Also holy shit those forcestaffs. That's pretty much every game of alliance, to be honest, his prophet is WAY stronger than LD. After the armlet nerf, I don't see any reason to ban LD over NP against Alliance anymore.
Bulldog dominated with LD before armlet bear became known and has done so after it was nerfed. Alliance has repeatedly said they think LD is stronger now because of the radiance buff.
IMO bulldog's LD is even stronger than his NP, which is really scary.

Well, it was a good game at least. DK made a few mistakes here and there, but it looked high-level from both teams. :O
Don't tilt, DK~ Let's see several more good games out of you this tourney.

You can't sell items you don't own

You cannot allow it to go through or he gets an 18 minute midas Radience. LD wins lanes, sometimes.
NP wins games.
NP won this game for alliance - the split push meant DK couldn't teamfight comfortably.

But I still don't like premature GG calls... I do hope you mean the casters' early "gg" when [A] teamwiped first. DK's "gg" at the end was in no imaginable way premature. Well, if the gg is called by casters before the players call it, it's premature. I guess. I mean it was pretty obvious who was going to win at that point, but crazy shit CAN happen in Dota, even though it rarely does.
Casters calling gg (Within reason) isn't really a bad thing though, if it was the game ending point, then it just makes the casters look good (plus helps new people understand at what point the game was finished) and if there is a comeback, then it just makes the comeback much more intense then if the casters had let on that it was still all up in the air.

That's called pooling and it's not allowed/illegal/disabled.

I feel like somebody should try and all push strat or some cheesy stuff against Alliance
Playing standard against them seems like a senseless move plus nobody tried those stuff again them yet so who knows

Summary/recap of
Game1 DK v [A]: The story of 20k supports vs 6k+ supports
1.Bulldog's furi is disgusting -> die and buyback etc. 2.Akke+EGM are insane, whoever got these guys will get to top8 in TI4 for sure.
WHY [A] SO FCKING GOOD.

Didnt he set a "world record" in professional dota for his midas radiance in an earlier TI3 game? I think it was something like 14mins.....

IMO either ban both or don't ban either, banning just the other is stupidity.

meh, it feels like the chinese teams are choking whenever they are leading vs alliance. might be just my opinion though, as others might say it's the great plays of alliance that get them back into the games.
it's probably a mix of both.

You realize that you could probably tri-lane against Bulldog's LD and end up losing the lane? That's how good his LD is. You cannot possibly allow anything like that to happen.
