i dont think riki's an every game hero

the hero has counters and counterplay

but og might ban it anyway

TB alch combo is meant to open up the map by downing towers fast, so it buy time for them mid game to farm up. Pretty common setup in previous tournaments.

The problem is the shit SD pick. You really can't pick supports that don't win lanes anymore which is part of the reason why the meta is so stale.

factors why tb is not a comeback hero, especially against riki:

you need a good sunder to perform disproportionately relative to networth

you need bkb to get a good sunder in this kind of gamestate

you need to not buy bkb to have a chance in fights

This is OG's bread and butter though. They dream about getting TB Alchemist. It has to be figured out eventually. TB being behind still fulfills his roll for OG. A strong right clicker that can not be ignored and will wreck your base if you mess up.

This leaves IG in a good position for the rest of the games too if they win. They just have to ban Naga instead of both.

but they just won a completely dominant game with alch venge yesterday

i cant imagine tb is their most favored alch core partner

alch himself is the basewrecker if enemies mess up

i firmly believe alch is the only hero left in the game where you can draft a 4p1 and win
