Holy shit that jugg ulti

That lion juke

:O

 

[Madouu]

sigh come on casters, super silent during fogged absolutely huge earth spike that pretty much saved the fight for FIRE and then they get all hyped up shouting their lungs out when jugg comes in and presses R.

 

[Monochromaticx]

zyori + kotlguy combo is not very good :/
They need to cocast with LD, Godz,Merlini

Actually, it's sorta nice that the big teams didn't go to starladder, because the CIS teams and the tier 2 teams like Fire and Na'Vi are getting really good exposure

lmao

 

[Madouu]

ixmike played well, initiating on the right target at the right times is a skill very undervalued but MVP of both matches would have to go to TC in my opinion. Also, Hylian I recommend that you watch how fogged plays lion from his perspective, I'm sure you will learn one thing or two and realize how strong support can be.

ice cold.

Spoiler

but true

 

[Sigismundo]

So who, exactly, is a Tier 1/2 team these days? I'm assuming anyone lower doesn't play in major LAN/online tourneys at all.

T1: VP, VPP, EG, C9, Secret

T2: Everyone else

even EG and C9 and Secret might be shit after these stupid roster changes

Someone forgot eastern teams.

 

[Madouu]

QO show episode 2?

 

[abunai]

QO going man mode

 

[Madouu]

They had t2s up bot and mid, maybe they should've pushed top instead.

This MVP vs PR has some of the longest team fights I have seen in quite a while. Crazy stuff.

PA doesn't do enough damage I think with that build.

[call_kotaku]

this game feels like one of my pubs. You get a massive carry with a huge lead but somehow you just can't manage to get the win no matter how hard you fight

 

[Madouu]

Well that was a fun game. gg MVP.

 

[Monochromaticx]

Someone forgot eastern teams.

T1: VG IG LGD CEDC BigGod newbee, EHOME
T2: DK, SPG, HGT, TongFu, IMG

SEA teams...hmm..I don't follow that scene but
T1: MVP,First Departure, RAVE, Team KS(?)..
T2 everyone else

*I think the gap between T1 and T2 in china is smaller than in the west. and tier 1 SEA is like tier 2 china.

 

[Falk]

and tier 1 SEA is like tier 2 china.

T2 China poaches T1 SEA players. :V

 

[call_kotaku]

NA Teams:

Tier 1(.5): EG
Tier 2:
Tier 3:
Tier 4: Fire
Tier 5: Everyone else

I'm already sick of the juggernaut meta

This might be the most farmed warlock I've ever seen at 7 minutes.

 

[ksan]

drunk loser bracket russians?

[SteveWinwood]

Warlock doto

DAC is not going to be pretty for the CIS teams

my first win on a female character.

If you've never seen MVP run Warlock...yep. That's how farmed they always get their Warlock.

not sometimes. every time.

 

[abunai]

I'm expecting to see some TI2 level chinese dominance at DAC ;(

 

[inkls]

I wonder if the pace at which valve breaks down hero models will go faster after they finish moving dota 2 to source 2


I need some sets for undying, troll warlord, zeus, etc.

TI4 was already pretty dominant

all 5 teams in top 8, 3 of top 4 including the two finalists

This is true, I just have a stronger memory of TI2 being 'china dominated' because I couldn't see much of TI4. Oh well.

I enjoy watching VG these days and maybe C9/Secret can do something, it'll be a hype tournament anyway (hopefully).

 

[Monochromaticx]

OD with Drow aura. oh boy.

you mean lightning mario, not zeus. He looks more like a plumber than a god.

Nightstalker too please.

 

[abunai]

Do we have an IRC channel or something for during matches?
If not, should there be one?

The grave.

i'm getting sad seeing navi so bad nowadays

If I wanted to see Dendi win mid while the rest of his team lose everything, I'd watch him stream pubs

 

[Demoli]

God i hate this recent trend of Stats Jugg. I'd much rather have the quivalente damage as AoE Rather then bank everything on Omnislash.

 

[bbd23]

Na'Vi crumbling

 

[FlutterPuffs]

Heh last night I played an hour and 30 minute match that went like this, we had a tiny, I was necro, my friend was KOTL, they couldn't break our base. We held them off from breaking high ground for 35 minutes. Aghs refresher was doing some work but our damn wraith king decided to go solo rosh when they had it warded, my kotl friend followed and got rekt, and then they pushed for the win.




It's definitely much harder. A buddy I que with says supporting is more relaxing to him, but it's much more stressful for me. You have to try to keep all your idiots alive and have a much greater awareness of the potential for fights to break out so you can always be there to help.

I know we're in for a fun game when nobody on my team wants to contest the 0:00 runes.


I haven't played much Jakiro but I might start. From what I've seen he can even transition into a semi-carry if he gets big enough and ALL his spells have such a ridiculously low cool down.

Yeah, and you can pretty much farm with his ulti thanks to its quick cd. It can actually be used against catapults.

[manfestival]

OPIE OP

 

[Radec]

Empire beast mode.

Dendi didn't exist in both games

 

[TerryLee81]

Didn't watch lots of tournaments until now, but shouldn't those teams be in others rooms and not sit right in front of a big screen where they can see where the players of the other team are right now? That's why they sit in boxes at the TI, right?

 

[Dreams-Visions]

That Raptor tho.
