Sing probably needs time to adjust, hope that he won't take as long as bulba. Pie does bring more experience on the support role indeed, but he also does random wandering and feeding as often even with his years of experience

Maybe

but i think bulba is more impactfull in a positive way as an offlaner then as an support. Sing is different as he tends to farm less after the laningstage then most other cores. Support suits sing's playstyle better then bulba's imo.

Team Tinker not Team Stinker anymore now with Bulldog and Jerax? They're looking better now.

sadly the team got outdrafted two games in a row

i think jerax have good ideas and is creating a lot of space, but he really need to think again how good skywrath really is. he's first picking it all the time and it's not a really good hero right now

Dazzle countered their plan entire draft plan. Its quite hard to burst a very tanky hero, but put a grave on top of that - gg.
They are on the right path, this team has a lot of potential.

Maybe because he doesnt want to ban brew 1st or second, silence is an instant or something so an asnwer to alot of early game stuff?

Well they let Skywrath slip through the second game and it was devastating. I'm thinking the Sky early pick-up was a way to avoid having to ban Brew + prevent Axe & Skywrath combo and it opens up the door for Jerax's Tusk which is a lot more effective if you can't instant silence him to prevent defensive snowballs (as we did see with the snowball blink escapes). Though I see they picked him early game 1 and I didn't catch that draft.

second game was really about giving skywrath away with heroes he goes really well (axe and zeus, mostly)

Hope they stick with this and don't try to change shit around, give them time and i think they can be a tier 1 team.

we'll see. I think they can gel and become tier 1, the potential is there, we'll see if they actually manage to do it.

Moving Sing off core has helped, bulldog's afk farming is way more consistent than any of the other carries they used to run. But more than that they have clear plans with their drafts. They commit to whatever they're going for, whether it's balls out aggression or careful rat and map movement. And Jerax actually drafts heroes that can make these lineups work instead of the random hodgepodge they used to throw together. I knew jerax was good after Dreamleague but I didn't think he had the knowledge to outfox other top teams

I think the dp pick was bad in the last game. The idea was good its just that dp sucks these days, they could have given furion a go imo. I'd also be interested to see sing on kunka in support role, i think the combination with tusk is great.

It was a hard choice - they had to have something that can deal with medusa - and DP ulty is definitely an option, best pick would've been Invoker but it got banned - Another set of necro mana burn + emp = medusa out of mana, and that is not scary at all.

yea ~ but furion could build necro and split push harder. I like the way they ratted in game 1, I think maybe terrorblade wouldve worked out better for them in game 3, instead of slark as well. Don't forget VP 2-0'd alliance with ease the other day, they are definately going through a great phase, as is russian dota in general so I think the results are promising in the least. We don't want TT to peak too soon, they need to peak between th 3-6 of august :p

I hope they have better drafts in the future , that 3rd game was a auto lose if i ever saw one , i couldnt see them winning early/mid/late game , it was just plain bad.
the second game maybe they couldve laned it differently with 3 on top shutting down the Tide and taking a quick Tier1 top freeing up the jungle , but they got run down very nicely by VP when they played the passive dual lanes allowing Axe to free farm jungle without punishing them at all.

This is the team's first cup together. A respectable win, a 2-1 loss and some cash is a good first 5 games together. I could see this team getting a TI Qualifier or maybe direct(not really but hopefully).

DP pick was ok .. it was because it didn't have gel synergy with slark .. slark couldn't engage at them

DP provides a little bit control and more powerful tower siege than NP. NP can DPS but the lineup wouldn't allow him to anyways. Even slark could not engage properly .
