1 lucky egg into game over. Nice!

lucky? pff come on it was clearly calculated newbee are that next level

Pretty sure that was the yolo egg and it worked out. Could have easily gone the other way.

Ya he just buybacked got into a fight where Aui and Suma1l clean up whole of newbee if they don't get egg'd but they both did and over.
Oh well was fun game


For all of the back & forth of high level games, some games really do come down to .25 of a difference. If the eggs dies, Sumail & Aui clean up the cores there then at least take a rax.

bulba already had blink, the extra range is pretty worthless compared to disruptor aghs

aghs to bm was game losing tbh

Bane aghs could've decided the game, too.

Sumail should've known better: no octarine trash. Simple heart+stalling before his teammates got 3 aghs.
I think their strategy is to dumpster bad Western teams (c) uriel

Seriously, this was a fun game and everyone is talking about a fucking Liquid troll. Jesus.

Well done Nb, hopefully ppd's food poisoning will be over tomorrow and we can get some decent hype games

Yeah, you're right it was a good game but it's a good LR too :D

Secret's series against newbee was closer than this EG series. i dont understand how people can say current secret is bad.most of their problems are just draft issues

I came late to the party. Can someone tell me why there was no bkb on alchemist? Seemed to me that was one of the reasons he could not kill the egg? (this is not a flame, I really have no clue why no bkb vs invoker++).

Secret did about as well as PPD's team did against Newbee. I don't think they're worse. So are we saying the two Western teams in the other group are the best, then? I'm not sure about that. Maybe Miracle's team can pull it out again but I didn't see anything especially excellent from them.

which is exactly what azarkon has been decrying about chinese teams that form based on star power instead of "new talent" etc

Hyped for EG vs Seckret. Maybe see which team can stay upper bracket.

Oh, come on.

It's all about head to head results. Sumail and Bulba made mistakes, but they aren't even comparable to the sloppiness of RTZ and Universe provided.

I think no bkb is fine? He used Manta I think and was attacking without a -attack speed debuff, but it just wasn't enough.

So you'd rather go for a team that hasn't had results since winter last year?

why did sumail give aghs to beastmaster and not to disruptor -- disruptor aghs is 1 of the best aghs upgrade in the game plus they don't need the extra range on primal roar cuz glimpse + aether lense is already like 50 screens long anyway

Not buying a BKB vs invoker always confuses me, but he did really well without it. I also think there is a risk that the team just kites out the BKB every time he pops it.
