EHOME is too comfortable with wk, should be a ban priority imo
also why is no one picking OD, hero is still very good currently right?

I see you missed MDL last year?
|
I just want Frog to go back to bi-monthly patches. The game feels so dull without the shake-ups every so often.
|
Why is it showing 2-1 for NIP? Shouldn't it be 2-2?
Nvm dotatv error.
|
A lot of teams have favored Batrider this tournament, but I still don't see the value in this Meta. Beastmaster does most of the same, unless you're talking really late game.
|
NiP is going to run out of damage. They needed 33 to be on a hero that does tower push in the early game.
|
Bit of Wings-esque "buy items that eliminate 2 enemy heroes" with the double Atos.
Edit: NiP plays like they have a lot of damage when they draft "not enough" damage. It's a "thing" with them.
Edit2: This game was over after they drafted the Batrider. The hero does so little with the farm he gets, and NiP had no tower damage. Ehome has a simplier, easier to execute game strategy and draft around it with a smaller hero pool.
Edit: The Bo1 Eliminator tournament comes down to... a Bo1.

In the end i admit that this finals alone salvages entire tournament format.

Only Alliance won't be eliminated in a Bo1. 
Though the Bo1 format has made the tournament really, really tanky. The format caused a Meta shift, which has interesting implications on its own.

Late to the party, but glad I'm here for game 5 draft. PPD's under pressure game planning/draft is always fun to watch/fanboy.

Seriously though, I'm going to go look up the NiP/PPD/Undying win rate stats. They fucking can't be good.

undying... WE LOOOOOOST, so much for the major bois
|
And another undying pick. RIP NiP, was a good series tho.

huskar is not nearly as good with new drow as old drow, but it'll be hilarious to see huskar hitting faster than a maxed out alchemist

Sadly impossible because IAS cap.

Huskar himself is actually decent, and especially against this draft from Ehome.

oh, the huskar is still good

time to petition the chilly amphibian, AS over IAS cap becomes damage or multishot

PPD's Undying winrate on NiP is 40% over 10 games. And if you look at the 4 wins. It's Gambit, Chaos, The Final Tribe, and Liquid(KL-Major-Qualifier-garbage-Liquid).
Any time it's been drafted against a Tier 1 team, it's a loss.
