Arrrrrgh. c9!

Still 4-1 would be solid. 5-0 would have been such a good place to be with the matches to come tomorrow.

I think a 2-2 is reasonable for day2, with wins over Na'Vi and TL.But Im hoping we can take down newbee or dk for a 3-1.I was kinda surprised that we lost to mouz though.Giving the fact that mouz is super one dimensional with their play style I tough we could easily avoid their aggresion and take it late or something, oh well...GL today!

They look really vulnerable to early agressions recently, so I'm not really surprised by this upset (yes, it's an upset to me, and well mouz results so far speak for themselves).

I think a lot of stuff went wrong in the mouz game that was just slightly poor play from c9 and mouz was in position to take advantage of it. Starting already from the first blood on Sing, which could have been easily avoided, some random occasions where Aui went to check the rune without vision only for Fata to be there and get really fed with his Viper, and EE getting caught by several mouz players when he went for a rune. Stuff like that can have a big impact in how the game snowballs in the favor of mouz. I don't think all of it was even due to mouz playing so aggressive, but c9 just being a bit careless when they didn't know where mouz players were.

Although I wasn't one of the people predicting mouz for a top placing, I think it's relatively surprising that they lost to all of VG, Empire and NaVi consecutively. Whether they get to the main event is questionable, but I think their aggressive play might get them wins even over the top contenders in a bo1. I don't think c9 will be the only team they beat.

Zeus just has terrible mobility and horrendous range/attack animation for a mid hero, and gets jumped on way too easily. Combine that with the fact that he needs to stay alive through the fight for his damage to stack up through static field and arc lightning, it means that pro teams immediately jump on him to prevent him from whittling them down. Also mouz made the smart decision of going for a pipe effectively neutering a lot of his damage. He had almost 0 impact that game.
