Good god. At least that was a game deserving of breaking Secret's winning streak

 

[W1SSY]

The next couple of games will probably be stomps.

 

[Kard8p3]

vg vs secret got me like

 

[Drkirby]

Wonderful game

 

[Ultrabum]

Hehehe

Look we all make mistakes >_>

 

[Grotar]

Damn, gonna be hard to recover after such loss....

 

[FlutterPuffs]

God that was fantastic.

Massive kudos to VG

 

[inkls]

OMG this game

 

[twobear]

are secret going to lose this game???

 

[Usobuko]

The best part to this was the undefeated streak for Secret coming to this BO3.

 

[Big Dog]

What a sad ending. Was really hoping Artour could pull something out and throne them. I feel he was a bit too reserved in using his 5 second bkb near the end and would usually have like 1/4 of his health by the time he decided to pop it. The multiple baits that Secret had to get sets of barracks in that game were unbelievable though, had me jumping out of my chair.

 

[sleverfunk]

I just got home why everybody is going crazy? wtf did I miss?

 

[Shinypogs]

I am sad for Secret but god damn I swear FY's sandking is the best in the world. Also I will be pissed if the finals don't have a game as good as this.

 

[shira]

I'm going with no.

bon apetit

 

[Radec]

Was wishing for that refresher axe to win. Fuck.

 

[Ketch]

argh god damnit, I watched the last 20 minutes of this game and now my intnernet shits the bed and I can't get the stream to work.

god damnit fuck my life

 

[Hung_real]

BEAT SECRET

BEAT MEGA CREEPS

GODDAMN

 

[OldAsUrSock]

Secret won, this game is boring, wat game are you guys watching. Dont get sucked into lumi hype. Its ova.

Edit: It was exciting a few mins ago though

sure buddy

 

[fallout]

Incredibly fun game to watch. I wonder how Secret is feeling.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

let's fucking go VG.

holy fuck that dac hud is hella tight... i think it has replaced brood hunter as my favorite

that new Luna hud skin is better imo. This DAC one looks like the Ember one from this time last year.

 

[Madouu]

what

a

game

 

[xanavi]

That was a hell of a game. 20 minute staring contest and secret blinks first.

 

[Ultrabum]

Literally a bigger throw than C9 yesterday. You have mega creeps, with wisp tiny, all your heros are alive, with buyback. How do you lose? Morons.

 

[twobear]

Tobear, its time for you to carry me with your superior knowledge!

- BUY DAGON

- BUY EBLADE

- it's always best to buy the recipe first when building items

- remember to always cast ravage when you're caught on your own with teammates nowhere nearby

Game of the Century

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Literally a bigger throw than C9 yesterday.

No.

1.) BG lost control of their jungle and safe lane @ 12 minutes, cutting their safe farming zones literally in half.

2.) C9 was up 25k gold at one point, along with a huge XP lead.

3.) C9 itemized poorly and played team fights poorly. They forgot to farm because they were so focused on ending, but forgot to buy the best sieging items.

4.) Even with no items, BG supports kept themselves alive and kept themselves relevant with multiple disables in each team fight and big ults to kill off EE.

5.) BG was forced to sit in base for 40 minutes.

6.) Down all that gold and xp, BG held no less than 6 base pushes vs refresher shaman wards and a lycan with one of the most immobile carries in the game.

By contrast, Secret never had a significant gold or xp lead. Their carry (Tiny) couldn't get any kills and kept dying. They bungled relocates, calls, shackles along the way.

The fact that they got megas and almost won that game while being behind most (if not all) of the game is a testament to their team's strength. Where it was only a sign of weakness for C9 in their loss.

You cannot throw harder than a global TP with the best carry for killing buildings with mega creeps and buyback.

That position is worth more than any amount of gold, items, or levels.

 

[FlutterPuffs]

That blink to avoid WR's shackle was fantastic. What a gameee

 

[Dreams-Visions]

That's demonstrably incorrect. Wisp and Chen are basically large melee and range creeps past 50 minutes. It was 3v5 for most intents and purposes.

 

[twobear]

they just got desperate and clowny at the end, you could see them losing coming from a mile off

 

[NormalFish]

Winter is -- as they say -- "totes adorbs".

 

[Ultrabum]

All they have to do is sit and wait for the mega creeps to push in. It was a huge throw. The could have sat in their base, and relocated bkb'd hit the throne and then bought back. Sat in their base until buyback was up again. It was such a huge position, and they threw it away so fucking hard.

 

[twobear]

yes. winter and synderen.

Yay VG!

it was glorious, based VG

VG is ahead even with megacreeps against them.

It was their game to lose to begin with. Secret just outsmarted VG and got the raxes.

Wisp+Tiny is no problem against a 6 slotted SF+Bristle.

 

[NormalFish]

What items did tiny have at the end?

 

[bounchfx]

What items did tiny have at the end?

all of them


AND THEY STILL LOST

 

[call_kotaku]

All they have to do is sit and wait for the mega creeps to push in. It was a huge throw. The could have sat in their base, and relocated bkb'd hit the throne and then bought back. Sat in their base until buyback was up again. It was such a huge position, and they threw it away so fucking hard.

But theoretically Windranger and Tiny have already peaked, Axe call becomes less of a factor, and 4 of the 5 heroes on VG still have uses for farm. It seems like they had to get the rosh or somehow put pressure on the map in order to win, even if SF and Bristle aren't hard carries.

 

[shira]

What items did tiny have at the end?

dad, bkb, aghs, bots, satanic, ac

 

[NormalFish]

Dunno about that build. Satanic seems questionable. But I don't know what else I would replace it with. Tough.

 

[Shinypogs]

Yes Dark Seer my baby I missed you.
