Tbf Timber was last pick for Navi iirc (although that was before the Undying pick). Probably should have banned it out though.

sven has creeped up into my flavor of the month status. I feel like only playing sven games at the moment. I feel like I will also never get another win playing dragon knight, which sucks cause I got the crest of the wyrm lord shield or whatever it is and ashtongue 
Timber was last pick yo
One of his skills drops strength I think.
Whirling Death is a 15% reduction in the hero's primary stat. -15% strength is a ton of flat HP off the top. Not to mention that a lot of his damage is pure.
chop chop chop
Timbersaw's whirling blades annihilates 15% of your enemy's main stat. In the case of strength heroes, this chop chop chops their strength away, massively reducing their max health for a duration.
Whirling Death causes heroes to lose 15% of their primary attribute. This is especially good against strength heroes because it means their max health decreases, whereas with Agility heroes and Intelligence heroes it reduces their armour and mana pool respectively (as well as damage, of course).
His animation is really good too

holy cow, I never knew that(I really need to start reading what abilities do) and I learned yesterday that centaurs ult does damage if you run through your enemies.
Good example that you don't need to nerf someone to the ground just because they are flavor of the month. A year ago people were crying foul saying he was OP.
Also, screw EG vs Cloud9 round 2, Cloud9 vs Empire is where the real hype is at. The Fan Favorites vs The Sleeping Giant.
edit: Empire picked Lycan, GG no re.
It could be, but Envy does like his (awful) carry storm.

Good start for C9 but they've gotten wrecked in the last 2 team-fights.
Empire have been really good this year right?

He is. Actually pretty muh everyone on Empire has been recently and they don't seem to get too much love. Vanskor seems to be the only one I hear about as being one of the "best in the west" the of status. Resolution seems maybe the most underrated mid out there.

Empire so good.
Indeed.
Its 3 45% damage dealt 200% damage taken illusions, with radiance and riptide on top which will clear the PL illusions fairly easily. Imo, at worst they come up even.
Depends on context. Me and 1.09 tested this out many many times in a private lobby with every conceivable item build. In a straight up 1v1 with max items, Naga wins. I was a believer after that.
So, you just need to manipulate clashes so that you can isolate him and oh wait that's exactly what you do against PL!

Holy shit dat Elder Titan. 3 shotted the Lycan.
a) shouldn't you use bots, since that's a build you're more likely to use in pubs?
b) did you guys switch heroes?
