Check out this amazing clash of the elites where one team loves to just gank down the enemy while the other likes to push as if there's no tomorrow. A lot of team battles with huge number of wards and buy-backs involved. You'll also love the neat escapes players make in this epic game!

Match Analysis by MYM || Playmate...

The picking stage was quite surprising since they let us have chen which hasnt been available for months at least. The only pick we were uncertain with was the viper pick, we ran out of time and he was one of the heroes we had in mind but i think if we had extra time we would have picked something else last.

An astonishing game by the best of Chinese (both sides) with unorthodox picks. Days going for a strong team battle combo strat while EHome trying to take away this game with the farm to win concept.

Commenting on the picks, Sentinel's team battles look very strong with Puck, Sand and Silencer conforming that all spells will go off unresisted. I expect Scourge heroes to avoid crowding and go for early blink daggers. Also, taking out Silencer earliest in team battles or a gank before that seems to be best choice for Scourge... I mean you can afford to lose some ulties to gank just Silencer.

Recruitment in process!

I'll get horrendously busy in a few days. If someone is a regular replay watcher and wants to share epic replays with/without reviewing them, I'll be happy to give you the permission and recruit you as one of the blog authors. This is not a job, do it if you feel good helping people or love sharing your views in the public. All those interested can contact me on phoenix.noreply{a}gmail.com with a review of any game posted on this blog. Any of your doubts will be cleared via email / Gtalk.

Regular readers don't think of this as a compromise in quality of the replays posted, I'll make sure that doesn't happen. I would rather not be surprised if someone with great taste of replays and awesome summarizing skills comes into the limelight. :)

What the hell??? Team Nirvana.int and OK disband!

Two top European clans, Nirvana.int and OK have decided to disband. :_(

After the crushing defeat from DDT in F4F 2.5 Finals, Nirvana manager Loveen announced yesterday that Nirvana.int would continue to play under the same tag with two new players removing Merlini and Kuroky from the current roster.

Team OK player Drayich declared his retirement from the game today while Synderen has decided to shoutcast Dota games in future after a break for coping up with his studies.

Excerpt from Dray's blog...

Sadly i have to announce that i will be stepping back yet again from DotA - seeing it as the only possibility due to some personal reasons. OK-Gaming will change a little bit, but you shouldnt give up on that team.

Synderen, as he has stated earlier will take his time off now, for about 3 months and focus on his studies, thats why i took the chance and stepped back at the same time as him. Synderen might come back, but then chances is he will focus on his shoutcastings, which he really loves. And i admire him for his work too. I'm really sorry for everyone rooting for me, but time beeing makes it impossible to do anything else then step out.

Kuroky declared that he would be focusing on the game Heroes of Newerth while Merlini gave an interview to Beast_Pete yesterday saying that he was willing to retire from dota for a long time and it seemed to him that now is the best time to leave with dignity. This news, however shocking to most of us, doesn't surprise me on Nirvana's part. Kuroky has always been suprising us with his decisions while Merlini sounded really sad in his interview with Madmortigan after the finals with DDT.

I HATE THIS!
