Ban Odin Heavy Defense ?

So can we expect a reconsideration regarding the Odin ban any time soon?

I honestly don't think so, at least not yet. Currently there is only one competitively viable counter to OHD, and that is D2(G/H)O. It still has an easy time defeating practically everything else you would normally see in a tournament environment. Maybe When J2 comes out In the Random Layer Collection Vol. 3, as it looks like it could dethrone Odin, but I doubt it.

I would not consider this true. D2GO can't destabilize DHD; specifically because of Defense. I would not expect D2GO to consistently best OHD because of this.

Look at the previous page. They can beat it but not very much against above 50% win rate which isn't a very good counter.

The other two combos were DHR and D2HO. I think even the kid that used DHR switched to DHD when he played for third place.

I'm gonna check out another tournament tomorrow, and hopefully a third one on July 3rd.

There's no such notion. DHD is the de-facto tournament combo in Japan, and many high-level Japanese players painstakingly check the balance of their parts to find the perfectly-tuned DHD. @[Kei] has mentioned this in his reports before.

One of the points that was made was that OHD was not only dominating in Canada, but also London and Japan. I suppose it just got disproven or dismissed somewhere in the 18 pages.
