Need to just have Maelk and Bulba do all the commentary from now on, the shit talking they do on the side is just amazing.

Also Maelk asking those hard hitting questions lol.
 
Next.kz gave very little away for free that game, quite punishing.

CLG vs Darer any minute now: http://www.twitch.tv/itsgosu_dota2

Technical issues from the GoSu streamer, he's trying to work it out presently.

Update: Stream still having issues, game hasn't started yet, eSahara vs fnaticRC has started on Purge's stream.
 
Wish I could watch both games simultaneously (especially given the former has a Lion and a Viper picked, two heroes that haven't been played much since Dreamhack), but methinks I'm going to stick with CLG versus Darer. Should be a good and aggressive game!
 
This Lina and Sand King lane could really pay dividends for Darer. SK's getting a significant chunk of his Blink Dagger money, and AM is getting virtual free farm.
 
Damn, Darer. Almost seems like that after their great early game, they didn't fully respect CLG's capability to punish mistakes and less-than-perfect positioning. They had what they needed item-wise and forced the wedge into the smallest of breaches.
 
He's like OD in the sense that if both players are of equal skill, SD will win the lane in a 1v1. SD is somewhat hindered by OD though, as OD's range isn't high enough where the illusions get a ton of hits in, and his int-stealing properties destroy him. If OD gets ulti'd, he can banish himself and iirc it runs the duration of the purge. Invoker doesn't really fare well against SD though. Team fight-wise, it's simply a matter of a stun and focus fire. VS ofc is a good choice b/c of her swap, as well as heroes like Lycan (if u wait for him to disrupt someone else) and CK.

So there's an alternate build of leveling up his cc first? Or do you just put one point and level up the poison like I have been?

I have only been able to play him against bots, which usually just stand there and let you poison them. No idea if I would be able to hit a good opponent with poison.
 
I've only played him once against bots as well, but staying at one level of Disruption in the early game seems optimal. You get the max duration, illusion damage will be pitiful early anyway (given the target won't have many levels or items).

That's what I figure. The mana cost probably goes up with it too. Same reason people keep venomous gale at rank 1, or BH shuri at rank 2.
 
Oh wow, Lina picked. Don't think I've ever seen her in a pro game. And now clockwerk, very interesting picks.

She pretty much hasnt been pick since the international, where she roamed with sven. She's just out shined in the same area by Lion and Rhasta.
