It was a failure in the Ban-Phase. Wisp + Bristle is the strong pairing they use. (MVP uses it really well too.) The offlaner gets the Ancients and you end up with 3 farmed cores.


If they weren't so far behind, would of gone better. Void with farm still good kill potential solo even without chronosphere, the ult sets up devastating egg from phoenix and earth splitter from elder titan, which is a huge amount of damage. Razor tank, drains damage, more aoe from his ult, centaur ult to disengage from the triple melee core from newbee.

It was a decent idea, didn't work out in practice.

So it is streak gold that is really really broken because that's the only reason you might get a massive swing like that.

They also have a hard time killing void due to dodging 1/4 of all damage with his skill and then cent disengage when time for full pull back.

Ver was right though.

The gold gain and rubberband mechanic is just so ridiculous.

When OG lost the first big teamfight in mid in Game 1, they had to fight so MUCH harder to win because of 1 mistake.
Same in Game 2. Newbee got a bit cocky and got team wipe and the game dragged out for another 30 mins.

Team that gain that lead should not get punished so hard.
Game 1 was much different. First of all OG was far ahead, second of all Newbee had BH.


OG got far ahead because they were dominating the early-mid game.

All of that got erased because they messed up their teamfight at mid lane.

The risk-reward ratio just isn't fair IMO.
You can say that, but it was because they were so far ahead, dumstering Newbee on end, while Newbee had BH. It is the best case scenario for the rubberband+BH mechanic, that made the swing, which essentially was much due to OG being too overconfident. They were still far ahead though, and it was more a matter of not throwing winning still.

Without rubberband, we would just have early-mid timings and ganking heroes.

Well, good catch, divide all numbers by 3 then.

EDIT: Wait, OG gives away both bird AND disruptor?

But without the rubberband we could have 50 mins game that is already end at 10 min. With rubberband, it never really finishes. So really a double edge issue here.


I wouldn't mind it if lane dominators became relevant again.

Haha, Newbee didn't want a repeat of the Huskar effect.

Though I've not been sold on OG's Wisp play since Summit 4. We'll see if they have a new wrinkle.
