Xiao8, although having excellent ganking sense, either sacrifices farm for early map presence or loses lane due to reliance on weaker laners. This coupled by their tried and semi-successful 4p1 ensures that [A], and other teams that understand the importance of split farming with multiple cores, will run circles around them again and again. This is ironic because when LGD first started playing DotA2, they ran multiple semicarries (e.g. Slardar, Prophet, QoP). I completely disagree that this is why LGD is losing. A 4-protects-1 teamcomp is totally fine provided that mid successfully opens up the game, and creates the opportunities for the team to push the game forward via the carry's powerful timings. But the mid MUST direct the gameflow in a teamcomp like this. A passive/reactive mid simply does not work in the current game. That it doesn't work against Alliance is because Alliance's defensive play is bar none the best in the world--but even then LGD still got those openings today vs. Alliance. They could have won game 2 if they executed better, irrespective of the fact that it was still 4-protects-1. If they held their advantage until Sylar's 2nd item timing, took the outer towers and entered base with Rosh+his 3rd item, it was a straightforward win. | ||
