Interesting play by Liquid, it's not like VG's gameplan isn't completely obvious, better engage 200 gold away from BKB when they have all their ults up

The bans focused around all of the pushers has made mass-lockdown the sudden meta. Interesting.

if nothing else this is a lesson learned for Matumba. He thought the game was over when they didn't even have t3 yet vs a WL naga defense

Brood gets hard countered by naga net. Add the fact that old eleven got a 10 minute blink made brood useless even with all the farm. Big difference of skill between him and Fata.

I dont even get it, what did he need evasion against? The only way he was going to die was magic dmg and DP ult which butterfly does shit against

They just really threw that game 5 manning into the only thing VG had, wombo combo. If they just farmed the Tiny Viper and some high ground items on Kuro this game was in the bag.
I think esports is pretty nice.

matu can go orchid-bkb which is very conservative but will win the game steadily
he also can choose deso or cuirass to apply early pressure to vg's structures


but no lets buy butterfly against their exo, barrage, call down, and golem

Butterfly was not the best decision, but going high ground without BKB was a disaster.

Butterfly wasn't the big deal honestly. Great dps, mobility active, some armor to deal with exorcism. The mistake was forcing fights before they got bkb instead of choking VG out.

both was bad but the combo made it even worse.

Bfly does nothing to help you highground. It's like the team wasn't on the same page. Matumba did the bfly and kuro then said "okay, we need highground now" and Matumba is like "wait, what? I have nothing to stand highground"

they could have probably gotten away with both the bfly and the highground, just not both at the same time.
Build your bfly if you want but never teamfight unless you have BKB, don't go highground and just farm up.
Or build something that actually helps you vs the wombocomba and the magic damage so that you don't die when you go highground.
It's just sad because this wasn't even an amazing game from Vici or anything. Liquid did everything they could to make it as easy as possible for Vici. You press nagasleep and it's game over for Liquid every fight because you're going to het WL ultied, slowed and kited without bkb's

I think even with BKB he still gets netted by naga every fight and cries

he needed a manta on top of it probably

with BKB he gets netted but won't take any dmg though. Like 80-90% of Vici's damage at that point in time was magic based. The only physical dmg was DP ult. And maaaaaybe a tiny amount of gyro but at that point in time he's still overwhelmingly magic dmg in fights.

So sure, he gets netted while BKB, but survives on probably at least 60% HP, turns on ulti and still kills everyone.

Manta BKB would be faster and better and Deso BKB would be way faster and also better.
