It was both man, sumail had an unreal game too. Universe was godlike tho


every single EG player played well (PPD with the calculated feed and fantasy points)

Fear had some good initiations and zai farmed like a machine for a 4 position, he had a dagon at the end too (and allowed for the cheese pushes with illusions)

I mean I'll even give you Zai and Fear, they both played phenomenaly. But Suma1L did absolutely nothing spectacular this game. I'm not saying he's shit etc, I'm saying he's not the one worthy of all this praise right now. He's not the one who made any of the game winning plays.


I think sumail's midgame play was pretty good. Like when he didn't have aghs/just got aghs. I don't think he was the actual MVP of EG (that would be zai/universe) but he played well.

Mirana is pretty damn op right now though

I think Ehome now tilt and finish at best 4th.

Game was never supposed to go that long. For either team's planning.


I agree but I just scratch my head with the decision to pick Ogre. Where did he fit in the plan? They already had rock and roar to lock people down.

This was definitely a Uni-god game. He was actually playing Carry Void from the beginning, something we should have noticed.

Btw, what did burning-rotk say about this game?


they couldn't believe it. thinks the dagon eblade combo with supports to defend high ground was ingenious.

alright fuck this. why is everyone acting like EG played this amazingly well? if anything, ehome outplayed eg on so many occasions but because of the nature of their draft it was close to impossible for them to break highground.

Even so, they still managed to get fucking mega creeps only to make one little mistake at the end. Fuck Potm and sd, broken heroes.

And yes, im super salty.

you're being ridiculous, EG played around the golems incredibly well. Sumail, Zai, Fear played fucking amazingly and Im not even an EG fan


Yeah, they played incredbly well around the golems. By always getting hit. Amazing stuff. I hope your next argument won't be the axe call into aa ulti. Or the amazingly difficult potm dagger into double starstorm + eblade + dagon combo.


so sitting behind your carry waiting to hit chaotic offering or press your ignite button is hard? you're a funny guy

Wth are you guys even talking about. They couldn't break hg because they fucking dove base repeatedly with their bkbs and used half their spells on void without killing him
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer

LanM's general picking strategy:

1. Did they ban kunkka? If yes, wait, if no, pick kunkka.

2. Did they ban undy? If yes, pick ogre, if no, pick undy.

3. Otherwise, if pocket strategy is planned, pick ET, otherwise, pick ogre.

Maybe it wasn't flashy but I was watching his pov and the guy was juggling like 3-5 extra items in his last inventory slot during fights in the base, swapping between linkens, bkb, maelstrom, aghs, blink.

I dunno who the MVP is, I dunno which team made the more critical mistakes. All I know is that game was a joy to watch, thanks to both teams.

lol you have 3 pro players calling it the game of the tournament and can't decide who is the most MVPest of the MVPS, crazy tension, fans going wild, insane finish, triple dagon + rapier, and people are actually in here complaining

zai had some amazing saves and initiations too. SD is the secret broken hero people aren't talking about (relative to ET or Mirana or Timber)
