But wow, give them credit this game for having the balls to level 1 rosh and then pushing it, no sympathy for Titan especially picking Naga Level 1 rosh doesn't exactly take a lot of balls. You kidding? I would say that was pretty high risk for the stakes on the line. If they got spotted and didn't get it, then it would have been likely GG for Newbee It's never 100 % GG there, but it's fucking hard to come back. It's not like NB would have lost 5 heroes. In fact they probably wouldn't have lost any. Worst case scenario, you have some shit skills in lane level 1. Yep, I'm just saying. Even in the worst possible outcome, it's not an ez gg.

Ugh was hoping I'd get a Whaleblade. Just got stache + arcana and some random value items intsead.

I'm not so sure. Alliance's level 1 rosh before this left them with a slight gold/xp adv. even after teamwiping in the pit. They lost because their lanes were complete garbage after the rosh.
In this case Newbee had the lanes after the rosh, if they wipe in the pit with no rosh kill, it would probably be a fairly even trade of heroes and then into good lanes.

Can't imagine how much it must suck to lose to a level 1 rosh when you're 1 game away from main event. Damn, they were probably ready to play their hearts out and they just started at a huge disadvantage to a snowballing push lineup.

They had a fucking AA.
Chilling touch on 5 heroes. You'd need a 5 man burrow into 5 man earth split for NB to lose.
This must be a big joke right? You do rosh halfway and you have 1 guy still tanking roshan and another guy healing up, not to mention that you are down on stat items for a couple of heroes. It's an instant team fight loss once it's scouted.

Because they actually managed to get Rosh. It wasn't a complete failure. If they didn't, it would be over.

None of the skills they leveled were ones they wouldn't level anyway though. NB would have had to lose their whole team to come out behind if Titan went to fight.

In that regard its a lot less chessy than most things since everybody on the team more or less got what they would have in lane and didn't blow tps/extra regen

If the enemy team runs in when all your heroes are half hp from being hit by rosh I don't think you win the fight

They had a ward setup did they not? No way they don't see Titan coming

At the very least, newbee would have some difficulty pushing into illuminate. Anything that buys time for radiance is good, and kotl is great for that

Newbee or Na'Vi? I think Na'Vi, they beat them in groupstage and they're a bo3 team, they usually perform in playoffs. But I'm a Na'Vi fanboy so I can't tell if I'm just biased towards them. Any thoughts?

Whoever goes up close is going to lifted by rubick and bursted down in half a second.

You don't need the better lvl 1 fight to stop a rosh attempt. You don't but if they have the better level 1 fight and AREN'T doing Rosh, you could get forced into a bad fight checking.

Please remember chilling touch was on CD which is like 40s although they did smartly save it until after the treant had scouted to make sure nobody was coming in to rosh unless they were smoked.
