i think it's pretty likely that at least some teams are experimenting heavily with drafts since there's a new patch coming pretty soon anyway

and yeah, Secret and OG maybe have been figured out a bit better now

OG and Secret just coming back from LANs/ post LAN break, can't possibly concentrate on every game at 100%. Meanwhile NaVi has a brand new lineup and surely is putting their 100%. Alliance vs VP idk what to put that down to really.

Though in this game I don't think Secret even were terrible in general. Typically I heavily disagree with "scientists baffled" talk but this game I think EE screwed up a pretty big portion of the game himself. First using all his regen and dying top when he was overly aggressive and didn't realize UD is roaming in, then dying bottom lane, later on they get a big pickoff opportunity on the Gyro and go on him with Tusk only for EE to screw up with his toggling and die, etc..

EE was going yolo from min 1, and Huskar needs at least a couple levels in the passive and an early game item like threads to do that.

Wouldn't it be more logical to experiment with drafts at the START of a new patch as opposed to the end of one? Just seems like a lot of potential losses with nothing much to gain from it.

The main issue was simply not anticipating the Undying coming in top. He was zoning the DS, but the moment the UD comes to assist he is screwed if he is in such a position. Using all his regen and giving up first blood made his own laning phase really difficult when it didn't really need to go like that.

experiment at start of patch to figure out the new meta
experiment at end of patch because why not
and if you learn something from experimenting at the end of a patch you can use it next patch if it doesn't get nerfed

I don't think the last draft had anything to do with experimenting. They saw Gyro+DS and went Huskar. I don't think Secret's issue was the draft, in this specific game I think EE just screwed up way too much.

they might know a lot of things we don't about the next patch already. like clairvoyance was saying during the previous series, there's gonna be 2 extra creep camps and some other big changes to the map. if he knows that kind of stuff i imagine secret knows at least as much. if that's the case, experimenting now makes a lot of sense. not sure if it's worth sacking starladder for it but u never know what's in their heads. well, everyone's but envy's. that's a mess either way.

I think it's more to do with learning a certain playstyle as both individual player and team. EE is pretty much known for sucking at fighting carries who can't flash farm

Husk is good against Gyro if you have 4 points in Berserker's Blood before level 14 and can armlet toggle competently...neither of which Envy managed that game.

(also it gets much much better with a Dazzle because then you don't even need to toggle competently but they couldn't snag him)

The Razor and Nightstalker picks both would have shat on Envy in the midgame bar an absurd start, though, so I'm not sure what the gameplan was.

Experimenting is just a very good way to rationalize your favorite team losing. It works all the time because there is always a reason to experiment: New patch, end of patch, big tournament coming, hiding strat, etc.

It's the go to excuse for Puppey fans especially, even when he drafts the same thing as everybody else like last game.

Huskar 2nd pick hardly is the same as everybody else. But as I said before there was a clear reason why they went Huskar and I don't think that was about experimenting.
