Vac Wall, Terrorblade things. I guess and Tusk job would have been to take WD out the game.
Only problem i have with EG is PPD runs Vengeful every fucking game. It is ok when PPD plays it but he picks it because it can be used for RTZ when they need to stop doing that and go back to Dazzle times if u want to first pick something like that TT

Hmm, the term doesn't seem to make sense to me. But thanks for the explanation!

PPD just picks what worked for EU teams in a melting pot.

Which is annoying as on their run in StarLadder they had their own style. Enigma jungle, or Universe faceless. they can't both be banned and they would draft around that and do good. They lost vs Alliance trying to beat Alliance tactics instead of trying to force theirs onto them. Come to this lan without any idea how they want to play it seems

Probably comes from honeypot as in some kind of bait but now I come to think of it I'm not sure on the exact origin of the term.
Well, that was a pretty terrible performance from EG. And here I was hoping for a good ol' Arteezy TB game

i actually thought only 6 teams get in like 4 upperbracket and 2 from lower waiting for those who get knocked out of upper(well they are waiting)
didn't know there was upper semi-final seeding

Like what is their teamfight exactly aside from invoker/ds combo? And good luck getting that off vs fissure and chrono.
Tusk, Invoker and DS have lots of teamfight. I assume they wanted to time Terrorblade's Metamorphosis (always having venge's aura) for those fights. If you miss a farmed invoker with your crono he can obviously mess things up for you.
Not saying they drafted well, but I can see them having good teamfights with farm.

Still don't think they have found their own style, and doubt they are gonna with PPD as captain, as he is so focused on copying others, and force it on his team, rather than playing to their own strengths.

They didn't get stomped. OG had the most stupidly defensive High Ground Defense to fall back on, and managed to play the defense really well. OG got crushed most of that game.

im actually kinda confused why none of the western teams have been trying morphling

Huh? He's reinvented the way his team plays multiple times to fit their strengths (most notably sadboys with rtz sf/naga/etc., then with sumail + aui), going against what was popular at the time in doing so. They've been struggling for a while, but 'copying others' is hardly one of ppd's deifning traits.

They won the lanes, and then got a 5 man wipe to get back into the game, and then lost.
