Na'Vi will attend TI5.
Right guys?
this is probably the best you can hope for, assuming they don't disband

This is extremely mild compared to El Classico Na'Vi vs Alliance games.
All out war every game.
We have a lot of diehard Alliance but I never felt the Navi connection beyond that most of us like/d Navi to some degree. But maybe I don't pay enough attention.

There were/are plenty of Na'Vi fans and a lot of Alliance haters(case in point: Technosteve).
You're whining because I added an extra s but can't be arsed to add the accent? tsk tsk

I hate the posing/fakery about it.
And if were truly a rivalry, it would still matter in some form now.
All those amazing matches, any chance of listing some games I should go back to, those classics other than TI?

go have your ptsd about splitpushing somewhere else
People calling Navi vs Alliance el clasico was silly. They were just the top two western teams from TI3 up until late 2013 and had a bunch of consecutive Grand finals matches. Admittedly, a lot of those matches were very entertaining, but there was never really a true rivalry. C9 EG is at least as competitive as they ever were.
I will agree that the posts around it were more extreme then tho. Reading through the thread around TI3 is amazing, so many people saying Alliance are scum.

Split push doto was and remains very divisive. A lot of people do not and never will like or appreciate the style of play. Given Icefrog's recent patches, it appears he didn't much care for it either.
Oh I'm not saying those who dislike it are wrong. Merely commenting that it brought out vitriol rarely seen in this thread towards pros.

I learned English while playing Pokemon when I was 5

What I loved most about Na'vi vs Alliance was the player's friendly rivalry. Bulldog and Dendi tweeting bear gifs at each other, Xboct and Loda wearing the other teams shirt under their jackets etc. Plus both teams always seemed to play best against each other.
I'm still sad that both teams breaking apart post TI4 didn't result in those left on both sides merging together somehow.
edit: mid tide, prayers have been answered.

I like the tide mid. It makes sense against the PA/Wisp combo since whoever's in that lane isn't gonna get much.

Multiple tournaments -- including a league match -- are going on right now.
Also they're dropping lots of frames.

Wow that lag
I didn't mean for that to sound like a brag, it was pure hell at first. Pokemon gets pretty hard to finish when everyone speaks a foreign language you don't understand.

no, no I was serious, wasn't trying to sound sarcastic. I can only speak english, and I am awful at learning languages, so people who teach themselves a language like that gain a lot of respect from me.
What the everloving shit.

I love Aui. Zai is also top tier.
So apparently there's going to be an official Chinese tournament with 2 Western teams? http://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/2ohuoa/dota_2_asia_championships/

Dota is a game balanced around the idea that everything is op. Sometimes it makes for some obnoxious situations.

Loving zai and aui.
I predict... EG AND C9!
I will be shocked if C9 isn't one of the invited teams, they show up to tons of Chinese Events and normally do well.

If money is changing hands - which it probably - is I imagine Navi and a GGA team
If Secret's sponsor comes online maybe Secret, but C9 is already going for i-league, not sure if they will go again so quickly since they fucking hate it
