The International 2016 (Aug 3rd - 13th)

That's a way to finish a game

WELP.

This is what happens when Drow has (1) no lifesteal and (2) no actual damage item.

#1 in particular got him killed in the end. No way a Drow should get into a 60+ minute game and NOT have Satanic. Druid simply walked up on him, disabled his passive and took like 50% of his damage away from him. If he has satanic or an MKB, EG wins there.

Also, Sumail had a brain fart not 2-shotting Lich and letting him get chain frost off on him. He essentially killed himself by ignoring the Lich.

They should be mad at themselves.

I don't think they really cared at that point in the game, they just wanted it to end.

Which could be a weakness(EG has shown that they don't like playing the rat style games with some of their bans), but I think if the game actually mattered to them, they would have played more conservatively at the end there.

You're probably right. And to be fair, if they get off 2 more autos from either core, they win the game and this conversation is very different.

...but they didn't. RIP.
 
to be fair, i dont think it was about items in the end, it was just straight up misplay, probably because of "exhaustion" (especially in a game that didn't matter that much)

but fuck, that was hype
 
Another TI, another year of Alliance shitting on their haters. Win or lose, Alliance has been responsible for some of the best games of this tournament so far. They're honestly the most unhatable team in all of Dota. Just like the game of Dota itself, being an Alliance fan provides the lowest of lows but also the highest of highs and I wouldn't want it any other way.

I mean, this is exactly what I thought of old C9.

Speaking of which: Let's go Secret!

Sure. I was as big a C9 hater as there was back in those days and even I saw the inherent entertainment value of watching them play. Secret doesn't even provide the same thrills since watching them play is just watching abject sadness.
 
EG is just fucking around at this point with this draft.

A guy I play Dota with swears there is collusion going on. This dude has a serious tin foil hat for Alex Garfield and it's pretty hilarious to witness.
 
This casting on EG vs. [A] is super strange. EG is plowing through towers against a pushyheavy lineup and the casters are treating it like they are losing horribly. If they were losing horribly all their T1's would be down...
