Risky start for VP with 0 reliable stuns.

I mean, Ench and Oracle counter all of Optic's heroes lol.


Ench and DK was picked after I wrote that. DK handles a large part of their stun problem.

Not sure Huskar is right against oracle. Can't lifesteal at all.

Storm could be good here. Sniping off the oracle or IO.

Yes if there is only one of them in the fight, but they protect each other nicely, and Storm is bad against DK's instant stun. Storm wouldn't be able to solo kill anyone there.

One of the normal strats is doing IO+gyro farming and three man other side of map looking for relocate opportunity. In team fight it isn't as strong but should still work out.

DK also isn't instant stun in team fights since you normally are in dragon form.

I always considered Kuro more as an expert in developing talent than discovering it. Back from the Mouz days with Fata and Black^ (who said in an interview that he learned more about Dota from Kuro in a month than his whole playing career until then), over the first iteration of Liquid with Jerax, Matu and MC (probably one of the greatest development jumps we have ever seen in a player in Dota) to the TI winning squad with Gh and Miracle (an already established superstar, who became a far more complete player under Kuroky).

He just knows exactly what his players need to do to improve, which is one of the reasons he is so respected.While others may be even better scouts he is one if not the best player coaches in the scene.
Most he played with had a very poor grasp of the fundamentals of the game, and that remained so for most of them. It wasn't until he worked with Puppy he evolved, which he transitioned onto 5jungz. He has vast experience, and deserves credit for solving issues, and getting the best of of situations, but the past is not where you find this, likely more on reflection of all the mistakes made.

picking a huskar into an oracle is very strange, considering inner vitality is purgeable and the disarm is super strong.

Only other option would be enchantress and you have nobody that can take bane + clinkz either.

Agreed, puppey was the mind behind kuro's development, he was the 1 position carry star that needed guidance back then, and now he has followed the same steps of his tutor.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

Necrophos doesn't really seem like a counter to the io gyro at all when you see it in game. Strange so many teams go for it.

Its the other way around actually, so yeah I don't know. Necro can't handle Gyro's magic damage at all.

Is Huskar going to stay alive when at some point DK gets a blink to stun him and Ench just hits him from far?

I think Optic needs to be far ahead to have a chance in fights in 10-15mins

When IO is false promised, can he heal even though his hp is locked?
