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!


I think ppd is really good at adapting to the strength of his players. When he had Rtz, he strategized to maximize his farming tendencies and when he picked up SuMail he made it so that if SuMail's plays are successful his team reaps a large reward.

Farming is within Rtz's comfort zone. Hyper aggression is within SuMail's comfort zone. I think PPD does prefer Rtz over SuMail when it comes to that aspect since it's lower risk.

For what this is worth ppd mentioned before that he believes the old eg roster had more individual skill than his new one.
