Might have been my Axe masterpiece. Dreams & The Costa Rican slackers. Now, you can look at that score screen and think the usual thing happened here with Spectre just carrying. Fuckin nope. @ 28 minutes: Spectre had Midas + Radiance + Brown boots. Troll had a dom helm and half a BKB. Tusk had just a drum and medallion.

Meanwhile, the enemy TA had MKB + Yasha + Drums + Phasers + 4 levels on Spec and everyone else on their team has about what you'd expect. Blinks, meks, etc.

Ya boi had to carry that shit and carry it he did. Manliest blink calls you ever did see. No fucks given, no quarter shown. Carried until Spec could come finally online (~40 minutes).

Is there a hero in Dota2 more manly than Axe? I think not. Front liner on top of the net worth for the last 10 minutes in a game with an Alchie, Spec, and TA? What a hero.
 
It seems like a big part of why low tier games are so low tier is by bad itemization from a large proportion of the players. When I look through my games on dotabuff it's nearly impossible to find a game where nobody had an exceptionally stupid build, and typically the losing team had atleast 2 players go completely unreasonable item choices (usually supports).

It's strange because most of them don't even seem like "I'm following this guide without applying any consideration to the game I'm in" sort of mistakes, but rather a complete misunderstanding of how items work and how much they cost.

BTS getting yet another exclusivity deal is a bit shit. What happened to letting up and coming casters get a chance?

Oh wait that probably only applied when joindota got the deals.

What are you talking about, our safe lane farming Alchemist that went full points in greed and Midas first having Phase and Maelstorm at the 22 min mark was so good.

I-league picked BTS for season 2 because JD bailed on the season one grand finals and they only wanted one English studio going forward.

It's easy to tell a bad player by their starting item build. Like going to the offlane with a quelling blade, or the ony regen being a tango, or having random components of a wraith band or null talisman on supports.
