I kinda want a nerf to NP teleport maybe 10 longer cd at all levels or taking the mana and going on cooldown when you use it, also a nerf to 5 man dota would be nice.

So you want ot nerf 5-man dota by nerfing one of the guys who makes 5-man dota less viable?

And I think that 5-man dota is by far better than having loads of 4-protect 1-farms rice chinese style or push fests where a carry can't see the sun.
What I'd love to see though is more heroes that are strong enough to stand against or even beat a trilane by themselves, like undying. Trilanes are pretty fun, yeah, but only if the guy or guys against them can fight back and not just stay crying under his tower while all the creeps are pulled and denied.

Zenith vs VP, the first lower bracket match between two teams that did terribly, had BY FAR the most amazing plays in any game in TI3.
LGD vs Liquid in the lower bracket was amazing as well, a must watch.
Game 3 of the grand final.

The other one i would count here is Burning Anti-Mage showing [A] why his Anti-Mage is feared. Second game between DK and Alliance in UB.

Zenith vs VP takes the cake. Both teams were ANNIHILATED in the tournament, with no chance of winning the finals or even getting there, but the individual skill in that game was through the roof.

So my friend is attempting to join us with his laptop. Unfortunately, it's cutting part of his screen off and we've tried all combinations of resolution and aspect ratio and it's still not fixed. Any idea how to make the game playable for him?

Yeah, not working. He's stuck on the tutorial page, saying there's not button in the bottom right corner but he can see the logout button.

I don't really have time to watch all or even most of the games in the international (due to there being so bloody many of them).
If someone could say which 5 of the games were the most nteresting/most suprising/awesomest it would be very much appreciated.

Watch the very final game of the grand final at least.

Also, Game 5 of the Grand Final. It's cliche, I know, but that game was amazing. Several of the grand final games were one-sided stomps, but games 3 and especially 5 were intense.

My favorite ones:
VP vs Zenith
Alliance vs LGD
The grand final games are definitely worth a watch, specially game 5.

Get lycan, mute your team and start split pushing like a madman while you don't hear your team shouting at you for not helping and making it a 4V5. Either you split their team apart and your buddies can kill one of the groups, only one guy goes after you and you can eat his face off while your team stales the other four, the enemy ignores you and you take their base the hard way, the whole team goes after you and your team can capitalize on it or your teammates are useless, decide to go 4V5 and feed. Other split pushers also works (Pugna with BoTs is fucking awesome for that, specially when sieging high ground. Add blink and force staff for even more fun).
You could also get a guy who instawins 5-mans on pubs. Warlock or tide work. Just make sure to go against their 5-man as 5-man.

If you want to deal with the cow, just 5-man. Or get blademail. Or get rubick. You will always get a really good spell from him.

[Alkhemia]

You know what pretty fun being earthshaker on dire and pulling your bottom lane creeps into the ancients.

Wards and tp scrolls counter the space cow. Which is to say : Pubs get destroyed by space cow.

I personally find Naga Siren's Ensnare to be a little ridiculous, since it goes right through Linken's Sphere and BKB, but I suppose that's the draw of the hero.

As for preventing five-man DOTA, Windrunner's pretty good at that. Powershot can eat creep waves at level 4, and her ultimate can put enough pressure on a tower that someone will usually TP to stop you. (Or let you take the tower, which is neat, too.) If they move in, Windrun the hell out of there and go be obnoxious elsewhere. Or tie them to a tree while your spacecow charges in and eats them. Mobility, man.

However...naga siren can hurt your own team quite a bit...if you get a great initiation then your own naga walks up singing causing the fight to reset because the enemy team has a brief pause to plan their move...dots and status effects still count down while under song...but there was a match in ti3 that naga ensnared the courier giving an easy kill of it.
