Zhou's replicate of Alchemist is stronger than Zhou himself.

But that means as long as he can see Hao he is at worst half as strong as Hao. Possibly just straightup stronger though.

This reminds me of a game with Eternalenvy where he kept taking all the farm at a maxed-inventory 8k bank point. Hogging farm for more (10) bkbs is NOT worth it.

So TF really might drop out without winning a single game after that game vs Na'Vi...

Well we haven't actually seen Hao fight yet. In teamfights he always stays back and runs away.

Yeah. Why is he being so passive?

Facing elimination in biggest tournament of the year? Yeah let's not play safe..
There is strategy, too. Mostly positional play in this one. The low kill score tells not only the tale of carefulness but also of very good positioning, and being able to do that for 46 minutes+.. requires a lot of focus.

Feel like TF should just go for the trade then move onto throne. No way iG will throne before they can so they will have to tp back. Now it's a bit late though.

If you look at the items iG went, they went Linkens not only to block Roar but to block any countermeasures against their splitpushing, there is no way Tongfu can catch Ferrari or Zhou if they have Linkens up.

The linkens is one of the absolute biggest problems. Without roar there's no way to catch out storm or morphling.

I'm with you. Always been annoyed by the retarded aggression=only dota faction since dota 1.

sure, TF may have made strategical errors and limited by how they laid out their game plan. but they're pretty much stuck now, and can't fault both teams to play out the game the best possible way from this point on.

this game is 100% TongFu's fault. iG are just doing what they have to do. If Na'Vi or Alliance had the lead/farm that Tongfu did, they wouldn't have backed on Morphling kill in mid. They would have taken first rax 22m 2nd rax by 30 max.

I can't even understand why Tongfu are delaying this game, seriously it's bad.

It's bad map movement/tempo. They can't get the lanes into such a position that they can rax a lane without being counter-raxed by the splitpush.

It's because they don't know how to deal with this properly, which iG is abusing.

They had no risk of being counter raxed earlier. Even without lane tempo. This is just awful decision making by TongFu. If they can't handle the 'minor' split pushing that iG was desperately trying (rubick on bot) they have 0% chance to beat a team like Alliance.


At the time they killed morph mid alc had bkb, lothars, AC, bury, storm had orchid and morph didnt even have his shotgun yet. They took t2 down instantly and a wide open mid lane. A prophet was trying to split push with lothars. That was a free rax they walked away from. They could have had the first rax down at 23 minutes and a more aggressive team like Na'Vi would have done exactly that. This game should have ended by now but TongFu decision making is giving iG an amazing chance.

I just want TongFu to lose, so then we will have Na'vi vs [A] sooner. If they win i will surely fall asleep if the next game will be the same

There's nothing positional or "careful" about this game. TongFu put everything on Alch, iG had 3 heroes pushing each lane, now TongFu is fighting 1v5 even when everyone is there.
Average means I'm better than half of you.
