They utilised a vast hero pool, and their run lasted about 4 months.Wings probably had the most strategies of any team, but 7.00 is a very different game at the strategic level because all of the talents add multiple timings. Talents are just means. | ||

I don't think OG were purely reliant on a 5 v5 fight at all Hit your timing, group up, push and win the game. If your opponents try to fight, you wipe them. That's the core of deathball. Rat is a pretty good counter to that but it isn't viable this TI. | ||

I come to it because I love the combos and hugely coordinated plays. OG had some of that, but less of it overall. If you’re not an every day kind of player it can be hard to see what they’re doing from a tactical advantage. For example, fountain hooks were incredibly unbalanced but the coordination required was evident just looking at it. Many moment since of these games looked like a murderfest with the kind of hyperactive diving that new players have a bad habit of doing. I like the OG guys, definitely admire what they pulled off, and don’t want to watch them play Dota again before patches. I hope that feels fair. I don't know if it's the patch. Liquid-LGD was all about the tactics and the team-fighting spells. There were dives (Miracle as usual, Chalice really stood out for bad decisions), but it felt like those games were about executing the fights. OG right now definitely does feel like they're using overall strategy to overwhelm any tactical disadvantages that occur, but I'm not sure what they're doing differently to create that "environment". | ||

Constant pick offs during chaotic skirmishes into deathball + objectives. Half of the chaotic dives behind T3 towers were just to secure a numbers advantage while pushing objectives. IMO thats a big reason why they could stomp Liquid the way they did. | ||

They don't really care if they lose during the skirmishes, because they know that once the timing hit, they are much stronger. | ||

The timing just came much much sooner because Kuro kept picking Tide + TA, helping OG run over the lanes. | ||

some salty people need to get a grip. OG just were far better than any team at this event. whatever you call it, deathball/skill difference/mentality difference and they established themselves as the best team in the history of TI. | ||

OG was so lucky to get Liquid in the finals Secret or LGD would have been so much better. LGD really did throw the upper bracket Alch twice and threw the lower bracket finals with that high ground trying to rush the ending for no reason. Secret or LGD vs OG would have been the finals to see. Now OG will vanish after this next patch since they just cant cut it through most meta's. | ||

We know that you made some mistaken predictions in this thread and that you write things that sound like salt or bait. Why do you do that though? What made you feel this is a good way to spend your time? Feel free to share! | ||

They literally didn't lose a series throughout the entire thing, they weren't "lucky." | ||

I knew they will win again when Secret lost in WB and VG not playing their top form (the only 2 teams imo that has a chance to stop OG) | ||
