Fuck i just realized the 22-50 kill score.

This is a pub, not a TI top8 match.

That's the closest we've been to the usual VP, they thrive on chaos.

I see it more like Dota has achieved a meta where kills are profitable when you want to win. Instead of risky as in League (historically at least) where you have 10 kills in an entire game.

If Alch buys an aghs for drow they easily hold megas, don't see them win next fight though.

Why not squeeze out a few minutes by holding megas until the inevitable loss.

LoL They did so many things right (skillshot spam is so satisfying) but the meta has not changed since the beta, they really fucked up somewhere.

I personally think the dash, skill shot spam etc is what is getting them stuck. Is like Battlerite light with some ARTS elements tacked on.

They played it safe but they they don't know how to play safe, it's hindering them at TI. They should embrace their hothead qualities which win them games throughout the year.
