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.

![]() 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? | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

Then instead of Vlads you build vanguard instead into manta or abyssal vanguard is roughly the same cost as vlads iirc | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. 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 | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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? | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

They've just used more push-strats based around Drow to keep teams honest. | ||

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'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. | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

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

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 mean...Secret couldn't beat Empire, so yeah. | ||

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

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? | ||

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. | ||
