i think if VG go for super push Newbee can just go for the same and try to match the push head on.

Maybe even draft KotL + PL.

Still a million times better than chess media. Now those are some painful press conferences.


Agreed. This is still better than any Magnus Carlsen interview.

If there is anything I can appreciate out of SC2 tournaments is how they feel much smoother and less awkward than TI4 overall.


I think that Dota tournaments lately have made a new shift in focus towards player publicity and airtime outside of the games they play, which does expose the fact that they're just normal people like us who can't act as comfortably or appear flawless in tact / speech on demand in front of a camera. It's not that bad IMO, we really get to know how players are like a lot better. I know seeing PieLieDie feed at Mario Party for 48 hours straight did make me like C9 a lot more.

Take out furion and lycan -- first ban or first pick them. These two are the biggest pushers in game


We've seen so many games where they take highground before 20 minutes without either of those heroes, though.

Just pick counterpush heroes and a better lategame than the other side. Don't be so greedy. Well you can get away with greed but read the situation.

And hope you can hold.

I think you cant simply blame the void pick for EG's loss. I mean it worked out well in the 2nd game, why not go for it in the third? I feel what lost them the game was not giving it to universe

Have two team fight ults with massive cool downs is what killed them. Once they used them, VG just walked down mid. Also not protecting their jungle from getting WTF warded to death hurt enigma to much. It was as a super greedy draft and one that started out super greedy, since they locked in void and enigma first.

They could have drafted DK and been ready to party every 70 seconds. But they decided to go for super late game glory and got rekt.


They had enigma and void in the 2nd game as well and had the same issue. But universe chronos kept them in the game
The problem was midas alch and mason void

No, its going for the same draft twice in a row and expecting the extremely skilled professional team you are against not to catch on. Even if they put Mason on that void, I don't think he can save that game. They got out drafted and out played hard.

Well if ur Enigma is level 2 5 minutes in and stacked ancients accidentely(if it was on purpose I have no idea what his thinking was) that doesn't really help either.

I am pretty sure they knew their jungle was fucked or was going to get agroed to hell. They had no ability to protect him from getting rekted in jungle, so they tried to have him stack. They drafted greedy and tried to change course, but it was to late.


Kipsate was probably referring to enigmas inability to get anything out of the ancients if he stacks them and therefore screw him even harder. They could have done it together but that is not really an option against VG


I strongly believe Zai's Enigma play was the major factor in the downfall of EG in that game.

He had something like 0 last hits 4 minutes in.


that happens when VG gets like 3 wards in EG jungle.


Actually it doesn't.

he had ZERO last hits. ZERO.

He failed to farm the ancients, he screwed up. He failed to get anything out of the game for 4 minutes. Not the enemy jungle, not the easy pull camp, not the ancients. Nothing.

I know rOtK is the face of VG and all but it would be nice if they could get the rest of VG to talk.

Pick heroes with ranged AoE and counterpushing skills and don't buy Midases a minute before they're going to push your rax.


Lina and Crystal Maiden make their triumphant return!

and now you have lina and cm on your team

People who think this is awkward have never watched a sports press conference before. It's not an interview, it's sitting there waiting for dumb questions.


yes but you almost never see a full press conference broadcasted unless you are on a very particular channel. Main coverage of events might give you one or two interesting snippets of the press conference but never show it in full length because as we all can see it makes for pretty terrible entertainment...
