That was deliberate. He had gem and the team felt it was worth sacrificing his HP to clear mines since PL had to clear mines elsewhere.


He fed ember spirit when the score was 3-3.

6. Lina? Not actually sure how good Sumail is at Lina...

I dunno maybe it'd work.


Zeus, WR, Tinker, Templar etc. You'd be hard pressed to find a player at this level you can just completely ban out.

Sumail has actually killed Cty in THREE out of FOUR games by himself in the first ten minutes.



Sumail was actually really losing the QoP vs Storm match-up, and CTY would have came out ahead if he just didn't get ultra cocky. The fact that he was only like 3-4 cs behind really shows how bad Sumail was getting outclassed. The 2nd game was all Sumail's teammates getting him the advantage.

What makes you say that he's balanced? Not TI results, I imagine.

He sorta does in that he has good AoE and can clear mines if he is allowed to set things up, but he's almost useless in most fast paced fights.

Devils advocate, who was the team that primarily dominated with Lesh first? Whoever they are, better hate on them too because they almost killed TI as well

You actually have to draft heroes that are good against Techies. I don't know if he was last or 4th pick but like Broodmother or omniknight they are deadly if you have the wrong line up.

Credibility zero after: "Techies is a balanced and very beatable hero".

Credibility negative after: "doesn't offer much in pushes".

Techies is broken hero, because your pub techies suck doesn't mean you know how to deal with them.


If it was a broken hero teams would ban in the first phase. I rarely see teams ban it.


It's a worse brood. It change the way the game is played but spiderlings give gold, cant press one button to deny herself and respawn faster, and can't claim a small area on the map where true sight can't pierce.

You can kill a brood. You don't kill a semi decent techies.
