Yeah a lot of money, 1.4m / 5 = 280k per player, so not bad for a weekends work :).

Amazing grand finals.

Alliance really worked super hard to get where they were. Navi has way more fanboys because they're a flashy, cocky team, but Alliance is just better overall imo. I think people didn't cheer for Alliance as much because they were always the favorites and people prefer to root for the underdogs. Either way, I'm really impressed with Alliance. They deserve what they won

prophet was always good at that, navi almost had it and one thing i can't understand people seemed to be cheering alot more for them, alliance no fans?
the prize is sick as well 1.4 something mil thats like 280k ish for each player and i guess thats one of the reasons dota2 is more successful. 2nd and 3rd were decent as well

anyway for me it was nice overall, watched some games learned a bit more about the game and such (i still dont know all heroes and abilities) but this is a good start for me to start transitioning to dota
there's definite potential in the game and its a lot bigger than hon ever was so hats off to valve i guess, shit2 had a good thing while it lasted

e; talking about split push i remember i played silu back in the day before the nerf
and i solo pushed all lane raxes and won with mega cuz my team was shit and there was no chance to win team fights
people were so mad and flamed me hard for bding but its a great feeling when it works


I've made the transition to Dota 2 over the past few weeks.
I played a few games of it about a year ago and hated the engine, but it seems to be a lot more responsive now, and I can't really feel much difference between that and the HoN engine (HoN still feels faster though, probably due to attack animations).

Also I don't understand the hate of split pushing? They weren't backdooring so what's the issue? Na'Vi over extended and lost their chance to defend.

yea engine is better now, game feels smoother
and split pushing is meh, game was nice but once they raxed top+bot navi were pretty much screwed
they can't farm, they can't really push and they couldn't force a team fight as if they all went alliance could easily throne them
they would have also lost in a base race and they had to make something happen before roshan respawned

i think it was game 3 that impressed me most, i really thought alliance could not lose that one-bear was sick with bloodlust and they had 2 tokens
alchemist changed the game and it was nice to see cause i thought they had no chance to turn it

I only woke up in time for the end of the 4th game. Going to go back and watch Na'Vi vs Orange and then the rest of the grand finals.

balanced random sounds like a gay replacement to AR.. the point of all random is, well, randomness

I feel like it will still give the feeling of "randomness", but without the games of Blood Hunter, Scout, Madman, Nomad, and Night Hound vs. Tempest, Magmus, Bubbles, Lodestone, Pyromancer. You just might know that you are "randomly" going to be playing a support that will later also be decided by random.
