rng evens out over time and it's still more +EV in most void games

i'm not convinced the impact ceiling of ideal chrono talent chrono usage is that high in most games, esp without a particularly good void comp

whereas backtrack, again, averages out to 33% more ehp / 25% damage reduction from all sources, which is a ridiculous thing to have as a lategame agi carry with lifesteal

I just love how the Chinese panel has fucking Hao, Wings players, pros all around breaking down the games to the smallest details that we don't notice meanwhile we have Trent going "well Secret JUST PULLED IT OUT IN THE END Y'KNOW"

It blows my mind that the english panels consistently have analysts like Trent and Tsunami who are like 5k flat at best, on top of randomly throwing in people like ODPixel. I certainly don't belong on a panel and they're not more knowledgeable than I am. I guess most big name western Dota players are still playing, but there's still Fear, EGM, Envy, Moo, MoonMeander. All players that are finalists if not winners of Valve tournaments.



They tried and Bulldog probably acted like a vaccine.

And Kyle is good, even if he always believes in the push strat, like when he was a captain.

Yeah, Bulldog is a trainwreck for a lot of reasons.

Kyle and Synderen are the best for sure. Lacoste is alright, Blitz/Cap are okay. And they bring pros in after they get eliminated (like the Insania and Boxi thing going on as I type this)

I miss Winter

why did blitz keep saying chrono aoe is better, isn't the 25% backtrack like 33% more ehp on a dps hero that sustains in fights

A good chrono on heroes that can't handle it ends the match right then and there.
Backtrack doesn't just end the game on your onus.

A good chrono does not need to take up entire screen. If anything, it's easier to place a bad chrono with aoe talent.

Backtrack literally ends the game on it's own when you backtrack laguna blade with aghs or a crit from PA with rapier.

True, but you don't decide to backtrack one ability or the other.
People like to be in control of their destiny.

Enlightened already know that nobody is in control of their own destiny so they go along with more RNG.
When it comes to placing a chrono, they are in control. You're basically sidestepping the point, for a war on words.

Not really, i am making a general statement on free will here. If free will does not exist, then you are not in control of your chrono placements either. And even if you are, you are not in control of your team mates stepping in this chrono, just look at Yapzor last game.
Whether they choose one talent or the other is free choice for most people, unless you want to enter a discussion of spiritual inability for choice, which in itself removes your own argument. Resting on their own abilities to place a chrono, is within their control, unlike RNG, which also was your point.

Not spiritual, but physical inability of choice, to be exact. And yes, it definitely removes my argument, since it means that choosing talent itself is not a decision made of free will, but my point stands: going for more RNG and less control just makes sense.
SMH.

big chrono has literally never benefited the void's team, NEVER. meanwhile in this postmodern "status resistance" satanic nullifier dota lategame, void always wants to be able to manfight outside chrono so backtrack is invaluable

I want to know if each player gets their own headset, cause I wouldn't want to use the same one that someone with sweaty head grease used from the previous matches.

Inf/NB was kind of a sad series, but Mineski/Secret is a top 5 of all-time series at TI.

To be honest, i am not sure about LGD's draft. It feels like it can run out of steam with ease and then roll over. Especially against offlane Abba.

Also i have bad deja vu of kunkka+TB by LGD.
