Just draft PL

Win ti5.

 

[pompidu]

Lgd did not push. That was a bad move

 

[ashecitism]

good game this

today off to a good start

 

[SilentRacoon]

Woof what a game, too close for comfort

Keep it up EG just one more, don't fail me now.

 

[megalowho]

That was a great, close game. Hope this one goes 3.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Fear with an actual carry.

PPD learned to stop picking razor in this meta of highly mobile heroes.

 

[Emerson]

What a fucking game

 

[ant_]

Game was amazing. In that last fight Aui's death & bloodstone saved Sumail's ass. That blackhole too.

 

[Zero-Crescent]

That will probably go down as one of the closest games in the tournament.

 

[W1SSY]

For a second I thought Universe had an aghs with the way Storm Spirit got pushed in the air.

 

[aeolist]

best international yet

the quality of play has been insane

and <3 black^

 

[la_briola]

U S A U S A U S A U S A U S A U S A U S A U S A U S A U S A

AND CANADA

AND PAKISTAN!

 

[jediyoshi]

what an opener

 

[Monochromaticx]

Black <3

 

[scarybore]

Fun game, sadly for LGD the silencer couldn't make the impact needed and EG played around it very well.

 

[Ketch]

FREEDOM!

 

[eneko]

So gooooood

 

[OctoMan]

Is it bo3?

 

[Dahbomb]

Despite having so many counters to Enigma... Aui has to be MVP that match.

"What did EG do right this match?"

"They picked PL"


LMAO!!!!!

 

[Cleve]

haha black. what do you think eg did right? "Pick PL."

some really great fights this game.

glad to see an enigma work out

 

[FACE]

Is it bo3?

Yes.

LMAO!!!!!

Oh Black, ever the pragmatist. :lol

 

[call_kotaku]

GG EG

PL got way too big, they didn't have the damage to deal with him late game

ppd gave them storm because then maybe couldn't play the ember to counter the PL

 

[Dahbomb]

The mind games with the powerful ultimates in this match were off the charts.

 

[W1SSY]

Has Mad been talking this whole time?

 

[la_briola]

Has Mad been talking this whole time?

Black and Mad.

 

[Armaros]

The mind games with the powerful ultimates in this match were off the charts.

Silencer vs Enigma is one of the major mindgames duels.

Also Rubick vs Magus, Enigma etc.

 

[AnathemicOne]

Let's go EG!!!

 

[SilentRacoon]

The mind games with the powerful ultimates in this match were off the charts.

I don't think silencer did anything in the teamfights, he just kept himself back to trigger global silence to counter the blackhole.

 

[pompidu]

That will probably go down as one of the closest games in the tournament.

That wasn't close.

 

[Moobabe]

LMAO!!!!!

Speaking truth

 

[aeolist]

That wasn't close.

that was super close for a long time

eg was getting picked off and if that had kept happening they could easily have lost some rax

 

[Metroidvania]

That wasn't close.

It was definitely close than some of the stomps.

The swings took place before a team got to a 15-20k lead due to Storm/Clock pickoffs.

LGD had two, maybe three key lost fights that effed them.

 

[Armaros]

that was super close for a long time

eg was getting picked off and if that had kept happening they could easily have lost some rax

they were 1 - 2 pick offs away from losing Roshan, which would have snowballed it for LGD into taking more objectives and breaching high ground.

Storm Spirit or Satanic Gyro aegis are no fucking joke.

Along with SS having BB still at that point. That would be 3 lives on Storm.

 

[Servbot #42]

Yep, EG was battling a fucking silencer with augs and refresher. One bad fight and it's racks.

 

[Ketch]

That game was actually encouraging for NA dota because it feels like EG had the harder strategy to pull off but they played it almost perfectly.

 

[Empty Space]

Does anyone know exactly what time the finals are supposed to start? There has to be a fixed time.

 

[Wok]

Good, ppd. Good ban of Bounty.

 

[KingKong]

awww shit techies bans pay off

 

[Haunted]

Remember, no Razor.

 

[ashecitism]

The Lesh

 

[AnathemicOne]

Wait what, did LGD give Leshrac?

 

[Cleve]

Not to question mad, but I feel like drafting enigma definitely isn't all about the black hole, but a huge part of it is the threat of the black hole. Just sitting on it changes how everyone initiates and fights until it's down.

 

[Par Score]

Another 'shrac trap?

For being like a 98% ban, Leshrac doesn't have a great W/L record at TI5.

 

[Metroidvania]

Techies ban leads to Lesh pick.

Hopefully his run goes better here than it has thus far at TI.

 

[scarybore]

Leshrac again

 

[Zero-Crescent]

Hahaha, a Lesh pick. Let's see if LGD can counter.

 

[abunai]

space goattttttt

 

[W1SSY]

Techies and Naga respect bans for Aui.

 

[Wok]

Wait what, did LGD give Leshrac?

LGD gave Leshrac to VP and dominated them.
