Assuming DK was supposed to be the partner, why not pick Sven or Tiny, who do the job better? The wisp pick just didn't make any sense to me. You can't gank against a 5man lineup who just barrels down a lane. | ||

Liquid's entire strategy was the problem, not who wisp was ganking with. Of course it's not like it was impossible to win, but if you need ganks and the enemy is fine with 5-manning, you're going to have a problem. | ||

DK mid was fine imo, the thing is that if they wanted to go for a farming hero to go for midas and couple with the wisp to guaratee safe farm a Sven or something makes more sense. You don't need another ganking hero if you are already forcing their team to 5man. I guess they may have overestimated Kotl's antipush, specially against a bat that was picking him off every time. They also had no reliable stuns to prevent bat from picking him off. | ||

And either way, EG has always done well against Liquid in recent history. | ||

Gotta get pass the 3/4/2/0 syndrome and just get a early wall vs push heavy compositions. Yes that was what I noticed as well. Outside of pickofs, the fights were really close and came down to which team had more overall damage. DS wall gives you the edge in damage. Maybe Bulba needs to adopt Bone7's skillbuild. | ||

Consider the possible lane arrangements: Bat vs TA mid, BM vs DK safe - TA gets crushed, DK freefarms and BM stacks ancients/jungles Bat vs DK mid, BM vs TA safe - DK loses slightly, but stalemates with Bottle, TA freefarms and BM stacks ancients/jungles BM vs TA mid, Bat vs DK safe - BM loses slightly but stalemates with Bottle, DK freefarms and Bat jungles BM vs DK mid, Bat vs TA safe - BM and DK both stalemate, TA freefarms and Bat jungles The average outcome is better if you put TA safe lane, because the safe laner freefarms regardless, and Bat doesn't crush DK as hard if they put Bat mid. | ||

All of them were won by the favorite except for some EG matches. (and staff-cup but that doesn't count) im loving the eg bad rates atm gotta get on that a lot before it flips the other way | ||

And EG has been underestimated for a bit too long so their odds are always very good.EG quickly became quite good, but IMO they're not quite on TL's level yet. They always do better against the US teams though, so if I was into betting, I probably would've even bet on EG. Yes I realize that sounds paradoxical. That's the thing with dota2lounge though, because the barrier to entry is so low compared to real money betting, people don't really think things through too much and the lines are always very good for betting on "underdogs". | ||
