LOL. RTZ can't even get to the shop to buy his Relic--which is fine because that build won't save him...

 

[mStudios]

GG this game already xd

 

[Chris R]

3-22 final score incoming

 

[neurosisxeno]

LGD throwing pretty hard right there. Maybe died and Banana died to creeps (lol).

 

[evlcookie]

Creeps MVP

 

[Gxgear]

Being a Secret fangay is pretty life shortening.

 

[Cels]

call me insane but some more silly mistakes like maybe getting caught for free or kunkka dying to creeps bc of overestimating rum and secret might be able to push this beyond 35+ min and who knows, with tb and alch they could make something happen

 

[Metroidvania]

Who are the heroes that weren't picked? That fat guy with the hook?

No, Pudge was (troll) picked by Wings today, in addition to earlier.

Not picked/banned (including Wildcard stage) are Jakiro, Treant, Lina, Bloodseeker, Visage, and Leshrac.

 

[shira]

It's Puppeys team so he will at least be the one staying if everyone else leaves.

Prolly EE too.

 

[aeolist]

that linkens on aggressif is going to block a lot of shit

 

[evlcookie]

Maybe EE watched that shitposting video on reddit, he has purchased a BKB!

 

[Anno]

This just ain't Secret's patch if they insist on this do nothing Dota. Bulba is the only do shit hero on the team and he's only been able to use roar twice in 27 minutes, and it's not like it's because he's just farming.

 

[waxinlyrical]

Envy buying a BKB :O

Oh ok thanks. I'll have to watch the replays, never seen Pudge being played at high lvl.

Also wasn't there a lot of Lina's last year? Lol

 

[KingKong]

Secret resorting to TB and alch illusion spam is emblematic of how they play and exactly why I want them to lose

There is only cheese now...

ee tried to throw so bad

Is the Twitch stream being terrible or is it my connection? Everything else is fast, and I have a high bandwidth, so I'm guess it's Twitch.

You'd be better off looking for Na'Vi games from TI1 to TI3 if you wanna see Pudge - Dendi was the best Pudge back then and Na'Vi dominated a few teams with it (LGD & Alliance if I recall). Plus, there was an interaction where Chen could send you back and if your hook was flying when you were teleported, the hook would drag anything it hit back to the base.

So, Dendi & Na'Vi used these Fountain Hooks to get a bunch of players into a guaranteed kill. Even took aegis I believe.

This particular match is not gonna be the prime example of a pudge match, lol.

Lina was hit with consecutive damage + spell range nerfs on her ult (and damage on her stun), which is why she's fallen off.

All good here.

Fuck it's not that Secret disappoints you, it's that they give the fans some hope then stomps on it.

The fountain hooks in TI3 were amazing. I'm sad that Valve nerfed it. That's why I love Na'Vi. They always had crazy strats that actually worked.

Weird. I loaded it up in the game itself and it's streaming great. Not sure what is going on. I can't miss Secret getting wrecked!

 

[bbd23]

PLEASE GOD LET SECRET LOSE

 

[aeolist]

SD illusions are actually disgusting now

Same on all fronts lmao, hated people crying bug abuse. It was so hard to get it right, you deserved it if you hit it.

 

[Quonny]

zzzzzz

Exactly. They whiffed it a few times, so it was a little risky. Your Pudge gets taken out of the fight if you miss. TI3 Na'Vi was amazing.

Haha ok thanks guys.

I stopped playing Dota 2 but Ti time always brings me back to the game, I'm enjoying this even though I'm wondering why LGD aren't able to close this faster.

Their team comp isn't great at pushing high ground and Secret's is decent at defending. They're getting there, though.

 

[SilentRacoon]

The secret is out.

On top of lacking proper teamwork, these drafts by secret haven't been great either, they always end up resorting in cheap tactics that ultimately never achieve anything against any competent teams. Glad this crappy iteration of the team is getting destroyed, they have nothing interesting to contribute.

 

[Hydrophobic]

Dear lord those omnislashes.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

There we go.

 

[Finalow]

goodbye, team secret.

 

[clockworkinyou]

Seeya puppey, you and cyborgmatt can waddle your asses home

Because Illusions are cancer.

That being said....might be over(ish) now, depending on Buybacks.

 

[evlcookie]

Dunno why they don't pick ember for EE anymore, he was pretty good on it.

RIP Secret.

Yeah I'm noticing the illusion game is strong but that can only last for so long..
