Aside from EE shenanigans, that was a pretty clean game from secret.

 

[Monochromaticx]

EE was playing perfectly all game, except for that silly dive that didn't change anything

 

[shira]

MLG's been on a downslide for like 5 years now

I mean, it's good on them to keep trying and it's never a bad thing for games to get events, but it's been obvious for a couple of years now that developer-sponsored leagues and events are going to be the future, and not whatever NFL-lite idea MLG was built around. Having worse production than a BTS or GD studio stream isn't helping either, though.

Looks like yahoo got scared

[Gentle Rodriguez]

EE's having a very bad game, very bad decision making.

 

[Monochromaticx]

why have blitz become so dull lately in his casting? he just sounds monotonic and bored

 

[Baha]

Misery is going to carry this isn't he?

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Misery is going to carry this isn't he?

Not if he refuses to get any tank items.

Envy is so sad

 

[Radec]

fEEd more!

 

[Baha]

I think this game is over, monkey has the items to end this now.

 

[kvk1]

what was that courier feed

 

[Acinixys]

That bash tho

17%

 

[call_kotaku]

more rng than hearthstone

esports and tumblr together under one roof would've been amazing, though

 

[M.D]

i'm so salty if secret gets to the finals

what kind of format is this shit? being rewarded for beating the second worst team in the tournament twice, while the team that won 2 against way better opponents gets kicked out for losing one Bo3

 

[Ikuu]

It's group stage with single elimination, I don't see the issue. Monkey Business have been given the 'weaker' team so that is their advantage.

 

[DrPizza]

Basically any outcome is acceptable to me, as long as EG don't win.

 

[Captain Fish]

I would like either TS or MB to take it in that order. I would really like it if TS won, but I feel like MB stands a better chance of winning the final with some of the volatility on the Secret squad.

Agree with this. Would be cool to see n0tail win a LAN.

 

[KingKong]

nahaz really needs to shut the hell up

 

[Monochromaticx]

necro into a dazzle ....hmm

 

[Baha]

WK carry eh? This looks like an Alliance draft.

 

[DrPizza]

I'm not sure if EE can handle Wraith King's high skill cap.

 

[MurkyZebra2417]

EE on WK, this won't end well. He would have died 10 times more without the escapes from Ember the last two games.

He is too often out of position for a carry like WK imho.

 

[Red UFO]

I wanna watch whatever the audience is watching.
EDIT: SF deny giving 15 souls lol

 

[t0rment]

wtf is wrong with this audio

 

[ksan]

w33haaa-god lmao

 

[Baha]

That deny!

 

[Monochromaticx]

ROLF EZ SOULS

 

[Captain Fish]

I'm not sure if EE can handle Wraith King's high skill cap.

Yeah, it'll be hard to figure out how to feed twice.

 

[SilentRacoon]

The camera work for this game is awful, jesus christ you don't even know what is happening in these fights half of the time.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

He is never hyped

[M.D]

It's group stage with single elimination, I don't see the issue. Monkey Business have been given the 'weaker' team so that is their advantage.

The groups were uneven to begin with two of the worst teams by quite a margin being in group B, and secret got to play MVP as their first series as well as the series that kept kept them alive and sent them to the semi-finals.

I'm also not sure how you can judge secret being the weaker team than current EG

 

[DrPizza]

Reincarnation is stronger than fEEd.

 

[Baha]

Shitty brackets aside, I honestly expected Monkey Business to 2-0 Secret.

 

[Red UFO]

I hope we get a Secret vs. EG final.

 

[Anbokr]

PLS EG beat CDEC, we need a secret vs. EG grand final, artour babaevsky vs. jacky lmao the dream.

 

[JawesomeJaw]

PLS EG beat CDEC, we need a secret vs. EG grand final, artour babaevsky vs. jacky lmao the dream.

Truly anime.

 

[Captain Fish]

BenQ best plays have a random start time, I guess. 2 extra minutes of farming before the play? Missing a key SF reaction? Never know what you're gonna get with BenQ!

 

[SilentRacoon]

No dedicated observers.

There was an instance in a rosh fight were the camera was bouncing all over the place, not focusing on anything, didn't even see how the 10% hp slardar escaped W33 there.

Looks like EE WK did what he failed to do in game 2, the secret draft was spot on, but the necro pick into the dazzle hurt MB much more.
