Ame was an am/morph/slark (and gyro) type carry for them traditionally while chalice was the initiator offlaner. You could see some difficulty because of it at the beginning of the tournament, it's really impressive how they've managed to adapt. Fy being a complete god all tournament helps of course.
As dota keeps evolving (or devolving, as I prefer older versions) that tends to happen.
We've come from trilanes, to dual lanes, to mid matchups, to dual-trilane mids, to offlanes being the #1 gold position, to sacrificial offlanes, and so on so forth.
Things that were lost and never found are junglers (we lost them long time ago and now with talon gone for years it's done and done) and traditional roles.
Before the gold shared between a team was way stricter, now there's just so much gold and everyone gets this and that and that and another item, etc.
Also I agree that Chalice and Ame both had their heropool hindered by patchs, but who knows, I just hope for less patches like before so teams can figure the best and so on so forth, a patch every 2 weeks kills the patch developtment process and strategy learning.

I guess they were afraid it'd get abused? but lose lane with silencer and you still have comeback potential. lose early game with Chen and be food all game fy just went 11/7/21 on a Phoenix. That was a series turning performance. OG's draft was fine, but fy outplayed his team into a good mid-game. You don't get those games often. pretty much every game fy got a play maker, he was fy god, shitty titan aside. It's been the Playmaker 4 tournament. The pos 4 with the best playmaking wins nearly all of the games. There's some Wisp combo wins, but Wisp + Gyro is still a hard one to win, with how nerfed Gyro is now. Chinese teams were 7-2 with Wisp+Gyro at TI, while everyone else was 3-8. China just plays it better because they play it as a true position 1 while teams like EG and Liquid were trying to use it as a space creator to jerk off an Alch

is there a reason not to pick enchantress first phase if they allow you?
that is probably the most broken hero this patch tbh
|
Fuck guys I'm sad this may be the last game of TI8.
|
Why o why no jerax earth spirit. ..

Why are OG letting them pick Enchantress again.
That hero just does too much on its own.

There was 1 Chinese team in the Upper Bracket. The entire top 8 is LGD + 7 non-Chinese teams.
This happens every year, but it's still amazing to watch.

Not believing in this Chen pick.

Why do they pick the fucking Chen? so useless every game they used it.

Good opener by PSG here, not liking Chen from OG.

Is it time to bust out the Broodmother?

This is retarded, picking Chen again despite him being such a garbage hero
