PPD needs to start drafting tankier supports for him, or at least ones that are more useful.


Newbee is using a version of what Secret & Liquid used on EG at Shanghai. They got pretty much all of the heroes they wanted for it. But Lion is really key to making it work (since Finger is always going to get you a kill). This is wholly on Peter not being prepared for this strategy. It's how everyone has adapted to their farming efficiency.


I kind of agree but I'm not sure if Lion is the key, I think its more about Chuan playing way better than PPD and his positioning is just impeccable. PPD simply plays on a level way below that of Chuan and has a hero that is terrible against all of NB's lineup, so it just looks like is absolutely useless, bar his mana aura.

The only saving grace EG has is getting this game to ultra late game when ET can wreck Spectre's HP with a good ulty.


Newbee showed a version of this also during the Chinese Qualifiers, so the fact that PPD wasn't prepared for it is the biggest issue.

Granted, part of the "EG wins 2-1" issue is that Peter forces you to have a plan for them. It feels like he gives away too many games as a result, but, hey, they tend to win more series than they lose.


I get that, but he can do the same by picking another hero for him, I think anything other than CM can work better than this. He just feeds way too many kills and does nothing.

EG might have looked pretty outclassed, but hey at least the Sven did the impossible and outfarmed a Spectre.

China can't play Wisp, they said.
It's like 2½ years ago, they got thrashed with it, after they said they didn't fear it. About time they did it, perhaps they needed the Koreans to do it first.

When will PPD stop picking the same hero's. Stop giving Sumail puck all the time. He plays a nasty Lina, use to be their go to counter against the wisp line ups.

I'd have love the Treant, but I don't think it was going to help. The CM might also been because ppd realized he'd screwed up.

Last picking CM was really bad by PPD. Although it may not have made a difference what hero he was on.
