Oh dear, that wasn't good. EG keep losing to those teamfight-heavy heroes recently.

I mean if someone first picks Gyro and there is another ban phase and you value banning WD over Chen then your a bit silly no? That was an issue but the Naga was countered enough i thought with SK/Doom but overvaluing kotl is annoying and part of the issue. They want these siege pushing strats where they can sit and siege a rax for 20 minutes whilst kotl healing the world but in what reality is that going to work.

Should have removed kotl and razor that game and swapped to an offlane doom and put cr1t on the SK.

That was a really cleanly-executed game plan from Kinguin. It's been a while since I watched dota, so that was the first game of theirs I saw. Looks like a team with potential.
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer

Honestly I think Newbee played really poorly; I can't imagine any universe where Team Kinguin is legit better than Newbee

DJ basically afk farming and pushing with Rhasta earlier really paid off

Na'Vi not coordinated enough through the midgame imo

Like I said, first game of theirs I saw, so I have no idea, and it's not what I meant. It's more that from the laning phase to the 'keep pressure on all lanes while dodging team fights' phase to the 'bkb, rosh and end game phase' they read Newbee super well, never once veered from their game plan and never once gave Newbee a teamfight. Just look at how miserable that panda was the entire game. A lot of teams are capable of good games but generally fewer, I think, can execute a draft with that much discipline and cohesion.

Navi as expected. They looked good skill wise, but they were very poor in the overall game plan.

Fnatic didn't lock particularly good either though. Wouldn't bet on them against the big dogs.

Fnatic hasn't yet shown to be a major threat for the top placings. I don't think they've become worse with Uni or anything, it's just that there is quite a gap from where they were to beating TL or Secret in a bo3. In the NaVi game they had a few blunders but importantly they were constantly keeping the lanes out and never got caught out in a terrible position where NaVi could take rosh or threaten buildings.

With Kinguin beating Newbee, one of Fnatic and Kinguin is guaranteed to make it to the playoffs and get top6. Still need to beat one of the top teams to get to the points though

That is the point though, i can't really give them credit for constantly pushing the waves if they play with Viper, Rhasta and most importantly Tinker, how is that an accomplishment?

Tinker is just a broken hero that is in the same league as brood. If you pick it late in draft against no counters, you will win if you execute it properly.

That's true, and on the bright side, Abed managed to get caught out a lot less than he has on previous Tinker performances in the SEA qualifiers for various tourneys
