EG can totally win this one. Bleed Blue! For the bois!
|

|
why is rtz in a jacket? isn't the tournament held in SEA? isn't he Canadian? i'm so confused i'm mad
|
Brought my 3 years old to the venue, horrible call. His attention span only lasted for 15 minutes and now we're about to go to the playground.

Force Staff would be better than Dominator, but that doesn't matter at this point in the game.

Like night and day with the Navi vs Fnatic match.

I don't know why they doomed themselves to a weak safelane and slow tempo with the Void. Pick a Centaur or something and put Crystaliize on the Weaver.

Crystallize is like the sole threat on Navi in almost all their games. Void was the only thing stopping EG from 5-manning for another 20 minute game.
They basically need a hero that can kill over-farmed enemy cores every single game.

I thought it was quite silly of them to ban out Morphling for that reason alone. If they did their research, Na'Vi would know EG always pick Luna or Lifestealer for Arteezy in these drafts.

Was really a terrible draft all around from Navi. Void was basically the only thing that did work in that game.

Let's see if EG pick Pugna for Sumail to round out this draft.
|
I'm moderately terrified that this is going to be a Sumail DW.
|
|
|
lol haha WTF top play was that
|
|
|
Guess Arteezy felt bad about that failed gank.

EG is so nice, giving this pub stack some experience against pros.

"they made that fight really hard"
Errr...Hmmm... sure.
|
that series went exactly as expected
|
why is it taking so long for the next game?
|
Just woke up, saw iNf vs. VGJ.T, figured ehhhh, guess I'll watch. So far, very entertaining game.
|
Jakiro's dropping non-stop dust and sentries and somehow still has more gold than Nyx.
|
Who picks Medusa against a team they're supposed to be totally superior of ?
|
|
|
Group A was group of death.
|
geez the number of rapier after VGJ vs TNC is insane VGJ is kings of rapiers, medusa have started working on 2nd rapier already
|
jump with 2 on medusa WTF. Then feed all the rest, cause mega creeps matter that much.
|
|
|
Get multiple shards on naga siren and assasinate the throne :D

This game might last another hour..

Well, TA has no mkb, just bloodthorn, and Medusa can purge that with bkb so the evasion might be quite useful.
|
Mega creeps = best scenario for aghs underlord
Bet VG could hold the game forever with that
|
rofl, I'm glad, fuck medusa
|
Wow first time see SA doto playing so smart
|
One of the best games I have seen. So good. Both teams gave everything

this tournament have lots of stupid play and unbelievable mistakes
but hot damn entertaining!
|
|
|
Infamous really sticking it to VG.J.
And then they all died.
|
Well, it was a good effort.
|
another 2nd place for VGJT
|
Too bad, iNf played decently but this bfury troll just not working out at all.
|
stinger should play WK offlane, he seems to have a problem with pressing buttons
|
EG should have this in the bag
|
|
|
finally first championship for EG

It can really go either ways even though EG is indeed in a lot better shape than before.

EG looking rather relaxed

Arteezy and Sumail hair game is weak af.

When was the last time Rtz showed he understands the hair-meta? Agree on Sumail though..

VGJ.T looking for the "We're winning this after 50 minutes!" draft.
|
Sheever has an Aghanim Sceptre necklace, cool
|
Misery early game is on point..
|
starting to get scary for EG, need to get radiance and really pick up the pace
|
|
|
|
|
OK that over commitment LOL
|
Why is everyone suddenly going radiance on ls?
|
20 minutes wtf
Willow ban incoming?
|

Let's LS farm easily to about 45 minutes. And, with an early Aegis, look how RTZ was zoning out VGJ.T in their own base. At 18-25 minutes, Radiance does solid AoE damage, cancels blinks and makes them miss a lot.
|
|
|
Feels ironic watching rotk draft get destroyed by memepush strat.
|
Would have been cool to see Infamous vs EG, action party.

With Radiance LS can farm very fast, doesn't fall off later if he didn't have good early/mid game, you are even more tanky because with Radiance you usually go for Solar Crest and with level 20 talent that gives you 20% evasion, you have like ~45% evasion from Radi, Crest and talent. You are also not as one dimensional as Armlet + Desolator Naix that just hits one target and is very easy to kite, because of the Radiance that is constant damage and you also have like 460 permanent movement speed with level 15 talent that gives you +35 ms(pros take +30 damage on that level when they go for armlet + deso) and S&Y. If you go for Phaseboots instead of Treads, you are easily ~540 with Phase used.
Try it, it's incredibly good.
|
they can't even pick sven now vs beast +blind
|
|
|
sniper? :D Oh underlord Seems like a forced pick, not one they wanted really
AAAAND it's a straight up cheesepush strat heh Underlord is their only hope
|
VGJ.T's victory condition is really tight in game.
|
this pick is so not VGJT, I not sure they can pull out a short timing line up like this VGJT is going 0-5 in Grand Finals

the only problem with the build is in mid range pubs people flame you and tilt when you do it. It does feel fantastic though. Hopefully this tourney with rtz doing it over and over changes that.

Well that's the problem with pubs, pretty much everybody knows about it above 4k, and they don't say a word, but around 3k people are still going SB as first item on SF and generally make really bad items on most of the heroes, do some 2 years old builds and are more often than not completely out of the loop.
Also even if RTZ changes that and people start going Radi on Naix, they will be making it for completely wrong reasons and will still manage to just go for it at bad moment which will just result into autolose.

I read it as you intended (0-5), but my question was about this draft. I still don't see how they expect to outcarry a PL with this lineup.

The build seems very compeling and i really wanna try it, but at 3,5k I'm just gonna receive 4 reports for doing it, even if I do well with it.

They got caught with their pants off, Realized way too late what's going on, forgot about visage so they had to scramble to even stay in the game, hence the underlord pick
If they went an actual carry like sven or sniper they'd get rolled even harder

EG are a strong team and would have made TI anyway. They looked good, but the opposition was lackluster. This is probly the weakest tourney giving points 2018.

I was going to point out the early season LANs that were pretty bad, but those were technically 2017.

150 points per player. Only top 3 per team count. Thus 150 x 3 = 450.
This is why Lil, who came over with 900 points, shot Na'Vi into the top 8.

Volvo can organize TI at a football stadium and SEA crowd wil certainly fill it up. SEA are the most passionate doto fans in the world.

sea is always a great fanbase

Well, I didn't get to see them live because of exams, but IMO even though it is a Minor, the crowd is more lit than the Majors, the 2nd best Minor besides CD 4.0, also because this is what a Minor should be, smaller teams competing for points rather than teams like Liquid stomping the competition.

Na'Vi vs Fnatic game 1 from 45min to the end. Na'Vi vs Fnatic game 3. InFamous vs VGJ.T Game 1. Final Tribe vs InFamous Game 3, from 30 min on. InFamous vs Navi (group stage). EG vs VGJ.T Game 1.
That Na'Vi vs Fnatic series might just be worth watching in general. It wasn't great dota, but it was insane dota.
