To me that's the definition of not top-tier. He can coast through a simple game but he can't gain advantages where there were none to begin with (which is what the top-tier players do). He's top-tier at other aspects of the game but for someone who has been playing professionally since Dota 1 and never made any waves outside of ppd's cozy leadership people really liked to inflate him as some sort of higher being who was above Dota.

Historically, Real Madrid should have won CL like every other year for last 20... But they havent. Theier Galcticos style has not been successfull in thropies. But its been a success in making them the biggest club in the world... + the 2 CL throphies last 3 years ofc makes a differnece, but they are not the same as before (Galcticos) imo

In EG, Universe was often given lanes were he could 1v1, and he always did well in 1v1's.
He would struggle more when he was 1 vrs 3 (naturally), but still wouldnt realy die or feed.

im seeing zai go to secret after ti6. on another note, great to see the puppey greed fail. he wanted an alstar team, now he has it, and they suck...you cant switch out players all the time, and think it will work.

They had enough lockdown that N0Tail never did anything in the fights.
Disruptor Aghs is actually a brutal counter to a lot of carries.

I remember when Sylar obliterated him at TI4 on a relatively even DS vs NP. Which ended up giving VG a 15min victory almost by itself.

They either won league or win champions league they are more than successful for what they do. Since 1999 they have only had 3 season where they did not either win champions league or the league title, thats pretty outstanding

Ok, so u remamber one game he got obliterated I probably should have said something els then "always"... Point still stands, he was usually a reliable 1v1 player, rarely lost.

I think Invoker QW instead of DP was a much better pick imo.
