DAMN LGD.cn got their invite revoked due to their recent roster change and have to qualify now. TongFu took their spot.

And he built Vladimir's. I loves me the shit out of Skadi for him, but Vlad's definitely seems like a better choice early when you're not rolling. More attacks equals more agility equals more attacks (and hence healing).

The mana regen is nice too, i tend to build an Orchid on him but i'm a terrible slark.

So what you are telling me is all KP has to do is secretly sabotage ICCup to get in the Qualifiers?

I am actually a bit surprised Valve doesn't have a problem changing the roster.

So TongFu would be pretty happy right about now but that's a pretty big move right there haha damn

LGD is a great team and I fully expect them to get a qualifier spot or at the very least the Wildcard entry but that's some pressure on the team now, if they don't make it could be pretty embarassing (at least there's still LGD.int if that happens)

I see a good number of bashers/abyssals on slark and that seems to do well, but anything works in the land slightly above trench warfare.
 
LGD.cn is easily the strongest team in the East qualifier now though. Safe bet to expect them to take that spot.

West qualifiers much more likely to be a cluster. Lots of potential for upsets. Mouz probably looking like the strongest there at the moment based of their performance the past few days with Synderen on the team. Depends on how hard EG decides to throw. But I could definitely see 4-5 of those teams muscle their way out on top if the stars aligned.

Kaipi assholes lost me uncommons. If ever see Eternal Envy, I'm going to punch that motherfucker in the face for talking it up like they were badasses and being terrible forever.

Do you think Slark is a good counter vs Naix? 1 vs 1 Slark can hit and run Naix, Slark with a Sheep Stick?
I'd love to see how a Slark with Vlads and a HotD would fare in that situation. Wonder if the Strength from the eventual Satanic would erase the advantage the upgrade offers.

Wait what? Why would you do that.
Vlad's isn't a unique attack modifier, so you can stack 'em together.

And answering my own Satanic question, doesn't seem like it would matter a hell of a lot, Lifestealer would only basically get 33 bonus damage on the first attack.

And hot damn, failed to notice initially that with both Vlad's and Satanic, lifesteal jumps up to 41% for a Slark who goes that route. With all that Agility and Dark Pact in mind, as well as Skadi stacking with lifesteal...

These Liquid v Fnatic games have been so fun to watch haha, the slark pick with constant rotations, fights galore and now this Rapier gyro game. Really awesome, entertaining games.

Also Merlini's commentary after Puck picked off 4v1 *silence* ..."That was not worth the rune" hahaha, so glad to see him doing more commentary.
 
What do you guys think of Queen of Pain?

Someone posted a video before of a player getting a lot of multi-kills with her so I'm interested in trying her out.

She's very strong, but you need to be careful and very calculated in your aggression. You have to be good at estimating how much mana you need for a kill (can I kill this guy and still have mana for blinking out afterwards? do I have enough mana for blink + scream + ultimate? and so on) or you'll be dead very quickly. You can snowball out of control very easily but if you don't have a good start, it's not easy to catch up.

Really, it's probably one of the best heroes if you're solo queuing and want to have game impact, one of the easiest heroes to gank with. And still good on a competitive level.
Shadow strike lvl 1 and right clicks on lane is strong, and scream+ulti in ganks/team fights
