timado had it 100% right, cr1t drafted to win lanes. he picked PL because he could solo vs bat and come out on top, so they won all 3 lanes and then couldn't do anything with it because midgame they could never take a head-on fight.

 

[Technosteve]

they need peter to take them down a peg, and win fucking games.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Fucking rtz curse shtting on my boy universe. NotLikeThis

 

[Qvoth]

i feel kinda bad for chappie, i wouldn't be surprised if empire just decides to replace him with reso at this point
after ti6, dc/thunderbirds/planet odd was very disappointing, but seems like reso is the only one who's still got it
every russian team will be aiming to get reso now

 

[Abilidebob]

It feels so good to see Sheever full of energy like that.

 

[Usobuko]

Russians making a mockery of USA? Fits the theme this year!

Resolution has to be the curse of EG.

 

[Proelite]

PL rip. What a horrible draft.

 

[Monochromaticx]

<3 sheever is a treasure

I want to see the segment ideas that got rejected if this one got through

Well I think Empire would have won NA qualifiers. Not his fault Reso is stuck on odd

Reso on that contract year

bring the brinks trucks

The PL was picked after ES AND AA right?

 

[mysteriousmage09]

Zai and cr1t died more times than total kills EG had.

Team needs a better captain and draft picker. PL was a shit pick, Wyvern did fucking nothing and SK's play of the game was snatching an aegis and dying the very next frame.

Complete shit tier Dota.

 

[ScribbleD]

When will have an idea of the 2017-2018 tournament schedule? I recall there being that twitter leak of dates, but around when are we likely to get confirmation about upcoming major-tier events?

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Third pick, I think. Empore picked shaker first then bat.

I actually laughed at the Tangos joke.

I thought the segment was good. I guess I have a high "cringe tolerance" for these Slacks segments though.

I've noticed this. It doesn't matter if you win lanes when you have no win condition and can't snowball to insane levels.

 

[Drkirby]

Looks like I'm out of team jerseys at this rate. Guess I'll just wear the NP one tomorrow.

Going to have to do laundry too, I really expected free shirts so I only brought 5 with me. Don't know if the all star game will even give out one this year.

ES was first. I think AA or Sven was third/fourth.

PL was fourth pick for EG.

 

[Phoenix RISING]

Wyvern is doing nothing.

You can't play support well if your cores are trash.

 

[neurosisxeno]

I think Sven was picked after PL but ES was definitely picked before.

 

[Technosteve]

kick rtz bring back peter

Day9 is an awesome host. He has just enough experience and knowledge to clarify some things and ask competent questions, but he's still lacking enough game knowledge to prompt the rest of the panel to expound upon things that they would normally take for granted. That, and he's gelling well with everyone. Panels are smooth, and I'm learning a lot. He's getting everyone to drop frequent tidbits of wisdom. Getting all of these insights into drafting is great.

 

[Qvoth]

empire picked 1st picked es > aa > bat, i'm 100% sure

 

[StrongArmSteady]

I believe Empire can take this 2 0

 

[Drkirby]

You can't play support well if your cores are trash.

These drafts are just flawed though, what is RTZ going to do when the enemy has 3 hard counters to him? He just gets shit on in the mid game, despite a good start. They were never going to break high ground.

Yep. As someone who mostly just watches the International and not the rest of the pro scene he's pretty good at hitting the spot between presumed knowledge and prompting explanations.

 

[neurosisxeno]

They keep winning with Sven. Better not ban Sven.

I got 3 free shirts last year lol.

edit: WW again???? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

 

[neurosisxeno]

WW did nothing everytime we've played it. Better pick WW.

 

[shira]

Arterrorbladeezy

 

[Metroidvania]

WW did nothing everytime we've played it. Better pick WW.

Maybe this time it'll counter the sven, tho!

 

[aeolist]

i think empire has this one too

 

[neurosisxeno]

Maybe this time it'll counter the sven, tho!

Of course! 4th times the charm.

 

[Eleuin]

why does EG have two coaches if they can't even knock some sense into the captain

 

[ScribbleD]

Game 1 wasn't one sided...? What?

 

[NotoriousPUG]

WW did nothing everytime we've played it. Better pick WW.

EG seems to do this every year.

 

[aeolist]

lol @ the "please ban sven" sign

 

[waxinlyrical]

Nightstalker looks naked...?

 

[jediyoshi]

poor night stalker ;_;

 

[ScribbleD]

Zai ;_;
