Tiny is afk at the left top of the base and comes super late. Wisp not tethered to anyone and in front of the team... The darkseer wall only on drow....Ember watches as wisp gets killed and only after Tiny is half dead he starts to hit someone. It was like they had no plan for defense whatsoever. Also wtf why is EHOME vs EG the last match -_- It's called stress/panic. Turns out it can affect even the best of players  | ||

I hope they've done their homework and take/ban Batrider away from Fnatic them while denying them Nyx Assassin. Mirana should also be hotly contested (or just banned). Fnatic is a team that I think Alliance can outplay. They got straight up outplayed by EHOME yesterday, but they were not nearly as stomped as it may have appeared at first glance. Sure, the scoresheet ran away, but that's mostly because they stayed in the game when being 15k+ net worth behind and hoping for some kind of Hail Mary. I think both games could have gone the other way with a bit of luck/better focus in the mid game fights. To my great surprise Alliance actually did not crumble in the laning stage/early game. In fact, that was their best phase of both games! Perhaps that's an improvement to build from! #optimism | ||

Also wtf why is EHOME vs EG the last match -_- Don't think OG expected TNC just just charge in like that. Sleight was on cooldown, so Ember's in this panicky state where he has Rapier but can only hit things by running at them point blank. Tiny was deathly afraid of Chrono at this point, OG had absolutely nothing to stop or protect against it. Barring a bad Chrono and lucky crits, OG couldn't actually take an engagement, and apparently TNC knew that and just went straight for the throne even with everyone still alive. | ||

I saw 2-3 of Fnatic's group stage games and their game vs Escape. I haven't seen nearly enough of them to be able to make those kinds of calls. Ohaiyo does have a reputation for tempo controlling intiators though, so that sounds about right! What else should (A) watch out for? | ||

What else should (A) watch out for? Allowing MidOne to get a mobile, scaling hero that dictates the tempo of the game. Fnatic can be distressingly predictable whenever they run any combination of cores that require a lot of farm to come online e.g. Medusa + TB. But MidOne prefers heroes like Ember, Slark, and Timbersaw. | ||

What I'm gettin from this is: Ban Tidehunter (and maybe Elder Titan since (A) don't seem to play it but keep losing to it), pick Batrider 1st phase and ban Timbersaw 2nd phase (and maybe Nyx since Ohaiyo plays a mean fu**ing Nyx). Something along those lines? | ||

What else should (A) watch out for? haha..i am no expert on these things..just that i know few things about them due to following them..the only thing i can add to fellow fnatic guy below me is ,it looks like DJ is the pivotal point of the team(which he is for most of the time) but it's actually ohaiyo who makes or breaks the game for them..if u shut him down soo much , they will find it hard to comeback on the back of other 4's and ohaiyo won't make those plays with his initiating heroes. | ||
