I don't want to shoulder the blame on any one player, but man I did not feel Ace that game.

Secret did pretty well, considering how small their window of error was, but Vici kept their cool.

Yeah both teams didn't rely on the shit tricore meta. Win lanes, push waves in, choke map, get roshan and end every fucking single game.

Haven't been feeling Ace all tournament. They're putting him on "false pos1" heroes that are supposed to do shit (and do like shit) instead of what made him famous which was heroes like LD, Meepo, PL etc

It was doomed from the draft imo, that + all 3 cores built utility items and no one had damage.

Dota 2 drafting 101:

How do you win lanes?

How do you take objectives?

How do you win team fights?

How do you break high ground?





secret had none of these btw

All heroes have the same power curve now, we're LoL.

yapzor and midone showed up big time as well as paparazi in an awkward to play TB game. ember is just midones hero - no doubt. but all in all u can see that neither secret nor VG work at the same level like liquid. imo - at least in that game - ace for liquid and eleven for VG really didn't perform. in the end eleven probably had it easier because their was always the global silence follow up after his initiations but yeah, thats about it.

what does that have to do with anything? pieliedie just said that "maybe secret's draft should have won but in like a 70 minute game" so the criteria for what draft is superior shouldn't have to do with how close the game is

Yeah he has been sacrificed at large at least in those games I have watched. Even when he was Necro.

I feel like they should be questioning the draft so much more. But whatever.
