While we’re waiting for the next game I propose a bit of superior quality literature:

rOtK stares at the draft screen. He is sweating. 3 points. They need these 3 points against VP. He glances at Lanm to his right. He sees the nod. He grits his teeth. Accompanied by the collective groans of all Chinese fans, Razor appears on the screen. In the background Zyf whimpers.

s4 and Puppey are languishing in Secret’s private jacuzzi. A derisive smile appears on s4’s face as he absent-mindedly watches the EHOME replay playing on the flat screen. “These guys actually firstpick Razor.” Puppey laughs. “It’s actually the only thing they can play.” “Wanna just firstban it? Not like it matters.”

In the EHOME booth at Key Arena, rOtK sees the Razor ban come out. He turns to Lanm who’s looking over his shoulder. “Your plan worked.” Lanm smiles. “Such fools.” Without hesitating, rOtK picks winter wyvern.

Secret is 10k gold ahead. In the booth, Arteezy puts on his sunglasses and starts blasting Yung Lean. Azarkon’s manhood is used as a lighthouse by aliens travelling the universe. Deciding they’ve had enough, Secret push forwards. Yet suddenly, winter arrives. Storms erupt all around them. A supernova explodes over their head. Struck by madness, Secret all begin to attack Arteezy who by now is playing with his feet.

Some time later, rOtK is greeted as the victor by Kaci. “rOtK”, she asks, “what do you think made the difference in the first game?” “Well”, he replies, “I believe this game came down to -”.

He pauses as he spots Arteezy trying to slink out of the area. Walking up to him, he snatches the sunglasses off his face and puts them on before adding:

“A Razor’s edge.”

YEAAAAH EHOOOOOOOME


"Azarkon’s manhood is used as a lighthouse by aliens travelling the universe."

WELL.... TA is getting nerfed after TI.


? lol

Hero has highest winrate at TI so far (with more than 10 picks)


because nobody drafts against it and it's always a late pick into a favorable draft
? empire's draft is as anti-lanaya as they come


how lol

ww is the only decent pick against her, razor is good in lane against her but they didn't lane it like that
witch doctor owns her, wyvern owns her, storm owns her, razor owns her. empire just got massively outplayed.


storm owns ta? alright man what planet are u from

sure overcharge gives u an extra hit against refraction but ta TRASHES storm in lane 100%

wd is not good against ta, razor is not good against her outside of laning phase
im not talking about in lane. storm should always be able to get the jump and she shouldn't be able to go on razor at all. empire had good picks, they just played poorly.


how should she not be able to go on razor? what are you even talking about she can burst razor down once she gets like 1 item and melds him
"a right click hero should be able to burst razor" alright then lmao

Hasn't rOtk only become a captain in the last 2 years? Before he was just an accessory of BurNing or something.


He may have been a captain before transferring to DK. I think he is known for leading new talent from Dota 1 days.

How come there is no Korean stream going on right now???

I would have loved to hear the commentators go crazy over QO's performance.

But Razor has to be strong enough to survive the initial burst until his static link takes enough damage.
