Seriously though, blink in by Nyx and Xiao8 easily activates BKB in time but Hao is asleep and doesn't bother and then they lose top rax because Hao is dead. Regardless, Newbee win the fight mid 4v5 and decide to chase to T3 and manage to fucking lose advantage again.

Just really incredible from a team that's supposed to be the most disciplined in the world.

You forgot about BM, 2 hexes + roar is either AM is dead, or he escapes, but all his team dies.

No difference really.

Well OK maybe I'm going overboard.

But it's a Xiao8 team! And Xiao8 was the worst offender, so. . .

Rephrasing it as lack of an instant antipush ala ES, Kotl etc.

They have one BKB-piercing spell when all three cores have BKB.

Indeed, if you dont have vision of the BM prior to him casting it, you wont see a roar coming

2 Melee cores against skilled NP and Invoker can't do much.

VG got themselves a very good draft which is extremely hard to beat mid and late-game if you don't shutdown the Invoker with Alchemist as your number two.

The incident I'm talking about was a blink in by Nyx, as I said. Xiao8 easily had his BKB up, Hao had even more time and failed.

That's the thing that makes Scythe the strongest item in the game. Abilities like Hex or Roar give you instant disable. Does'nt matter if you have a BKB, as soon as you get hit by one of them, you're dead from the follow up chains. Sure, you can try to preemptive BKB but that's a really hard decision to make because once they see the BKB before the initiation, VG simply backs off. You can't just say "oh he should have just used bkb". You saw how well that worked with other Newbie members using preemptive bkbs.
VG was going all-in focusing down the AM, since hes the only one they cant kite. If they fail the initiation they are not committed to the fight and can run away. If you fail your bkb usage (ie use it early) then you are committed to the fight for the next few seconds.

Like I've said from the beginning, I was criticising a specific reaction to a blink initiation by Nyx, not a Hex or Roar, so. . .
