Newbee looks amazing tbh, this gives more value to EG's victory

I think Ehome and EG are the strongest teams right now, i feel pretty sure the winner of that series will just win ti.

You forget Wings.

These are the sort of guys who may just wreck EG in the final with first pick bloodseeker sending PPD into BSOD.

i don't believe in wings after their groups and EG has improved to the point where they're just beyond what they showed in starladder with picking stupid shit and drafts.

i mean personally, i'd like it if eg didn't win but this isn't the same eg that crumbled against FRIENDS.


honestly the EG sandbagging or creating a narrative "chip on their shoulders" theory is really making a lot of sense now.

This is basically the same team as last year with an upgrade at the 4

To be honest, none of same EG players have shown same level of play they had at TI5 until match with Newbee.

Zai is a fucking god, though.

It doesn't matter, this TI is just so sloppy in general. The games look wild and some are even exciting but these teams are fucking up a lot, and every team made some baffling errors. I feel ALMOST sure that EHome is stronger than Wings and I'm still not sure if MVP is coin flipping their way to victory.


the meta is such a way now that perfect TI3 style Alliance play is not possible

why though? i've seen this a lot, but i haven't seen it explained why "perfect play" or whatever just isn't possible

Saving strats is real though. Imagine if Secret didn't reveal their strats, they could take 3 games with huskar and 1 or 2 extra games with SD ET to be in the upper bracket. Some momemtum and confidence might change the team's fate in main event.

Secret took 3 games with huskar, actually.

And then lost to EHOME with SD-ET.

beesa's fucking right. dota isn't a game about who the strongest person in a team is anymore, it's about who the worst is.

At 12-0 rotk said Newbee still had a shot because liquid's lineup couldn't actually win the game

At something like 17-4 burning said it was over and that liquid was just waiting to gg


do you lag when watching rotk's stream?


Like a bitch unless I run it on minimum resolution and switch channels once in awhile.

Channel 3 is best.


There's a channel 3?

Wait, where else did they play sd-et?

EDIT: A single game against complexity over in Starladder meh.

You can't spam buybacks all game long to win every fights because you're outfarming the opponent so hard. Losing fights is actually punishing now, before you just spent a buyback salvage the fight and go to outfarm even more hence it looked clean because they won all fights. And roshan was way easier to control too.
