Wings just randoms every game so I dont think they save anything.

They're saving their tournament roulette, they are using their practice roulette to determine their picks atm.

More seriously, they can make a shit tons of heroes working for them but #SavingStratsForTI has never been more real I think. This tournament does not outweight the difference between a top 13/16 and a top 9/12 at TI.

no they lost cuz they played bad

i'm not a draft apologist thats gonna insult a team by implying they're "saving strats"

i don't think people realize how unfair they're being to a team that just lost by saying "yeah they were just saying strats"

its honestly insulting and stupid if you spent more than a minute to think about it.


It's like people have this fucked up mentality that if their favorite team loses, it can't be because they got outdrafted, outplayed, and out manuvered. It has to be becuase they were saving strats. I don't think you realize how brutally insulting it is to a professional to insist the only reason they lost was because they weren't taking their livelihood seriously.

I know fan boys gonna fan boy, but its so mindblowingly stupid.

Pretty sure everyone is joking about saving strats tho

All random mode is the ultimate form of strat saving.

You're the one being insulting saying we are stupid. If you can't tell the difference between the usual fly/kuroky's draft from the drafts at this tourney, it's helpless. TI is just that important, a 17 million $ tournaments is worth sacking a 100K$ one, what's so hard to understand? TI worth 170 times this tourney in term of cash and also prestige.

I don't know why I even bother with people who think that having no carry is a standard strategy.

I don't see why those conflict.

They play around Miracle, this much has always been the case, and remains the case no matter what they pick.

I think both teams have just decided to go for "Insanity". Though I doubt this is going to have too much of an impact on the meta.

Also, I really want to see Wings vs Alliance.

Every single team is trying stuff out and hiding stuff for TI, doesn't mean they're not trying to win. They draft shit that they think can work and want to try them out on good teams. Can't be hard to understand.

Just watch the good dota and be entertained without trying to justify every single time your favourite team loses, jesus
