All ball sports have mindgames going on, it's not unique to esports.

So, does poker have doubleelim? No? Guessed so.
The best can't allways win and thats fine, it creates excitement.

I want to rewatch what the sniper was doing there.
What was VP doing there I wonder. They had no vision and sit at one of the most obvious wardspots

They were waiting for solo to come dewarding with the freshly bought gem, if EG came 5 seconds later it's a different story.

Btw, does anyone else have the issue that if they fullscreen an embedded tweet video... It full screens the page, but doesn't show the video, it just fullscreens LiquidDota? (I have to go to twitter itself if I want to watch the video in fullscreen)

Oh wow. A bit of bad luck then (or good timing from EG whatever you want to call it)

single elim doesn't stop the best team in the tournament from winning
it just messes with everyone else who rely on prize pools for a living

Alchemist took like 0 damage from those hits

Aw sad for VP, was great while it lasted. Hoping for OG now :3

Beauty of Dota 2.
How many people would drop a Radiance for a Blademail in that situation, tactical brilliance.

The smarter teams that pick up rapier will never reveal that rapier until a teamfight occur though.

Running back countering 2k item... Oh wait he sold his only mobility item for his rapier. I love forcetsaff gaming so I will blame it on the lack of forcetaves.

That change to blademail was so uncalled for by Icefraud. Don't know what's wrong with allowing bkb to counter blademail lol

Octarine actually heals you off off damage you deal with blademail even if it is physical. So he was basically healing for like 200 hp with every sniper hit that was doing... 300 damage at best.

I'm pretty sure EG had a secret shop ward, so they might have seen the rapier being bought without VP intentionally revealing it
