Well, for starters, Valve could easily give LGD.int a Chinese seed ahead of TongFu/ViCi/TyLoo/ForLove/DTClub or whoever else is trying to get that fourth spot.

I've never found arcanes to be even close to necessary on bristleback. The advantage of phase is more than the moevspeed increase, it's letting you dive through creep waves and not get body blocked. Mek would probably be decent on the hero, vit booster and tranquils is still fine even after their nerf (BB gets movespeed from his ult anyways).

A single sobi mask is honestly enough mana regen most of the time (or RoB in lane and dissassemble into traquils, then make vlads eventually if you're team fighting a lot).

As far as it goes, if you are against certain heroes as BB you need BKB - namely OD and SD, heroes who can straight up take you out of the fight. OD is possibly the worst matchup for BB I think.

Is LGD.Int versus RS worth avoiding spoilers for? Close/decent games?

Decent game, some good play. I'd say it's worth checking out. Bit sloppy from tiem to time from each team

Game #2+ Show Spoiler +
Some unconventional picks, decent execution, overall good game

Game #3+ Show Spoiler +
Not really worth it imo. Just very one-sided game

I see FXO playing vs LGD.int and getting heavily raped :d

VODs? Or just saying?


Misery was streaming MM with a stack of LGD.int/.cn and they ended up against 3 players that seemed to be from the new FXO roster (unless they were fake named smurfs) And the LGD stack raped them pretty hard with use of Misery fragging every single hero multiple times and their opponents just being pretty bad.

The difference is not that big though, vanguard is 2225 and armlet is 2600.

Vanguard is a great item to get early on if you plan on doing a lot of fighting/diving without going back to fountain after every fight. The 40dmg block quickly loses its value as everyone gets more levels/items, so don't get it too late into the game.

But the Stout is a guaranteed buy at the beginning of the game regardless, and Vanguard conserves a slot.

Vanguard is good in the kinds of games where you're losing but the action is really tight meaning you can't afford to save for anything and have to continue stacking the shit out of multiple midgame combat items to keep up with the pace of the game. Conserving a slot means you don't suffer the drop in cost-effectiveness that comes with selling an item (especially as the item you'd be selling is probably one that has very high midgame combat effectiveness like Wand.

You're very insightful on many things, but the european games I've seen where they've used vanguard very effectively (even recently), I disagree on this.
Some definitely get it when They are ahead and the enemy doesn't have the money to make the damage block cost ineffective.

I wasn't trying to say that's the *only* time that Vanguard is good--but to point out that the item has quite a few situations where it's quite good, and people who have been saying Vanguard is a terrible item and never to get it are really selling the item short and not really thinking that carefully about it.

I wonder what the invited teams for TI3 are going to be from the Eastern scene... Tongfu, ForLove, DK are all delivering underwhelming performances lately. I mean IG, LGD.CN should be automatic locks. Outside of that it's hard to say (LGDint should get an invite whether they are considered a western or eastern team really).

Vici maybe?

Probably MUFC, Zenith, Orange all get looks too

The "big 3" of iG+both LGDs should more or less be locked. DK should get one off star power alone even with mediocre performances over the year (TI2 invite list showed pretty clearly that star power is enough to get far worse teams into the event). Beyond that, if Valve wants to give a 5th Chinese invite (unlikely) there are a couple candidates, and if not, those teams still have a good shot of advancing through a qualifier spot.

I think it boils down to whether Valve wants to do a 14/2 split of invites/qualification like they did last year, or increase the number of qualification spots to make it 12/4. Because I don't think they'll deviate from having an equal number of Eastern and Western teams. If it's 7 eastern invites my guess is iG+LGD.CN/Int+DK+MUFC+Orange+Zenith, with MUFC being the most likely to drop if it's only 6 invites and 2 qualifiers.

Anyway to clear or remove at least "practice games" from the game/match history list?

Getting through the first few pages is quick but after a while, it starts to take a while to load a lot of the older match history pages.

Do all games always stay in the game history list?

Either way, the competition for the qualifier spot(s) is going to be really damn fierce, because once you lock the top tier teams through invite slots, the second tier of Chinese/SEA teams have a lot of decent teams that are somewhat close in skill level. Based on recent performance, Rattlesnake is probably the front-runner among those teams, but a lot can change in a few months, and we haven't even seen invites go out yet.
