I'm glad they decided on this. Seems pretty apparent they need a bit of a break.

They'd probably have an easier time paying if Valve sorted their shit together and started paying the tournaments their share of tickets

Does Tidebringer apply any orbs onto enemies? I'm wondering if you can -armor a bunch of enemies with Deso or slow a bunch with Skadi or etc.
its cleave, it ignore armor.

I remembered that just as I posted but I was more curious about the interaction with OoV/Skadi.
You'll use any opportunity to demonstrate your nastiness, huh? You are a nasty person.
I believe his on hit effects, other than criticals, only apply to the primary target or they did. So for example on a Deso the armor debuff applies to the target you actually hit but not to any ancillary targets.

Thanks. It makes sense it works that way but I wanted to slow 20 people at once. Oh well.

Funnily enough I used to really like GP when I played League. I dunno what happened to him post Atmogs meta.
Also I like Ember but I've never really bought Skadi on him. I guess it's a good HP item if you don't need BKB.
BUT THE CRITS
Plus there's nothing quite so satisfying as wrecking someone with a torrent into boat combo

I'm enjoying imagining what that chat was about lol.

I wanted to tell brood (and their entire team, really), not to clump together because of Sleight. Brood would do these huge ass pushes against our towers, sitting right in the middle of 20 spiderlings + Necrobook, so our Amber would one shot her. And she kept doing it again and again.
The rest of their team thought this was an extremely great time to spam Mantas and wound up compounding the cleave.

rat dota never dies.
We got two of their raxes before void got too fat to handle. They kill me and win a team fight bot. Lycan/satch buysback and we both tp top and rush their naked ancient. Its too late for lgd, alliance are doing it.

How many choices does Leshrac have? If I'm going core Lesh I tend to go Bloodstone > tank items but Eul's is very good on him and Aghs is apparently good too.

All the choices. One of the number of heroes that can build basically whatever they want as long as it isn't like... straight damage items.
Atos>Shivas is pretty good on core lesh.
i had to make sure to gif this failed bait so that we never forget his sacrifice in the name of science

http://www.twitch.tv/dotastarladder_en/c/5657481 for anyone that wants to watch it.
I just did and EE...smh. Took him 103 minutes to decide abyssal was a good idea...then didn't get AC until 110 minutes. And of course he never bought a heart.
Translation: vs a bigass AM, he sits on 12 armor for 110 game minutes. He had no offensive item progression for 43 minutes (from MKB --> basher), and he didn't finish abyssal for another 15 minutes. I suppose it was by design: he wanted (or was told) to go maximum rat so he did. But then they threw by diving and doing arrogant shit and let VP back into the game, at which point VP's superior fighting itemization (specifically AM who was 6-slotted from 45 minutes or so on) and team fight ultimates were too much for a Lycan who itemized that way. Additionally, Lycan/EE really did have all the time in the world to get up better items. 3 lanes and 2 jungles were his to farm as he pleased. Instead he tried to play like Nature's Prophet and sit in trees with his blink dagger hoping to backdoor.
If he buys abyssal and AC in a normal amount of game time (under 60 minutes and not an hour and a half into a game), maybe they have the lockdown to simply kill AM who was the only hero who could stop them. Also, it seems to me that going full rat has to be a team decision. If it was, I don't really understand why the whole team didn't commit to the strategy. They seemed to hedge their bets: Mirana going full damage build and Lycan going Nature's Prophet-lite. Sold the only necrobook 45 minutes into the game. No urn, no mek, no pipe to help siege and break VP's spirit.
Arrogance and itemization lost EE the game. Not a big deal because it's just group stages for that tournament, but that's not a game you should lose. This is 6.82. It's interesting to see teams still play arrogantly and feed kills as if they still don't realize the comebacks are going to be a thing if you keep doing it.
Game MVP: Vengeful Spirit.
Runner's up: AM and Jakiro.

lmao! godbless
game too hard.
in taking a second look at the dotabuff for that match, MoM is probably just not a good item to have. They have waaaay too much burst and cc for you to ever feel safe with MoM. In a match like that, I'd think you want to just get a blink along with the rest of your defensive and offensive items. Wait for the Warlock and LC initiations, then go ham. Sven can't do shit if he has to walk up to the team fights against all that.
for the record, that Linda is the great Miranda Picker Booty Patrol
and he says thank you for complimenting him for once since you always say he under performs when i post our matches together in here (he changes his name so much so you dont ever realize he's the same person).

I don't recall ever saying he underperformed. And tell him to stop changing his name. We can't expect to be able to keep up!
Thats why i use steam nicknames.
