Goddamn that game!

 

[Sinny]

Well looks like I was chatting ********

You God damn right!

Come on Na'vi!

 

[iviv]

Alliance are seriously going to regret that second game now.

 

[Sinny]

I just want to see Dendi do this to Loda

 

[Purdy]

Dendi is far too manner for that

His bowing before Mushi was class stuff

 

[Purdy]

GG, crap end to a great series, Na'Vi threw something shocking.

 

[Murray]

Huge plays by S4 to win that game. Those dream coils delaying the whole NaVi team from defending were amazing.

Great game. Alliance <3

 

[Tune]

Lose lane, win game. S4 good player.

 

[Wds]

No idea why navi didnt get back to base much sooner when they saw furion and ck there, seems like they threw that. but fair play to alliance they weren't going to win fighting

Their timing was fine, they stood ontop of each other for TP and got dream coiled, massive throw really, nice of S4 to be alert, was a bit **** otherwise on Puck.

Puppey is total boss

 

[Purdy]

Those scenes when Alliance won were class, must be some feeling.

Na'Vi really ought to have won but they arguably got to the final on a mistake.

Hopefully they make it 4/4 finals next year and 2/4 wins, ridiculous consistency when people start writing them off after shakey starts

 

[Tune]

Not bad at all!

 

[Master_X]

I was too hungover and tired to watch the Na'Vi v Alliance final but will try and watch the replays later on.

 

[Berath]

Hadn't even played Dota 2 before last week, never watched any before this weekend!

Watched what I could last night. Saw the first two matches and part of the third, enough to see it wouldn't be an Alliance steamroll.

Then had to go to bed....damn work, damn NA time zones....

Watching it really worked for a newbie. The analysis of the picks at the start helped spell out hero strengths, weaknesses and strategies that you could then try and see working during the game. They seemed to be good casters.

 

[Aedus]

Kinda a shame for na'vi, 3-2 was as close as it could get, but I knew alliance would win.

Goes to show it is possible to beat them, just not this time.

 

[Vtec9k]

Fell asleep after the 2nd game. Gonna watch the replays but already seen the celebrations of alliance at the end!

Not bad for alliance a nice $287,440.8 each although I'm sure sponsors and management will take their cut!

 

[Tobes]

Surely sponsors don't have a cut of winnings? I mean they get advertising out of it don't they?

 

[Aedus]

Nah I wouldn't have thought sponsors got any money.

Isn't the point that the sponsors give you money/gear, to wear their logo to advertise their business? Wouldn't really be a sponsor if they took a cut, too.

Managers, yeah, they would get some. And I imagine a cut has to go back into the team to fund future e-sports competitions, travel costs, hotel costs etc.

I'd say each player would probably take 75% of their winnings, the rest going elsewhere.

 

[Vtec9k]

I don't know for sure, Alliance are big enough to not need that sort of deal, but it happens in other sports like golf and motor sport.

 

[Tobes]

Been sat waiting for a game for over 20 minutes. Notice I have my first abandon as well but not sure how that happened. I only leave if it says it's safe to and that's only if 2 or more leave before me.

Am I now at the bottle of the barrel for matchmaking now?
