can we get a templar assassin announcer. her voice work is so good

That's a funny way to spell Puck

Liquid has Invoker, Lycan and Batrider, but they're still losing.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

I think Liquid might be gone "omg they haven't banned Invoker, Lycan and bat let's get them all" not thinking about whether or not they fit into the game.

I think I've seen that before, don't remember where.

 

[Razzer]

The real reason is none of those heroes are much stronger than others, they are just trendy to be banned.

I really like this Ayesee + Fear combo in the finals.

BTS stream is delayed ~5 mins.

My commons in jeopardy. Liquid pls.

 

[Hupsel]

Mirana stronger than batrider, lycan and invoker combined confirmed

 

[Train of Midnight]

lol liquid. Their picks weren't terrible, it was just their plays.

 

[Razzer]

Draft synergy and lane choices op.

Are they the ones casting? I watched ingame so I can't tell but that was a pretty good cast. GG NAR takes game 1.

 

[Anbokr]

Nevermind, dire side Lycan it is.

nar ain't even scared of dat shit

didn't even give a shit--take bat, sk, lycan, and invoker doesn't matter, 6.81 dota no autowin heroes except mirana icefraud plz 120s CD 400 manacost on arrow

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

NAR's actually drafted a team instead of random tier 1 heroes, Liquid's drafting has been regularly suspect.

 

[FACE]

Also, why go safe lane quas wex Invoker with a midas?

I voted for dis. Thank me.

Notail and Pie giving good anaylsis on the couch stream. Liquid's draft could have worked although it was weak, but they put Invoker top as Quas Wex and Lycan mid. This meant that they couldn't get kills and it allowed DK to win mid, which he wouldn't have done vs Invoker. And if he went exort then all they needed was SD roaming to get kills with sunstrike. But as it was they had no way to stop the push, and they let disruptor get levels so he could abuse glimpse. Additionally, they had the SK and Bat blinks delayed by sharing jungle and pressure, so Tide could control fights.

 

[Anbokr]

Think they wanted to dodge the tide vs lycan matchup

Tide is so insane good this patch, he completely destroys melee carries with anchor smash and really messes with their farm--trilane or not. Anchor smash even goes through BKB so late game he is still screwing your shit; you just gotta pick a ranged carry against that fucker.

 

[Marauder Shields]

I love this panel of Syderen + Fear + Merlini

 

[Divvy]

Couch stream redeemed

 

[Train of Midnight]

Lol, so has NAR never lost to Liquid? At least in this patch?

Why can't I hold all this Singu!

What I really wanted to write was: "Why go Quas Wex + midas on a safe lane Invoker?" English is hard.

 

[evilpigking]

Do we have a (or multiple) fantasy leagues going for compend? Need those ez points.

 

[Train of Midnight]

lol morphling. gg liquid

lol morphling. gg liquid

Last time they got Morphling on the second pick against NAR this happened: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmKEc8Vmduc

 

[Anbokr]

na qualifiers = fall of lycan and invoker, the end of an era, RIP

I'm really shocked more of these NA teams don't experiment with ember a bit, China still values him as a first pick and I think he's still really strong with the flameguard build.

Did the EU stream's cat just have kittens? I see nursing kittens.

Who even drafts for Liquid now that Fluff is gone? Is it TC?

 

[evilpigking]

It was qojqva for awhile, but looks like TC is captain atm. That doesn't mean he is in charge of the draft though. He could just be picking what someone else says.

BTS stream is delayed ~5 mins.

I said before that Ayesee is perfectly fine when he has a decent pro co caster to do the more in depth analysis while Ayesee focuses on calling play by play and generally just keeping the cast flowing.

Fear is probably the best pro I've heard at co-casting as well, a lot of pros seem really uncomfortable just saying what they think and are either too quiet or they don't contribute anything aside from silly in jokes..

 

[Granadier]

Yeah. BTS1 has SyndereN, Merlini, Fear, and Ayesee right now, but Ayesee and Fear are the ones casting the finals.

I voted for dis. Thank me.

thanks Bo!

Fear, Synderyn, Merlini are the only high tier "pros" i like

Korok's Storm Spirit was amazing last time I saw it, hoping for a repeat here.

Check for linked streams if you need to watch outside of Dota TV.

Looks like server problems?
