is LGD's victory the best underdog story? I felt Yao almost cried during the post-win interview.
Sidenote, this year's TI is by far the worst scheduling/bracketing ever. 1 group bo1s and now split bo3s feels like a joke really. It's a shame thou, I feel this year the teams are a lot more emotional and determined to win(at least the chinese).


Orange, hello.

fy is the God on the other hand.

I am surprised c9 didnt actually let ember split push for a bit. Were they that scared of doom blink ganks? I was really confused they let bat and invoker do so much shit but not an emberr

It's pretty horrible when you only have 1.2k hp and use MoM.

no it's not, it's actually really legit. c9's biggest problem this game was envy who farmed all the fucking time and did absolutely nothing.


How is it legit when he dies during his first lasso.

He has Dazzle, Doom and SK against him, and he decides that BKB is overrated.

what a playa

c9 picked a lineup that required high precision and coordination to win teamfights and they simply did not execute it well enough.

Against a furion getting one rax really doesn't matter.

this shouldn't even be an argument. he had top racks to himself and his decision to tp back bottom to contribute to teamfight that was already over because of VG's disengagement was a huge mistake. did it cost C9 the game? probably not but out of all the things c9 could have done to make a comeback, having a set of racks down before VG does matter.

It's even worse since he activates MoM during his first lasso lol. Really don't understand that refresher choice.

Yea I'm not saying it wasn't a mistake from Envy, sorry should have elaborated. Just saying that I don't think it would have meant that much. I understand why he decided to TP back since trading rax would have been bad for them but in that instance he didn't actually have to tp back to safe the rax. You make it sound like it was an obvious choice for him to go for the rax when it's more miscomunication from his team about if they needed him or not.

I still think C9 can come back and take the series, they kept that game close for so long even though pretty much their whole lineup was countered by Doom and Silence from NP orchid. It seemed like they thought they were more behind then they actually were because not getting BKB's they always do that when they feel they are behind enough that buying bkb would ensure they lost the game becuz theres not enough positive gain to offset the losses. The Sand King didn't really have an impact until later in the game, and if after the 1st items on Sing/bone7/Envy they go for BKB they survive the epicenters in those last fights that were taking them out. They had those fights won, or were trading favorably everytime until the epicenters so it could've done a lot even though the Doom would still be going on someone.

Another C9 lineup couldve been fine being 5k gold behind, the 5k wasnt much. They still at 40+min barely had any physical dmg. BKBs always had them running to the well during the durations. And nothing to deal with bristle properly. They needed a proper carry. Something like a morphling couldve done so much more.

I don't watch a lot of Dota but it looks to me like Cloud9 threw that pretty hard.

they were behind the whole time. That said, they messed up the last fight abysmally. It was just a weird call for the smoke backstab since defending on highground was working ok

They were behind like 5k exp/gold which isn't a lot. C9 had aegis so they wanted to force something. They threw by failing to chain their spells and attempting to defend without Bone7.

It wasn't a throw, it was just lots of mistakes culminating in one big mistake. Bone fucking around after the stellar first 4 min and didn't get dagger until well after sk whereas if he went immediately to his stacks it wouldn't have gotten stolen by the sk. Aui blowing wards on a 100 hp tower for the first bot defense. Envy picking invoker for himself. Lots of things went wrong, that last fight just went the most wrong and was a really weird call.
