Honestly, pretty close to what I saw from EG when they had Arteezy and was top 3'ing every tournament they attended.

They were methodical, took good trades, and sealed the game off of better team fight execution.

Well played.

How about that F-God play on Jug when he made so much space and ended up getting two kills as well. That was beautiful and the next 5 minutes of chat was F-God haha

That movement through the Radiant Ancient/top lane was so brilliant. Dragged CDEC.Y around long enough that EG was able to grab multiple kills as a result. Fun to watch.

The main thing, since I expect ppd to draft wholly within the Meta, is the team-fight coordination, Roshan Fights & High Ground pushing. The RTZ-era this year was marked by a lot of terrible Roshan fights, so that really strong patience in game 1 was stellar.

There was just good control all around, which is really important to see. Along with Zai continuing to play well. His SD was extremely on point.

Yeah good point, they pretty much back to doing that as they know Unigod is good enough to lose his lane and go get shit from the jungle quick enough. Bulba weakness was his farming as 3. Should be good test tonight vs Na'Vi, potential El Cashico between Secret and EG too?!

It doesn't work like that
EG/Secret/Alliance still have a much higher chance to beat Liquid/OG than Na'Vi does
That's why their odds with bookies are much better to actually win TI.

So because
OG/TL >>>Na'Vi
and Na'Vi >>> EG
doesn't mean that
OG/TL >>>>>>EG

at all. Na'Vi just have a mental block against those those two teams and spazz as Dendi himself admitted, while being able to beat literally everyone else.

The bookie odds is set to milk fanboys who don't know anything about betting. EG/Secret/Alliance are the three strongest names in western Dota, they got lots of clueless fanboys and the sportsbooks wants their money
Why are my allies so weak and pathetic?

Credit to Na'Vi, those games where won in their planning sessions. Fear got shut down in lane, twice! That's hard to pull off.

What Na'Vi did was take a page from Wings' playbook. If you have 1-2 decent laners, it doesn't matter the scaling of the rest of the team, as long as you have a combo to shutdown the safelane. Wings kept doing this at The Summit 5, and it's interesting to see Na'Vi adapt this. It's going to be a key strategy going into TI6.

EG always needs a path to their mid-game timings, so hitting them super early is always a way of doing that. Na'Vi put in some really good work in the first 5 minutes of both games, and were able to snowball out of it. Congrats to them.

As for the rest of the tournament, I think it's probably useful for EG, as they'll get more games in. We'll see how things go. Lower Bracket EG is Go!

Yep, EG needs more games. Zai though playing well needs more games vs top opponents. Best of luck to you today!

Is Vod

Yeah Fear had to go jungle as terrorblade and had nothing, everyoine else getting hurt. The most farmed hero both games for EG was Unigod as he was 1v1 lane all time. They should have picked him Natures game 2 and then with the farm he gets they can go with the 3 carry line up. Anyway more games, lets hope they get passed VP 2.0 and then give Fnatic a good series after that.

Im not sure what to think about this... Imo they should beat friends even with half clowny shit, maybe thats just me.
Is the answere realy that they are hiding things for TI?... Feels bad anyway, why would they bother then.

gonna have to go hella hard at TI =/

I'd probably be happy with a top 6 finish at TI, if they could take out a top team, or secret that would be good

I'd say top 8 would be really good and almost too much based on the recent games. We'll see :/

It's a sad day when EG looses to a russian trash stack. Hope they can show something decent at TI.

Yeah yesterday wasn't fun. Was good game 2 and a good game 3 vs Friends but they didn't do anything with the lead they had built against Friends and if they just full on 5 man or pushed more aggressively with there lead they might have had some more chances. Oh well, lets hope they scrim hard vs the better teams that are in America at the end so they can get ready for TI!
