IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

QoP with early Necrobook probably to counter Tinker's march.

That is genius, multiple necro books to counter MotM. Never thought about that before.

Didn't tournaments used to limit the number of necrobooks to 1, like how there was a max of 2 guinsoo's/euls out for a team?

Why is eg keep trying to run tinker when up to now they never had big success with it.
Tinker has farm, rest of the team is running around with boots only.

at least this time they picked a morph to actually carry since tinker never does.



darer just much better draft and better teamwork.

EG dropped the ball from the first bans..

i mean, you could tell who was going to win in the first set of pick/bans..

Darer first 3 picks: Lycan, WindRunner, Tide..

ok GG go next...


EG needs to give up this cute tinker shit, it's not that good. Or if they are going to keep it up, at least protect your hardcarry.. morph was on his own.. and that dual lane mid.. no go EG, no go.

Yea but a tinker with maxed motm does nothing but preventing pushes. A tinker with laser and rocket can atleast gank and control the game, but with this build they just have to heroes that need farm and zero mid - early game.

I just want to see the 3 necro book kill tinker once.

edit: Yeah I think this MotM first build is just gimmicky. You completely lose out on the amazing ganking potential of tinker for some anti-pushing power. Fast MotM also means no one else in the team gets farm. Meh.

Maelk used to be one hell of a drafter and I loved watching MYM etc, but now I feel like he just makes so many picking 'mistakes'. Letting lycan through then giving them tide + wr is just........meh.

getting tired of this eg tinker shit

it's a cutesy strat that should stay in pubs, idk why they're doing it in comp play. the tinker is virtually useless all of early/mid, where a standard tinker is most prominent

either way, darer manhandled them

navi next!

Did they purposely let Lycan through because they thought Tinker would counter his pushes? That just doesn't work.

I hope this fad is short-lived and EG have learned their lesson. :D
