Why rotk is going BKB? I mean, probably will not matter, but I think would be better make a more agressive build when you have a spectre on the team.

It probably doesn't matter with empower. A RP steal will be better.

That's one sick Spectre.

I can't see DK losing this.

Roshan is arguably a lot less influential then baron.

Baron gives a huge damage and regen boost to the entire team, and combining that with how much damage all heroes on a LoL team tend to do, (mid top ad and often jungle generally have relatively high damage potential) it can often let you win fights you really shouldn't have.

Compare that to dota, where all you get is a single use guardian angel (with a 5s delay on the respawn) and while it can be big, often if the carry is holding the aegis and dies, all his supports can die before he respawns and then he just gets exploded.

Combined with how many heroes are very cooldown limited in dota, (many heroes rely on abilities with 30s+ ulties/skills to be effective) and this Guardian angel isn't even that useful on a lot of heroes.

It gives you an advantage, but it's hardly a situation where you can just start shoving towers and taking fights.

Roshan's value goes up considerably once he spawns with cheese (third death and after) to the point where his influence can't really be ignored.

Why? Long drawn out fights is better when you have a radiance, so staying alive is a bigger priority

Hopefully they manage to rest up, having them drop to vp/zenith just because they're still tired from that game would kind of suck.

He can die in one DK stun though. Doesn't need to go aggressive with spec, just has to stay alive to help dish out damage. Extended fights are what favour DK

This game feels a lot like last game. Just this time iG has no way to go full rat dota and DK has far superior late game. Smart drafting by DK really.

It's not like Rosh is useless (duh) it's just less influential compared to Baron. Think of it like free heart+relic for everyone on your team for a certain amount of time. =D

He needs some survivability item and BKB is cheaper than linkens. If dragon knight stuns him or rubick lifts him then he is dead. BKB makes it so he can dish out tons of dps in the fight without having to worry about his own survivability.

I think the issue is its taking like an hour between every game.. That is what makes these playoffs so long. 6 hours for 4 games?? The games themselves, were no more than 3.5 hours. Thats wayy too long between games.


Get recruited by a team and then play in tourney with no downtime, no pause between games to let your mind drift away and rest for a while. Then come back and well see


I disagree; every other tournament including the Prelims have had about half the time between games.. so why is the playoffs so different?? Not to mention, these teams play 1 series today, not 6 series like the Prelims which took less than 15 minutes between each game. Stop white-knighting things that are obviously an issue. You don't see this BS in OSL/GSL or even D2L/G-1/etc (not including lag/server issues, but obviously thats not an excuse at TI3)
