It's beta, calm down.
I am more thinking about the players insistence to pause in a team fight.

Do you suggest that they never use what pauses are intended if there were issues and play even if it's lagging or PC goes to hell or are you accusing them of cheating ?

why are you only raising this question when secret pauses and not OG .. what if i told you that you could use the same reason as you whenever OG pauses even if it were not fights that they are tactically pausing and discussing the game
Pauses are most likely intended for an agreed upon pause between two parties, or you pick an opportune moment to have it. If you pause at a time where it only ends up being an advantage for you doing it, and disadvantage for opposing party, you are now using a tool to mentally rock your opponent in a game where mentality and precision matters the most.

I didn't raise it yesterday, and OG was the target of them 3-4 times in the same game.

So you have double standards since i never heard you raise this point when OG does this. OG has done this kind of pause before.

You only raised on Secret when OG has done it as well before but you never said this stuff before . Classic dracolich.

And are you suggesting that you never pause even if your team is having issues with pc, lags or what not if the enemy isn't ? Just accept it and move on ? LMAO

A bit questionable by EE, but I enjoy seeing games like this from Secret.


Bladefury was the wrong choice considering the pace of the game. There was barely any time for him to farm since they were pushing so hard. The game would have been a lot easier if he just got some survivability instead.

Why did they try and take the 2nd set of rax. Dear oh dear

because now they took a 2nd set of rax?

They did not, they took a rax and lost 2 cores out the game and the gold swing from that must have been a fair whack, especially due to Alchemist getting that. 900 gold to chen in there.


what? they got the top melee, as well as bot. what game were you watching?

They got a set of rax, killed 3 heroes with small respawn timers on. Then proceeded to loop around to top where respawn timers are again getting lower, proceed as 2 heroes Rtz and EE to try take another set of rax. They forced 3 bbs it seemed i thought was only Naix, then got caught and died. Which they only managed to kill the ranged rax. I thought they could have waited for that. Thought was not needed and to go again with 5. Puppey still had blackhole iirc and go back in again with a full lion. Oh well

He probably just invested for the lategame incase the push didn't work. Kinda like buying midas or building up for the lategame instead of the game even when you can possibly finish the game.

But i prefer he got something else instead of Bfury

(i'll assume that bladefury = battlefury and just a typo)

Not sure about the double standards. I just told you about they were the target of this, but didn't mention it still. I have complained about tactical pauses since March 2012, where Na'vi paused everytime a big team fight was about to pursue or when it was very convenient.

I am not saying that issues can't happen. I as a skeptical person, who isn't retarded, question the timing of them. Reverse questions. Do tactical pauses happen? Deciding the pause timing, is an advantage as opposed to the target of it, yes or no?

secret as "European union" still cracks me up.

3 of their players are from NA.

I get that it's not where the players are from, but what region they choose to compete in... still so odd.

I guess the battlefury build is for late-game insurance, just in case they couldn't finish early.

Jugg needs that item to stay on pace with farm.

Yeah, I'm sure that's it. In hindsight something else would probably have been better, but hindsight = 20/20, etc.

If you're in a position where your late game is relatively strong and the creep wave is favourable such that the enemy can't force your buyback, such trades are very favourable to you.
