Bad draft by EG.

Always ban lesh.

Ppd on tusk a bad idea.

 

[NaDannMaGoGo]

Still seeing Secret and EG at the top 2 teams right now.

e:
God damn it, can't even ninja that guy. Also it's anime so it's closely related to C9 and therefore Dota, kappabacktoyou!

Sore ga Seiyuu - 01

Hmm ED was fantastic but otherwise, eh. I enjoy the educational aspect and will continue for that right now. Main character was annoying to listen to and the strong sense of moe was a turnoff. I feel a bit hypocritical because Shirobako has some of that, too, but it's more extreme here. All this puppet exposition was also too on the nose for my taste and reminded me of the one Shirobako episode where they used that too often and to a fault.

ah yes, this is totally related to Dota! Kappa

 

[t0rment]

anime talk is on the DOTA community thread. don't spread it pls.

 

[Lemon Crest]

Eva is the best anime ever

yeah empire has no lockdown for AM and QOP

This game was EG's unless Empire ended in 20 mins it seems like.

They have the lockdown, they just weren't aggressive enough and eventually AM vs Storm is going to reach its natural resolution

 

[Metroidvania]

Old Man didn't throw on the AM this time around. Weathered the early game CC from Storm/ES.

Empire looked good for the beginning, there, but didn't quite get enough out of it.

slardar!

I haven't been able to watch any games tonight, but with 9 GP, CDEC is 3-0-1? Holy shit.

I'm honestly not that surprised. CDEC are really good.

 

[Metroidvania]

EG letting some....potentially risky combination picks through there.

edit: Some clowny stuff going on, lmao.

 

[bounchfx]

the hell was the start of this game. how awkward

 

[kvk1]

what a clowny start

 

[iamblades]

Value PMS.

Dunno why he let SD get 6 stacks on him like that tho.

 

[Usobuko]

Go to lower bracket VG, give your spot to Ehome who is more deserving and has Cty and Zyf as young bloods on their first TI.

 

[kvk1]

blitz is so good

 

[KingKong]

What a crazy group. CDEC are destroying Vici though, I wasnt expecting that

It might lead to some weird/tough matchups, imagine VG vs iG in a bo1 elimination game

 

[K.Sabot]

CDEC first out of group in winners wow.

Nice clinch by them, very impressed considering they were an underrated qualifier team.

 

[Metroidvania]

No real right click by EG, and there's nothing like a black hole to save them this time.

CDEC doing work, in the meantime.

 

[FACE]

CDEC is a wildcard team, which is even crazier.

 

[K.Sabot]

EG wanted to win that last game via raw skill instead of a solid draft. Was dominate or lose and they didn't dominate.

 

[fallout]

I'm honestly not that surprised. CDEC are really good.

I expected them to perform, but not this well.

 

[Usobuko]

CDEC is a wildcard team, which is even crazier.

Cdec winning TI will be the stuff of dream for many upcoming teams.

[Lactose_Intolerant]

He posted videos from the live stream I believe and monetized them. Like the player interviews with their families and stuff.

and people defended him?

 

[HK-47]

and people defended him?

Yup. He is probably the fastest creator of game highlights in the community so people like him.

 

[monocromo]

Two questions:

a - is Leshrac 100 % ban / pick at TI5 ?

b - was Batrider picked or banned AT ALL ?

No

Kionedrik is trying to keep track of all the pickbans: http://m.neogaf.com/showpost.php?p=173470254

And his list says yes

Fuck the goatman and the oldman. Those atomic Ray guns arghhhhh stop

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Batrider was picked by C9 when they threw a 25k gold lead vs LGD on day 1.

 

[K.Sabot]

C9 really wanted to show that they could counter Lesh after letting him through but failed all the times they tried. Sad, would have made for a more fun draft if C9 scared other teams out of the current meta 1st stage pick / ban.

 

[linkent]

Been awhile since i played dota.. But have always watch TI,
Which buff did Leshrac get that make him so good now?

 

[kionedrik]

It was a mix of his lightning being buffed for 2 or 3 straight patches, a couple of new items that fit him perfectly (octarine and glimmer for instance) and the change in the meta that favors teamfights a lot.

 

[Monochromaticx]

Fuck the goatman and the oldman. Those atomic Ray guns arghhhhh stop

should have been a mini patch before this TI man

 

[Shengar]

Are there any must watch list from today games?

 

[JawesomeJaw]

Gyro and Lesh are clearly the strongest, but every TI needs its villan heroes. Not sure either of them are as bad as like morph or lycan during their TIs though.

 

[inkls]

He posted videos from the live stream I believe and monetized them. Like the player interviews with their families and stuff.

he didn't monetize the videos. And it was Sunsfan, who did the exact same stuff that called him out on it.

 

[Ikuu]

His entire channel is basically taking other peoples content and putting his name on it.

 

[Haunted]

His entire channel is basically taking other peoples content and putting his name on it.

I thought he usually did highlight videos, editing them together from livestreams and such. That's legit, imo.

But taking complete content from somewhere else is not cool, even if you're the first to post it on YT.

 

[SteveWinwood]

pretty sure I saw an ad the first day on the notail one

 

[gai_shain]

He monetized them and removed that after he got called out

e: Even after removing monetizing it still sucks for the original uploader

ah kk

 

[t0rment]

everyone is trying to beat lesh on this patch. C9, EG and secret let him pass and got beat down. the horse man is just too strong and the meta leaves no room to catch up later. he's going to be 100% p+b rate on the main event i think.

i'm just gonna enjoy him now before he gets the nerf stick 1 week later.

 

[Monochromaticx]

what were some good matches yesterday ?
