But they never ended up playing each other. | ||

If Icefrog wants push strats to make a come back, then buff Storm back to his broken form. | ||

Very good results by any standards, but they struggled through every tournament, and did so due to PPDs adaptive strength and the teams resiliance, which was unquestionable. Few are surprised by these results in this one, and why would you think.Show nested quote + On May 14 2016 19:19 Dracolich70 wrote: On May 14 2016 19:17 Taf the Ghost wrote: Thought you were on about how PPD outdrafted OG, and EG looked stronger coming into the semis of this.

It's like TI4 but with longer games. That salt. This patch is better than the previous one which was better than all other patches since comeback gold. Before that, we had some tinker/void patches and no offlane at all. I'm not sayin it's the best patch ever but it's certainly an improvement over the previous one (yo invoker od). And TI4 was good outside of VG games, the patch jsut came too late for a TI and it showed great improvement after the post TI4 reshuffle as many new strats began to appear. | ||
