Highly leveraged mistakes seems like EE's specialty.

Though Secret should, hopefully, be playing a ton better by the end of the tournament. It feels like Puppey hasn't quite figured out how he wants to use Universe, as well. (He played better in game 2, but it seemed like a lot of gold that didn't do much damage by the end.)

Kind of wish we had the MDL format. I'd have liked to see all of the teams play off in a Bo2 before a bracket.

There were so many spots that Secret just didn't jump the supports, let Kaka live long enough to do Wisp things.

Arteezy really seemed to play pretty badly far too often.

Congrats to Newbee on winning a game they really should have lost.


I don't agree with the "should have lost". Their high ground defense was amazing, and they had a very easy time running away from the BKBs/DP ult due to Secret's draft, which is why they kept surviving. Once they had double ravage they could very easily cut off the Secret cores from the supports. And eventually they just outscaled Secret.

While EE made mistakes on the huskar, Newbee overall did a huge amount of work in just stalling.


They weren't able to end the game because of two big mistakes by EternalEnvy and Arteezy, both of which set the game back two minutes each. Four minutes is a lot in Dota, and it was what gave Newbee the time to get what they need.

It was an amazing game from newbee, they were very disciplined. The team making the less mistakes winning is true in every team game or sport. If anything it proves they are better than secret, which tbh does not mean much atm. But their streak means something.
They beat a Secret that have only beat EHome, and lost twice to Empire. Then they beat CoL and DiG, and finally numberous of Chinese teams, whose strength is hard to quantify(much like much of the others in Dota currently).

I thought it was customary for azarkon to start with western hype into EU+NA hype into NA hype into EG hype into PPD hype?

I think it's safe to say that dota and especially pro teams make no goddamn sense whatsoever now, if they ever did at any point in the past. I think that's exciting. I wonder what will happen when Azarkon runs out of koolaid mix?

i wish that one group round robin returned tbh just make it b02

gsl groups is unsatisfying and flawed as hell .. less games for fans of any teams even the shitty ones and more doubt on whoever progresses since they only play 2-3 teams to get to playoffs

So the question is will Col prove they have Fantasy GG timing and we should endure 15-20 more min of agony?
