i feel like i've seen EG lose like 5 fights from that exact position in this tournament

Yeeeeeep.

Sidenote, Uni has, aside from a few stuns, done so very little on Mirana.

Only one or two moonlight shadows that succeeded this whole game.
 
Empire getting Resolution as a stand in for TI was so big, he's such a great player

Really putting himself in the shop window for next season

they're lacking in vision and setup so hitting arrows just isn't happening often in this game

he's doing as well as could be expected on mirana

they lost this one thanks to the draft and never being able to counter empire's vision

Oh yeah, not saying it's his fault, but it just doesn't even fit with the team - I get that the thought was that SK and WW would be enough initiation/counter-cc to save PL, but other than the stuns, Mira only really gives early damage with aghs, but Uni didn't go that route.

I'd be very surprised if Reso doesn't get that phonecall from Puppey that he's always wanted, what with Secret going out early yet again. Navi no doubt want him but I can't imagine why he would want to go there as there are much better options for him.

the magic damage build isn't apparently viable anymore so he couldn't go aghs, cr1t seems to like her just for the ult and right click build
 
i dunno what butterfly is supposed to do for pl, the magic damage will still rip him apart and even if he misses a few times sven can still destroy him

Yeah, Reso is gonna be very highly in demand post TI7. He deserves it to be honest.

Oh, really? Huh.

That seems....unwise versus a ember+bat+ES lineup - Mira tends to pop.

Also, lol @ Tobey stumbling after saying 'ass'.

edit: Who needs Vision?

EG don't need no vision.
 
yeah this game's done
wyvern and pl are bad picks this game
AA ulti blast basically nullifies wyvern's embrace, and works well against pl
mirana's only consistent way to hit arrow is by embrace, sk's stun into mirana arrow isn't as easy to pull off
the draft is just not cohesive enough
 
0/10 and 0/12 supports on EG.

Someone needs to slap the shit out of Cr1t for that draft, and maybe Arteezy for his performance nonetheless.
 
yep there's the gg
eg got DESTROYED here
edit: resolution is looking AMAZING, he's the standout carry player so far, maybe best pos 1 in the game currently?
 
Holy shit, what a disciplined game from Empire. Big upset just taking a game from EG considering they are using a stand in, even if it is a great one.
