Secret's wrinkle in a standard "Global Strat" approach is itemizing for both disable & disrupting the other team's ability to team fight. It works as something of an anti-Deathball lineup as well. This game was over by about 15 minutes, but it's quite interesting to see this wrinkle. Great analysis. Their draft and execution kind of reminds me of a typical Terran control/contain strategy from Starcraft. Not the perfect comparison It was the closest thing to a Mech Strat you can see in Dota. The Arc Warden can always win the late game, so the point is to get all of that extra farm into very specific items. One thing everyone lost about the way Wings played is that their point of drafting unconventional heroes was really about making sure their core approach wasn't banned, along with building items specifically to the prepared strategy. Secret's draft in game 2 could have been run through by TL if they didn't go with those types of items. No shotguns or Zeus Aghs and TL probably wins a fight around Roshan in the midgame.
Secret's drafting is probably the best in the world right now. It's crazy that coming out of drafts it's so hard to forecast a winner.

Think I favor liquid's draft here

I wish Razor wasn't in the meta. There's no hero more boring

Item builds matter as much, thus winning lanes dictates how the entire match plays out.

Just realized that Secret is using a NiP-type draft. Just playing it a lot better.

Razor from behind is such a worthless hero...

MidOne overplayed that massively going in solo vs all because of fresh BKB
