Eh, EG lost to MVP, which was pretty expected. (Bad match-up for EG.) EG was one high-ground push from going out on top of their group, just in the same way the MVP was 3 missed Shallow Graves from going out last in their group. (Seriously, Julz crumbled in all of their decider matches.) That doesn't suddenly make MVP dumpster tier or EG a title contender. But it does mean some things are simply a lot closer than anyone likes to admit.

How the hell this is considered "close", when it's the most common situation in dota.


Because LGD needed an epic hold and an EG over-extension to win that game. Which they got. It was LGD's only victory condition at that state of the game.

Sorry, what?

What he said was right you are just countering his argument with the obvious incorrect statement for the fact and point he was making. If EG changed that high ground push and had that again they would beat LGD and win the game there and then. Instead they lost Suma1l twice as he diebacked and he couldn't deal the damage he wanted and they then lost their timing window. They never EVER wanted that game to go late and it did so they lost. But they had a huge change to secure the win but they fudged the high ground assault.

This isn't a definition of a close game in my book. Ofc, when you go all-in and it succeeds, you win the match. It's the probability of success that matters, the expected value, that's the idea. No way EG had a higher than 10% chance to win that game after the early game development.
I think their strategy is to dumpster bad Western teams (c) uriel

Game 1 EG made LGD look like scrubs did they not, taking a full set of rax in 19 minutes and closing out the game. Game 2 was a closer game with LGD better in team fights and winning. Game 3 EG went with an all in strat which they did not succeed with. Close series in my book 2-1

@Pandemona, yeah I agree that LGD vs EG Bo3 was rather close. Too bad EG vs MVP wasn't. Was a fucking stomp into the ground instead. Same events happened to VGR in their group, which is shouldn't be acceptable for those high caliber players.

Of course, MVP are at the moment EGs bane, it is never close games with them and it getting scary. Oh well, i always said LGD vs EG was gonna be a close series and favored EG more due to the fact that LGD style is like EGs, farm the map then fight with significant items.
