Newbee played extremely well, but they did not win because of drafting. Fng is saying the same on Russian stream. I mean, until the second free Roshan Newbee couldn't fight Secret at all, and with Weaver being ahead of Gyro in networth (which he would have been without dying for free over and over), it'd stay that way. And don't you think the reliability of being ahead needs to be part of the gameplan. There's a reason why nobody use mirana support anymore. She loses games even after getting 10 kills early game. And EE tries to make things worse by picking weaver, another carry that requires more farm than required to keep up with its fighting capabilities. | ||

I like the Morph idea though, that could have worked well. secret banned morph, and envy's thinking was probably along the line of "hey they have bat while not pick a weaver he's a good linken carries!!" | ||

From what I read here it seems game was going alright for Secret and Newbee found EE twice and took 2 free roshes? Secret pushed bottom tier 2. Swap -> Lasso -> Free OD kill. EE pushing Tier 3. Decides to run uphill to take a couple meaningless potshots before running back to TP. Newbee flank him, pop linkens, chain two stuns and kill him. Newbee get a free Rosh. Then Puppey feeds a free kill in the river and gives up Gem. You could probably call that the turning point, and a lot of bad plays from Secret meant they never got any advantage back. | ||

I think envy haters goes way too overboard on critiquing him. He's proven himself to carry games that not a lot of players playing his position can achieve and a lot of people just flames him for every death, even if he legitimately was being sacked. I don't care much for the things he says or his personality, but I do love the fact that his distinctive playstyle baffles scientists. | ||

I mean they can't practice when they were just at SL and then EE flew to China straight from there etc. I doubt EG played between SL and this either really. But idk how Secret's preparation for SL was | ||
