woah fear puck? dont remember seeing that before

 

[Anbokr]

a month in and this meta feels stale already

maybe because it's not that different from 6.81

wat

eg's pretty much the only team that plays a "6.81 style" so any series with them will look like that, but the hundreds of other games have been pretty damn different

 

[Razzer]

lmao no stun line up by EG. I'm out.

A lot of pressure on Fear to keep Timber shutdown.

 

[Satch]

congrats Secret

PPD stop this drafting madness p l e a s e

 

[Ultimatum]

just got back home

what have the finals been like

It's a grand final BO5, the two teams will always pick and ban the same heroes, no risks will be taken. This one isn't even that bad, like 15 different heroes were picked during TI3 grand final.

 

[NormalFish]

So I just played a clinkz game. First hero I've played where all but 1 of the items I'd want to get on the hero is actually in the suggested item list. Ended up building deso instead of skadi but otherwise I built almost exactly the suggested.

 

[Monochromaticx]

The technical issues are inexcusable
They had the same issue everyday, at least double check for the damn grand final

Better than it happening to the players at least

 

[LiQuid!]

I wish S4 was still on Alliance.

 

[Razzer]

Very good phase shift orb from Fear.

WAOOOW etc etc

 

[Monochromaticx]

I had no idea!

Secret really doesn't like doing rosh. Rtz lycan is too good.

 

[bbd23]

ROFL S4

 

[Shorty11857]

That was questionable from S4

 

[NaDannMaGoGo]

Merlini questions Aghs on puck > "wow how long does that last, that looked ridiculous"

Yeh..., no shit Merlini

 

[Randdalf]

Fear Aghanims on Puck :O

 

[aeolist]

dang those howl buffed familiars

 

[evlcookie]

Ban lycan next game and win. Gyro was a lame choice.

 

[Monochromaticx]

maaaaaan I need to sleep

[monocromo]

What did I lose in the last few days ? I have seen only 2 or 3 games from this lan finals and Necro was banned at least in 2 of them. Whats up with the Necro love ?

 

[close to the edge]

EG play such boring Dota. I enjoyed watching Fear's Puck (and zai's Visage) but their overall gameplan is boring.

 

[M.D]

fly and s4 played terrible terrible, exact opposite of last match
ogre useless pick again
kuro non factor in all 3 games

They been doing the same shit since before TI4, boring pos of a team.

 

[G.ZZZ]

Kuro on carry has always been super amazing when ahead, but struggled a lot against real teams. Many hopes were crushed during Ks.Int days

I mean, I appreciate their skill and quality of execution, but ugh.. it's just the same shit every match. Pick any two from the following cores DP/Lycan/Tide/Razor/Viper/Weaver/THD/Void, a support/semicarry for Zai and a 6 position for PPD. Then push every tower, get aegis and win (or not)

edit: And there's the Tide/Lycan. Bleh.

 

[Jex]

Hey, they didn't ban the Lycan or Grab the Tide. Secret will regret this when they watch the replays of their (defeat) in this final match and realise that the scouting from the Lycan wolves destroys Secret's early game.

Also, Kuro has done literally nothing in three games. His weaknesses are being exposed pretty heavily here.

 

[Atlantis]

[M.D]

Not banning lycan yet not playing around him or picking against him either

gg

 

[Pratfall]

I would enjoy seeing what happened to the meta if Razor, DP, Brew and Lycan were nuked from orbit.

 

[Razzer]

Simbaaaaa gonna be so sad this game. WD with Howl gonna zone him so hard.

 

[Anbokr]

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING SECRET

 

[evlcookie]

They got lycan again? G fucking g. Puppey lost his mind.

 

[Jex]

Not banning Lycan is the greediest thing ever. He's wrecked them every time.

Isn't that the point of the game? I don't think the problem is EG, it's just that gank heavy comps haven't been good since before 6.81. Heavy tower pushing and/or ratting wins almost every game. You can't fault a team for executing what works.

 

[KingKong]

Lycan on radiant isnt as bad but I dont know if its worth banning jakiro over him. And woo, nyx

 

[JustinBB7]

What's silly Theeban doing behind secret anyway, I thought I saw him looking at EG's screen earlier too lol.

Secret's coach.

 

[M.D]

if EG gets a good start that dusa will not finish any major item before they gg out

That first game really cost them

 

[JawesomeJaw]

Mirrored ward placement, the Illuminati is real.

 

[Razzer]

Yeah Doom is well and truly fucked. Gonna be a long time before level 6.

 

[Ultrabum]

Is howl the best spell in the game?

 

[kvk1]

lol peter is such a dickhead
