I just realised I am no longer a die hard fan. Going up at 3 in the morning for an Alliance game used to be common sense, now I just want the sleep. Guess I'll catch the vod after work.

Maybe Dota 2 is dead, after OG won the TI8, they "killed" the fans, lol

it is called growing up
it is not ice3 mistake to continously perform terrible BH. fnatic should have banned rubick before picking enigma.
|
the team with Meepo deserves to win this match more
|
casters should stop hyping BH steal since it is the easiest biggest skill to steal.

they probably should have, but then again a bh on a single ogre before that rosh fight was very questionable

wow fnatic r so bad
they were playing so scared
didn't focus on rosh
the only thing i can think of for all the derp ice plays were that he was banking on people jumping in to get him
still not worth it
game losing bhs from enigma and game winning bhs from rubick
|
think jstorm win the series now
fnatic will play even more timid with elimination pressure and give jstorm unnecessary advantages

I feel like we will go 60 min+ now :S

Fnatic can actually win now, as long as Arc Warden is always up

I said I have reverse polarity as a basic spell, sir!

just give ice pango
edit: feel like its a really good pick too based off of jstorms hero selections the first 2 games
|
What a game DJ and Abed just saved Fnatic, and 3xIce is playing 3xawful.

That toss from Bryle is possibly the worst play I have ever seen. Just before Moo gets his radiance too. Literally threw the game

Whatever you want to say about those two teams, it certainly is entertaining x)

EG or even Forward should have a easy way to Top 6 after watching that series lol

Noob team says MP

Ah, the first Playoffs game, I predicted wrong 
|
TAIWAN NUMBAH WAN5956 Posts
hmmmm EG look a cut above Forward
|
Good draft by EG, Sunsfan most be happy to see Centaur making case for strongest hero.
Think Forward still has a chance, EG did stomp NiP in first game yesterday only to loss.

"EG loses 4 against nothing" into "EG walk in Roshpit and get Aegis"
Nice

Now that is more like it from Forward. Hoping for a really good game 3

Yup hit at 30 years old or maybe a bit later.

Lovely no stun draft by EG, worked great.

LMAO EG DOES ZERO DAMAGE TO RESOLUTION

EG is pretty good at getting 0 bounty runes
|
yawar is the king to the throne
|
|
|
Arteezy has to do something with all the space and farm he has. Time to put EG on his back and prove why he's so highly rated
|
didn't they use scan and saw it showed something?
|
this is a terrible game lol
|
resolut1on is a shadow of his former self
so sad
|
Nice to see arteezy carry the game! Probably arc warden will become a ban priority against EG.
|
rofl that double killing shadow shaman in the fountain
|
i was waiting for resolut1on to go badly on majors, go back to EU and play for navi
not sure i want this version of reso tho lol
|
|
|
|
|
what? are we watching the same game? reso was doing really good. he managed to came back from bad start as morphling. i feel like the team isnt in the same page yet unlike eg. EG play like unit while forward gaming team failed to counter eg surprised initation. Two of forward's mistakes were when mirana died trying to dive into arc warden while has only tidehunter support and when reso waveform in deep to avoid winters curse when his teammates were busy jungling.
Anyway, arc warden deserves a lonedruid treatment at this point. Playing the double doesnt have any risk at all for the arc warden itself while meepos clone has only boot to share and lone druid's bear doesnt scale as hard. My guess it will be increased in tempest double's bounty because its not worth to kill when you have to spend your cooldown and mana.
edit: sorry for the double post. i hope an admin could delete the above post.

I know I'm getting ahead of myself, but it fills me with such pain to see PPD up against virtus pro AGAIN, knowing that the odds of victory are not great. Preparing myself for the usual disappointment.
|
renaming this thread for Day 4, a little strange to only have two matches today but I am excited to see Fnatic vs EG
|
oh my gawd this black/bulldog cast is unbearable lol
|
Gr8 b8 TnC. This Black^ and Bulldog cast is not so good lol. Holy shit Kuku.
|
|
|
i bet reddit think that casting was amazing
|
Game 2 was something else. On many levels.

i know black gets excited easily, but he needs to slow down his speech for one thing
and idk why bulldog keeps getting invited over others

We need to stop experimenting in big LANs. TI final was ruined for me by the random tricast out of nowhere

Both of them are trying to fill in the hype caster and analyst role simultaneously, and it isn't working. They're constantly tripping over their words and shouting and blabbering for big plays or teamfights which isn't good. I don't feel either of them are a comprehensible high-energy caster who can follow a team fight and explain what happened clearly.
|
Black and Bulldog can't do play by play but they have great insights especially bulldog. They are fun to listen to for comedic duo. I kind of agree they should stop play by play because it isn't working. Didn't expect TNC to comeback from that match at all. Spectre didn't have radiance and axe had dagger vanguard. How the fuck VG fucked that up. Good job on TNC and Kuku's insane play.

the spec was the strongest hero
they literally had like no dmg to kill a farmed spec
and even 7k gold behind i think the main problem is whatever happened to the comeback mechanics where one team fight can wipe out a huge lead
|
tnc prob pick spec again lol
|
great rotation from gabbi
haven’t seen a first chrono be that effective in a while
|
this morph is gonna run into a lot of problems from a chrono + et + egg + ss disables
but tnc will prob choke as usual
|
TNC's game 3 is a balance between how hard Armel can carry vs how hard Kuku can try to throw. Game 1, Kuku's throw was too strong.
|
VG is falling apart.
Also, as Grant mentioned early in the cast, a top 6 finish and qualifying for another Major puts you pretty likely to be locked for TI9.
|
TNC just don't have the stones. Vici holding perfectly
|
|
|
always rooting for the team going hg into buybacks + disgusting amounts of teamfight ults, good job on not throwing tnc
|
VG played really bad there and i don't get the death prophet pick. She's really bad midlane hero now. Back then she had just enough damage in teamfight, control and sustain. With all those nerfs, she's just not pickable material. Kuku did it again, pressuring bottom t3 and took it with its wards really hurt VG a lot. VG had to play around bottom lane and made roshaning almost impossible.
I felt like if the networth was more or less the same on both team, phoenix had to start the fight and followed by chrono. The only thing VG would do in that situation is to fall back as far as possible because the only hero who could reach the egg was death prophet.
|
wow, that tp out from rtz and the save from Cr1t (maybe, if they really couldn't step in the bubble it didn't matter much anyway)... EG with the plays lol
|
Fnatic got 5 kills and a silencer buyback, 3 towers, and a rax for a tiny
That's a feels fucking bad for EG

The DP pick was so confusing. Everything on VG's draft up to the last pick looked like it was setting up for an Ori Lina. And then they pick a worse hero that is worse for this draft, that Ori is also worse at playing.
Literally nothing about the DP pick makes any sense.
|
EG has the whole map, but Hg will be difficult...
|
So centaur is 19/25 now in the major. Insane win-rate on that hero.
Also EG first picking arc warden is interesting, I didn't have a chance to catch the draft panel, but was there any reasoning given (other than arteezy is obviously good on the hero)? Based on a cursory look on Dotabuff for the EG vs NiP/Forward/Fnatic, it seems that EG will pick AW if axe/io are out of the way (although io was first phase banned every game I think). Also in 3/4 games with AW they banned brood before picking AW (or picked AW then banned brood immediately after). The one time EG didn't ban brood with AW was game 3 against Forward, but maybe they just felt that it was a bad brood game at that point already. Also game 2 vs VG in the groups they left brood open vs AW, so it may be team specific (the opponent doesn't have a brood player), or it is already a bad brood game.
|
Arc warden is just completely op in the hand of rtz. Hes always known as afk farmer and the tempest double made it possible for him to jungling and do something at the same time. With 27k networth, he could kill almost anyone with his clone alone. its fucking insane.
