Yeah but as a Brazilian no doubt you are a football fan, can you imagine putting a silver star alongside those beautiful 4 gold stars on the national shirt

I agree that's weird and kinda out of touch, but its not a major thing, Newbee players may not even know about it

5 stars btw

This is actually looking pretty ok for Na'Vi. They're a bit behind all positions, but it's just a couple hundred each. And they have track, if they get two good fights, they could run away with the game.

Well Omni Wisp Rubick just won hard vs the Tiny AA lane, NS roamed and achieved 1 kill? Rtc 1v1 lane vs a Brew who also left the lane after minute 7? Rtc had 15 min Radiance and Fear equalled mid vs the PL. EG just then got Aegis and walked them down pretty much was very weird form Infamous lol.

Well the Medusa idea is just to get him MOM so they can siege a tower probably and some levels. Puck and Tiny are the jump in and control this game? Just i hate Chen into Gyro its a pet hate.

If things go badly and its goes late, EG still will have a solid draft, but Chen brings push, heal & a zoo. EG aren't on a "timer", but they probably expect to win around 30 minutes in.

In the Navi vs Newbee side of things, Newbee has a draft advantage to the point I'm not sure how Navi kills anyone after 30 minutes. Unless Weaver gets completely out of control.

Just survive early game and you win late game vs inf. They will throw at some point with shit itemization or positioning just like yesterday vs secret. Peru teams have no hope in dota, Brazilian teams are the ones that have potential in SA.

the mini stun is essentially a right click right ? before i thought people only pick that item up with combination of satanic

how much is the interval between the mini attacks?

I'm not quite sure specifically why, but since this isn't the first time recently, there's clearly some value to it. Blink cancels?

1.1s interval. Feels like a trash item when you can invest that 4k gold into more dps for your 9 flak cannon shots.

gyro attack animation is almost instantaneous and he has 1st skill that cancels better

it's also only effective on 1v1's ?

i know it is pretty good with satanic but that's a late game scenario where gyro has the damage for it

otherwise it seems a waste at the start

edit: actually if i think about it gyro kinda beats anybody 1v1 with the aghs pickup on this game

I usually think about rapier or refresher for double satanic bkb flaks if I reach late game as gyro.

Yea Moogy goes for maelstrom which is the only viable synergy for aghs. But it seems so counter intuitive when you can just invest in raw dps in your 100% splash damage skill.

I'd assume someone has done a lot of number crunching and it's some combination of improved farming efficiency, team fight damage and other benefits.

The loser bracket is so hard now, only one team out of Newbee/EG going to make it through, plus could be even harder when probably LGD drop down to the mix.

Per LP, he's never been with Na'Vi before. Was with VP for most of 4 years. (In different VP forms.)

Dendi was doing the drafting this LAN, but there wasn't a lot anyone could do with that second draft. The BH meta seems dead already, and Newbee made 3 really tanky last picks. Na'Vi wasn't going to find enough damage after their first 3 picks.

I remember a time where navi had been hiring and firing captains left and right.


(Wiki)Lil

Per LP, he's never been with Na'Vi before. Was with VP for most of 4 years. (In different VP forms.)

Dendi was doing the drafting this LAN, but there wasn't a lot anyone could do with that second draft. The BH meta seems dead already, and Newbee made 3 really tanky last picks. Na'Vi wasn't going to find enough damage after their first 3 picks.

Probably mixed him up with vanskor lol


Pretty much everyone in CIS seems like they'd been on Na'Vi, so that's an easy mistake to make.

TB reflection will have ET aura, luna glaives, bm aura. Maybe still deserve to lose this with this shit build.

Meanwhile Mski is getting run over by lycan, literally no damage against underlord aura and crimson

they got run over by lycan because of their stupid decisions. these calls by jabz are straight up weird. it's not items fault that they just run a feed train over and over until OG gets back in the game.

it feels like mineski just has one strat up their sleeves and they just pick that over and over. i think every other games, they got destroyed by their opponents. either they are one trick pony or they just honed 1 or 2 strats only. same supports every 2nd game.

I dont understand BH meta.

Shuriken is a good nuke but Jinada and Shadow walk are straight useless in most fight.
This hero doesnt deal a lot of damage, no escape, no heal no stun no silence ....
When you compare him to other pos 4 hero, i dont get why BH is picked.

At what point do you take +5 skeletons and skeleton damage, honestly? 15 str and no mana needed for ulti are about 1 gazillion times better talents no matter whether you are a hard carry or hard support.

Odds are it was winning scrims in the lead up because no one had played against him in a while. A lot of shadowblades are winning in the recent patches, so just an invis + teamfighting hero has strength. Everyone, however, is just adjusting around it. Mostly in shutting down the power of his early game roaming.

if you're really desperate for building damage and you trust the skellingtons to not run off to farm jungle when you're trying to push, which is like less than 1 in 10,000 of games

mineski is making the current game close, only 1 OG hero has buyback rn and reso just died without it

e: notail just died too, mineski has 2 minutes with DK+DP ult to go end game/take megas

e2: game 3 incoming, mineski takes it

then OG tried to go end the game top and lost reso+notail because reso was diving and lost

That was SO BAD by Mineski. They could've had a full 5 man shaker combo into blackhole, but they hesitated and instead killed nobody and fed on two heroes. Hurt to watch.

Kinguin has beat good teams in past LANs too, but then they can struggle online against mediocre EU teams. I haven't followed them that closely but I'd assume they are good with pretty specific playstyles and when they have to play differently they struggle.

Fnatic's 1st pick Razor seems pretty good against them because they like the Omni/Abaddon/Tide type offlaners quite often

Kinguin lineup is really hard to fight into when they get to this point and they just run around as 5. Not sure Fnatic could have done anything after Kinguin managed to sneak the rosh

Also this has been a really underwhelming Naix pick. I don't think the hero can do anything in these fights, and he even had a bad lane

The "suddenly" was LD radiance and DK getting aegis. Gold numbers alone can be pretty deceptive. Fnatic has a really hard time fighting Kinguin

Storm did quite a lot of work with KotL giving him mana early on but he can't kill people when Kinguin gets to their group up phase and Storm doesn't have BKB yet (and he wasn't even going for it next). Also the Naix never became any sort of a threat to anyone. Not sure if Fnatic could have done anything differently in the lanes to help him early on, probably not because Brew and Storm both needed help.

This sort of 5 man lineup is sort of exactly what springs to mind when I think of Kinguin at least. Before they've done it also with some Tide, Ogre+Dusa etc

You have to slightly sack Brew in that scenario. LS already does poorly against DK and Abaddon, and he's all but useless versus them when behind in farm.

We'll see how the rest of the draft goes but I like that Fnatic took Warlock so they are guaranteed an easier 5v5 teamfight in his game

And they left Abed alone against Tiny, that is 45/19 against OD's 28/5 in CS. You can't leave any hero alone against Tiny.

Their push isn't that fast and Kinguin has good heroes to draw the creeps away. It's not that easy for Fnatic to just run at towers.

Abed possibly saving the game with that rosh steal. That pickoff on EE top and then later getting Universe too was almost game winning for Kinguin

Tiny with VS and Beast on his team is definitely more scary than just regular Tiny without good synergy heroes. Especially when he is top networth.

Yea I really don't think it was needed either. He wanted to end the game with that aegis but because the t2s were up on the sidelanes they were forced to go for the throne straight away instead of just taking megas and against Tiny toss and VS swap it can be pretty scary

fnatic won the series but that was disappointing from their game 3 .. though they had a teamfight cooldown draft they need to be as consistent as they were during the 1st and early 2nd game if they wanted to contend against the better teams like secret

lol no, the diving by DJ and Universe might have been excessive but the rapier was classy and game winning

the throwy moves by EE were his deaths on top lane and taking suboptimal decisions on teamfights

also, early game by fnatic in this g3 was very very bad which won't go well against secret

Yeah rofl, people don't realize how good TB is in the late game. Optic has nothing to stop him, and they have 3 strong auras that TB uses against them with Reflection.

Even though I agree, I don't think that would've changed anything really. That moment when they killed TB top, they were doing it for more than 10 seconds, and that is 4 heroes against one, with ulties being used and whatnot. They just didn't have the burst apart from SF's ult, not the lockdown needed to kill him, add constant blinding light to that, Venge swap and you can't do much.

you know how misleading scrims can be

i've heard wayy too many stories where one team is losing to another team in scrims alot then the scrim-losing team proceed to win against a series on their scrim nemesis anyways

( eg. EG-DK around summit1 and TI4 where eg ended up smashing dk )

I don't think it's fair to criticise them for trying to rax when they kill most of Liquids depush. Who cares about the second life when you can't break high-ground. TL would be happy to spam out the waves and wait for the aegis to fade.

it's the meta build

i mean the initial early euls build is actually good because of the regen the movespeed and the potential to solo kills(euls ult) .. not to mention triple raze case you can just euls people then sit next to them

but the fucking follow ups like daggers and stuff makes the hero too reliant on requim and razes which just get negated with bkb in big fights

hence every player i've who went that build just lost the game cause the enemy cores get bkb's and they suddenly have no damage

Yeah but EE doesn't even know how to create proper chaos, and when he accidentally does it, his team is more confused than the enemy.

Of course Fnatic has a chance to win Secret, it based on how much Puppey wanna try out his new hero/combo, eg picking WK or SB, which are not a so-called formal pick for the team.
