Animation wise, it's coming from the sky. bristleback reduction is determined by relative hero position, regardless of projectile (e.g. a necro death pulse that somehow got all the way around and hit from the front could still be bb'd)

Was interested in watching Rave vs HGT just to see if Rave would win.
Then Axe+Troll+Slark vs Dusa happened.

I think Bristle normally gets secured with Wisp in this tournament if Wisp isn't already banned. This is assuming Ursa needs Wisp to do his job well.

yeah the only times i've seen ursa picked in pro dota are either with a wisp partner or as a greedy 4

Thanks for all the answers, BUT THE GAME IS ON!

This bottom lane is ridiculous.

Yeah, often to get that early Rosh. I see him relatively frequently, but he always does so poorly... He just can't ever transition into a carry.

Ohgod, I don't like C9's draft at all, but TF aren't that good in execution.

That said, where's my Big God flair, admins? xiao8 and Faith are the most succesful Chinese drafters-leaders, and when their teams acknowledge this fact, they more usually succed than not. Well, the fact BurNing is still the best hard-carry in a world helps too, haha. Not suprised to see EHOME struggle under former DK's coach leadership either.
what exactly happened that ehome is under dk's banner? am i missing something? i thought DK just died.
xiao8 is the only player i can't read. he's either the pinnacle of success for some teams or the reason for failure. his stint with newbee could be argued that he was the reason for their success / drafting success. but in LGD he was definitely why they stayed #2.
my favorite team was IG so i can attest to faith but him leaving IG really killed the rest of the team. him and YYF. because of this i kinda feel like none of the IG members will ever have a successful run with any other team outside of their original TI-2 team. ig at this point is merely just ferarri and him alone carrying it all.
