'cause Illidan is like XBOCT.
40% of the time he's pretty good, but not significantly better than any other carry player.
40% of the time he singlehandedly wins the game.
20% of the time he singlehandedly loses the game.

*note: numbers pulled straight out of my ass.
Heaven's Halberd is the most criminally underbought item in Dota. Together we can stop this.

Phoenix making a resurgence?

I did not even understand why he fell off, meta heroes have no reliable control and outside of Lina, there are little heroes capable of killing egg quickly, albeit Naga can destroy him.

Probably goes full YOLO way too often to be rated any higher than XBOCT.
And also maxes stun on DK.

That was like 2 years ago, he got better since then.

Group B teams have consistently performed better than Group A teams during the Main Event.


The series between Group B vs Group A teams are 4-6 to group B. That's quite a stretch to call that "consistently performing better".

Group B vs Group A is 11-6 in favor of Group B.


That's essentially one bo3 difference. Had Secret beat EHOME 2-0, it would be 9-8. I mean of course group B has performed better this far, but these statements like "consistently performed better" are rather funny when we are talking about one single bo3 that actually separates them.

On paper he was pretty good in all games he was picked in. Under 40% winrate still. Mainly because it's still on paper.

Razor is a counter to BB. Or at least, thats what most teams think.

Why does one need to counter a hero that has ridiculous bad winrate this patch after BAT nerf (IceFrog works in mysterious ways, he dumps heroes with inconsequential nerf).

I mean he was atrocious on paper in most of Ehome's games since they firstpicked him, but Zyf still managed to be useful. I still think firstpicking him is terrible, but I don't think the hero's bad at all against a draft like this.

edit: I don't like vp's draft at all btw. Just don't think the razor pick's to blame.

Not really, rotk clearly thinks of razor as gyrocopter counter. In fact, the sole fact that people still pick my minus damage strat speaks volumes about them not really understanding how gyro works, because i swear, my strat wrecks medusa and luna but does almost nothing against gyro.

Or rotk was just baiting first phase razor ban by s4.
