yeah fear's ember was played really well

seems like he excels in the midgame and falls off somewhat later on

 

[Divvy]

The debut was last night mere minutes after the patch.

He won.

Oh I missed that. I should watch that. I love Ember, despite his suckiness

 

[Rootbeer]

Its going for $50 and above on the marketplace.

Sell that biznatch.
You get a bunch of shit if you use it, but if you're not playing much, you don't need it. You can get 2-5 steam games with that kinda money.

Nice... only cost me $9.99... maybe I should hold onto it longer... Hmm

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Not a good showing for Ember Spirit's debut in CM

I think it is. Ember falls off ultra late game where Lifestealer (and Tinker, and Rubick and Visage) play better. Up until late game, Ember was doing incredibly well. Drafts will just have to plan accordingly and try to end the game by mid game.

 

[aeolist]

dendi's been playing amazingly well on that sand king though

 

[Quesa]

Dat courier kill tho?

 

[Artanisix]

and to think, this is only game 1 O_O

 

[aeolist]

roared the courier with the linkens for ember, fucking lol

should have been linkens instead of bkb for him from the beginning

 

[Technosteve]

dendi's been playing amazingly well on that sand king though

sand king is tier 1 hero

 

[KingKong]

should have built 3 battle furies

 

[aeolist]

xboct(12)

 

[Radec]

Holy fuck at that game.

Tinker single handedly carried Liquid.

Poor Xboct, but really, what can an ember do with those disables. lol

 

[F!ReW!Re]

Pffff, that Tinker, BM combo......
Followed up by abyssal, yeah I do wonder how most carries would handle that though...

 

[Artanisix]

should have built 3 battle furies

+1

shoulda went the tried-and-true anbokr travels 3 battlefuries --> lose the game instantly build

 

[kvk1]

xboct(12)

seriously

what was that...

 

[aeolist]

he could have bought linkens before bkb for god's sake

two disables that go through bkb as well as telekinesis and sheep heroes with blink? BKB IT IS!

 

[manfestival]

I know ive seen tinker rise in popularity since arteezy is playing him so much lately. This might just up things once again. Is doom a good tinker counter?

 

[SteveWinwood]

I made a thread for the documentary news thingy.

[Technosteve]

I think Faceless Void + Naga Siren combo counter?

As opposed to having linkens be popped by roar or sheep and then being stunlocked by the other? One of the reasons Tinker / Beastmaster is such a good combo is because it provides answers for both item choices, provided you survive to the point where Tinker can get his blink sheep up.

it at least gives you some kind of chance. going for the teamfight build when the other team goes all-in on surprise global ganks out of the fog isn't the smartest idea.

 

[Radec]

Just ban Tinker, problem solved.

These 2 casters are awful on camera work and won't shut up until their paragraph is finished even if a huge fight or kill had just happened.

Doom counters everybody.

Spoiler

But if you can get Doom on tinker he's fucked yea.

 

[Technosteve]

this line up so old school

 

[sixghost]

How does this ursa only have 10 cs?

dark seer

 

[Anuxinamoon]

$5,000,000 about to be made by dendi and Danidem / Bronto ϟ Thunder

It looks fucken amazing too. I never play pudge but I will buy and wear that set <3

 

[Radec]

Aannndd im wrong and they are getting owned. lol

 

[F!ReW!Re]

The amount of blink dagger pick up in these games....

 

[Acinixys]

Navi playing like shit atm

lol never mind. Puppey manning up like a boss

 

[aeolist]

jesus, these games are insane

always back and forth, really impressed by liquid today

 

[JudgeN]

Aghs lions, lets go!

 

[aeolist]

Aghs lions, lets go!

too bad dark seer's on the other side

 

[Radec]

Dendi becoming like was Xboct last game.

That blink dagger was a bad starter item for him.

 

[1.09]

blink dagger is so ownage right now

 

[KingKong]

too bad dark seer's on the other side

time for Rubick to steal finger and teamwipe them

 

[aeolist]

kuroky has to get aghs first

 

[Sibylus]

BKB before Aegis drop is a pretty big mistake, ack.

 

[allgamespc]

lol, you give Xvost his signature hero and you lose the game.

 

[aeolist]

man that rosh fight really sealed it for them

sure they take him fast but they had no vision against dark seer and enigma with blink

 

[FACE]

kuroky has to get aghs first

Just did.

 

[LiQuid!]

I fucking hate Daily Motion so much.

 

[Radec]

Game 3!

Games are awesome.

 

[Sibylus]

Seemed like TL waaaay over-relied on magic immunity to make up for mistakes in positioning in game 2. Good position, Abyssal active, good counter-initiation... gg go game three.

 

[Pratfall]

They are using Daily Motion today? Why the switch from MLG? What is DotaCinema doing? They have made it as difficult as possible to watch this thing outside the client. Push them ticket sales.

This wasn't the Dotacinema tournament

 

[Sibylus]

D2CL isn't the DotaCinema CD tourney. Different sponsors altogether, and it's CM format.

 

[F!ReW!Re]

Heh I actually got an item drop during that last game;

 

[Radec]

Thank god the daily motion app works on live streams.

 

[Divvy]

Heh I actually got an item drop during that last game;

Did he steal that tiara from Crystal Maiden?
