its just like people flaming rotk and xiao8 and they got second and first at ti4. gg haters. To be fair, rotk and xiao8 are known for their leadership, drafting and just in general captaining a team, neither of them are known as great mechanical players and they don't play mid which is probably the most mechanic intense position. I believe Xiao8 played mid for LGD in 2013 and more recently for Big God he's not really amazing at mid .. the current mid Maybe obviously plays a better mid than him Xiao8 was a amazing mid, and I believe he still would be if that was the pos he practiced. honestly while he was good .. he wasn't that "good" like the difference between sing, mynuts from the best mids like Ferrari/rtz/others also it's a waste to put Maybe on something he doesn't excel that's like putting suma1l on support or something where he couldn't what he does best
Yeah its not exactly a controversial statement to say that Maybe is a better mid player than xiao8

well out of the two xiao8 certainly the one who knows how to adapt though
not that Maybe has tried adapting but he generally plays carry/mid so why throw him away of his comfort zone ..

Nobody notices when super straight up carries the team, that's just him doing his job apparently. But everyone jumps on him when he underperforms.
Super's ember spirit, sniper and SF were crushing faces during VG's 6.83 run but I guess everyone knows VG is all about dat iceiceice and fy-god.
I slam super all the time, but I do give credit in the few games that he shows up and dominate. I think everyone slamming super recognises that he has his A games. But I think we rather have a player that consistently gets a B grade, rather than one that gets B 65% of the time, C 25% of the time, and A 10% of the time. A player that we can depend on, that won't lose you the game. As I was saying, a consistent B grade doesn't win TI. If he is F- throughout the year and goes A+ during TI, that wins TI. That's an extreme exaggeration obviously but you get my point. And I don't think super "lost VG the game" either - their losses against empire came down to drafts and misplays by everyone, including things that aren't so obvious like vision and team decisions. Nobody seems to be criticizing the captain and drafter even though that's the person who should come under fire first and foremost when teams get thoroughly outplayed - for some reason it's always "super the weakest link".
My point is that the +4 is good enough to win TI. All they need is a solo mid that can reliably do his job. But super and reliability are like opposites. That guy could actually miss razes on stunned heroes.
I don't always blame super for everything. They often do lose due to awkward drafts by fy. I said many times how I feel ever time Vici drafts a relatively early clock for iceiceice. Not that he is bad at the hero, but they expect him to do so much while providing so little.
We all love to see A+ super show up. But when will he come? Will he even show up in TI? Or will not-so-super turn up as he often is these days.

Props to Super, his Alch was on point and so was his Pugna.
And that Decrepify on Fenrir to save his life at 2% hp was masterful.

That was a dominating Day 1 by VG.

That was a sick play indeed.

Goddamn Iceiceice 
And yeah, back to Super... I recall a Dendi and 430 interview back in TI2 (when they were the two mids most talked about by everyone) and both of them said that Super was the best mid they faced (instead of each other).

As much as it's fun for Ice to troll around sometimes. I hope they ask Josh to translate some of the. Hotbid Interviews next time to help showcase the interviewee's personality more directly.

VG What happen? that game2-3 against Secret  (
|
iono what happened probably got out drafted that last game.
they picked ember at the _very_ last second, probably doesn't want to play him.
They need to find a new hero for super, and honestly he could've played sniper, really...

fy still has problems drafting imo

Deleted as wrong info. Yeah, i don't understand their game 3 draft tbh either after that. I mean i understand the fear of DK getting dominated mid hardcore but they understood well they had to sac one of lanes at this point either way.
