2 more to go Secret.

Go for the 15-0

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Yeah I don't remember 2 years ago that well but Secret might actually be more dominant than Alliance was.

 

[Technosteve]

is faceless void no longer popular or saving the good picks for post playoffs?

I think it's more that other heroes got more popular plus the effect of Void nerfs from 6.83 and 6.83b

Not yet. [A] went on a 8-0 run over those 8 tournament including TI3 at the 8th.

They also had the G1 in China without dropping a single throne.

Of course, Secret still has to prove themselves by actually winning stuff, I'm mostly looking at how well they're playing. They'll still have to show how consistent they are by keeping this up for weeks/months.

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

I was wrong about China battering us.

I was right about Notail.

 

[FACE]

iG with the fifth pick Brood.

shadow fiend vs juggarnaut, the tournament.

featuring special guest, axe

Steve lmao, every single time you've invited me to your party I've been asleep. Play Dota earlier damnit.


You forgot the big star.

Venge everywhere.

Lion is the most picked hero of the tournament.

 

[Technosteve]

this pro meta is terrible

 

[Nymerio]

I'm on a winning streak with the Axe/WD combo. So disgusting. I usually go go brown boots -> stick -> urn -> mana boots. The sustain you get from his heal and urn is ridiculous, and the ulti works so well with call.

 

[close to the edge]

Navi playing really smartly.

 

[Monochromaticx]

This navi IG game is like a ticking bomb thats ready blow any second.

 

[FACE]

According to Dotabuff Slark has a 35% win rate this tourney

 

[Shorty11857]

C9 really struggling against Newbee

 

[FACE]

Late game DD too strong.

 

[Monochromaticx]

and kaboom.
The short streak ends

 

[krameriffic]

Did Na'Vi win that? Didn't catch the end.

they lost after TA got a DD

 

[Smithy C]

Having only heard xyclops on Bulldog's stream, he seems like he would be an awful caster. Why does everyone get excited when he casts?

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

to be fair, how can you support people as good as EE and Bone 7?

 

[Shorty11857]

Envy is seriously awful sometimes

 

[FACE]

Sansheng baited Envy so hard

Edit: Rabbit just killed Hao with that Chrono :facepalm:

 

[Monochromaticx]

rabbit pls

RABBIT PLS

 

[Manus]

Wow C9 won that.

 

[Baha]

I think CDEC may have just lost this game....

[edit] fy is so based, goddamn.

 

[Monochromaticx]

omg iceiceice and fy so good.
mega kill unstoppable streak for IO now. 4th highest networth higher than all of CEDC heroes.

He's hilarious, it's so bad it's good.

 

[call_kotaku]

Watching C9 lose is still entertaining for some reason, just conceptually. I don't dislike any of the players and EE is kind of endearing in a cringey way, but damn is it somehow hilarious to watch them lose.

badly needs a buff imo

increase duration and decrease cool down of shadow dance active imo

maybe mini stun on pounce???

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Mushi is trash

badly needs a buff imo

increase duration and decrease cool down of shadow dance active imo

maybe mini stun on pounce???

Also Essence Shift duration should be 5 minutes at level 1.

 

[The Technomancer]

Heh

 

[aeolist]

man the last two secret games should be interesting

also lol who was saying troll is trash? that CDEC game and EG just now would suggest otherwise

e. holy shit newbee is 1-12? hahahahahaha

 

[manfestival]

LD dropping the hilarious NAVI hate

 

[Carlius]

navi cant deal with broodmother.. dont know why. but they just cant

5 AM @_@

 

[Strider]

Wake up to see Secret still undefeated... And finally that game vs EG tonight \O/

 

[Drkirby]

shadow fiend vs juggarnaut, the tournament.

People keep saying it like it's a bad thing.

 

[rakkadakka]

Well I'm over "support" morphling.

Just carry players in disguise.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

People keep saying it like it's a bad thing.

I prefer them over the likes of Razor, Viper, Doom, ET, or even Ogre.

Yeah SF ulti and Axe dunks never get old. Unlike eye of the storm and viper's .mm ..veno spit ulti thing

 

[MurkyZebra2417]

I really wonder what happened at Na'vi between Starladder and DAC. It is like a whole different team. Can 2 weeks of Bootcamp do that? Did they even Bootcamp?

EG VS SECRET HYPE

http://dota2lounge.com/match?m=5685

I doubt either side is going to play 100%.

 

[Monochromaticx]

I doubt either side is going to play 100%.

ummm those odds. its tempting to bet on EG

 

[FlutterPuffs]

Yeah I don't remember 2 years ago that well but Secret might actually be more dominant than Alliance was.

Alliance was more dominant in tournaments, but at least with Secret, they are more fun to watch.

TI3 era Alliance matches was so boring to watch, sans that TI2 final where Na'Vi got the closest to bringing them down.

 

[W1SSY]

So any recommendations for games from last night?

 

[aeolist]

I doubt either side is going to play 100%.

does finishing 1-2 just mean you get to pick your opponent? doesn't look like anything outside of top 8 really matters

It was a day of stomps. I enjoyed the VG vs CEDC match because of how well FY and VG played (and because I am a fanboy)
