Argentina DotA at it's best? Maybe yes. :P

Although the skill level of players in this game is nothing near to the ones playing in WDC teams, it's an entertaining game with an interesting ending. :D

Recommended Game for Argentinians ;)
Winner :: ECASA :: Select to see

Can the pushy DTS win against the AoE Ehome? 

The Picks

Lets start with the most beautiful part of this game, the picks!

Ehome expected a push strategy from DTS as we can notice from their picks with mass AoE skills... Fissure – Shadowraze - Frost Nova – zzz the list goes on and on with every hero having some kind of AoE skill! They got blessed with whatever they ever wanted. :P However, I feel wrong about the last pick Razor... although Ehome thought a lot before picking him and I respect their decision, I expected a Lion or similar hero... which could disable ‘a pain in the neck’ Dazzle and insta-zapp Enchantress. But anyways, I think I'll trust Ehome on this. :P

DTS, the masterminds... did the exact same thing as Ehome predicted, but in a totally unexpected way to anyone. I mean Enchantress – Syllabear – Dazzle – zzz, who could’ve ever thought of such a line up facing the proclaimed No.1 team of the world! [Source: GosuRankings :P] Kudos to their drafting!

WDC Analysis by Azarkon (GosuGamers)


!!! Spoilers Alert !!!

Here is an excerpt from a well thought off and very good post by Azarkon on GosuGamers' Forums. I specially liked the way he narrated things about the winner team Nv.cn.
Coming into the WDC, with a loss to How.Korea (not considered a team that Nirvana.cn should lose to) in ADC and Roccat.Trust in the group stages (again, not considered a team Nirvana.cn should lose to), Nirvana.cn seems up to their old tournament-throwing antics once more.
But then something happened. Something snapped into place. Yaphets opened his third eye, Zhou switched his hoe for a tractor, and Dgc evolved into a new Pokemon - not to mention the awesome performances by the Banana Puck and the solid support of Insence. 
Conspiracy theories aside, I think the fact that this is Loveen's tournament is significant, because it motivated Nirvana.cn, a team that is perennially plagued by a slacker attitude towards training, to really get it together.

Just can't wait for the replays. :( and for SMM :D
