I think you overestimate how a 4k would do in pro games on a core. The pressure applied is so high that they would just chainfeed or end up in jungle just to not feed. | ||

Ogre is just straight garbage after early game. Ace payed well considering the circumstances, his item usage was on point and besides, it wasnt his job to carry that game, it was on MidOne and Fata, bioth which failed to itemize properly for that game. Necro can be carry, supp, nuker or even tanker, and it based on what the team wants and wish to. But in the games, ace juz cant kill, cant defend, cant nuke, cant tank, cant push but keep dying. | ||

I remember Ace playing solo Weaver and solo Spectre against a 3 lane, he does that all the time. However, his positioning and item build in this game as Necro was questionable at the best. Getting Eul first into Force Staff would make him far more durable, Blade Mail did absolutely nothing. He was too afraid to use Reaper a lot of times. When he gets hit by Calldown, all he could do is Ghost Shroud, Blade Mail and hope for the best while bunch of Zombies stack on him, he didn't have any escape tool, and Force Staff would have changed that. | ||

EG vs OG with ogs shit laning throughout the tourney idk how og doesnt get stomped their only advantage might be in draft on how well they know fly and if they are successful in mindgaming him but... meh GOOG | ||
