I will name a few teams who i consider to have the best drafting.

Team secret: They dont just pick the most popular heroes, instead they pick what they consider strong themselves or what they are really good with.
They are usually ahead on the other teams in rediscovering heroes like they did with elder titan, dazzle and recently they have been picking disruptor and a few other teams have picked up how insane glimpse is.

Evil geniuses: their power lies in their smart laning and their signature swapping the 1 and 2 position in lanes. They are really smart at using strong duallanes, usally around jakiro and inventing stuff like the offlane jakiro.
They are also good at playing greedy since Zai is so insanely good at getting farm as a support.

Vici gaming: They usually have some more standard lanes with some signature heroes like timbersaw, exort invoker and ember spirit.
If you want to see really solid play with some more solid lanes and strong ganking they vici is the team to watch.

Secret-- This I recommend. They explore other heroes than the normal 'competitive' ones, and have really great teamwork.

VG - Very solid team. Very patient.

EG - Geniuses. Actually. It's really hard to beat them lategame due to their efficiency.

you want to look at drafting?

western scene

watch games drafted by

Puppey

Loda

^ these two .... insanely good drafters. one of whom has now got a draft/gameplay simply known as ..."The Play"

for a lot of TI3 the naga siren darkseer combo was considered OP broken needing changes then you add a tide hunter into it and boom ...instant teamfight win. puppey let IG get all three in the draft .... ALL THREE u should have heard the commentators

"oh no what is he thinking this is going to end so badly " blah blah blah ...

then this happened....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ldq1afiKQb8

i get chills watching it.

Loda ... this guy is just steady as a rock ... and no matter what ... you cant predict what he will choose... his drafts are legendary for his bait bans and bluffed picks .... huge mind games captain.

i dont watch much Chinese scene so cant help u there

but for another great drafter maybe Fear would be a good one to look at as well.

I WILL DESTROY YOU ALL.... WITH FLUFFY BUNNIES

Naga dark seer combo was TI2.
TI3 was the reign of batrider, wisp naga support and alchemist
