I'm expecting IG to beat Navi unless they sort their shit out.

They have both beaten each other this tournament, so this match could be interesting at least.

I almost give Navi the slight edge since they lost in the last game to them. Who knows though; maybe Chuan will actually ban out heroes they play! /Kappa

Wait, is Chuan drafting for iG these days? I can't remember. =/

 

[Quesa]

When's EG vs DK?

 

[Trasher]

When's EG vs DK?

After this next Bo1 between Navi/iG. They end the day with the Bo3 between EG/DK.

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

When's EG vs DK?

Later today. I don't know the exact time though.

Sad to see Alliance go like this

This is definitely not their patch. They seem lost without the classic Bulldog heroes that were so good during 6.78.

 

[Nymerio]

Yeah, though he has increased his hero pool they're just not on the same level as they were previously. They're still my favourite team though, and after the game they played against EG yesterday I can't not like them.

Actually, I think it was Kpoptosis who said Bulldog has played 12 unique heroes every patch except for this one. He's played 11 so far. Needs that extra hero!

I'm curious as to what that number is for most players. Not sure if that's high or low tbh. Seems low though if I were to guess, but maybe not if you mainly play in the offlane solo role.

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

It's not just the hero pool that's the issue, it's what that hero does.

Bulldog, when Alliance were dominating, either had the most or 2nd most farm on Alliance.

When he plays something else, they don't have someone picking up that slack.

That's the thing though. He doesn't seem to have a hero in this patch where he can do that. 4 protect 1 just seems to really struggle right now. LD, and even NP to an extent, used to be so good in picking up the slack for their team if Loda was struggling early on.

Oh man, here we go.

Come on lads, give us another epic comeback run.

 

[Quesa]

Raise your samas EE's talkin to Sheever

 

[Snowdrift]

Has Bulldog played Lycan this patch. Seems like a naturally fit to me.

 

[Razzer]

I think what set apart Bulldog from other offlaners at the time was also how good he was at disrupting the enemy. He played LD, NP and Bounty and he used them to block pull camps, give the supports an awful time in general whilst still finding farm. With the changes to the offlane and the pull camp it's easier to find experience and gold and less important to disrupt passive supports, so what Bulldog had other over people isn't as important anymore. It won Alliance so many games because of how efficient Akke and EGM were in comparison to any other team because of Bulldog.

EE must be in heaven playing with EG based on this interview lol.

 

[Quesa]

"Do you think you've learned anything from playing with EG?"

"No, I think they're learning more from me honestly."

HumblEE

 

[Artanisix]

sheever is so pleasant to listen to n_n

 

[kvk1]

I can't tell if EE has super dry wit, or just no concept of filter.

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

The latter.

 

[Anuxinamoon]

I'm so rootn for NaVi in this matchup, as much as I love chuan. NaVi is muh second fave team mang!

 

[Ultimatum]

LOL envy listens to Crumbling on repeat during these LAN games

 

[Razzer]

The fusion would be ArtEEzy of course.

 

[Anuxinamoon]

Vanskor wants an Anuxi Vengeful Spirit set.

Man I need to buy vanskor a drink at the next lan I see him at. He showed the world how Dazzurrrl should be played.

 

[kvk1]

Naga/Lycan banned.

Thank god.

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

My favourite players right now:

1. Me
2. Vanskor
3. Ars Art
4. Iceiceice
5. Funn1k

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

Predictions? Who is going to win?

 

[FACE]

Na'Vi(got it right this time) x IG has started: http://www.twitch.tv/dotastarladder_en

Predictions? Who is going to win?

I'm thinking iG will win this, Na'Vi has looked meh at best on this LAN. I'm a scrub though, so I'll probably be completely wrong and Na'Vi will stomp.

 

[Razzer]

It's very even, I can't make a guess with any great confidence. That said, I'll go with IG for now.

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

Get hype!

 

[shira]

Cmon Pudge/Meepo/Tinker
do eeet puppu

 

[Trasher]

I have a feeling NaVi will lose even though I give them a slight edge going into this match. TI3 champs and runner ups are looking rough.

This is classic NaVi though. They love playing do or dies.

 

[Finalow]

I have faith in SingSing_430.

uh oh

 

[shira]

First blood!

 

[Guru-Guru]

Shopped Chuan images never get old.

 

[Kreunt]

hoping na'vi win, really think they got out drafted though.

 

[kvk1]

Welp.

 

[Shorty11857]

If Na'vi lose this game, that's 3 European teams in the bottom four, pretty surprising result

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

Could we have Sheever casting instead of LD? No offence.

 

[Razzer]

Pay attention LD

 

[Anuxinamoon]

LD plz pay attention xD

 

[Nymerio]

[Reynx]
