I still think Lich is probably a first-phase ban, though, correct?

Oh nice Navi vs Empire, I thought they had to play EG. Also maybe? The sacrifice change and massive cooldown increase really does hurt him.

i don't know what it means exactly as i dont' play a lot of lich, but it looks like you can't just leave it at level 2.
creeps take around 15 seconds to get to river from base to mid, up to 30s for sidelanes, so you're bound to miss a wave (or its mana, bc low HP minion) and depending on the timing, have to skip a sacrifice and a free nova if you're denying certain wave/catapults.

stolen from reddit thread:
Math time:
@ lvl1
<=6.86 62 exp every 44 seconds = -84xpm
6.87a 90 exp every 44 seconds = -122xpm
6.87b 90 exp every 60 seconds = -90xpm
@ lv4
<=6.86 62 exp every 20 seconds = -186xpm
6.87a 90 exp every 20 seconds = -270xpm
6.87b 90 exp every 30 seconds = -180xpm

so it's a little bit better than 6.86 still at early levels, but not noticably. Significantly weaker than .87a. There's no reason to pick lich in .87b where you wouldn't have picked him in .86

Well, I guess it just means auto-bans for Bounty Hunter every game now.

Back to the dumpster with you, Lich!

Even a nice swap-sacrifice couldnt save the batrider because Void just stepped by and stopped time.
Unfortunately this also lead to his demise. With Witch Doctor getting flanked by propht the engagement which left the radiant's t2 bot tower standing at rather high hp, ended with a 2 for 2 trade.

Huuge play by ramzes.
Empire do rosh, it is almost done. NaVi's Earth spirit sets up a boulder for a multiple-hero stun. Ramzes blinks out and roars ES mere fractions of a second before kicking the rock into the rosh pit, surely followd up by a roll, silence and magnetize, effectively preventing DESASTER! for Empire.

e: stopping LR due to making breakfast.
Good morning everyone

Morning!

I'm trying to watch the matches, but I have to do it without sound, and I'm on shift in the ATLAS control room so aren't supposed to be watching it at all...

On the other hand its the weekend, and the LHC died because a weasel chewed through the power cables so I don't think anyone will mind too much

Navi keeps running up against these drafts with heroes who create excess net worth for no additional effort (Track, Goblin's Greed, etc). Even if they initially outplay the other team, the other team outscales them with inferior play thanks to all the innate bonus gold.

Navi seems to be the only team I've seen who likes to play NP as position 1. Any reason they like it so much? It was pretty good in rotations earlier in the game, but surely offlane NP can do that just as well? Does General just not play the NP?

Bounty ban by Na'Vi - why am I not surprised?

Also Empire again with the ench/chen bans, they really don't like Artstyle

Edit: Ooooo, Navi Lycan. They can really make that hero work, like no other team can. With a Dendi QoP, this is a pretty strong draft for Navi right now. The void pick for Empire confuses me - I guess its going to be a Ramses void? I presume he'll go Radiance as well, that seems to be the carry void build these days (thanks Waga).

Double edit:
For anyone not watching but following along, as I often do, the drafts are
Navi: Witch doctor, Bane, QoP, Lycan, Beastmaster
Empire: Void, Bat, Windrunner, Wisp, Earth Spirit
(not necessarily picked in that order )

Triple edit:
Its a Ramzes bat? He was Beastmaster in the last game... have Empire switched his and Afterlife's positions?

Is the Lycan wolf form turn rate affected by sticky napalm?

e: btw, how can a weasel chew through a vital power line in a supposedly high security environment? haha

The most denies are mid lane. I cant remember when so many creeps were denied with the exception of some rare cases of 50/44 lh/denies cases in the safelane. I do like that people, i.e. Dendi emphasises denies so much.

This laning stage is going quite well for Empire - even that 3 man gank got scouted by the ES and immediately turned around. Not sure how Navi are going to cope with this...

Yeah but I guess its like, if their lineup is behind early against Empire's, its not a great situation. They can definitely pull it back, and the Lycan will really start coming into his own in the next few minutes, but still.

Edit: Oh baby that chrono, Afterlife please have mercy on Navi

It's just about the high physical damage in this meta. Nothing to do with aghanim. It's also a comfort pick for EW, so deny pick.

Looks like bsj has the same opinion as me :D


it was also my first thought
but after using it, I am convinced that sabre is amazing item especially as most melee carry wont buy drum anymore

It's amazing how shitty Elite Wolf draft is against WW considering it was second pick. They can't burst it and they have nothing that goes trough the clod embrace.

It is first or 2nd item now. If you get it first it means you join fights or got pressured.
If you get it 2nd it's your replacement for vlads anyways. Aui got vanguard vlads yesterday to end the game quicker though.

Your illusions get damage block so it's the perfect replacement for vlads since vlads illusions only give your creeps all the benefits.

I thought it still follows the same item build order

like Threads-pms-battlefury is still the first thing you aim around 14 minutes. Then instead of Vlads you build vanguard instead into manta or abyssal

vanguard is roughly the same cost as vlads iirc

EG knows how to play around the DS. And Draft around it. Lots of close-range AE damage + Dark Seer is pretty damn nasty.

With a LAN and I think everyone traveling for the Regional Qualifiers at the moment, there's a distinct lack of tier 2 casting happening. ^_^

Yeah you can watch them in game via Valve client good but of course without comms. Open Qualifiers not so fun now that most teams have been pushed into main qualifiers due to 12 invites anyway.

We're also at the end of a cycle for roster formations, so the Open are a lot thinner for quality competition. There isn't really anyone, except from China, that looks to have a chance to qualify. (Even if there was 2 spots.)

I was also thinking that the first Major of each cycle really should have either 20 or 24 teams. With something like 8 Invites + 12/16 Qualifiers (so 3/4 per region), you really open up the beginning of the year with a chance for anyone to really make a show of themselves.

Yeah like when GSL or S2SL resets every year. Open Qualifier is everyone and you get to see the biggest and best games. However that also does set up potential of an Secret vs Alliance in EU qualifier round1 bo1 etc xd

But something like that would be nice.

With Dota really being a Bo3 competition and Online/Offline being rather different, I'm really not in favor of some of the "no Invite" suggestions a few people have. 6-8 Invites is about right as a total amount, I just think, especially for the first Major of the cycle, that it shouldn't be half of the field.

The problem is that Valve really never wants to split up the regional qualifiers into 2 for a single region and 1 for another region. It's a bad precedent for them. So Invites and Qualifiers need to be in sets of 4. And I think 4 direct invites is too low, as it's going to drag out qualifiers a lot longer and, again, LAN is different than Online.

I kinda feel bad for WePlay. Besides the bad stream, the stage production is really nice and looks sad with a small crowd.
Getting too old for this..

Amazing Arena actually , love the 360 and the lights and effects , if anything to go by it probably had 0 promotion in kyiev , and most ppl who play Dota dont follow forums i cant fathom how Navi in their home town gets 0 live audience it really feels like no one knew about it

Same i actually dont watch the stream anymore until a game starts i cant watch it its sad as hell..... probably the last WePlay we are going to see , no sponser is going to shell out 200K in prizes + hospitality (which looks AMAZING in PPD vlog) to end up with 20 ppl in the crowd.

For Vega, it's definitely about having the Bans on point. And having DPS + Sustain if MVP goes for their "tanky as all hell" line ups.

For MVP, it's definitely about not getting caught in the draft. Vega has a bunch of curveballs they can throw.

Like has been said before, I think companies don't do enough actual promotion of their events outside of them existing. They rely too much on people just knowing about it because they're Dota2 fans, but when tournament season is packed, you need an actually promotional push to let people know in that region there will be a tournament.

Even the online promotion was terrible. Compare ESL's online promotion to WePlay and there's a lot of issues for people remembering WePlay is even happening.

Outside of that, I wish non-majors would get off the Arena train unless they're a Major anyway. I like smaller venues. I think ESL One New York was a good size.

Well , i can understand the mentality , you cant charge alot of money in eastern europe per ticket as you can in NYC , so you want to cover the big expense you have in prizepool and accomedation , and it seems teams dont want to play online anymore so its either a big Lan or no Lan , i guess we will have "no lan" from more organizers

Physical promotion in regions is underrated as well. Most dota2 viewers aren't on forums or hounding twitter, but Dota2 is also fucking huge in CIS regions. Put big ass posters in multiple cities "NAVI! DOTA2! <date location>", billboards on the highway and shit. The costs for these things for ~1 month isn't that high compared to initial investment, especially when you're renting a large arena.

Isn't this also attached to some Trade Show or something? (Like some of the tournaments at Gamescon, in Germany.) Might really confuse the issue, as well.

If Vega carries this late, unless MVP.P is snowballing, they should eventually out-carry this, right? As long as Puck can jump the Phoenix, the late-game looks kind of bad for MVP?

Vega has a bigger hp poool, go blademail on LD and his bear, ursa and treant while blademail is only really reasonnable on slardar and axe. Vega should win this one if they follow my pro tip.

2-0-3 is such an odd Phoenix build.

I guess it makes sense, you don't want -IAS on someone being called by Axe, but still.

MVP have plenty of damage. They just have trouble getting the fights in. Later on it'll fall off, but even then only Ursa really likes having a BKB so Veno & Phoenix should stay relevant.

MVP trying to go full CIS against a CIS team, gl. Vega controlled themselves pretty well but their inner CIS is triggered now.

Because that's how MVP wins games. They don't win team fights, normally. They re-engage after the other team blows their ultimate, changing a 1-0 or 2-0 deficit into a 3-5 kills. But they don't have the heroes to pull that off.

So their chain-feeding is the result of not having the draft to pull it off.

MVP could have probably engaged that if they had just been a little closer. Phoenix was like 1-2 seconds too far behind so he couldn't ray during the call.

MVP's been hitting the ladder hard after their StarLadder disaster so the difference between that and WePlay is night and day.

Their team fight execution those last 2-3 fights was spectacular, as well as that super patient slow siege. Really well played by MVP to claw their way back into that game.

Eh, they dug a hole for themselves at first.

Their draft is actually brutal against what Vega had in retrospect.

MVP knows how to play the late-game better than Vega. This wasn't a throw, but Vega really botched up a lot of things in the very late game. They spent all of their time trying to burn down Slardar & Axe, when they could have exploded the other 3, then cleaned them up.

Also, they needed more lockdown, which they didn't build. MVP worked themselves out of their deficit, but they know they shouldn't have won that game. That as a gift from Vega.

regardless of if no evasion, it is still one of the highest dps items.
the old alternative was abyssal.
you could tell their approach was,
'we can't avoid the full engagement, so we need to throw the kitchen sink and everything and take the edge asap.'
obv without divine thows.

Without evasion it loses in DPS to literally every other pure dps item at similar cost.

A fucking daedalus would be better as DPS item.

i think u need to relax a little.
outside of divine or the ultraexpensive bloodthorn (which are both nor appropriate for tht game), daedalus would pretty much be the highest dps item, which you're comparing the mkb to.

when the information is incomplete and the game feels greatly in your favor as was with vega, making purchases like MKB is fine. some teams/players do it to deter evasion and to exert how far ahead you are. doesn't mean they couldn't have made solar crests off that giant rosh bounty they got, in order to support their two 3k hp cores. he went lotus instead.

if they had perfect information and foresight alright maybe they budget for a crystalys into a full daedalus. lol.
i mean crit is phys, minibash is magic. which u think scales better?

I think they just underestimated the staying power of Phoenix and Veno vs a lineup that only carries one BKB and the carry potential of Slardar and Axe.

The problem with MVP I've always had is that they're just not versatile. They are a team that still almost always relies on QO having a good game and their team fighting even though he fixed his terrible problem of not tilting as hard and throwing the game.

Still very cool style to watch, MVP has their own distinctive way of playing DotA and you can't knock em for that

we have a patch situation with a team who i'd say is quite good at adapting and creating stuff, mvp.
right before this tourney, they got an invite to starladder which they 'nuked' out of.

and before that, they didn't qualify for a couple events since they were not a direct invite.
they got hammered to the floor by fnatic. so in those cases (which will prolly happen quite often), it does matter quite a bit to be able to get past the gatekeepers.

It's a good point you raise that MVP won't be playing in these mid-tier tournaments when Fnatic is taking all the qualifiers by storm. But if MVP can keep consistent in Majors/TI and reach that key top 6 position and qualify by default, they'll probably keep their success in the big tournaments if we're going by recent showings. Fnatic's issue is that they can qualify, but still have yet to translate their qualifier success to a win or really impressive result.

well i'm just going to comment that practically any team does this. 1 position scales as best as possible, then 5v5 often occurs as though the longer the game gets, so does that sort of critical mass.
people forget their NP games (or games where they had their NP banned almost every game), bounty, and rather split-pushy style. i think it's all due to how they tend to take control of the game and try to end as soon as possible.

you learn a lot more from those games than you do from playing absolutely safe and drafting to bank on a good opportunity arises with spectre follow-ups.

can they play ember games? ya. they practiced specifically for those and do it often on mmr games.
can they play naga or PA games and draft for that? i guarantee it.

are they playing alch veno games like wings? i mean sort of lol. they made slardar veno work, right? let that sink in.

the only thing i haven't seen them do is play a wyvern/dazzle style and the crazy thing is, it could still work, at least that's what it seems to me.

The difference between them and other teams is simply all five players know what to do in team fights. They can lose early, they can lose in farm, but as long as they can team fight their way back, the way Dota works now, it's not a problem.

they got hammered to the floor by fnatic. so in those cases (which will prolly happen quite often), it does matter quite a bit to be able to get past the gatekeepers.

It's a good point you raise that MVP won't be playing in these mid-tier tournaments when Fnatic is taking all the qualifiers by storm. But if MVP can keep consistent in Majors/TI and reach that key top 6 position and qualify by default, they'll probably keep their success in the big tournaments if we're going by recent showings. Fnatic's issue is that they can qualify, but still have yet to translate their qualifier success to a win or really impressive result.


yeah that is for sure with the invites at all
it's just a sour shame that they don't get to compete in epicenter or i believe the recent manila tourney, right after their hot streak at dotapit. i would say that epicenter is pretty much a major tournament with its 600grand prize pool, and esl was a large part of the recent manila major invites even though MVP was basically guaranteed one. luckily it cancels out there.

but hey it's all good, it's not like fnatic isn't a great team. maybe jsut not at the same international level as you say. it certainly feels that way right now. i wonder how mush is doing honestly. initially he as just going to be out for a couple weeks or so, but i guess the deal with 343 has to stay on so long as they've qualified for all this good stuff.

When MVP's execution is matched up with the right type of draft, they're really good. But we've already seen that it takes them a LOT to keep it as crisp as it has to be. It helps that Vega misplayed the last 20 minutes of Game 1, but MVP has established themselves as a Tier 1 team and, sometimes, that's just how you have to win games.

But I'm really curious to see them at TI in a huge group stage. The Meta shifts alone might be their biggest worry.

in full honesty, i'm hoping for a different direction from the way EG have been playing their games.
i'm completely guilty of not watching their games all the way through with their new roster, with the times (right now an example), and... i don't know, maybe i'm just overstressing how boring it is to me.

so far their average game length has been over 40m a pop, if i haven't missed some stomps this past day.
granted, atleast a couple of them (i think 3) were AM games that started with vanguard (and i'm not even going to try to comment on that), which drags out the game a little by little, in a perfect world situation.

i'll try to pay full attention to this next set, but sincerely hope they don't go past 40m each as well at least without some entirely new picks.

Be fun to see, but I'm unsure if EG is quite that stable yet. And Empire aren't scrubs, either. Plus, Vega likes to throw really curveball drafts at EG, which occasionally works.

I say that, but it's still Lower Bracket EG. Knocking EG out in an elimination match is brutally hard.

Goblak basically drafted stupidly hard to kill line-ups. The way to beat them was to drag it late. That's not on EG's play but on the way people are drafting against them right now. Plus, they're not drafting push line-ups. They could have closed out some of the games a little faster, but an extra 5 minutes of farming is worth the lower risk when going highground.

that's just great then.
let's hope other teams respect them a little more (or respect less) then.
something fresh, let's see something out of the playbooks they prepared for this tournament.
makes the first game all the more important.

I'm happy to see Sumail back on a DPS-carry. Though that has a whole lot to do with 6.86 than the team composition.

And EG have been ridiculously greedy in their drafting, in most games, since TI5. They've just used more push-strats based around Drow to keep teams honest.

i remember that one time they put sumail on safelane axe. actually they might have done it twice in total.
hey, let's see it aui do it haha.

if they jungle it again (if not banned) there must be some trial and error reached to value it so highly as 4, aside from what can be seen or felt.

You haven 't seen much EG yet say they're boring? Have you not watch their last game vs Team Spirit? I don't know what's boring about that game at all. EG looked boring today because they completely stomped E.Wolves. So far EG is looking stronger as the tournament goes on.

I remember they put Sumail in the safelane a lot in 6.85. I remember his safelane Timbersaw was legit.

Safelane Timbersaw was murdering people left and right. I'd have loved to see it more, but it was noticeable after they got into 6.86 that they weren't doing much role-swapping (minus one time they switched Safe & Offlane when they had Universe on Lone Druid). That really constrained their strategic leverage. And probably portended the eventual split up.

for livestreamer after it has been installed, including all instructions:
windows key or start menu,
run, enter
"livestreamer http://twitch.tv/beyondthesummit best" without quotations
replace best with worst/medium/best
command prompt will come up and say it has found the plugin, then auto-run VLC or whatever the default was set to and play the stream.
when you close the command prompt, stream will close and vice versa.

It's likely the config file isn't pointing to VLC properly, if he's having problems.

Well empire's draft is just harder--they need the perfect initiation a lot more, to actually kill EG

I still don't even see the chrono synergy.

Are you implying they will lose to Vega now and won't get to embarass MVP.P invite as well?

Either, i don't pay into this game much, Team Spirit looked decent in first game against EG too.

It's not the Furion, it's the support combination. Without Lion & Bounty (though mostly Lion), it doesn't work. NP + Invoker makes it nutty.

I dunno about you guys but I definitely liked the way EG played in game 1, hopefully that's how they play in game 2 as well.

It's a strategy, but also a way of playing against EG. Secret rolled it out at Shanghai. The ability to run Invoker + NP + Lion pretty much let's you show up anywhere on the map and gank. It destroys most timings and builds you a lead.

Empire also had the early game go really well. But giving up Lion + Bounty wasn't good.

Bounty Hunter appears to be 8-2 at the moment on the LAN. (Things are a little messy with the Ticket.)

NP + Lion or Invoker + Lion makes the strategy work. All 3 make it nutty. But they wanted stronger Initiation in the Team Fights. Granted, Bounty Hunter makes the pick offs really valuable.

Obviously he didnt think the NP would make it.. so was the idea kicking him below the threshold with his own dmg (= Deny?)
or maybe he wanted to evade the last tick with the invulnerability, so that afterwards the nightmare tick doesnt kill him.
I guress it was the latter

Watched Merlini's stream. Veggies lost because they drafted solo-core Alch and got AA'ed (and also because team fed). Tuned into WePlay to see how the real pros do it. What do I find? Solo-core Alch losing to AA with a bunch of feeders.

It's EG's version of the Global Presence. Ember flying in with Lifestealer drops your entire DPS core onto any hero in a split second.

I don't get the flow of this game lol

Empire had a good start, took some towers, then just... farted around? Didn't get any pickoffs with NS and furion, let EG get all the ganks. Now they've revived? Were they really just waiting on the alch's farm, what's going on

there was a point in the game where AA had enough of a presence towards Empire where I felt that EG was almost in a near impossible position to lose but than after i remembered alchemist is a hero.

AA just won them the game
This game is about towers and the Throne, not kills and fancy play.

Never understood why you don't ban AA when you play Alch. That hero alone makes your life hell for the entire game.

Empire imo had the chance to pull this back when they smoked into dire jungle which resulted into the fight at dire t2. This fight was imo just badly executed and from there on they lost too much

Sumail was already out of control by that point. Alch makes you not realize how fat he was.

Pretty sure it's the ember. Sleight Chains into free arrow or iceblast = ded hero

What a broken hero. So much CC and mobility for a late game hero. Has an early game power peak too. I will never know how such a hero can have only 40+% winrate in pro games

EG just shit on Empire in the midgame with all the pickoffs. I was expecting some NS-furion plays or just more straight up pushing but ember, mirana, bm and ice blasts were a lot stronger.

AA counters Alchemist, but Empire just flat out itemized badly, especially Alchemist. I think if Scandal got blink early on and with NS+NP they could have easily dispatched of AA and rekt mid game fights and even win the game from that. But they just kept farming with a ganking lineup, wtf.

I did find their desire to farm so much odd, but EG was pretty ready for it, as well.

Well yeah it was odd, because if they wanted to farm Alch should have gone level 4 on goblin greed not max out acid spray. I dont know, that Alchemist itembuild and skillbuild seemed really bad for the game they played.

Empire's only way of winning is to jump EG's heroes. Pushing directly will just result in them eating EG's long range initiation.

Blinking in with alch's networth is a good way to 322 with comeback gold. Maybe he needs bkb blink lol.

Regardless of how this goes, EG looks so much better now than they did on Day 1. Bulba is really playing a lot better.

I also just realized that in the 3 games, ppd drafted a natural Bladefury carrier every time. Haha.

i do get this strong feeling of picking invi against russians = instantly gaining 10-15% advantage in game because dust is hard to buy with russians hands.

but then i saw lion has dust though

Sumail has been a beast on Puck this game. I'm so happy to see this.

EDIT and then Sumail gets a triple beyond godlike and there is gg YES

Actually yeah, it's usually enough to see how the team is going to function.

This one is going to function as TI5 iteration of EG, largely.

Lol pretty sure RTZ's happy with the decision hes made... He must be glad he isnt playing this disastrous torney.

Secret beat EHOME(arguably a Tier 1 Chinese team) and lost to Empire due to stupid picks in those last 2 games. The skill ceiling they have as a team is high.

EG struggling vs AF and Ewolves... and beating a 322 Empire should not instill any confidence in anyone other than a fanboy. Also it subjectively feels to me like theyve reached near their max skill ceiling as a team.

Id be hella worried if I was PPD.

As this thread is full of EGfanbois, RIP me and my views.

I don't think Bulba is a god, even if he wins this lan it takes more than just that for him to be thought of as a better universe considering EG's overall accomplishments and how many games Universe has made a positive impact on throughout.

If he is a god, it'll show. If he isn't, EE = right.

The funniest part of this video is definitely watching ppd just strolling around, throwing the Chain frost and then plincking at the egg twice before dying from the burn.

And the best part is that if he didn't do that the supernova would have completed. The true selfless captain.

Secret beat EHOME(arguably a Tier 1 Chinese team) and lost to Empire due to stupid picks in those last 2 games. The skill ceiling they have as a team is high.

EG struggling vs AF and Ewolves... and beating a 322 Empire should not instill any confidence in anyone other than a fanboy. Also it subjectively feels to me like theyve reached near their max skill ceiling as a team.

Id be hella worried if I was PPD.

As this thread is full of EGfanbois, RIP me and my views.

EHOME Tier 1 Chinese team?

Wut.

Im tagging this post to quote to you after the major.

P.S: If they make it outta that minefield of a qualifiers that is....

Your post scriptum makes it all the more funny.

Guys i need you all to recognize that i was right about Bulba being a god and literally everyone else was wrong


You've been on about Bulba since 5am my time. LOL we get it Bulbu is good, at least when he's not playing Lone Druid.

i need this man.


I thought he'd be okay, but he's really shown himself after Day 1. Everything was a little wonky Day 1, but he's found another level since ppd put him on the Dark Seer. So, you were correct. Congrats?

EG is so fucking happy that the lower bracket ain't best of one games. GG I guess. Any suggestions for memorable games today? Didn't have time to watch many games unfortunately.

I don't think Bulba is a god, even if he wins this lan it takes more than just that for him to be thought of as a better universe considering EG's overall accomplishments and how many games Universe has made a positive impact on throughout.

If he is a god, it'll show. If he isn't, EE = right.


Scratching my head here.

I don't think any pro player thinks bulba is mediocre. They all think he's good even when not playing clockwerk.

If you like EG's approach of straggling another team's farm, then farming 5 more minutes, then going high ground and ending it.

Though there is one "bad" Roshan Pit fight. An EG Classic. (Though it was more much good work by Empire than a failure by EG.)

If you want to watch just 1, watch Game 2. EG was in control almost the entire game, but it was a very much a display of their TI5 approach. Insane control of the game and farming prowess.
