The more i think of it, it's really hard to draft against TL. You gotta ban Earth Spirit, NP, Razor, DP, Ursa.

And also, FATA has been impressive

Solution

Play Earth Spirit as well,
Ban NP tusk
Pick ursa if you're first pick or something else
ban dp or kuroky heroes.
pick good midlaner that can farm no matter what almost and dont get bottle sniped
pick a carry that can go late, but also fight, like spectre


aka Secret G1 strat lol.

Pretty much. you need to play versus TEAM LIQUID, not Dota2

Yeah, it's referring to her dark skin, but still I find it a strange way to describe her. 小黑 doesn't fit at all.


also from her dota 1 hero which was the dark ranger, so it fits


I guess I'm too American but when I hear 小黑 I think of either a dog or a black kid lol.


I mean 小 in front of whatever is always the go to nicknaming scheme. It sounds perfectly normal for us :D

I even question drafting Dark Seer.


The naga pick makes sense actually it's really good against liquid's lineup if it gets fat

what they didn't anticipate was getting roled hard


yo goody o/
I'm still waiting for your weekly konosuba picture recap

Other than that, didn't expect that we both would get our fav teams in the finals. I'll even allow your team to get 2 games before ultimately falling short of closing up the entire thing.

Wassup toad! o/

I've seen konosuba already but i just haven't made the post. Will do it soon !

I don't mind them picking Naga at all. I mind what they decided to do to build up to her. Their lineup needed a lot more aggression and to a lesser extent stacking potential from the supports. The remaining cores were sort of ok but I feel if Enigma wasn't picked they would've been more thoughtful on Universe's hero.


Yeah this consistent DS for universe what is up with that .. and universe was pretty off that game he can't execute some of the vacuum-trump properly at all


Dunno with the first pick dark seers where earlier they were playing more tide, more big team fight control. Why all the dark seer picks all of a sudden when no one else been running it? Seems strange.

Probably has something to do with the synergy it has with Ursa and Sven

is has been rtz's hero all tournament. They been 4th or 5th picking suma1l if possible as i've seen

If you think Loda naga is better you literally do not watch the game. Watch minimap when he plays, his illusion control is nothing close to RTZ. He gets less farm from each illusion, less wave cutting, and less damage done overall. Burning is about 4 steps below even Loda...

watch minimaps during naga games


Loda "remembers" to do wave cutting when he's behind (not so much otherwise) so yea he's pretty bad in that regard LOL

But then again RTZ sometimes just leaves illusions randomly in the jungle doing nothing and using radiance burn on nothing for like 5 seconds so I get pretty annoyed by that too.

Overall RTZ is a much better farming carry which carries over to his naga, but to suggest that he is some sort of godlike naga on gut feeling without even trying to think of at least the reasons you mentioned above is ridiculous.

Who said godlike? RTZ is better than loda and burning is all I'm saying. Maybe the best pro naga but there's some I haven't seen like maybe miracle could have better control.

Loda makes the same mistakes you mention of RTZ though. All Naga's drop micro sometimes, but RTZ has the most consistent of any pro I've seen.

JJ? Singapore pride!

Anyway eg loss because of Peter. It was a bad draft overall. You open with dark seer enigma, which means 2 things. 1) your lanes cannot be weak because you only have a solo support. 2) you are less likely to run dual core because the mid needs protection too. Way too much information given away, and leaves you open to be exploited.

I actually think this was the point where eg refusal to play wisp drafts have come back to haunt them.

So now that I'm eating my papa john's pizza out anger . I'm sorta wondering if EG is going to keep the same roster. Sure, they've been consitent, but they can't seem to finish out big tournament LANS. I'm sorta curious if they are going to considered kicking someone soon.

so dumb to lock your strategy by picking DS+Enigma first. i get the DS pick but enigma is really situational.

enigma isn't op just because of 80% wr over 15 games, it happens a lot in these tourneys. enigma didn't recieve any significant buffs that makes him viable for firstpick.

also genius phoenix pick, both liquid supports were lowest on networth but have done so much. plus if they are left behind the enemy receives minimal gold.

also where are the AA picks against these phoenix, early mek builds?

Anyone wanna take bets on what unforseen disaster will occur to ruin the grand final of this otherwise flawlessly run major?

Sumail seems to be the weakest link out of this EG team. He hasn't been performing as well as compared to last year.

I don't know what you mean by weakest link he's been doing fine. Not spectacular but he's doing what he does in midlane.

Also there's no better alternative for mid even if they decide to replace him
