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

How about "oh no let's not pick Lycan against DK guys"?

 

[KLonso]

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).

I'd really much rather have a mid dazzle on my team than a mid luna.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Step by step guide in how to dismantle eg. Spend the first few minutes shitty on universe ensuring he can't do anything mid game, counter pick rtz so he can't get ahead in those early minutes with the knowledge he's not getting ganked, then rotate and shit on rtz so he never gets up as the mid carry.

It didn't matter what ee did his team had already lost for him.

Why rtz still got midas that late instead of transitioning into something better for mid I won't understand.

Arteezy had a hard beginning at MLG too. I hope he get his confidence back. I want to see good games.

 

[Servbot #42]

umm guys what happens with the loser of the BO3? they get eliminated or they go to the losers bracket?

 

[Ketch]

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.

I've recently fallen in love with basi, but I've never bought a medallion before ever... what heros is it good on, why would you buy it over a different item? I've been trying a lane support wraith king lately, and I usually go basi into vlads (if my carry is melee)... do you think medallion could replace basi if I'm not going vlads?

 

[Kard8p3]

DK got Lycan to show them how it's done.

they go to loser's finals

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

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.

Fair enough, I still don't think a team having a 4-0 record vs a hero means you should never pick it, EG probably thought they could make it work. They were wrong.

How about "oh no let's not pick Lycan against DK guys"?

Still no.

Who plays NP on EG?

Medallion is good when you need some cheap armor/mana early, you will be ganking, take rosh early, or you do some physical damage. It's good on bristle because of all those reasons.

You'll usually see it on visage or lycan. If you wanna have fun you can do it on dazzle or slardar but it's an uncommon pickup for them.

Make sure to actually use it. Lots of people get it and just sit on it while the active is super good.

 

[ElyrionX]

Will EG go to LB final if they lose or are they out?

 

[mfaex]

LB final

 

[Hung_real]

Will EG go to LB final if they lose or are they out?

LB final against IG or Empire

 

[aeolist]

Ye, gotta use it to farm.

 

[shira]

kotl? wtf

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Taking the greed meta to a new level.

 

[Ketch]

What is this draft?

If ember get's big his SoF is gonna be a real problem.

 

[K.Sabot]

ah yes the no stuns draft

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Neither side has a reliable stun, unless you count Malefice.

I have no idea what to think about these lineups.

they have two entangles, malefice, and black hole

 

[Ketch]

two heroes I wish I was good at: lone druid and NP

 

[Nymerio]

omg that first blood O_O

 

[ElyrionX]

Holy shit. And DK's laning is really strange.

 

[Razzer]

They did still get it just about, could have gone worse.

 

[Finalow]

rtz isn't drunk anymore boys, this time he's gonna rape with ember as usual.

Easy, Teleport + Dagon.

 

[Acinixys]

kotl? wtf

Lets Lycan spam wolves I guess

 

[Omotesando]

Dat Morphling bully. Give me your farm moneyz.

 

[Demoli]

I don't usually play Skeelton king, so I can't tell how effective it is. Maybe Blink is abetter first item? I could see basi into medallion work tbh.

And that Puck vs Sylla lane is deceptively annoying. Puck has insane burst, the window of opportunity will be at level 5 , and even then puck needs to be careful of roots.

As I type this puck solos him.

 

[Finalow]

ee vs Mushi lol, it's not fair. come on, give ee some babysitters.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Lone Druid dying 1v1 versus Puck...

 

[Satch]

i bought the ticket for this and omg it is so much better to watch this way than on twitch


i do miss the twitch chat though

 

[Adry9]

Missed the first game between EG and DK. How was it?

 

[KingKong]

Now it's Envy's turn to feed

 

[Ketch]

What happens if you eblade ember? he can still remnant... can he SoF?

 

[Demoli]

wtf, envy staying in Druid farm against an enemy level 7+ puck? Jesus christ.

 

[Pureauthor]

EG got stomped.

 

[Drkirby]

My god these teams are so mobile its crazy.

 

[SteveWinwood]

I don't think I've seen a ld perform well this entire patch.

 

[Adry9]

EG got stomped.

As expected then. Thanks.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

rekt

 

[kvk1]

I for one welcome our new Chinese overlords.

 

[Technosteve]

[Semblance]

[Chris R]
