TBH they Jacky AND W33 to win this. I feel like Scret's performance is often directly related to w33's one, Jacky being a very stable player. And nowadays he cannot carry solo so yeah, they need both.

i'm sure all we need is trust and power of friendship

( Yeah we need w33ha to feel comfy in games so that he can do pubstar things and pls oh pls misery and puppey play good)

For W33ha its usually: Pls have a good game
For Miserty: PLs don't have a bad game

for me.

"Chinese players are really bad OK"

Current Hero Stats for MDL Winter.

Notice the fairly heavy lack of Mid Laners in the top 25 heroes picked. The Mid Lane matchup is an utter mess right now, when it dominated things pretty recently. This is definitely causing everyone problems, as the most picked Mid Laners really require you to build your draft around.

hmm I feel like he gets put into really hard positions though and given with what he has given has performed quite well. Not as good as universe(in so far you can make such a statement I suppose) but better then the rest of the team apart from Universe.

EG's warding game hasn't been on point this tournament. It was at Starladder until the Alliance games. Not really sure what is up with that. Maybe ppd just needs to draft Dazzle in the first phase.

RTZ suffers because PPD is clueless.

i tihnk you're not quite remembering the worst bone7 slumps they were just as bad or worse rofl

like he'd just chain feed any possibility of winning the game away on occasion

whereas misery just kind of loses through gradual misplays and underwhelmingness

Wait is ES 17-3 in MDL?

TB 7-2 and Lion 7-1 stick out too, but very very small samle sizes.

Anyway, on to the Frankfurt Major Final redux!

We're only through the 3rd picks and I'll just leave the entire match on this: if Crit's Earth Spirit doesn't suck, they should win. If it does suck (which it did yesterday), they will lose.

Last game vs EHOME i feel they win if PPD babysits the Tony with Dazzle. Chen wasn't enough cover for him and NS busy doing NS things. If Dazzle had helped tiny get an item that game he might been able to help, but in the end Chen did nothing and Tiny did nothing and that can't happen

Hehe Sven is such a trash carry. PPD is the only one who's picking Sven in this meta, and he should get his head checked.

Correct, which is why ppd letting it through for Ehome was going to lose them that game.
