Divine Palm against MVP is just always impressive to watch, how insanely fast they just stop all damage on this target.

LOL the face when the MVP guy (don't know who) saw the Hammer!
He was visibly shocked
edit: they must be VERY confident with the cleanse
In PvZ the zerg can make the situation spire out of control but protoss can adept to the situation.

I don't know about that Hammer pick, tbh. :o
Couldn't Sonya just pick up Leap and wreck Hammer over and over and over again? That's what I'm doing if I see a Hammer on the opposite team. Might not work on the pro-level, of course, but in theory, Hammer vs Sonya doesn't seem such a great idea to me.

I think it makes no sense and hoping to be proven wrong.

MVP have a great comp vs Hammer

Can someone explain to me, why Leap is never picked in pro games?

For the game: I don't think EDG has a chance to win this, tbh.

yeah i thought this was going to be leap too, but maybe they just prefer the lane sustain of WoB and Rich even got imposing presence (which makes a lot of sense vs hammer) for sustain

The fact that Black recognized they could take the bot fort and later on prepare a 3 camp push to end and not have to play vs orbital BFG mesmerizes me. Masterful.

Poor Hammer pick, into Stitches, Li Ming, Xul, Uther, Sonya... I love the idea of it but that is literally an anti-hammer comp.

They really relied on hook for picks not hard engaging at all.
I think if they had a Mura or Tyrael instead of Stitches it would be Leap. I saw at least one game with leap on this tournament

Might sound weird, but I was quite sure that this is gonna be a 3:0 after the first game. The entire first game just went about as perfect as it could for EDG - and still they lost in the end. The rest of the series was just a one-sided stomp.

EDG did great this tournament, but MVP is just on an entirely different level than the rest of the world.

Grats to MVP Black, definitely seemed like the strongest team. Disappointed in the foreigners (there's a surprise) but I feel like they didn't show the top of their game. Also very impressed and entertained by the Chinese teams - Heroes is definitely becoming more and more entertaining to watch, especially when they play.

It was similar for me. I thought EDG had pretty much won the draft with several comfort picks on their side - and then they still lose. That showed that MVP Black is really a step above them.

Yea, the Chinese teams were probably the most entertaining of the whole tournament. The whole chinese "bush" meta thing has me intrigued of what playing on that server looks like.

MVP Black is just dominant, not losing a single match the whole tournament against the best in the world. I expected them to win, but still impressive to watch.

Yeah I was a little disappointed at that draft. As soon as the hammer came down I felt like the game was obviously over just from draft.
