Yep, great usage of black hole and vaccum. Really hope WE pulls back and bring this all the way to game 5.

not sure what you watching but it wasnt in my book... the immue magic ward push with Shadow Shaman + venom is far over since the laning phase quite weak compare to any decent pick. Not even counting leaking heroes for enemy team to pick.... darkseer

thanks for replies lol

why give black AM ._.

Because WE didn't expect to play and haven't done their homework on DotA 2 or the involved teams.

They basically played it like it was DotA 1.

Not one, but two MASSIVE, game changing vacuum black hole combos by mouz. So good to see them pulling sick stuff like that of in probably the biggest series of their life. I don't think ds or enigma is going to get through first stage all series now by WE, they will want nothing of that again.

The second one by WE's top inner turret was really stupid. 4 heroes missing on the map and AM willing to push that deep is a big red flag for the other 4 all being smoked waiting to catch you if you try to defend the tower.

In their defense, they actually stayed pretty far back, but it was just a huge vacuum black hole combo.

They're drafting it like it's DotA 1. Furion/Panda are because they're Icy/Yaodao's signature heroes, and no doubt they've been trying to practice mid Weaver after losing to it two weeks ago in ACE DotA.


So there goes the idea that Dota 2 is the same game as Dota 1, and that Chinese Dota 1 meta-game is going to win them the day?

One fallacy down. I hope superstratan is watching.



You're right. 1 game proves everything. Oh wait, you're acting dumb.

1437 seemed nervous in the early/mid game. Glad he calmed down.

Mouz 3-0 please, my heart can't handle it.

They went with 3 heroes while the two others were bottom. Either they give it up or they come with all 5 heroes knowing that a teamfight is going to happen.

The fact that they only went with 3 heroes showed they were oblivious to the smoke countergank.

I think PB is the only team who consistantly picks shadow shaman. Also since when was lesh a bad pick?

One game shows quite a bit when you look at the substance of the play, rather than just the result. But in the coming days, you're going to see the rest of this play out.

They didn't really even "go in", they were well behind the tower, and more than a blink distance away for AM. Just excellent terrain usage, no jungle wards, and a couple of great plays.

It has been picked + banned around the same amount of times as CK or SD, nothing amazing but far from nothing.
