Let's just say that this is another draft that was over in first phase.

Medusa will make VGJ.S loss more interesting.

I'm liking Secret's draft more, but we'll see how hard Reso can carry his team at a TI again.

Bad draft by VGJ. Mirana hasn't gotten much play in the main event, for a reason. KOTL and Undying also not rly impactful heroes. It even seems KOTL got too much farm (Aghanims), compared to WK. Supports should help carries get farm, not get it themselves instead.

Im also curious about Clinkz winrate this event. Seems unstoppable.

Not a super helpful list since it includes qualifiers.

-edit- Nvm... Missed the possibility of limiting it to the last month or week.

Invoker and Drow doing well with 70% with 20+ games played.

Stepped out to pick up some beer and groceries. Missed the Meepo stomp. Oh well.

Curious about 2 things:
Position 3 Venge?
I've been pondering the value of mid Medusa this meta. Reso did okay with him in lane but I want to see more games. I feel it might be a sleeper pick.

Mirana is 1-7 mainstage while Ench is 1-4 unless the TL stats page is missing games
e: Clinkz is 6-3

lol running at a clinkz and not trying to kill him

clinkz is actually a pretty ridiculous hero... just 100-0s supports in 3 seconds in any skirmishes for the entire 10-20 minute period

and this is the thing: what is their solution to swap in the lategame? There is almost no save in the game that can counteract a lvl3 swap initiation in time, and they even have GS to make it extra hard

Put dusa in range of venge and wait.

EDIT: This series makes the difference in class painfully obvious.

Assume you ate talking about tiny? It is the standard since it both mobility and extra damage. Tiny needs to keep stacking up dmg to kill people, if he doesn't they live.

Commentators worried for VGJ.S When they have equal or better lategame. Though if they play worse it won't help.

I am indeed talking about tiny. He got lothars and did literally jack with it. Heck, they would probably get quite a few kills if he went for blink instead.

at this level you gotta learn after 1 death that you cant show dusa mid like that

the most recent multicast buff makes the chance of 2x 60% at just level 1 of mutlicast

so having 3 levels of fireblast at level 6 means you have a 60% chance of doing 360 magic, expected value = 288 magic dmg
