Rumi?
On Drow Ranger: it's first phase material in China right now not because of the Push, but because you can run it as a secondary core rather than your primary one. That's why you see it in seemingly odd drafts. It makes the rest of the draft really unpredictable. Think EG with Dark Seer: they'll play it with practically anything.
It also has gotten popular as it really does counter a lot of meta heroes at the moment. Since Drow comes on line so early, you can easily snowball early, but it doesn't completely tank you now if you get to mid-game at even.

It's MRP.

Always fun watching a Wings draft because they throw in two or three meta standard curveballs.
|
Wings gets 30s penalty for taking time for bathroom break and Liquid just pauses ingame to do it?
I mean it's no big deal and maybe I'm misunderstanding but seems like a dick move
|
should be dendis voice on the russian stream. too bad i dont speak it
|
Considering the kill score this game is way closer than I would have thought. I don't think Wings will have the damage to push through them in the end no matter what happens at this point though.
|
This game isn't close at all. This is a game where you have not seen a single large mistake from the team that is winning - and that is how you know it's a top team playing.
|
While Storm Spirit is popular in China, the 60% winrate in the DPL seems like the oddity more than the true meta. It had a 35% win rate during the TI6 Regional Qualifier phase.
|
FATA & Mind_Control haven't died yet this game.
|
And this game shows how a game should end when you have a large advantage.

When was the last time Shadow Demon was heavily meta? I know a few times have tried to work it in over the last year, but it just wasn't quite enough. (Though Shadow Demon was a top-tier pick in Captain's Draft 3.0, since the best supports normally weren't in the pool.) Though maybe just the Meta has gotten back to Shadow Demon.

I'm actually a little surprised it took this long. He's always been a good hero against Beastmaster, Faceless Void, and other heroes of that ilk. I think it just took AGI carries becoming popular to push him back into people's minds, but he's been pretty good against the standard offlane meta for a while now.

Oh no Kuro pulled out the support legion, his worst invention.

Well, for most of 6.87, he was probably too defensive. We saw 2 aggressive supports for most of that patch, but with the rise of 1 aggro/1 defensive supports, it was probably just time. Though Alliance used it better before people got back to it. (That SD + Centaur strat was sick.)

Jungle legion getting rolled, as to be expected.

It's not a carry this game.

And immediate throw right after getting an advantage, because they tried to take a fight they can't take, same as before.
