Boy was I surprised when I reopened it after switching to my computer.

Step it up please PPD T_T


Kill don't matter when Weaver/LD were still farming well, and QW Invoker doesn't need much farm to function.

burst down ehome's damage dealers but despite the horrid invoker, the disengage and reset is strong in ehome.

A four protect one line up, which is what that line up was, requires that the one is able to carry through two opponent cores. PPD thought Arteezy was able to do this but he wasn't. They need to put Sumail on a carry hero, in that case, but I have a feeling Sumail hasn't been playing any because he has limitations with the new heroes.

Not sure why they don't just Fear on a core, in that case. Their wins earlier were all through that.

I like you how turn to blaming Canadian when PPD is at fault with draft like that (hint: they got 2-0d by Alliance with similar reasons).

So you're saying you haven't seen games where Morphling carries against two opponent carries. And I thought you watch Chinese games.

I don't know why there is so much hate on old chicken.
I have heard about him since he was in EP, and actually I like his style.
No something fancy and cocky, but his build and mid game decision is always on point.

It is simply some culture difference between the east and west in this game.
Chinese dota simply don't like those high risk high reward plays.
Even in pubs you can easily get flamed jumping in like sumail or w33 did.

puck is still good, but the hero has to be used correctly. of course puck is weaker as the game goes on but thats why u draft around the heroes strengths and not its weaknesses. ppd made the mistake of having a difficult to execute strategy by putting himself into a single core strategy instead of double core like alliance prefers it

wtf lol? old chicken is a great player, he just got sacrificed in that game, and rightfully so, weaver and bear was the key to winning. they just needed invo for the QW spells rly.

Alliance has an off player who prefers late game carries. Universe is not that sort of player and has never been.

The absolute irony of your statement is that the only 2 times this arguably happened in this tournament it was Arteezy morph.

He missed few spells which is enough to say that he is the worst player who has ever played Dota.

eg, just fucking ban or pick that bear qq, lett them have visage instead.
if they lett ehome have the bear again, I am 100% sure its for practice before shanghai (even tho that sounds crazy being in a top tourney finale)

their drafts and play i felt were way too optimized on countering a specific hero on ehome's lineup (picking puck for weaver in game 2, and keeping on aiming at LD's bear on game 1, though game 1 was somewhat of a stomp).

I think that they should just focus on lineups that build their cores instead of trying to make things happen on the map ASAP like what they did in game 2.
Keep moving forward

EG's draft needed more damage, something like aghs WD would wreck with pucks ulti in that last fight for example

puck is considered as shit tier hero in China though.
Every day you can find a complain thread on puck in tieba (equivalent to reddit).

He didn't get sacrificed, he just didn't play very well. In the end it was apparently good enough, so who cares.
