Too clean. Dota has upsets galore.
I'm pretty certain NP is tilted af and are kicking someone
WGU over OG
DC pull out a last pick meepo and beat Newbee
EG can also run the table if they want to

I don't disagree. Went "clean" last year as well and lost so many points by betting on OG.
Why do you think WG will make it that far? This is the first tournament I've heard of them and missed all of but one of their games this major.

NP isn't making it out of the first round. Neither is OG.

NP has higher chance getting to the final than EG winning against both Wings and VP.

Having not played it, hard to say. But I did talk to the team about it. It looks like a much faster SFxT, and speed was that game's biggest issue. Optimistic about the Infinity Stones.
As much as I want my Korean boys to make to the quarter finals, they haven't played very well together this major. I think OG will take that series easily.

Not sure what you mean do you mean what Sunday games where the best to watch or which matchups look best coming up?
Sunday games?
If you like non-stop fighting the Ad Finem games
If you like domination the LGD games
If you like crying the EG games

Nice plug.
I am a little more confident than DV about OG making it past the first round (MVP haven't looked too good since TI6). NP could go either way.

Don't give up. Same thing happened to EHOME at TI6 vs EG.
Oh wait they lost the 2nd game and disbanded.
Certainly not with that build.
You want mana sustain into aghs, so like quick orchid probably. Orchid>Aghs>Bloodthorne or Orchid>Aghs>Bloodstone is how I see it work.
Or have an alch farm give you an aghs right as you finish your orchid for maximum power spike.

Time for you to play ffxv or that last guardian game
I fucked up, it was an hour 44 mins.

Pretty poor game by me after our early advantages tbh. Highlights included dropping my new MKB to pick up 2 enemy Rapiers only to die 2 secs later.

I have got matched with a guy (Venge) whom I had just reported for feeding in my previous game. I decided to go for Riki and follow him (Necro) all game.
It turned out you don't need to last hit on Riki. 369 GPM without a single last hit in a 55 min game. This is something that I suspected from my previous roaming Riki games at the Normal Bracket.
Whatever the timing is on Diffusal Blade, be it solely purchased from passive gold gain, you can win the game by getting the opponents to buy a gem and manage to take it away as fast as you can from them. They bought 2 on Lion and lost each in the following team fight.

Lul. Riki is so great in this meta, especially with Diffusal.
So many people buy Diffu and use the charges too quickly though, but denying 1.8K gold is no joke.
I especially love annoying Mid if they don't have a sentry by just denying and smacking them.
That game was so amazing, but must have been so demoralizing for EHOME.
was it in the newest true sight that they said that ppd wanted to call it, but fear pushed for them to play it out?
LucidMomentum
Member
Yeah I think so.
I miss Fear so much. One of my favorite carries.
The goodbye Valve posted when he retired, comparing his Free to Play interview where he just wanted to play Dota 2 and make it a career vs his TI win before retiring makes me choke up every time.

just you. fuck December in Boston.
Why they didn't hold this shit in Miami metro given the time of year is beyond me.
Let any US city (north, central, south) host Majors in the Spring, Summer and Fall. Winter should belong to southern US cities when they want to do one in the US. Miami, Orlando, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, Austin (?), New Orleans, Phoenix, LA, San Diego all have above average venues and hotel accommodations.
Yes please. Give Austin Major.
