That rubick play by pas in the last game was really good.
36
He killed the QoP more with Sonic Wave than vice versa :D
15
His score was 11 and 4, great steals, few deaths. He won them that game imo
8
AXE HACKS but not enough. The lack of dunks was depressing.

AXE REPORTS YOUR RARES ARE MISSING.

AXE IS HAPPY YOU DIDN'T BET RARES ON HIM

What does.. Axe have to do with.. rares? Oo
-6
Axe was picked twice by Virtus Pro in a very very aggressive trilane setup (attacking creep wave before it reaches T1 tower). He was considered a poor pickup in the final game, and was considered terrible pick in game 1 by twitch chat because he never dunked (using the axe's ult).
Rares are used to bet on pro matches in dotalounge, where the maximum bet is 4 rares. People say "my rares!" when they feel that the team they bet on is going to lose/has lost.
Axe reports is part of an axe quote: Axe reports: top is missing.
15
So.. instead of watching the game they spam about items.. well that makes no sense, ya sure.
-13
Dota2lounge.com betting site where u can bet items on the teams before each game. Erry1 bets rares cause thats a decent currency.
1
lumi was crying the entire game 3 and 4 for the lack of dunks, tears were shed on bts studio
6
How was he played and how did he do? I plan to watch the VOD sometime, but just want a brief synopsis.
3
He was played in the 4 role in an aggresive tri in game three. VP won that game. The next game I think he was played in the 4 role again but I was afk until about 15 minutes into the game
3
I always tuought of playing him as an aggressive tri as a farmer with a solo lane carry like weaver
2
Alliance used him like that with a Dazzle and Shadow Demon to fill out the aggressive trilane, Luna solo mid, and Prophet top with an early roshan.
3
He didn't farm but after 5 minutes he was in and out of the enemy jungle a lot. Also never got a blink and took his first level of call at 9 or 10
1
Game four, the agg. trilane failed hard and Axe just struggled to get a Mek up.
Was played as a support for a Razor.
1
Mouz has been playing some impressive Dota of late. I hope they do good at the International.
17
They really have. If there's one thing I might criticize them for, it's that sometimes their teamfight execution is a little off, but they've had good drafts, solid laning phases, and strong overall strategy.
6
I think the one thing I would criticize is that they are very predictable. They always play the same strategy with very minor variations, similar to Alliance in a way, but sometimes not quite as strong in the execution, just like you said. I'm still a mouz fan, though, especially when Fata- goes Dagon 5 on Puck.
4
Since i watched their Dreamhack recap i'm their biggest fan. Such a shame that it's not available in english. Their Dreamhack stories were hilarious and gave a good insight. Especially their story about that fnatic LoL player (their toplaner) who wanted to beat up Fata because he made out with some girl from the players party (1h52min). The result being 10 LoL players against Paisy and Fata and how Fata had to leave or otherwise lots of LoL players would have killed him for making out with the women from some LoL toplaner.
3
Yeah, MOUZ is on a tear. After TI2, I thought they were one of the worst well-known Dota teams, but they are playing next-level dota lately.
I was really hoping this was Dignitas' year. They were doing well a few months back, but lately they just look mediocre.
I don't know who I will be rooting for the most at TI3. Probably Team Liquid simply because they're American.

GOGO MOUZ
1
Much respect to Virtus Pro for their balls to the wall playstyle. Plus Lumi and LD were even more hilarious than usual.
10
I've come to enjoy LD and Lumi (LD specially) more and more because of their humour, they easily turn a "boring" match into something that's fun to watch.
6
I doubt I could have watched the 95 minute match without Lumi and LD.
6
I really dislike Lumi, and LD isn't the greatest for me either.
I was watching one of their games in the past day or so, either mouz vs fnatic or mouz vs vp, and it took them 15 minutes to figure out what pl should build if not butterfly (radiance).
Also Lumi says "hold that thought" approximately every 3 minutes. I can't stand it.
-5
To be fair, "hold that thought" is a polite way to interrupt his co-caster when they're busy analyzing and quickly need to switch to play-by-play for a gank/teamfight. :D
That said, he could probably use some different phrases for that too.
6
I understand that it is kinda necessary, but come on. "Well, wait right there"
"Wait, Over here!"
"Hold on, there is a fight mid!"
Also he says it in the middle of nowhere, with no teamfight or gnak going on
0
ye , fuck your opinion man...
2
Yeah, the only reason I can stand Lumi is because of his personality but in terms of casting he's pretty bad at it, at most I like to see him as the co-caster who doesn't do play by play at all. LD though is really good IMO, but it's just tastes I guess.
0
Yeah I love them too. But LD seems like a giant racist douche sometimes and Lumi's accent gets agitating even though he was born in A'murca.
-3
Just wow. The last two games where among the most entertaining matches I've seen in a while.
7
They're on a roll lately, and just in time for TI3!
edit: grammer.
7
I think you mean roll, Ricky.
2
Mouz and Alliance have a very similar playstyle, not the most entertaining but effective.
6
I totally agree with you and I am a big fan of Mouz but sometimes their games are not very entertaining
3
i find them both highly entertaining. [A] even more so than mouz
2
I find picks like Timbersaw or early Roshans (well, they don't do them often, but when they do it's crazy) pretty entertaining. Every team has their set of heroes they like to play. Na'Vi for example picked SS + Naix, then Gyro and now Alchemist pretty much every game they can. People don't hate on them, because of their ultra aggressive style and of course, like many teams, they sometimes pick something really unusal aswell (like that veno ursa potm). Even Quantic which is considered of the monst unpredictable teams has their set of heroes, like Treant, OD and mb Pugna. It all comes down to the playstyle, some people like watching 40 mins of farm and then 5 epic teamfights and some like 20 min games.
1
Note that I was indeed playing about playstyle not picks. Na'Vi or Quantic playstyle or VP's appeal to me more because you feel there is something on the edge going on and it's beautiful.
1
That last game went longer than expected. VP had some good fights in there as well. Impressive Rubick by pas. Too bad that Saga didn't cast that game he'd have liked it.
5
Game 4 was literally throws from both sides. Overconfident Black, no true sight from VP, all sorts of crazy shit.
5
Yet all i could hear from the casters was how Black never makes a mistake.
3
Welcome to Lumi
7
in blacks defense his game senses became much better in the recent months. not so long ago every early smoke gank on him was a success and now he knows (more often) when its getting dangerous for him and backs off.
0
I can't tell if people are being truly innovative or they're just being wacky to throw off the competition before the international :/

Ha, you're right. 6 games back to back yesterday and another series of 4 today. And if that wasn't enough that crazy 90+ minute game...
1
4
I feel like I have dunk withdrawals
3
Mouz did it the hard way coming from the losers bracket. Overall I think Mouz______ deserved to win. Surely they made mistakes, but the plays they managed to pull out were equally incredible.
Congratulations!
2
Game 3 was amazing. One of the best games I've watched this month.
2
in that last game pas was playing a better qop than tmw was
synderen impressing as well especially on nyx, mouz supports so good

Which game would you suggest?
If you only have time for one, game 3 was pretty crazy. Otherwise just watch the series.
yeah was about to say, game 3 was such a amazing crazy game. Watch it!
One and two were OK, but three was mayhem and a ton of fun to watch.
I was gonna point out there was no Game 5 but then I noticed what you did there. I'm stupid.
Yes
