Lets see how EG handle the 5 man , you bet your ass Liquid is gonig to bring it with Lycan/BM/Razor/NP , should be a good series of clash of styles , 5 man liquid vs no fight 20 min style of EG.

A lot of other strats have basically been killed in some form or another.


Yes, that's why I watch (and play) way less Dota than before. I even find 4 protect 1 more interesting to watch, it can let players show their game-feel, ganks, rotation and a few team-fights.
With this 5 man push strats you only see teamfights and a lot of parts the game aren't an option anymore.

Buff kotl of the light!

Sorry Azarkon. This was a straight up draft loss. Even a tier 2/3 team wud have raped NB with such a draft advantage.


They got out pick two out of three games and even the second game was close to it. You simply can't do the same strategy again and again, and hope it works. You get out pick when you get figure out.

Against drow strats I feel you should not be contesting then when they are 5man pushing your T2. You should be trading their T1s. Basically keep trading towers. Drow strats thrive on getting an early gold lead through towers, but you minimise it by taking their towers too.

The only time you contest should be at T3 and roshan. The latter in particular is very important to deny them.

EG will probably get their ass handed to them. EG seems to fall short against Drow strats or heavy push strats in general.

This is also what happens when you win too much. You don't even understand the weakness of your pick, so when you do get figure out, you have no way to change it.


China's lack of good drafters has been their undoing for much of the last 2 years. It's the reason, for all of their faults, Xiao8 & Rotk can always find teams. Fy looked really good on VG.R for actually adapting. But Newbee is less about the drafts and more about Chuan & Kaka's synergy & play. So keeping them off a good synergy with the Strategy coming at them is the important way to counter Newbee.

Azarkon was right, Newbee was left.


nah. nb made too many significant mistakes, if it wasn't for those, OG wouldn't have won

/s


What does that even mean? Every game, people will make mistakes, teams make mistakes. You win by capitalizing on your opponents mistakes and minimizing yours. OG put themselves in a good position to do exactly that.

What was Newbee going to do that game? Slark can't 1 v 5 early and OG would be together, best way to keep slark under control is to not give him pick off opportunities. Even if Newbee took better early fights, OG could just push, take towers, take rosh whenever Newbee's ults were on cooldown. It wasn't play mistakes as an outdraft.


Pretty sure he was doing his version of Azarkon's explanations/excuses whenever a western team loses to a Chinese one.

It's why OG and Newbee are doing very well this patch.
OG love to play 5 man fights based around Miracle.

And Newbee loves 5 man teamfight since TI4.

Also, it's why Alliance will be back to the dumpster.
And EG will adapt.

Play your best
