Poor OpTic, having to face VP yet again in a major tourney. Hopefully Peter's prayed to every god for Virtus Throw to show up and choke like they usually do at TI

Why is there not being used (or very little) invis heroes besides Clinkz at this TI?

Because the obs ward bounty changes. Now that they're worth a hefty (and scaling) chunk of xp and gold, supports don't feel as bad for buying eighty billion sentries and dumping them everywhere.

There have been a handful of rikis and plenty of shadowblades, though.

i see, just find it a bit strange that teams that are behind don't try it in best of 3.

You're delusional.

He is the guy that said in other thread how Valve releases patches pre-TI that favors western players which is the reason why they are better, how DP is nerfed and so is PL(!?), and only western teams play VS(LOL).

Weaver is at the perma ban stage more or less. Mirana has seen a lot of play and bans as well. Nyx has also seen some small amount of play, same with treant.

The only invis hero not seeing play in bounty hunter?

The gold talents are also probably part of it. Easier to afford sentries when you get one for free from talents without having 0 items.
