It was just an alchemist outdraft. PPD picked abaddon to make his lineup a tanky deathball and abaddon is good against willow's CCs. Liquid saw weakness in lack of damage and picked alch.

unusual NP pick, what's the plan here?

oh lord there's a brood, time to hope kunkka is still good

NP could be 4/5 pos . It gives PPD wiggle room on draft with the unpredictability if one slot ( since NP can be all position except mid)

Not much of a fan of this kind of player. Reminds me too much of a good majority of StarCraft pros who basically seem like similar to each other even if you watched alot of their interviews and stuff

I'm glad that most dota pros are clearly outspoken or are an open book even the Chinese pros

It's a team game, chances are faceless dudes have a tougher time making it to the top.

Need to be sociable and outspoken to get into the top teams I suppose

Might also be a factor that social media is prevalent at the time dota2 became a thing and that dota2 scene has no restriction that sc pros have where they have to be all polite and shit. They can't even publicly flame while dota pros get a lot of leeway when they offend somebody

I mean that's the case for over a year right now lol. Brood got "nerfed" multiple times, but it kind of ended as buff with lowering Spiders bounty from like 31 gold to 9, and Spiderites from 20 to 3. It just killed any kind of "counters" because even if she gets countered she can go to jungle while counter hero didn't get nearly as much gold from Spiderlings, and Brood still just outfarms you.

They're trying to mimic post-game weatherman purge with this pre-game nahaz stats and it's just not working.

Sick talent too, brood used to disappear once even in gold during lategame. I'm not a big fan of the smoothing of power curves btw and brood clearly benefitted a lot from it as her lategame was put at a decent level while she still retains a decent part of her early and mid game power.

Optic wins if they survive the brood early game. They have tons of wave push to avoid fights and drag the game til they have better late game.
