Finally someone gets nullifier + bloodthorn for late game. It's so much superior than say getting scythe + another damage item.

Terrible game, EG relied heavily on VP going full throw, EG did not make a single good call that game. Good teamfight and farming patterns though but they still need a leader, individual skill won't bring you further.

VP were straight up shook by the end of that first game. Let's see if they can rally. I hate everything they stand for but they play some great dota.

Wyvern I think is now out of the Meta. Teams found ways to punish the early pick of it. VP just couldn't close the game before Medusa got too big. I also don't think VP really threw, but they were pressing because they felt the timer getting closer. That explains the last few fights.

It still does not change the fact this game involved very few decisions from both teams, one had to attack, the other to defend, I've not seen any mind blowing call like liquid can provide every game. It was not great dota, just fight fight fight zzz

And WW had 3 wins 1 loss from first pick in this tournament, though liquid vs fnatic was pretty much sealed before the game.

VP had some terrible decision making in that game, that was honestly really bad dota. Trying to focus down the Medusa in team fights? They don't have the dps to focus down the medusa, every fight they focus medusa they got crushed. That was the biggest problem IMO, but there was a lot of other issues as well.
Why are my allies so weak and pathetic?

Didn't watch the first game, but why do teams still pick Weaver. Maybe it's just the games I've watched but that hero doesn't seem to win, at least not in the 1 role.

Edit: Went through all the games this tournament and Weaver is 0-6, so yeah, seems like it may be a bit overrated.

Incredibly sloppy plays, first the Sonneiko canceled TP, then the General cogs trapping all his team, gave the game to Newbee.

I honestly don't understand this hate. If Na'Vi lose to Newbee, 2nd at the International, they will be 5th-6th at a Major: it means only 4 teams did better. VP had the same result (and losing vs EG, not vs Newbee). Fnatic got a worse result.

Nothing to do with hate. It's just ridiculous how they can go from beating VP 3:1 to throwing so hard it makes EE look like a stable player.

Navi got outdrafted and were pressing to try to do something to make up for it. Makes for a lot of mistakes. Or they're just having a bad day.

underlord aura was V A L U E in 5v5 lol. a little overlooked.
not only for the -damage aura, the hero gets like 300+ damage when you teamwipe them and have the talent.

if you look what both offlane heroes provide, exactly the same items and very similar roles, except you don't need to land the anchor smash, nor put yourself in danger to do the same things with underlord.
what is scary is that if navi heroes can outposition and get a good SF ulti off, NB heroes actually can't fight or do damage.
i think maybe monkey king was actually better here.

my main reasons i thought navi were gonna win the game and had the better draft was cause of pitlord and his atrophy autra in team fights, once bkbs came up from navi, aside from luna would have not been able to do shit and atrophy aura lessens lunas dmg + with kunkas rum buff? with that and all the disables and auras they have to pick off cores (mainly qop).
ive underestimated venge in the past but mineski has shown how viable vs is as a core esp with a teamfight centric lineup like navi had and a hard carry in sf
someimes i just watch the draft in mute cause its apparent a lot of these casters dont know jack

counter bkbs negate qop and then its back to qop getting disabled and rekt lol

there were too many disables where linkens wouldnt of mattered

if newbee played around well . It would've and the multiple disables wouldn't be a big issue as you would think. There are plenty of games where somebody plays a fragile shit and the enemy team has a lot of catch but they'd still win.

Overall newbee has a well rounded draft where they could've exploded midgame. Assuming they put the sf in a tough position midgame cause VS wouldn't really be able to solo carry

or i could rambling senselessly

liquid's draft countered medusa about as hard as you can counter her without mana drain. Just get enough sustain that her slow damage never adds up.

Why even bring in a former proplayer as a caster if his "insight" is just "that was bad, I'm best LD, lul"
Should just let fogged cast again and relieve of ODpixel of the struggle to basically solo a cast of the upper bracket finals...

oh for sure, it was 9th pick for them, but the lifestealer to make it even viable is the stroke of genius.
yeah any other game doom is fat, buys a blink, and dooms your lesh.
but he can't this game. they open tusk io and play neutral/defensive and don't deal well with getting run at.
that is all on lifestealer which no other hero can do.

part of it, at least like 30% of it is also liquid's draft. but yeah, the adaptation by secret was clutch shit

It's just picks that are good against doom. Naix doesn't give a shit about doom. Leshrac doesn't either as long as he pops ult during doom long ass cast time. And they have track to help disengage or choose their fights.

I made a joke to myself that Bulldog got denied entry to the US at TI because he told customs something along the lines of "Yah, so I'm going to Seattle, whip out my donger, show Kaci, and Volvo's going to pay me a million dollars for it." I now feel that that thought isn't a complete exaggeration.

at the earthsplitter, fata uses his duel mana to use overwhelming odds instead of trusting SF to double raze for free duel damage sad face. to be fair he was 1 mana off and had a clarity in his inventory so that was an option also.

if his SF builds drums into SnY i'm gonna lose my shit
welp. that's what he's doing LOL
better hope they can secure rosh

Wait, can morph morph attributes when he's being dueled or is miracle just quick and so clutch on those morphs right before the duel everytime?

it seems to be the exact same bug as disruptor's kinetic field.

Didn't expect SF to even die once there. Guess it was rubick passive amplifying the nuke lol and qop's veil probably

Morph can morph if he is not silenced. So even when stunned, dueled or into crono.

Secret on a tear this bracket. 2-0'ing EG and Newbee followed by 2-1'ing Liquid.

Morphling can't morph if he is dueled, since duel silences. He can when Axe called. Just checked in demo mode.

So yes, Miracle has really fast fingers^^

Yapzor played an amazing game. Really wished Secret would just drop 2 series and be out of the tournament, but credit where credit is due.
low gravity, yes-yes!

Secret looks amazing.

Biggest surprise for me in this lineup is Fata-, I thought when he was playing with EE's NP/Cloud9 he looked like the weakest link but that must have been a chemistry thing - he looks great on Secret.

Fata was great before TI as far as I recall and at TI the entire team crumbled pretty badly. And ofc he's playing a new role which maybe even suits his strengths as a player better than mid nowadays does

Liquid drafted the same shitty way NB/VP did. Morph+QoP+MK into ET+Bane opener? Please explain.

On other hand, MidOne+Ace are rolling on every hero they get, it's scary.
I think their strategy is to dumpster bad Western teams (c) uriel

The whole of Secret played superbly well against Liquid, Ace not dying on Razor, Yapzor getting some clutch stomps, they even managed to shut down Miracle- Morph, ggwp both teams.

it's to shore up the lane. MK is supposed to be able to do something in lane with rubick + ogre setup. it doesn't matter which hero is on the receiving end.
i believe QoP was both denial and flex pick and they ended up having to pick MK beside both QoP and morph and to even have a chance in a single lane.
obviously they didn't get caught by ogre + rubick, so that entire thing with MK looks retarded and the dominoes for that hero fall rapidly.

personally i think morph in duo vs duo or tri vs tri is miserable vs. bane + LC, it is unwinnable/they can't have morph go even and so they didn't even consider that.
as morph is the priority to get a workable lane between their three cores, neither queen nor MK can lane vs razor no matter how much help he gets, and if they fail trying (which they did once in the 3v1 bot) morph gets nothing mid.
eventually, neither of those heroes can lane vs LC either, and eventually-eventually, even ET or bane can contest them solo. there is no lane pressure.

IMO, bane is the hero that throws the wrench in the works b/c it achieves w/e it wants with enfeeble.
need to further secure razors lane? easiest thing in the world.
secure SF so he takes over and EXP is efficient for the team? start mid. stack when razor is fine and there's nothing.
ET is beautiful because they can't punish it in lane either.

so, wonderful drafts by secret, i put them a tier up on everyone else so far at dreamhack.

PL needs to rotate mid or top. they can kill any of those two lanes while omni is static.
i don't see any other option lol, unless they just want to trade farm.

that...... was a low level game by navi lol
makes me forget how well they did in the last game of the NB series

sighh here we go, navi gonna pick bane+clock or shaman+weaver again, unless they get denied bane (again).
can't imagine they'll bank on shaman after a game like that, so undying clock it is.

Well gotta say, EG sure styled on Navi in this game. Sure the gold advantage was only 8K at most, but still impressive.

Well, the throw has been impressive actually. Na'Vi disrespected EG and suicided. They can play greatly, but they still lack consistency. 4Th place isn't that bad anyway.

Thats weird. Why Liquid won the game means they deserved, but when the lost, there must be something wrong about their pick or laning, why it cant be Secret is playing better or stronger than Liquid? Anyway, there is still loser bracket for the loser to come back.

Same pick LO + Tiny and Secret learned from first game.
Increased their movement speed take down the LO first, up their HP to at least can withstand 2 tiny's spell.
Give Midone hero with Massive damage output and Ace a hero who can hard farm and finish the opponent. Midone is aggressive, he can die with all his spell casted and then Ace will complete their mission.

And Secret really need to learn how to deal with team who abuse Forcestaff extensively, typical example is Liquid. Forcestaff team, and Liquid is good in using forcestaff and counter back the fight from disadvantage to advantage.
