Now I also feel kinda silly questioning the Linken's. If anyone here makes the highlight reels, that definitely belongs there.

What should Naga get last, Heart?

edit: the answer was Bfly. Guess she's tanky as hell as it is, with Linken's + Octarine + Manta.

You haven't heard the story? To summarize and sorry if I summarize anything incorrectly... Ritsu formerly of C9 is a total creeper, stalked beesa, stalked beesa's sister, was threatening creeper. FDL knocked Ritsu/mason stack out of Manilla Open Qualifier so people spammed on twitch chat sister=protected.

So it's a meme of Beesa using his superior highlander genes to carry to victory.

Now I've been inspired to get back to work on getting myself to 5k.

Thanks, and good luck on grinding to 5k MMR. I should get myself into ranked games at some point, too.

Thanks, 700 points away, but gotta stay positive. :D

Hmm...going to be interesting going up against Complexity. Complexity likes to sometimes do a double initiation draft, usuall y with Linmp Axe, while FDL likes to go Fronz jungle axe. So that will be a contested pick.

Biggest factor for FDL to pull off an upset is to tighten up play, eliminate small mistakes. Complexity is a good enough team that you can't afford to give them those mistakes.

Going to be tough, FDL getting to the Summit would be a huge, huge upset, but I'm rooting for it. :D

it was actually beesa who allchatted sister=protected as the ancient exploded, thus birthing another meme

FDL takes game 1 with their signature greedy 4 core strat. I don't think I've seen Fronz play a non jungle support yet. Let's take it 2-0 and get a chance to play the big boys the next stage!


Fronz plays a pretty good Phoenix, but it's the least greedy hero I've seen him play.

It does seem to be a bit of an exploitable drafting weakness for the team, but then again the results so far have been pretty solid so you can't really argue with it.

They picked him lion game 2 and he ran around warding cliffs and sitting in trees waiting for tinker

Still, heroes like that are the exception rather than the rule for the FDL. That said, if they can get away with such greed then why not?

Yeah; it's pretty much the norm now anyways. Position 4 is practically a core at this point.
