I have finally found someone who likes Lich more than I do. He goes Tranquil Boots, Mekansm, Veil of Discord, Force Staff in most of the games, and buys lots of wards. I will try to build Veil of Discord more often, instead of the usual Midas, Aghanim and Refresher.

tbh I would expect more than a 53% winrate if he really knows how to play Lich in pubs.
One cannot expect to have a really high winrate by solo-queueing in pubs, right? I mean, it is Lich, not Lycan, one can support the team by placing wards, etc. but one cannot solo-win the game.
Well 53% is lower than the average winrate for Lich which has been 55-57% the last few patches.
what i thought was going to be a super hard and lost game was actually the eziest game of my life

bonus points if u guess the lanes right
Play ar and you can always force yourself to random heroes.Finally finished my compendium challenge... I was expecting ET to be difficult but I was surprisingly ok. Kudos to Valve for forcing me to play heroes I wouldn't have otherwise touched. I look forward to the daily challenge.
After switching my build to getting blink as my first core item, I'm watt more effective with nyx now. Rushing Dagon just wasn't working out for me. Blink just allows me to be slippery as hell and land otherwise impossible impales for more pick offs. It's a shame that most nyx guides say to rush Dagon first.

I'd be going LS/Dazzle safe, PA mid, Lich/Doom off with possibly having the Lich with PA mid instead, but I'm going to guess it was the opposite of that.
doom solo, lich mid, pa offlane, dazzle went between safe and offlane, and LS jungle. I was vs Void mid lmao.
A lot of pub players are terrified of mid, I've seen plenty of players pick mid heroes but refuse to go mid, screwing up the entire lineup. I guess some are scared of the responsibility, they can always blame the support if they do something stupid in sidelanes.I was going to put Void mid in the probably but I find it hard to believe anyone would giveup mid as a Sniper....
Being a C9 fan can be so frustrating sometimes. It's not that they lose, it's that they lose in such stupid ways.

Suddenly, Slesh. I haven't heard from him since the first International, interesting to see him back casting these WPC games with GoDz. Nebu1a (analyst desk from TI2 I think) disappeared out of the blue as well.
Solo mid Void is totally viable if youre not a total shitter. Bash + Evasion makes it easy to farm
You get a very fast 6 and usually easy farm and can snowball hard. Plus if you get a haste/DD you can wreck shit in the under-leveled sidelines
I feel that mid is overrated. You get blamed for everything and no matter what hero you play, if you dont gank you get "GG NOOB MID NO GANK PLS FF I AFK"
I'd rather solo offlane than mid
If Pie has practised his Wisp stacking then Bat should get a super fast blink, those jungle camps will be huge.
Edit: Or he could be top.....
This is more like C9's best strats from earlier in the year. Bait the other team into worrying about EE's hero then let Sing be the carry as such, supplemented by a draft that allows EE to contribute without huge farm (in this case visage birds with Drow aura).
More like SingSong carrying fEEd hard.
I dont understand why EE likes carrys like Drow/PA so much. Its 30% him dominating and 70% him getting carried hard by Aui/Sing
Pack it up Cloud 9
I predicted wrong, they got one win.
