In case anyone missed that, Silent's average creep stat before this series was 322 per game.

Coincidence? You decide!

it takes a team that doesn't screw up to beat lgd. if there's one thing xiao8 has been doing this tournament, it's drafting better late game every time. lgd's so annoying to watch actually, they just get behind in every way and then they farm and they wait for you to fuck up(silent). and once you do, ur fucked. maybe the high ground dota of last patch isn't as dead as we may all assume.


So you want Dota where you can't punish mistakes?
6.82 & 6.83 high ground was stupid because of the broken comeback mechanic they implemented as a knee jerk reaction to all the TI4 complaints which weren't justified. A team can't 5 man push if you are able to fight/kill them.

6.82 & 6.83 wasn't Dota.


i never said i want different dota. i'm just annoyed by lgd's "we won't do shit until you force the issue and fuck up" style. then again, xiao8 has to win with yao in his team so i kind of get why he does it

That is how drafting works. EG does the same thing some times. Dota is all about timings and hitting them. If you draft a team that can't do shit after a specific timing, that's how the game ends.


I would even say that it is one of EG's (ppd) biggest strength is to set up the game so that the only possible way for the other team to win is to outplay/force the issue while all the EG players need to do is play within their comfort zone.



I just hope Sumail isn't overly aggressive to the point where he starts making game ending mistakes. He is really young and this is the biggest tournament of his career so far! I can wait to see how they do. For now, I hope LGD pulls through and we can all grab some of those bracket points!

He did ok during groups. There were a couple mistakes, but most of his aggression had back up and worked.

At least this game they can eventually just tell Silent to get out and go split push.

aggro blinking while split pushing is still a death sentence against really good opponents. if lina/tusk alone just bait a wave he'll die, if storm is there even easier. aggro blinking camps is even fucking risky if you can't read the map (which silent didn't do just there to see "oh shit everyone might be here in which case don't blink")

He did real well during group stage! There were a couple times, like you mentioned, where I was like, "AH *$&%(%) SUMAIL!!!...oh snap, NICE SUMAIL!!" Haha, and PPD and gang cleaned up well. I don't blame him for getting trigger happy with Storm Spirit. That is what the hero is built for! But man is it nerve-wracking!
