[SteveWinwood]

[shira]

[Fevaweva]

Fnatic on the comback! Xcaliber has finally come into his own.

 

[Zeth]

Does the arena hear the English cast or German?

 

[iamblades]

Zai is like wtf are you talking about cold?

 

[shira]

English

 

[Jex]

These chronos...

 

[Finalow]

team wipe boys

 

[Pratfall]

Fnatic is so bad in these fights. Like none of them are communicating or something.

 

[Radec]

Hann1 should choose his chrono wisely.

OD should be the priority

I missed everything Were the games at least good? from what i read they seemed like stomp.

 

[BigAT]

I get using a Chrono on a solo Lion deep in the top lane because you have Aghs, but the reduced cooldown doesn't count for anything when you use it on a solo Lion at the steps of a T3.

beautiful black hole though

 

[Madouu]

One point fnatic really got better at recently is avoiding smoke ganks.

 

[Fevaweva]

Fnatic really needs some crits man.

 

[Marauder Shields]

BKB?

For all you Trenchbelievers:

Another MMR experiment, this time with (mostly) support in CM/CD. While it's true that he averaged 74% win rate as support and 88.5% as mid, this kind of winrate is probably beyond most sub-4k players' ken so a 14% disparity is nothing special. Now you have no excuses left.

Spoiler

(Who am I kidding, the excuses are endless.)

 

[inkls]

ugh, happy I missed EG vs Na'Vi.

Na'Vi really need to get back in shape.

Also, dam excalibur dat escape

 

[shira]

Zai not having the fish stick makes me sad

 

[Marauder Shields]

What is this.

 

[Radec]

LOL THAT STEP BACK

This is GG.

 

[KingKong]

Fnatic confirmed to be better than NaVi

 

[Jex]

WOW

 

[Marauder Shields]

Tobi's so good for moments like that. Madness.

 

[Acinixys]

Holy shit Fnatic fighting tooth and nail to say in

 

[aeolist]

that draft looked horrible too

ban dire lycan

 

[PhaZZe]

Man, last fight was awesome

 

[Finalow]

great game.

 

[Radec]

Dat jacket won the game.

EG too cold

Tobi shining on these fights as usual.

Is he casting the finals?

 

[eznark]

Pretty amazing job from Tobi there those last.ten minutes.

 

[Jex]

Dire Lycan still op confirmed.

 

[arab]

christ i thought tobiwan was gonna explode during that last fight

 

[Fevaweva]

That last fight was incredible. The Faceless Void manning the fuck up!!

 

[iamblades]

that draft looked horrible too

ban dire lycan

The dire lycan would have less of an issue if it weren't for the fact that EG never defended any of their towers and never even attempted to contest roshan.

They just went double midas and farmed away while giving up all the map control for free. It's way too greedy to play like that, and if Fnatic had proper builds or halfway competent coordination in the midgame they would have been crushed much easier.

If you give up the dire lycan along with a heavy pushing team, you can't compound that by giving away the early game by playing greedily.

 

[xKebob]

go fnatic!

 

[kvk1]

christ i thought tobiwan was gonna explode during that last fight

So good.

I don't know how he does it.

He's unmatched when it comes to casting big drawn out fights.

i don't think they had much of a choice, trixi getting that early mek kickstarted the deathball and eg didn't have enough counterpush to really defend. they had to bank on taking it late.

He's a trained singer/actor, so he should have a giant diaphragm able to talk really fast at a regular pace without having to take big breaths inbetween.

Yes, there are high chances they would have lost the early fights if they took them. Giving away towers might be bad, but losing towers and getting team wiped is even worse. Also, I wouldn't call these teams coordination in teamfights incompetent personally.

 

[eznark]

Who is the old man in the suit?

 

[SteveWinwood]

Who is the old man in the suit?

Redeye.

He's been a host for years on like cs and quake and stuff.

Like for longer than most people playing these games have been alive.

 

[Marauder Shields]

Who is the old man in the suit?

Redeye.

Speaking of him, I wasn't a fan of him when I first saw him on Day 1 but he's grown on me as this tournament has gone along.
