What is a slowpoke? Is it a flattened hippo? A bill-less platypus? Just a pink four legged animal with a tail?

Slark fits his style so well though, more than spec if you think about it. Envy's play is really map control and map presence based, and this mentality fits Slark perfectly as the hero can spot wards and farm deep into enemy territory with less risk than most heroes while having decent waveclear. So there is a lot of non flashy stuff that Secret gains from putting him on slark. He makes space for his team and keep the enemy on their side of the map because the creeps are always being shoved back by a sneaky slark. He is playing slark in a way that forces the enemy to be less aggressive. The slark game yesterday Secret was losing early game hard and Liquid would have been able to push much more menacingly if EE wasn't into the enemy side of the map intercepting creep waves and pushing. AM and Ember can be played in a similar style but AM and Ember are too slow for this meta

It looks like Puppey did his homework and figured out the way to beat Liquid:
- Don't give them NP
- Don't give them Ursa
- Don't give them ES
- Make Mind control's game as hard as possible
And there you go, an quick and easy formula to collect Shanghai Major money, since position-for-position every single one on Secret is light years ahead of Liquid's. Aside from the 3 must bans, none of Liquid's players are particularly amazing at anything else.

I'm hoping for an EEmber, EE PA, spEctrE or tErrorbladE to win for Secret

A salamanpotamus then. I've always heard him described as either a salamander or a hippo. Seriously though, I don't he's based on any animal - kinda like Hitmonlee or Jynx, the racist's pokemon.

That's what i thought too that slark should be a perfect hero for how he plays since the hero can go ballz deep or go crazy plays but he doesn't feel like polished slark player.

He probably just needs more practice but it looks different from example the aggressif slark from TI5.

To be fair Liquid were smoked and I have no idea what made Secret split up at the crucial time.
