Matu is like notail, doing all the dirty work for the team. Those guys rarely get the credit they reserve. I mean he is runner up, thats something;)

LFY was 14-2 in groups while Liquid was 13-3.

In mainstage LFY only won TNC and VP and lost to Newbee and Liquid.

Their mainstage wasn't even that impressive 2-2. Liquid was 6-1 at the mainstage.

You're taking too much away from LFY, especially their TI performance, saying their mainstage wasn't impressive just by looking at their record is degrading their team. Game 2 vs TNC, NB, Game 1 against Liquid and VP, they literally stomped the aforementioned teams at that games.

Game 2 against VP, the top tier 3 hold was the best showing of patience i've ever seen, the Aegis steal was easily the best play of TI, the 4 man boulder smash into 4 man chrono was the best executed initiation that won the game.

Game 3 against Liquid, if LFY had the knowledge an observer had, they would push the tier 4's and may have won the game, Monet was an absolutely terrifying carry that went to 3rd lowest to 2nd highest networth in 5 minutes.

Liquid has better strats and individual performance, but LFY has the greatest teamfight coordination and almost always can come back in a game where they lost the early game hard.

Saying LFY wasn't scary at TI just because they haven't won any LANs is just taking away their amazing performance at TI, both in Groupstage and Mainstage.

Which nicely sums up why they should have gotten the biggest TI surprise award. Not saying Empire didnt do surprisingly well, but come on, how many ppl had LFY in their top 3 prediction?

The list is very fair, and I don't even mind who got picked for best match, but I think Ad Finem vs OG game 3 deserves more accolades and remembrance. It wasn't just a great game with a great play, it was also the last match of an era for Dota. The parting shot from 6.x and one of the most remarkable patches for DotA in recent history. It was only 2 before 7.00 came about to shake things up, it really was an amazing way to end an era for the game.

I think, biggest TI Suprise should have been "China" as a whole. That was way more surprising than Empire.

At "Best Play" i was very surprised not to see the Earth Spirit save (forgot the game) against EG, when the nearly dead carry got transformed into a stone remenant and kicked out by allied Earth Spirit.

China always shows up at ti, so not that surprising, even if they were mediocre all year. The Earth Spirit save was by kaka, and while it was awesome, the game was already over at this point.

Best mid is arguably Noone or Maybe. Otherwise I'm fine with this. No carry really stood out for me (maybe Burning at DAC and Ana at the Majors since he often swapped with Notail, but that's biased).
