I feel like Secret could've just forced the fight there with the reincarnation and won the game.

No blink es was such a great timing.

The Chen Army really brings a lot of utility throughout the game and HoG is a lot of sustain in the early game before items that would work about as well would be available.

Also, the multi-catapult trick has been a thing. It's a lot of early push.

Converting catapults is pretty dope.

You mean Batrider fed into a Chen army twice.


That was just a plus. This game he actually rotated all lanes and helped secure kills and towers, unlike last game. The plan they had in G1 is the same as this one, except this game it worked as expected.

You can't rotate unless the lane is stable. Batrider+ES is not a fun solo lane for WK unless the Bat is horrendously underleveled.

I guess you have a point because ppy rotated mid as soon as he killed Bat.

I'm pretty amazed that fight wasn't a total rout even though ES held onto the Echo Slam.

Edit: Then, when they use it, TB dies 0.1 seconds before it lands so there's no follow-up...sad day

Sick ass Echo but they live. Also TB walked into his death I think.

that was a little dicey, if TB gets sunder there Secret is completely repelled at best, wiped at worst

OK, I am rooting for Secret, but VG are freaking good. Not only that echo by LaNm, but also that sunder + laguna combo deleting WK...

Okay VG is playing even worse this game so it should be a quick stomp for Secret.

Yep.

Looking at the replay it looks like he casually walked back into the teamfight expecting to Sunder, but he couldn't get it off.

That fight does make me think there's a teeny tiny chance for VG at least if they can keep TB alive during an Echo. Not sure they can though

I think he was counting on either the Sunder itself or the ES stun to give him the microsecond he would need to Sunder.

I don't think 1% chance is accurate, more like 10% at this point
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie
