It's okay, SD is one of soft counters to Alchemist, and SD Tiny can nearly blow up Alchemist reliably until point where Alchemist falls off.

Yep im confused at why any team with first pick would ban bambi,


See the OG/EG series. Enchantress wins her lane, which lets you rotate either to the mid or safe lane, potentially winning all 3 lanes. Also, Turret Bambi just does work. TL had real problems closing game 2 against RNG because of how strong she is as a front-line tank.

Because they plan on first picking something else or have different playstyle that doesn't revolves around Bambi but about Mindcontrol getting heroes that build auras. If you first pick Bambi then you let enemy get both SD and Elder Titan for example or something like that.

EDIT: That's a really early Timbersaw pick.

You missed the point: TL had first pick, they had no problems picking her themselves. Unless we are to treat Ench first ban as admittance of inability to play one of the most broken heroes in the patch.

EDIT: The point about SD-ET double pick is valid, but nothing stops you from banning SD or ET instead of Bambi.

So probably an S4 tiny, Sumail timber, what is left for Rtc to carry on.

I assume Liquid will run Miracle on the Alch and W33 on the ember?

Enchantress doesn't fit TL that well as a pos 3, as it puts MC on a hero he can't be super aggressive on.
