John Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 You can stop making topics trying to convince me to play in ur team africa. I'd like to play with my swedish mates from back in the days. Blewski, Boysarn, Telis Oh and who wouldn't like to listen to Tungvu arguing with just about anyone, would always make the games interesting, especially when loosing :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what i understand Jon + 4 was ntt to good, they just got egon and drake. but i dunno i wasn't on mumble when this tourney happened, I just know that the egon drake lane fed like 4-5 kills but still won the game because well its egon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the accomplishment of us winning was a huge surprise considering the following facts: Me: I had a break between early Feb --> Sep, where I didn't play AOS at all, or any other moba for that matter, I sure played heaps the last month before the tourney but on the other hand Soedenone, had a few games every now and then, but nothing consistent in terms of AOS and pretty much started to get active when I came back in Sep. Shab: Had more hours reading up on the game than actually playing the game, I'm not sure if had played a single inhouse before the tourney. Brew: played about 5 pubs pre tourney Tungvu, keept promising to show up but never did, what a scumbag. However we got great replacement in terms of Chob. Chob: Not sure about his activity, but I'm pretty sure he had less games than Soed and me. Total practise as a team before tourney: NONE Us winning the tourney must have been a big slap in the face for the AOS community.

Marche Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 From what i understand Jon + 4 was ntt to good, they just got egon and drake. but i dunno i wasn't on mumble when this tourney happened, I just know that the egon drake lane fed like 4-5 kills but still won the game because well its egon Not sure who helped you understand that or come even close to that conclusion, but there's a reason that those 5 guys could come back and wipe the floor with the community and it was not egon/drake pickings. Fact of the matter is the mechanics AoS thinks that it teaches vs what gets used on a regular basis in other competitive games is laughable. I'm sure if you looked around you can find the replays from that tournament. It's not hard to see that picking Egon/Drake doesn't win a game. I'm not sure what it is you do understand Quid, but I know it's not hard to imagine that Egon/Drake doesn't win you the draft, all three lanes, nor does it ensure you will out farm your opponents. I don't think picking Egon/Drake assures you change the Meta of the game, or cause a community upset. Really all picking Egon/Drake proved was that a handful of mediocre AVERAGE SKILL NICE GUYS DOTA PLAYERS were able to come back to this game, develop a strategy that was more efficient than anything the inhouse community had come up with in at least 6 months, and use that to beat the pants off anyone that thought they knew better. To top it all off, instead of learning some humility and learning from this experience, it became the general mindset to chalk up this victory to luck or cheese builds, or basically anything aside from admitting that it was completely embarrassing for the community that spends all its time playing this game to get absolutely man-handled by a few people who were playing the game for less than a collective week. Also best team of all time: Dastarz Impious Livingstrong DoxtheFox Kathycakes.

Total practise as a team before tourney: NONE Us winning the tourney must have been a big slap in the face for the AOS community. Its impressive, not trying to take that from you at all. As i said, i was not on mumble during that event, I was simply told the the NA teams divided up there better players into a bunch of teams and was just having fun with it. Like i think whale was supposed to play on Marche team? or something, Then david chan went to play on a separate team cause Alice asked him to. IF the better NA players were on the same team im sure it would of been a better event. Not to say the NA team would of still won. Any way im putting my foot in my mouth cause i was not involved in the even at all. My opinion is prob based off butt hurt na players :D Im glad that you won, Cause i totally loved the post from your team members who stalked the forum with a stick up there butt for the fowling 12 months who felt the need to bring up they won in 8/ 10 post made Edited October 2, 2013 by Dylan Removed uneccesary quote BestZeratul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the EU team, namely shablagoo, had the foresight to counterward Levi with a scanner, and then place a ward further into the levi pit, so that it would not get dewarded by scanning the same area. The NA team later proceeded to scan the exact same area before going for Leviathan, they did not manage to kill the ward, and the EU team had full vision of what was going on, thus they managed to assault the NA team, wipe them, and get Leviathan, the game went downhill from that point for the NA team, simply because they got out flobing played. Because the EU guys were just smarter, and better players, albeit possibly weaker mechanically due to not having played the game for 10 months." - Shablagoo "P.S.

I like how your team went undefeated to the semifinals. Oh wait it didn't. Diipa darks and john were in a 3 team tie John beat diipa Diipa beat darks darks beat john (no tower loss lol) So how to fix this 3 way tie, lets replay the games on a day were the mvp (both opposing teams chosen same player) of darks can't play its sure to fix this problem.

doxthefox Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Quite honestly everyone's mechanics have greatly improved since going to other mobas so I would think of everyone as bad if I were to see the replay of any of these so called best groups. # nostalgia overrated Besides the pro dota players quit the game early on for other mobas and they would wipe the floor with anyone listed here if they played for a few months. #stay humble mynhauzen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestPlayer Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 You know, it's threads like these that pop up every now and again, that keep me coming back to this forum. Me assembling a best of all time team, though? This would be based purely on the players who left the greatest impression on me, for different reasons, but all have immense skill in SotIS/AoS in common: trevize Brew John Shablagoo Tungvu There are a lot of players I feel badly about leaving out, but a team can only contain five players, so... About our run in the tournament, I don't know if much else needs to be said. I remember having an elongated debate with tukey afterwards, where he claimed that although we won, we weren't necessarily the best team. I remember countless of times having been accused of winning by default because of: 1) Better draft, namely consistently picking egon. and 2) Better draft, namely consistently picking drake. and 3) Better draft, namely consistently picking egon and drake. I also recall being told that we won because we: 1) Were better at buying team items, which gave us a huge advantage in teamfights. 2) Were very lucky. Thankfully there are nice people too, who did not and do not say any of those things. At the end of the day, though, everyone should know that a bunch of EU scrubs who were lucky and good at drafting won the so-far biggest AoS tournament to the day. There may have been bigger ones, but none with the prestige of the AoS World Championship Tournament, and none with an equal quality of players. Thanks, buds. If you need me to skill you up in some game, give me a holler and mail me a computer. I will happily oblige. That goes for you too, Quidditch, my man ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But your so out of touch with the game you dont know how to take the advantage and turn it into a victory. Also you view this game as crap compared to Dota or LOL and i doubt you will ever invest your time into re learning the game. But id love it if you could grace us with your near god like skills, in the next tournament, Go rent a computer from a Library or something.

SJInspireZ Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 NA specific team with no chance of happening but would be insanely overpowered? TaK (Quite possibly top 3 of all time in the game in my eyes) LeeHyori (Undoubtedly the top player during 4.0) Fidey (Another 4.0 beast) Marty/Narzak (Both have been at the top since 2.0 from my understanding, 1 is possibly the best Grunty of all time the other is just another 4.0 beast) dde (ex-pro Sc2 player who had insane mechanics) Best team I could see being formed with actual synergy? (SJ exclusive) Advergay SmgQuest Theseus Marty Raphangelo/Laloo (Red Dragon) Team I did see as one of the best was Dastarz's team during 3.0 which had Tak and 3 others whos names escape me but they had a hell of a team for that time.
