Brood is still good, not sure why she isn't picked/banned anymore. I guess she got nerfed somehow.
if X hero is bad 'cause you can't pubstomp with him, well, it's not. you can pubstomp with every hero.

What?! This was All Pick though and we were just picking things, not with a particular strategy in mind.

Or did you mean the opposite perhaps?

Titan/Mag/Tide combo, Weaver for pickoffs, Shadow Demon for extra control in fights and disrupting the CK/Wisp ganks.

You have very versatile lanes, all of which would work out nicely. You could run an agressive or defensive trilane with weaver/sd + titan or tide, the other going offlane or mid depending on where you send the mag. You could have run dual lanes with something like Weaver/Tide, Mag mid, SD/Titan, all of which would have been strong.

On the other hand their team looks like CK/Wisp + 3 randoms. No matter what one of the lanes is going to be odd; most likely a non-standard mid and dual lanes because there are no good offlaners. Their fights without good spellsteals lack control and leave the jakiro hoping that somebody walks into macropyres by choice.

They don't have much damage outside of the CK/Ursa physical attacks because of the lack of setup for the Jakiro. You have a team that should be able to wipe in any fight as long as you initiate right.

Their team honestly isn't that survivable either, while yours should be really hard to kill; Your team has tons of escape mechanisms and good defensive spells.

Your wombo combo is fucking ridonculous assuming your elder titan isn't total shit.

You could have won as long as you had good teamfights and didn't let that wisp ck catch people out.

The Tidehunter kind of speaks for itself with the scoreboard and his items.. We kept telling him to cover Ravage with Anchor Smash immediately, but he never did it. Rubick stole Ravage every single time it was cast. Meanwhile I would always Skewer or Empower after RP, and he only ended up getting RP twice. How did he get it? On the Blink RP Wisp was tethered to someone and when the RP went off, the tether touched me so I was stunned and couldn't cover it, and it wasn't wide enough to get Rubick in it.

The level 1 Rosh really scared everyone and put them on edge, mostly because it wasn't SK = Ursa. People were getting caught by Wisp + CK, and they always had someone else there too.

If you watch the game though, you could tell it was very much a "tryhard" stack.

So as a complete newbie to DOTA2, I'm watching the AMGD.FD vs RS. And man...whoever at Valve are responsible for how well integrated and interactive DOTA2's UI is...they need a damn raise. This shit is just amazing to me, being able to watch people play a game, while being able to interact with the camera, the mouse overs, everything. Just so swag. Non interactive UIs no longer please me.

Yeah...when I switched to Dota 2 from SC...it was crazy how far behind blizzard is and how innovative Valve is...also you can see Blizz is now trying to copy the Dota 2 UI in HotS.
 
Wow. That was fucking awful from Dreamz. Oh my God. If you do this and you have no TP, you just need to either commit to the base race or go to the enemy fountain and get a TP or BoTs there or something. They just panicked and ran back and lost the game.
 
That QoP gave LGD the upperhand on base though.
