I'm too tired to try and even figure out who has the better draft. Ah who am I kidding, I'd be clueless anyway. Who do you guys think has the better draft?

I like VG draft more, they can play quite well around global silence. I just hope they don't fight recklessly.

I think you're confused. They are obviously talking about iG vs Secret game 1 in which s4 went for shiva over hex against Burning AM.

Yes, and I'm saying 20 minutes before that item choice ever came up, Arteezy could have gone a not-Eul's item on SF, and they would have ended the game before s4 even had the choice to make between Shiva and Hex.

The only reason it went that late is because Eul's isn't an item that lets you break lanes. It lets you farm and solo kill outside the base but does nothing when you're actually trying to get into the base.

I disagree. Mek was bought by tusk anyway. Eul blink allowed him to pressure AM and push in lanes aggressively for map control.

AM never really gets pressured by the Eul's solo kill potential (Burning basically was never threatened by it whatsoever) and putting the Mek on SF allows an earlier blink on Tusk which actually IS a threat to AM, unlike a Eul's+BoTs SF.

Eul's+Blink+Travels is basically 7k gold in items that don't help you kill towers. They help you farm a lot, but you're artificially prolonging a game that you very clearly don't actually want to prolong.

He didn't get travels. If getting skadi blink euls + bloodstone orchid before AM can even complete manta and bkb on gryo can't end the game, the problem obviously lie in their execution

And AM can split push harder which makes it harder for high ground. The argument never ends.

I think it's easier to just blame Secret's downfall to S4. Too many games where he didn't perform well at all. Bad item choices, getting caught out, no farm, etc.

The fact that Burning didn't die a single time after laning and stayed as high as he did on net worth should be indicative enough of the fact that Blink+Eul's had zero impact on his ability to split-push.

I'm still here.

rip Secret though.
Heaven's Halberd is the most criminally underbought item in Dota. Together we can stop this.

Sure, but the idea that Arteezy was "too good" for Secret *as a whole* is ludicrous.

Yeah he played better than s4, but so did the other 3 players on Secret.

While totally sacing the entire team's farm because they are just 5 manning all the time. If anything he should just get bkb after blink euls and just brute force high ground with their initiation.
