Medusa hard counters a few heroes because she eats all of their mana, especially in the late game. I'd been waiting for someone to draft Drow/Medusa. Drow can carry late and Medusa is still the best late game carry right now. Teams really should watch part of the Minor. Drow dominated that tournament along with pubs. You just have to take it out. | ||

now she is strong during midgame as well and is still very powerful during lategame while using aoe mana drain which translates into doubling her hp. | ||

That's not what we are talking about here. Medusa alone can stop the pushes completely with 2 Mystic Snakes. Medusa in general doesn't have enough counters herself to justify giving her spamming basic spell that counters half heroes in the game, oh forgot to add that spell is unavoidable with blink/dash/manta. Medusa was always one of the best 6-slotted carries in the game if you don't have counters to her. Mystic Snake talent at level 15 ensures that she can have incredible impact in the mid game with just one item. Don't know, some time ago really strong early game heroes fell off later in the game, and really strong late game heroes had trouble getting there if they had bad early game. Drow and Medusa just defy that logic, because of how fast they farm, you go for Treads + 3 Wraith Bands and just keep jungling and you are super good already with like one item. That's what I dislike about them. And it's not like "hey they have reached their timing", they are just getting better and better as the game goes on. | ||

As for the next round of games, NiP goes back to AM and Chaos probably has a better draft than game 1. In TL vs Ehome, someone bans the Drow! Edit: TL goes back to the Viper. That worked well yesterday. | ||

You can't pick Spectre and AM in the same team and expect them to do well in the mid game for example, this is pretty specific problem to the Medusa and Drow.

"This Liquid draft looks interesting", while Liquid has the most standard draft in the game where KG doesn't have hard carry and have like 2x pos 2, and 2x pos 3 heroes. | ||

What will they do when PA comes with bkb I mean PA doesn't need the BKB lol, they can't do anything. To be honest Keen might have better chances if Puck was pos 3, Leshrac pos 2 and Doom pos 1 with Crimson Guard and Halberd rush. Don't know, beside draft looking wonky it was also terribly executed. | ||

I'm a bit lost on what you're trying to say, because Chaos didn't lose to NIP twice. 3rd place in groups kinda get shafted though... by needing to play an extra match, just to suffer the same fate as 4th place (having to play Bo1). | ||
