I heard game 1 with Alliance and Na'Vi was bad, but game 2?
My god, Na'Vi balled so hard it was unbelievable. DAT ALCH AND WISP/BATRIDER PLAYS.

I mean game one snowballed slowly into Alliance's favor but game two? Holy pomegranate that was as one-sided as something could be.
DotA 2, The International 3 Thread - Malthe - 2013-08-11

BIG pineappleING PLAYS
SO EXCITED AT THE MOMENT

I COULDN'T ASK LESS FROM MY FIRST TI.
Just gooooooooooooo with the 4th match already!

based na'vi

Welp game 4 looks like it's out of control already for na'vi, that bottom teamfight seems to have just completely thrown them off balance this game.
Edit: Yup, that fight was basically what put the game out of their reach. Pushing T2 at night against wisp and NS seems so stupid.

So sad now T_T rosh bashing dendi gave alliance too much of a way back into the game.
Then na'vi got too greedy mid and sacced two sets of raxes for one rax.
For pineapple sake na'vi. Please win. You had this game completely in the palm of your hand, why get greedy and push mid and then get your TPs cancelled.

That last game and especially the last minutes were incredible.
Congratz Alliance

God damnit, na'vi seriously played so well and dominated nearly the entire game. And then those two set of raxes going down, god damnit. Would've won if they had just gone back, defended all lanes and pushed again. T_T
I just hate this furion split-pushing so much.
Regardless congratulations to Alliance they have definitely played some amazing games.

I was also disappointed with the end of game 5, but both teams played amazingly. Best esports tournament to date.

I wonder if na'vi could've won by just face-rushing the throne after downing the rax, they were 5 vs the prophet and CK/wisp.
But well, i enjoyed this tournament massively and i got what i wanted from it, some super good games.
Especially the grand finals was great.
And maybe this coming year people will stop doubting wether or wether not na'vi is a top team regardless of slumps.
This is going to make me sound like a sore loser but, i honestly feel na'vi was the better team, even if only by a small bit. But i also fully believe Alliance deserves their win, they had a great run through the tournament and definitely played amazingly well.

Me too. At all times during the game I was afraid Na'vi would get greedy/blood lusty that he'd just tp somewhere and get their racks/base. Wisp just made that feeling a bit worse. It's really disappointing to see them loose what I thought was their game, it was going their way at first and it's a shame they didn't get to keep it up. But I can't deny that Alliance did exactly what they needed to win. As disappointed as I am because Na'vi didn't win, it was an amazing game. It's actually what surprised me the most, that despite previous performances

Also, I've slept like pomegranate because I wanted to watch most games. Happy that I can focus on school and sleep now!

That split push, but also that Puck Dream Coil costed Na'Vi the game. This is what DotA should be. Great to watch, and great plays.

Pretty much the final moments of Game 5 in a nutshell:
