AGod on tilt!!!

 

[Divvy]

RTZ playing like trash again

 

[SteveWinwood]

Ee gonna have to carry again

But hes on 0% winrate hero what do

 

[Ketch]

RTZ crumbling?

DK has EG's number, they knew they had to shutdown universe early so his presence in the mid game would be weaker.

 

[M.D]

good god twitch is an absolute fucking piece of shit

 

[KingKong]

EE putting the team on his back

 

[aeolist]

arteezy playing like shit and ee actually carrying?

what the hell is even happening

Didn't that happen last night against Alliance, too?

 

[mfaex]

Hope EG gets some coffee before game 2.

 

[Razzer]

Well unlike vs Alliance where he just threw, DK have been shutting him down through good play, though that imprison earlier was pretty awful.

 

[Divvy]

EE is now the best player on the team. Cloud 9 needs to get rid of these four stand-ins and get their regular line up back

 

[KingKong]

feels like a bad draft to me, pretty obvious DK isnt afraid of lycan on radiant, they let them have wisp + tiny and dont know what bane and nyx have done

Tiny almost turned around that EG pick off with one combo.

 

[kvk1]

Love watching Mushi's Kunkka so much.

 

[Ketch]

lycan meta?

china don't care

 

[Divvy]

Kick Arteezy

Public match's really are the worst. A dazzle on my team wanted to mid against luna. Fastest ive seen a hero level up to 25 (luna).

Mid dazzle can be good. And it's not like mid luna is any better either.

He lost that matchup through skill not hero or laning picks.

Dazzle mid is situationally viable.

 

[Servbot #42]

Man EG is losing right now, i expected better

It's viable if they don't suck. Never called missing, him getting ganked every other minute. Worst player ive seen in a while.

 

[aeolist]

they need to just call this one and go next, playing it out isn't going to help

TONY

 

[Nymerio]

so, dk's pretty good.

 

[Razzer]

DK asserting their dominance. That was 'fuck you imma kill you' strat.

 

[ElyrionX]

Goddamnit, why did I just only find out Starladder finals is this weekend.

 

[Gully State]

Does DK really stand for DOTA Kings?

Does DK really stand for DOTA Kings?

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

DK stands for Donkey Kong.

 

[Quesa]

Does DK really stand for DOTA Kings?

In-game statsman said it was Dire Kings. Not sure what to believe anymore

 

[Pureauthor]

Lycan is 0-5 against DK.

You think the other teams would learn.

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

Lycan on radiant seems plop.

[Servbot #42]

DK basically rekt EG, they shutdown artezey and universe and it worked. Also lycan sucks this tourney just don't pick him.

 

[Lotto]

Dang, first loss for EG. DK with that early aggression line up to punish the Lycan pick.

 

[KingKong]

idk why Merlini said they weren't that outdrafted, seems like a total outdraft to me. Worse early game, mid game and late game AND first picking a lycan radiant when they knew DK won every game against it

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Lycan is 0-5 against DK.

You think the other teams would learn.

I don't think 4 games is enough of a sample size to go: "Oh no let's not pick Lycan guys."

 

[mfaex]

There was a fake facebook claiming it stood for Dota Kings. To be honest I don't know if it stands for anything. Similar to how LGD isn't some easy acronym.

 

[FACE]

I don't think 4 games is enough of a sample size to go: "Oh no let's not pick Lycan guys."

I think if a team goes 4-0 against what's considered the most OP hero in CM you have to at least consider if it's really worth it to pick Lycan against team.

 

[Satch]

Medallion is pretty nice on Bristle too.

i tried this and liked it more than the basi ring


i could kill easier with it

 

[Ketch]

I feel like the current meta (ember, lycan, naga, everybody get midas) is too cheesy for this level of play.

Time for EG to step up there game. They've proven they can do it in the past, they just need to execute now. RTZ needs to start playing like he's not the best player on the amp. He's good, but he's gotta show some respect or they're gonna shit on him.

 

[Demoli]

You are supposed to transition from basi into Medallion, not one or the other. Basi gives you great regen and armour, replacing it at lvl 8 is ideal for optimal mana regen.

 

[Chris R]

Woke up just in time for EG.

Alliance out? SooooGood.gif

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

Centaur could have been good for EG, ulti when rock ball came in.

EG were caught out with the draft, RTZ got bummed in mid and that was it.

 

[Goldmund]

I don't think I've ever seen a team play like this, even the deaths seemed well-accounted for.
