Not sold on the LC pick to deal with Lycan. I am not sure if it was all Aui or that he just couldn’t’ get shit done with that hero.

No! You do not get to spew filth on the best offlaner in the world(?shared with Zai?) jus cos your team got roflstomped and you are in denial of their state of play.

What I do suggest? Your cure!

Can't blame Sumail too much. He plays storm the same way like always.

Aui did alright, and so did Bulba. Not much Fear can do with this hero

Lol the delusional fanboii is strong in this one. You reduced that game down to one fight?? It was a rape... not even close if you ignore blitzu's biased cast!


I saw no forced sex anywhere.

EG definitely had a solid shot at a comeback but some miscommunication in that fight took that away.

let's be honest, people called it a gg pre-15 minutes for a reason. EG was so far behind and Liquid threw really, really hard in the midlane.
And then unthrew again and just continued to dominate.

It certainly was scary inbetween but overall pretty stomp. Maybe not as much as game1 but still.

Nah it's not just that, you still have to contribute in early ganks (albeit drafts were shit for that, granted), and you have to stay alive / weave in and out of fights and throw Shurikens around and save your teammates with utility items etc.

None of that was seen from the BH this series. Yes vision is like 90% of the reason for picking the hero but he still has to play like an actual hero and not resign to the game being 4v5.

I'm surprised the casters underestimated DK's scaling and the strength of Howl + Chilling Touch. Breathe Fire damage reduction + multiple right-click buffs is gross.

It was actually working out all right (surprisingly enough) when the chrono was timed after the duel. It broke down when the two weren't working together: aui blinking into the bubble, or bulba forced to throw a chrono defensively and aui not there.

Well, Kuroky's team was the only team to easy win OG this tournament, so they have to be the favorite until the final.

And PPD's team does need a coach now that their coach became a player.

In the last fight, Aui was way out of position, finds DK gets stunned and gets owned without making any damage. Previous fight he jumped in Chrono and died again without doing anything. On top of that Sumail had one of the worst [mana management wise] SS I've ever seen.

I'm not saying that's not true but it's also true that they did have a good shot at coming back after Liquid's mistakes.
That's what it takes to come back, force/let/hope that the opponents make mistakes.

-Edit- That's why Idra could never do comebacks in SC2, he never stuck around long enough for his opponents to make mistakes. Nor did he ever really try to force them. I dislike dismissing mistakes as throws offhand the way we like to do in this community.

I never said universe wasn't the best. People use dumb rankings on websites like this and don't watch games, though, and people don't understand that every single offlaner in the game has bad ults or initiations. It's an impossible job to play perfectly.

Bulba has done extremely well in EG, and when people point to the few mistakes he's had in games and resort to "NOT UNIVERSE!" it's just a really dumb argument. Universe has both done a ton of shit ults and initiations AND is the best offlaner.

But fortunately, they have the last opportunity, provided they beat the other teams even after a lose to OG.
