It is honestly not just the draft here, LGD thrives on team fight execution and they are really lacking in that department right now, a far cry from their last series vs. Liquid.

But they're lacking precisely because they can't see a clear plan for how to execute the teamfights, nor have they the means to get a lead in other ways that compensate for it.


Fy basically wasting Winter´s curse not once but twice had a huge impact on how the most important team fight and thus the game turned out to go.

Yeah, that's the only "true" misplay that really changes things I can see in the game. But when OG was leading and LGD found pickoffs all around the map, made 10 minutes of space for Ame and won fights they shouldn't with amazing curses, surely that's not how their draft is really supposed to play out? I mean that first kill on Enchantress was impossible in a controlled situation by OG, for example.

Same, even had it when I was part of putting them as 18 on the power rank lol

Oh come on, the only remaining player of the original line up is notail...

It's the first showing of this iteration of the team, they deserve to win some fans.

We never did get flairs for Optic, VGJ, Pain and a couple others. Why was that?

Also never got avatars for Pango or Dark Willow.

Wow, salty much?

Both teams played really well, but OG managed to get the win, and you say that, ok mate.

I liked the game, it was entertaining. But skillwise OG cores aren't even fucking top 8 world, yet they are game away from grand final.

This meta isn't cancer, but it's definetely the shittest in the TIs history.
I think their strategy is to dumpster bad Western teams (c) uriel

I date back to the first iteration of Monkey Business, later SK-gaming, DD.dota etc all the way to Monkey Business 2.0, and still here.

Hard to blame him though when he carried the shit out of them up to that point. This game was much more on Maybe having a shocker and chalice just not being good at weaver.
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer

Breaking news : dota is a team game with a low skill cap.

Just started watching again since last TI. What's bad about this meta? Or Uniquely bad anyway. Feels like eveyrones getting rich so there's less variance in strategy but the fights are fun.
