Nice to see that ppd's spirit lives on in VGJ.
Good on you ROTK, you do him proud ^^

why ?

EG broke out the Treant-Phoenix combo. And maybe also the Phoenix Medusa but I'm not sure on that one.
This definitely looks like a ppd draft, I thought it was funny.

Always loved that draft from DAC. First picks Troll and Enigma/Chen (meta heroes), into daring other team to waste a ban/counter-pick on Tree or Phoenix.
Average means I'm better than half of you.

DC trying to fight into a teamfight comp when the opponent is grouped up.

Guess they're no Alliance.

they only had 1 hero with enough building hitting potential to be a rat at all and there were multiple ways to catch that hero

lets not pretend dc had any chance after letting dusa get above 30k networth

sans more of vgj trying to 2v5 or 3v5 at least

I think Furion could have baited the other team to catch him.

If it's only Venge/Tree and Aba then Ember and spectre could have joined and destroyed the 3v3.

Certainly better chance rather than trying to 5v5.

Pretty sure phoenix + AoE disable have been a thing since phoenix was enabled in CM.

Goblak introduced the medusa orgre magnus strat, where you 5 man around medusa and use every buff on her.

Goblak put Treant into competitive play, when no one else did.

Considering he used it first against Goblack. It's probably the other way around.

But in a pro game I definitely think it was a first back at DAC.
Can't remember the team that first used the wyvern phoenix combo as well. VG? Ehome?

Goblak's treant obession started with the half French squad, can ppd make French players look good?

Actually it is more likely he used Goblaks invention against himself. That would be more like PPD.

I just realized VP could play as late as 11pm local time. Sucks for the fans who wanted to see the home team in the case they somehow lose to vitality.

Is old ember (double bf, crit, etc... ) That bad nowadays ? Feels like the meme ember has been figured out

Then again not sure old ember would benefit much from its talents

Pros are never the experts on specific heroes unless they spammed that hero before becoming a pro.

I like DCs draft a lot more than game 1, but I'm concerned VGJ could just run over them in under 30 minutes if they aren't able to slow the game down.

Don't understand why axe isn't pick especially against jugg. Blademail axe can solokill jugg the entire game. I got so sick of seeing him in every game of my pubs.
