Yep, this major is going to Secret or VP
I love my boy Artour but there's no way he carries any game vs those two teams. EG struggles too much vs NIP with MC (credit to MC tho, what a god).

well, a really good series overall, the 3 best teams will fight for the title in the end.

icefrog ruined dota with 6.82 rubberband garbage he just had to introduce garbage and iterate instead of toning down void, tinker, viper and mekansm. 6.81b-d was the best.
all he has to do is destroy the hard carries and maybe rework some of them, because he's pushed the economy game to a point where it's dumb af compared to before.

Can't wait for Terrorblade to be dumpstered come 7.20
|
The whole series came down to that nightmare by Fly in game 2 that allowed for the turnaround, NiP were playing really well with a good draft.
|
TB got picked a lot but weird thing is his counters basically doesnt get picked or even banned,even in the game he lost. nobody is picking or banning necro,zeus,tinker etc. in this series. you can even just void+aa his ass. everyone seems to forgot what to do
|
zeus will just get dumpstered mid agaisnt kunkka. necro is offlaner now and they needed initiator. the thing is nip depended on mc to initiate. Game 2 was saksa fault and the draft put it in a way that they dont have counter to bkb.
game 3 was just shit draft. i dont know what was ppd thinking but drow couldnt fight against tb with bkb. they still had no way to push through eg lineup.
|
Really liked NiP's development this major, especially Fata's. He went from a non factor mid at Hamburg to a solid one I saw in the Main Event here.

Drow lineup win lanes, split the map open with early towers and drow aura to push lane creeps in. Allow opportunities for catch on storm and sb drow. Teamfight backed up by ES, phoenix and ET armor negating aura. Well that was the game plan with that draft. Execution is another story.
You either win TB by controlling the entire game and end it early, or pick direct counters like heavy burst stuns lineups to deal with his sunder but risk TB getting out of control early because those heroes tend to be weaker in laning.
Sunder is the main reason why TB is such a broken hero. It makes it way too easy to execute compared to other carries.

secret very much so the favorites to take the entire thing I would say
|
They certainly looked like a better team, i mean after the phone-boot-knife-fight that EG v NiP was, this was fairly one sided.
|
this hard carry meta also favor them a lot though. can you imagine miracle playing major with these heroes
