Did he get extra distance on that leap because of the spot it landed on?

If the game is put into a position where Xiao8 has to farm, the game is lost.

There's a mis-attribution of roles here by LGD because Xiao8 is the one who has far better sense of ganking/gameflow/tempo-carrying ability, while Yao is a stronger laner and has better overall management of his own tempo and farm. So an arrangement like the one they had this game is destined for disaster. I've said this for months, and I changed my LGD fan icon over this shit. I changed it back when they started putting Xiao8 mid again, but when they come to TI3 and pull out this bullshit that clearly didn't work months ago, it's insanely frustrating for me as an LGD fan.

LGD. Just fucking put Xiao8 mid. Just do it. Even if he loses his lane, he will set up the rest of the team to win the game because he's excellent at finding opportunities from behind like that. Xiao8 getting FBed is good luck anyway. Even getting Xiao8 solo killed by s4, you guys were the closest team in the tournament to beating Alliance with Xiao8 mid.

As much as I agree with you, I'm betting in their scrims xiao8 couldn't make those big early game ganks work the way they used to since all the other teams were ready for it and that caused the role switch.

No western team brought something completely new to this tourney either.

Really not sure how the chinese teams get to this stage tbh, seems like a chaos in their circle since this march while TF (being the inconsistent one) and DK get to pull their shit together, DK played so damn bad back then but i have been believing them and they really come back to their top form (i wouldn't say their best form though).

Suddenly I am so glad that Azarkon is banned, by a non-dota2 mod lol Really have no mood to see his post right now.

I'd give a small edge to iG if they get their shit together and a gigantic edge to Zenith if they don't. Zenith perfect team to ruin any kind of attempt at getting shit together tho. =P
