VGJ.T will soon earn their place along Yellow and soO as an all-time great Kong.

VG had a game against VP, where Ori destroyed Ramzes Brood with Puck, he hasn't skilled Phase shift, maxed Orb and Rift, kept feeding on Spiderlings and had like ~50 cs at 4-5 minutes, had Veil without boots as first item, and Ramzes could barely do anything.

That happened mostly because VP were unprepared for something like that, Puck without Phase shift is quite easy to pressure and gank, and if Brood knows what he is doing he won't let you feed that much on Spiderlings.

They've been switching Sylar & Freeze around suddenly, and I think there's some strategy/play issues in the team. Though I really want to run with the 'Nam flashbacks angle, haha.

What ppd is doing is exploiting weak laning in the draft by VGJ.T. Brood exploits it best, so he picks brood and Rotk is out of ideas. Too bad no one could play the Jakiro, as showed how well that worked.

33 with the "SamH really did a number to us with this build, I'll borrow it!" move.

Tiny almost never wins you games, but it prevents you from losing right away.

All 3 games kind off won because of 33 haha. I usually don't like anything on SK before blink(apart from some small items) but this Pipe pick up was pure win in this game, they just can't kill him at all unless they commit everything, and he just can keep running at them and initiate with impales. Also love the fact that he got Treads and with maxed Caustic farms really fast.

And I remember how casters flamed SamH build when he did so much work in that game.

Well done by Optic! Especially 33, he's by far their best player.

Nicely done Optic, really like the fact how this team evolved since they grouped up.

I wonder about RotKs drafts sometimes, they seem a bit discombobulated

But at the same time, PPD is a great drafter

SamH did work against Optic with the build in this type of game, especially when he needed to tank in front of a lot of damage.

Congrats to Optic.

Well, they had no initiation and didn't for until about 30 minutes, then it locked the game in. You could see why it worked against Tiny at the bottom lane fight where the whole combo did less than 40% dmg.

Yeah I didn't watch that game, it is nice to see top players adapt to the situations and do different builds that usually catch opponents off-guard.

Yup. Casters were down on the build, but SamH just continued to not die.

Oh Fnatic lost? Sounds like Universe didnt change much of their current performance, of course i agree we need to give them more time and definately they played with stand in Adam.

Keep changing rotation is not a good idea i guess. If we would want to compare head to head, take Mineski as counterpart for Fantic

Abed is better than Moonn
EE is better than Mushi (currently)
Universe is more well known than Ice3
DJ & PLD are as good as Jabz + nb

But the result doesnt match the statistic
