Wish I understood Russian or Chinese to see what the differences are in the broadcasts. I like the casting pairs fine but I think the panels on the English stream don't really even attempt to analyze games in that much detail. And then there's the panels in mid season tournaments where people straight up say "I was eating and didn't see half the game"

Huh, the boat working twice against bonds is actually something i did not think about.

P. S. Did any non-Infamous team win with WK yet?

Yeah I really don't understand the lack of post game analysis. It's not like the talent can't do it just seems a choice to focus on the 'wow that was sick now over to the banter'

Talking about damage, i feel like if this game gets past 30 minutes, LGD win with ease.

A year ago when his stun was actually good.

It was one of the most picked heroes of TI8 but I think mostly played on the offlane dual lane and not as a super heavy farmer

lgd can technically win if all of vg group up and get 5-man ghost ship chain stunned like 3 fights in a row.

Insania reminder made me re-evaluate LGD's teamfight actually. Basically it depends on next item Ame is going for with his 4 wraith bands.

WK 3 / Willow 4 was nasty last year.

WK was meta carry I think at the last Minor/Major cycle, but the timings, at TI, are different. Not sure what happened in the last patches with him. His timing is the main thing right now.

More interesting meta trend is that Gyro is no where anymore. That's how quickly the meta shifts at TI.

At this point it might even go past 80 minutes, because of the guys who are commenting it.

EDIT: Also, Maybe outfarming freefarming WK is weird.

Will pop up next series as a 1st ban by OG. Not sure if they have other reason for it or if it's just to deter Wisp teams from opening with that combo so OG can leave the option of core Wisp for themselves.

Though now that OG 1st phased the Wisp against NB maybe EG will just ban it
