Np playing with the big boys now.

And as expected, gets wrecked.

 

[neurosisxeno]

And as expected, gets wrecked.

So far this patch seems to be quick stomps more than previous patches. Every game I've seen seems to be really lopsided.

MFW we have a great 30 minute panel to open the event and find out stream was offline the whole time

 

[neurosisxeno]

"Oh I'll just pop into this NP vs. OG match to have it going and check every once in a while"

1 hour pause.

 

[Radec]

Looks like NP vs Secret tomorrow

 

[Qvoth]

mirana carry i mean what do you expect

match of the millenia tomorrow! ee vs puppey

edit: 1st time watching clutch, they're pretty good huh

 

[neurosisxeno]

Wow. CG destroyed iG...

 

[Royal Rainbow]

Faceless just getting completely outplayed right now

 

[Qvoth]

hope eg win this, faceless dragged for far too long and all their own fault

 

[Royal Rainbow]

Is halberd finally a good item guys?

 

[neurosisxeno]

Manta on Lifestealer *vomit*

 

[Qvoth]

disruptor not getting aghs is a huge mistake imo

 

[Radec]

Nice comeback from EG

 

[fr0st]

Manta on Lifestealer *vomit*

He needed it to break blood throne.

They can't always lotus orb him

 

[neurosisxeno]

disruptor not getting aghs is a huge mistake imo

At 52 minutes his networth was less than the value of an Aghs.

Fair point. Didn't see they had one.

 

[Qvoth]

At 52 minutes his networth was less than the value of an Aghs.

exactly, at the end of the game he only had glimmer and arcane
looking at dotabuff, faceless bought 50+ sentries, 40+ bought by disruptor, money that could've been an aghs
with aghs disruptor eg can't lotus, can't manta, can't halberd etc
this is just my 1.7k mmr bullshit probably but i truly believe if disruptor had aghs they would've won
jabz had medallion on 6th minute but never bought solar crest at the end of the game

 

[neurosisxeno]

I don't disagree, but they chose not to prioritize farm on their supports. Not sure what the hell the point of Jabz build was, a support roaming Weaver? Ehhhhhh.

Their plan was to win early, which did not happen clearly--hence the Core Venge.

EDIT: Dazzle/Slardar/DP. Yuck. That's a stupid amount of minus armor and a huge physical AoE...

And EG is going to lose. They picked Razor. -- They are up handily, not convinced they will win though.

 

[Guru-Guru]

Phoenix and Treant is such a sexy combo.

u tried

Maybe this is the Meta where Razor doesn't get dumpstered every game, who knows. But I really dislike that hero. He's the epitome of "playing not to lose".

With Treant and Phoenix he was pretty much unkillable. It was disgusting.

Have only watched a couple series this patch, but idk, everything seems to be one-sided stomps.

Fair enough.

Yea I pointed that out earlier. This definitely seems like a meta where you win early and just stomp. Bodes well for EG, they almost always win laning phase.

 

[Monochromaticx]

Razor is pgood
His tree is great

 

[Sigismundo]

Considering we're coming up to TI where Razor always shows up as he Doesn't Lose that sounds about right.

 

[Red UFO]

This patch is giving me hardcore TI4 vibes.

 

[Qvoth]

ti4 was the one newbee won right?
i remember that was quite boring, stompy deathball push with games ending 20 minutes or so
don't think this patch is boring

 

[Radec]

2 kills and already 3k lead.

Why they didn't ban DP like in the first game.?

How bad did he dominate?

I have been watching OG vs Newbee instead. Naga match, yet for whatever reason I have been enjoying it. Some fun, long team fights.
