I dunno, I find Gyro super boring, and we ate a mouthful of it for the finals.  Not enough Rubick imo.

So yeah, not that fun to see something has one-sided. Game 3 was way better. Game was actually super hard for EG for a while, it just didn't look like it till CDEC's comp is just looking for pickoffs and stalling till like 3 items on PL+DK (Diffu/Manta/Heart PL + Blink/BKB/AC DK is basically unmanageable for EG). They tried to play their sister team's style but unfortunately don't have the discipline they do to execute it.
But wasn't DK super behind from the start, basically, since he died a bunch even when they killed Storm, and with them moving everyone where they gank they stop farming when it happens too?
His net worth kinda followed for awhile then he plummeted (or rather, the gap grew super wide).

That's mostly cuz none of the supports on either team play the hero well enough.
The hero's all around good, but it's value is heavily dependent on execution, and PPD, Aui, Q, and Garder all don't play the hero, so it's not worth picking.
If you want to see Rubick, you watch Secret or VG.

It was acceptable until he got to 1 full item behind Storm.
Really the demand on his items isn't even that high. He just needs to get AC before they flat out lose, but dying in 3 consecutive fights meant he couldn't even manage that.
Honestly Shiki dropped the ball super hard in that last game.

I don't find Gyro boring per se; but from my amateur point of view, there were way too many Gyro/Storm/Lina.

From a spectator perspective, Gyro fits into that perfect power curve where he's a strong enough early fighter that you're incentivized to take him to fights rather than to AFK farm, but at the same time is strong enough lategame that you feel ok playing longer games rather than drafting 20 minute high ground death pushes.
If you were to turn DotA into a game of homogenized power curves, you'd want all your carries to be balanced around Gyro's power curve.

bleh, time to begin the packing and shit since I leave tomorrow.

Maybe soon I'll understand what's being said in 3L again.

Someones going to have to explain to me why that card is even a thing. I'm a tad tired so I can't really see why that'd be useful. Also a friend is crazy and wants to pre-order me the whole tournament set. It feels awkward.
PFfft hahaha I'm an idiot. That can't be real.
|
Is it just me or does that card look bonkers OP?
|
Seems bad no? 4 mana is expensive and unless you draw into card draw / high mana cards its bad.
|
It is finally an interesting card from the expansion though.Hearthstone needs more cards like this rather than generic broken minions.
|
Can't help but notice Crusnik didn't meet up. What a jobber.
|
At this rate you could build an entire deck based on how lucky you are with your draws and card effects. I want dis.

I dunno.
You play it turn 4, get to draw 4 cards, and can play a 6 mana minion the same turn. Next turn you have 10 mana.
Seems pretty crazy compared to nourish or wild growth to me.
