This was the first Dazzle game I've seen work in a while, but that's because Alliance never bothered to try to kill the Dazzle. The time they did they wiped Ehome. Ehome definitely was in "old, grizzle vet" mode. They just had to maintain their formation and Alliance wouldn't rotate around them.
At least Ehome vs NiP should be interesting. There are 4 TI winners in this upcoming match, and all from different tournaments. That's actually fascinating.

I mean, NiP are draft-dependent team, so this final has potential to be very very ugly to watch no matter who wins.
|
Was sitting in the draft, with 33's pick open for the 10th. Brood open for rolling the lanes, thinking, "could they brood here?". Yup, ppd trying to troll the other team.
|
I forsee some salt from peter after 33 just casually walks into their whole team. He was incredibly close to just feeding himself away
ehome still very much in this game...
|
I was skeptical of the spider army build but whoah that damage
|
NiP has been playing this too slow, something that happens when they have Shadow Shaman. And Fata overextended them into some deaths. He really needs an Orchid and to hunt that Grimstroke.
|
And Ehome overextend twice when NiP have buybacks and that's all she wrote for this game. But it was a nice game at least D:
|
I don't know what it is about ppd teams and really questionable pushes against the Safe Lane T3, but something funky always happens around there.
In the end, Ehome held off pretty well. The point of the Brood is to ruin the early game, but that the Ehome draft had so much control that getting a lot of kills was hard for NiP until Ehome had to extend themselves. Not that the game didn't end on Ehome going up towards the Radiant Shrine area without vision.

undying? we lost
I don't see the synergy in nip's draft, ehome is going to outlast them easily

Ehome is going to keep drafting as much tank as possible. NiP can win this, but I do like Ehome's draft better... if they don't get crushed in the laning phase. Or if NiP can shut down their jungle farming. Ehome needs a lot of gold.
|
"Who is Ehome's carry this game?"
Yes.
|
I like what Ehome is doing strategically. They've really not played that much together, so they've just decided to make everything as simple as possible. They have a Tower Hitter, Stuns, Control and Late Game Tankiness.
Edit: NiP ran out of time and didn't rotate hard enough when they should have. The power of ultra-late game tankiness + high wave clear keeps the lanes always pushed out. Like I said, I like Ehome's strategic approach, but if they lose lanes they're normally going to be toast if a team puts pressure on.

We have arrived at the point of this game that Dusa just doesn't care anymore. Facetanks 1v5

2nd Pick is clearly the way in this tournament.

And obviously both NiP and NiP's opponent want lats pick, just to not get Meepwnd.

more dusa yuck, won't someone think of the viewers and ban it?
just give kotl mana leak again so we can kick dusa out of the meta, please cold toad
|
this is a maelstrom crit rapid fire dreamcoil kind of puck game. Straight up win the lane, buy midas, steal all the tomes.
|
I hate when NiP gives Fata the Puck. Puck just always runs out of damage so hard.
