They were trying out(or perhaps practicing them before) a lot of different drafts that don't suit their style. First game against LGD they have picked Visage for Ramzes and Enigma for Pasha, that's the first time I've seen those players on those heroes to be honest. They were also very aggressive team and are known for crushing lanes, but they have been picking a lot of lane losing heroes lately and try to do something in mid game. I just don't know.

This game will be a problem for them, DW and WK is good lane, and Undying with Necrophos is disgusting lane.

2 invokers last 3 months for VP. Not standard exactly. Went well against Team Serenity but had totally different supporting cast. Up to clinkz to enable Invoker in team fights.

Hmm a bit more than 60s. :D

Interesting how no invis builds is so common on treant. I actually like it more than max invis.

Would probably do 1/2/1 into max living armor after that. One level invis is important due to abyssmal ms.

Well yeah, this is "win lanes" build, and great in 2v2 match ups, maxing invis is great for roaming/harassing solo offlaner.

If you have the stronger dual lane invis and leech seed allows you to get up to them, trade and get kills if they mess up at any point. Think they could have tried for a kill lane with 1/2 and then living armor max.

No invis is for when you have a weaker lane where you will never be able to trade since you would just die. Or Beastmaster or similar heroes that leave no trees up.

Since he really wants max living armor doing 1/1 into 1/1/4 is probably the best way.

I mean I would get 1 level in invis anyway whatever the lanes are, but they have been maxing Leech seed lately at least from what I've seen, it allows better trades and it allows hard diving. Heal is massive, its over 420 or something like that.

I pretty much always play 1/1 into 1/2 into 1/2/1 into 1/4/1/1 into 1/4/4/1. Sometimes stop at 2 levels of leech if lane is just hopeless and we can't fight for 5 mins.

Never really been a fan of the 4/2/0/1 builds. Those I don't really understand in most games.

Those pushes that forces 6 living armors to heal up do matter. Means it will be on cd in sudden ganks or that you can't heal if you expect a fight so it doesn't fully heal quickly. Much more noticeable if you don't go max living armor where level 1 of it just doesn't feel worth healing a tower with.

VP is not splitting, not 5-manning. What is their plan vs 5-man?

Mski their usual standard of playing before TI.

VP, on the other hand, playing defensive + noone on a playmaker mid instead of scaling carry mid?

Great terrorize there. Forcing them to walk through mineski. A bit sad living armor made him live just long enough for necrolyte to get to the fight.
