I learned from this TI that it seems impossible to dominate in TI if you get in the enemy teams focus too much. Every one just analysed the shit out of secret. Propably watched the replays more often than secret did themselves... and it feels that on this lvl of play it is impossible to stand up to the focus YOU WILL GET FIGURED OUT. Ehome showed this and i bet they will get rekt by EG. So either you intentionally suck time and time again to losen the enemys focus on you (yeah it sounds ridiculous) or you question everything that made you successfull and start something new from scratch not really knowing if it works or not. TL;DR: I'm sad! | ||

Nice pocket strat by iG picking up the gyro first. Secret did not expect a gyro mid and hence did not ban AM. Furthermore Secret first picked Storm 2nd phase to try to deny the Ferrari storm. But iG baited this for the antimage last pick. What a draft by iG | ||

It's like EHOME yesterday. The Chinese teams seem to have figured out how best to deal with Secret. People here saying that they let AM freefarm and pissed away the lead...that's not it. They had the rest of iG bottled in the base. The lead is only going to increase. So they wait for Arteezy to be six slotted, instantly go for Roshan, and then try for game-ending mid push. Meanwhile iG figures it out too. They don't try desperation smokes. You don't force fights when Secret has advantage outside the base. They have a line-up that can wombo combo to defend high ground from behind. Once they held against Arteezy six slot, they can only narrow the lead from there. AM and Gyro has more late game than SF and Storm. The really big mistake was rtz and s4 diving for the burning kill @ T3 mid. Got them both killed, and game was hard after that. | ||

The 120% damage illusions are fucking insane late game Only kicks in if the enemy cores are building on pure stats. Maybe against the likes of Morph and CK. | ||
