Alright!
New day, new match.
What can we expect from Fnatic?
What heroes do they like?
What kind of style do we play to put them out of their comfort zone?
We're not out of this yet!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit: I see they pick a lot of Batrider!
They also seem to like Shadow Demon (62 % winrate) and Riki (50 % winrate).
They've also played a lot of Timbersaw but lost most games on it.
They've won 3/4 on Mirana and every game they've gotten Nyx Assassin.
Last month they've played 7 Nyx games with 85 % winrate
They've played alch 4 times (50 % winrate) and Slark 3 times (66 % winrate).
Curiously they've played Invoker 4 times and lost all 4.
That's the result of a 5 minute Dotabuff sweep. Anything else in particular to look out for?
I've seen very few of their games. What style do they generally look to play?

Sad games, they just look terrified.. Drow strat with no pushes. No smokes or aggressive moves at all. They basically played dota on 1/4th of the map. And don't like the radiant pick, they don't play it as well and their ability to rosh is bad to begin with..
They way they play drow does not work.
They dont push early and they give a lot of space and farm to the offlane which results in no space making for drow at all.
Loda finding farm was quiet difficult.
If they really want to stay with drow picks, they should study other teams that perform good with.
Alliance should go for aggro trilanes, they re good with, and they should stop playing batrider mid, it sets pressure to loda and bulldog being the real core and loda performs not that good the last months.
Bulldog really looks stable, he always finds farm and got super efficient item timings, but they cant get a lot out of it, as long as their safelane gets no timing for the game.

EHOME used SK as a hero that pretty much controlled the mid game tempo with an ulti that has AOE so their late game carries (mirana and sven) had an easy time in number game 2.
I suggest Alliance do something similar. Magnus, tide, SK, venomancer, DP or OD (Or even visage mid, super strong but rarely used) on s4 for that AOE damage mid game they need so Loda and Admiral Bulldog can go late.
An maybe stop picking ogre and get warlock or riki instead.

You really think it's wise to completely 180° their picks in the middle of the biggest tournament of the year?
I would maybe agree if they were up against EHOME again where normal play apparently doesn't work.
But against Fnatic? No, then they're way better off playing the style they've practised the past few months, perhaps with a few (!) tweaks.

can't we ban this sd ?????
|
they look like yesterday, playing pussy dota, pick early combo do nothing let sven farm. Am so sad, i can't take this anymore, guess i won't watch game2.
|
They don't play dota these last 3 games, just defending themselves into losses... Most passive and boring games ever, no cajones at all :/
Hope they wake up and actually start playing DOTA.
|
So they did pick tide for mid game control but chickened out when sven was split pushing. Should have put even more pressure right away after getting tier 2 bottom tower.
|
Comfort picks time now?
I am dissapoint
hoping for curveballs
|
it seems to be working though
edit: or maybe not, this is way closer than it should be oO
