One thing that has "always" triggered me when watching pro games with Dusa is that most throw the snake directly at the target instead of letting it bounce first for more damage. I know it may sometimes be risky to not use it on the target they wanna damage/kill, but many times they just pass down on free damage for no reason.

Bouncing snake is fairly easy to dodge. Especially in laning, and you really want the hero+ranged mana steal whenever you cast it.

Ye but when the target is disabled etc, it feels like its basically a no risk play.

Is BKB actually bad for you against Naga ulti? In that last fight Abed got focused while all the others were asleep.
This game is about towers and the Throne, not kills and fancy play.

Like the panel said it felt like Fnatic should have put WW or NS to help Abed mid. Now the lanes were a big disaster. I felt like later on you could see that Fnatic's heroes weren't that bad and they could take OG on pretty well even when behind but the difference was big enough that they couldn't wipe OG even if they got a really good initiation.

Sometimes it can be like that but in this game it was against Tiny and Invoker so I think BKB is pretty necessary. Also Fnatic wants to start fights by blinking in with DP etc, silencing and killing someone, which won't work if the Naga can always just sleep.

OG's first bans against Fnatic are pretty nice. Fnatic constantly picked their support duo first in the groups and it was mostly Tusk+AA or Rubick+ET. OG taking those away forces Fnatic to do something pretty different

This Weaver is suffering pretty hard in lane. TA is doing great though. 111 cs at 8:30 rofl

Again EE's hero is heavily pressured in lane and is having a hard time

And right as I say that Reso pulls an Aui and dies to ancients as Sven and s4 dies right after to EE

Fnatic hasn't really used Abed's hero at all. He is just farming alone not participating in the game, generally Medusa is great at delaying tower pushes.

Seems like a straight forward draft win. I don't see OG's game 3 lineup beating Fnatic.

EE is back in the finals of a dota minor. After the initial problems in SEA this is a great way to end the year for fnatic.

Well this was a decisive throning from Fnatic.

Can't watch the finals but smells like a 3-0 or 3-1 for VP. Fnatic is dangerous if they get their picks right but I think VP is more versatile and is likely to get a draft advantage in a few games at least

Don't know I think it's not that bad but there are a few heroes with a slight bit too much late game potential.

I love the return to emphasizing mechanics in the laning phase, but the AoE-flash-farming-core trend is just tiring.

Biologically or in terms of thinking?

Biologically no idea

@Thinking: From his streams I'd say he feels the need to do more on the map. The idea is that loosing a hero is way less loss than normally bc of rubberband and if shit happens, it was a hard game anyways. But if you go extra greedy or split more to keep the map open and get away with it you start coming back.

It's a similar train of though to how teams do desperation 5-man smokes. Envy just incrementally leans to higher risks the shittier the game goes.

Surprised by how easily VP dealt with PL. Agreed to Arteezy, this looked like a good PL game and he didn't really have any impact in the fights.

Also somehow Ohaijyo had less impact with refresher than last game without it.

True, Fnatic had surprising difficulties to keep Abed alive in fights, which made the breaks really strong.

Fnatic are a good team, just no match for VP. Also EE needs to work on his drafting... you cant 2nd pick Tinker or 3rd pick Luna just like that against a T1 team.
