I would need to watch previous years to remember clearly, how the game felt at 50-60mins but it feels like it's far harder to cleanly initiate these days. With so many defensive items, heroes being so tanky and so on, you sometimes can hardly even jump supports. And then if you do jump, they will have enough gold to buyback anyway and you'll lose rosh because you made the mistake of trying to initiate and blowing your cds

I think their main problem is that they are clearly addicted to tobacco. Despite common belief, cigarettes actually destroy and ruin focus.
Most of the players smoke it seems, so it evens it out. Not that I agree with your assessment per se. Smoking calms the nerves thus also increases the focus.


bullshit. This is just what smokers tell themselves to justify their addiction. I highly, highly doubt many of the Western players smoke.

IIRC at least some on OG and Liquid do.
And on Secret.

I think they weren't expecting them to die the T4 so quickly, so it might have just caught them off guard.




If you play for 15 Million Dollar and don't know the absolute basics of the game, you dont deserve to get the money.

I will give credit where it's due, in the past game past 50 minutes was a boring farm fest where both sides were afraid to do anything for minutes because of farming buybacks that would end with one side having such a superior lategame it was just becoming a slow death animation.

You can watch Game 1, but you can't really explain game 1. If that last Range Rax had gone down, it'd have been another Mega Creep comeback.

wtf another rax advantage into loss ?

Higher percentage than letting a Spectre get that Aegis with a Meepo/TA lineup tho

Basically Liquid got a lanes of rax first, got 20k gold advantage, threw it ALL away, then lost 2.5 lanes of barracks and throned with Ana holding buyback until throne started falling. Then Miracle presses bkb and they kill it with w33po. Must watch game because it's not very explainable.

It's a low percentage precisely because there is a high chance Spectre gets that Aegis anyways, but you lose ravage and buyback, no?

5 meepos are hitting your ancient
BKB Deso TA is hitting your ancient
...
there is nothing more you can do. You shouldn't have let them into your base in the first place, once theyre at your T4s its done anyway

Liquid got one set of rax, got teamwiped after trying to go for a 2nd set, then OG got 2 sets and got teamwiped going for the 3rd set then liquid went throne. The usual stuff.

Yup. OG had taken 3 T3s, 3 melee and 2 range rax, but TL had taken Mid Rax.

They need to fix buyback dota, like only allowing heroes to TP 5secs after buyback.
