The spread between teams is so tight right now. There are like 8 teams that could win at Shangai and I wouldn't really be flummoxed.

i'm suprised EG let Earth Spirit through, the only reason the game went so bad was because of him.

What did he ban?


LD + DP , ES is on a different level of OP right now in capable hands , when he gets Aghs its lights out.

The question was did ppd got confused after game 1 and 2/loss and decided to not ban ES?

Also, did Arteezy quit first before his team said game over at the end? It's sort of important for evaluating his state of mind, because this game I did feel as though there was a huge conflict within the team. Arteezy walked into Universe's ultimates *twice* and the final fight, Universe fucked up bad.

we need teamspeak to know that, they probably decide it's over vocally before they type it out

the meme'rs always go crazy when rtz leaves the game, which I still don't understand why.

He had to decide: ban ES and let EHOME potentially get Void or ban something else let them have ES and get Void for universe. Guess the gamble didnt work out. Kaka 12:1 ES this tournament

I don't think that's really fair. Simply picking viper mid had a huge effect on EG's ability to lane and rotate in the early game, and Ehome made good use of this. Sure after this his impact diminished considerably as basically the other heroes took farm priority, but I think you're exaggerating a little.

They had to ban the bear and its old man. Not sure why the 2nd ban wasn't used on balanced spirit though... maybe they thought they could counter it?

He was irrelevant later because he wasn't given farm priority. Why he wasn't given farm priority, and why Ehome never plays around him, ought to be all the answer you need. Teams have different priorities and for Ehome, that's getting Cty and Eleven ahead. Why? Because for Ehome, those two players are seen as the best players in terms of impact. There was a period of time when they tried to prioritize chicken, and it didn't work because he'd fuck up and waste all the farm.

It IS a weakness because there are only so many heroes that can be played in off. Fortunately for Ehome, currently there isn't a huge variety of effective heroes in the middle, which allows them to ban the middle heroes they aren't able to run. But in case that changes, then their middle is going to be a huge problem.

Back when Eleven was playing Tuskar every game and he was playing Tiny.

FTFY


Except "usual" would be 12/13 tournaments, in which I called for the West to win, even when people didn't believe they were going to, for example when two Chinese teams were in winner during the international and PPD's team was in loser.

Wrong. I'd say that the Chinese would win when I personally believe it, and I'd personally believe it when the evidence favors their victory.
