Heroes which I know how to counter:

or not:


Strangely, Doom appears to be my nemesis.

And finally, heroes which I have never played with:

There are (a few) other stats, but I am not going to clutter the thread with them.

You never played AA?

 

[Wok]

You never played AA?

I am going to try soon.

 

[Marauder Shields]

Always enjoy watching aggro tri Axe.

 

[BoosterDuck]

I am going to try soon.

Soon better come quick because there's nothing more satisfying than popping an ice blast on three enemies in the middle of a team fight.

 

[Trasher]

Almost took a tier 3 at 5 minutes lololol

 

[dishwasherlove]

Played a 37 minute game where our mid Invoker ended with a cs of 18. Sure he was up against Kunnka's tidebringer but c'mon man!

MVP improving scarily quickly, despite there being evident lack of finish.

 

[Usobuko]

How does the tiebreaker works for SL? I just watch this tournament. Assuming if both iG and NaVi win and everyone is tied at 6 points in group B.

Or sniping someone that managed to get away.

DK just has lycan figured out man, they bait/force every team to first pick it and then just pick a hella strong aggro tri that shits all over him. Similar to how EG handles him but taking it to the next level.

Out of curiosity why is jungle Lycan not seen as being viable anymore?

Or sniping the Ursa/Lycan who's trying to sneak a solo rosh

Because he's a free kill to any roaming supports. No escape, always at 10-50% hp, and relatively slow for the first few levels. It works in pubs because people don't usually care to gank, and even if they do, chances are they'll fuck it up and you can just call in your team for a couple free kills and an xp boost.

Competitive is a different beast and you'll never get away with a free jungle (smoked supports will chain gank the lycan and put him down enough so the mid can come in at 6+ to get in on some of dat free gold/xp as the lycan languishes at a level 4-5 deadzone), and by jungling Lycan you're already gimping your lanes and the Lycan is just a giant beacon screaming "GANK MEEEEEEEEEEEEE." Not to mention jungle lycan can't do howl level 1 or at all in the first few levels, and so his team loses out on some huge utility. Lycan is really strong right now because of that level 1 howl and its kill power in trilanes.

Kpoptosis & Sheever.

Now this is a makeout session I can ship.

Yeah that's a fair point. One well placed observer ward would be enough to mess him up. Ty for the info.

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

[Marauder Shields]

GG Rox Kis. Nice to see them get a win after their tough start to the LAN.

 

[Radec]

This is GG.

 

[Nymerio]

This is something that never gets old.

wow rox.kis

 

[Madouu]

gg Rox KIS, tense game!

 

[Wes]

One of the best games I've managed to catch live recently. The first Rosh fight, will they - wont they, which lasted about 6 minutes was fantastic.

 

[Anuxinamoon]

I'm sad but wow what a game

 

[Lotto]

Wow, I kinda counted RoX.Kis out of this LAN. Pretty surprised to see them take this game off of Na'Vi. GG, well played from them.

 

[pieatorium]

rox just got too tanky for ember i think, his damage comes in waves and going for mjollnir over crit or bfury only worked up untill the bkb's pipe heart etc came up

 

[Radec]

Group B

1. Evil Geniuses 2-0
2. Invictus Gaming 1-1
3. Natus Vincere 1-2
3. RoX 1-2

Go for the 3-way tie!
