

Nope the only thing that redeems envy is a ti4 finals win vs alliance

Bone7's LAN jitters are finally gone it seems. He's been playing great the entire tournament.
Now let's see him not getting the passport right for the US...
Btw, the International this year is much more convoluted than the last one. But at least every team will play each other.
This is a terrible idea and you should feel bad
Fuuuuuuu. Gonna have to go August-end of the year with so little PTO left =/
Alliance bringing the bling prophet back in style.

I hope you mean a solo win vs Alliance whilst he and his PC are strapped to the wing of a plane.
I think so, Bulldog's ability to disrupt ganks/pushes with his flying rat feels really similar to him disrupting lanes last TI.
I think the big problem with almost all cloud nine players is consistency, pretty much all of them except for aui2000 have games where they are great and others where they throw,
think aui is easily the strongest one on the team, with pieliedie being generally the weakest player on the team.

I thought it was already approved and done with? I could be wrong but I swore I read that somewhere.

He is also the weakest Mario Party player on the team.
They should make an anime out of that
This thread is going to blow up during the TI finals.
I think we'll have a separate thread for TI.
