wow you are right

hfn does play a freaky slark


Okay, per DotaBuff, he hasn't played it much in the last 2 years, but I know I've seen him roll a team with it.

SA improved a lot huh

Still got a lot to go, but it was clearly not useless to give SA a spot in the DPC

i mean it's still really just PaiN, but they're def doing well. if they get the invite it'll be bad though, I don't think there's a good second team from SA that I would want to see from the qualifiers.

Slots means a lot of guys really went "pro" in approach. Scene has a ways to go, but w33ha is helping as well. Experience matters.

if i'm mineski i wouldn't give slark next game unless they're confident that they figured how hfn went online and can prevent it

I assume this is one those pubstar effects like we know pubstars can translate their best 1v9 hero into proscene(rtz, miracle, suma1l, w33ha etc etc)

HFN is just really confident with slark that his movements, farming pattern and killer instinct live up to it even in a pro-game against a legit team with proper mindset and support

Just pick am against slark. Mski is 1 of the few teams that still play AM too.

Not a good look game one; I have faith that Mineski can outplay paiN if they don't lose at the draft screen.

Different way of counters. PL is better against slark more in the combat aspect.

AM rekt slark in the macro aspect of the game. Slark is good against lineups that like to split up more which is Mski's playstyle. However, playing AM against slark will allow Mski to play their exact same playstyle which they are comfortable in.

That makes more sense. AM played properly puts the slark lineup in a bad position eventually and has a solo kill potential even on slark. Pushing the issue on slark to make an action as they have to play reactively more than the AM lineup

Then we have PL can do better than alot of other carries against slark due to the short cooldown disengage

71 believe in iceiceice micro skills so much that he is trying to force him to emulate 33's lycan lol.

Alright I'm wrong, it's a carry lycan which I don't think Mushi is good at
