Dope. I got the Mirana one. Not the Wyvern one yet.
I love how people don't fucking buy dust when 3 of their heroes have built shadow blades.
Lion's Aghs does a pretty decent job of wave clearing against super 2.5 lanes of super creeps though. Me and Techies (one of the worst techies I've seen, but maybe the 7.00 change made his base turtle a little less effective?) kept the single rax alive while NP tried to rat it while our three cores just ran down mid, did a full wipe/buyback once, and then did it again four minutes later.

Mine is too. My last like 4 calibration matches were really bizarre--4k MMR Average (Lost), 3.7k MMR Average (Won), 3.2k MMR Average (Won Hard), 3.0k MMR Average (Blowout Win). So the more it moved me down at the end despite winning the better I did and the harder we stomped, yet for some reason it kept moving me down and I calibrated at like 3.4k when I'm normally around 3.7-3.8k.
Even better when they insist on continually ganking one of those people with a shadow blade without dust and complaining that nobody has vision.

I heard you can plug headphones into the microphone jack to use as a mic.
Try to plug the power cable into the mouse port and maybe you can get a mouse?
i just play my daily quest / other quests on my 3.2k MMR season, normal match is 50/50% chance of full blown crazy shit or stomp, while my 3.7k normal mmr is a too much with 80 minutes super hard games lol.

EG and NP are my favorite teams, I don't even know how to feel tonight.

Not a huge fan of EG's draft, but it definitely has potential. A lot of AoE damage...

EG's draft was basically predicated on map control and taking towers early, but that doesn't seem to have happened. I find it hard to believe they can win this game at this point unless they take like 2-3 very favorable team fights.

People called Romanes they go the house?
Yeah, EG's boned.
Lost map control to Nyx scouting out for Io/LC and the mobile QoP, and then there's no space for Arteezy to rat/farm.

Let's go Team Anime
NP started a messy fight top lane, while Fata just ratted bottom with a DD. After EG fully committed to the fight top and lost 2 or 3 heroes, envy TPed bottom to help Fata kill bottom rax, and it just spiraled from there.
Been wondering why they're running local ads on a twitch stream myself.
Cause theyre the sponsor and they know everyone has adblocker anyways
I was thinking more along the lines of the organizers couldn't get bigger sponsors.

Opening with Ember is actually really smart by NP. EG has no way of knowing if that's a safelane Ember or a Mid Ember so they have to try and draft against both. I think both EE and FATA play a really strong Ember too so it doesn't require them to commit to too much or lose out making someone who's not good take a hero.

I think NP has the stronger draft again. I don't see this Night Stalker accomplishing a lot, and Phoenix doesn't seem that great. Probably decent against BB at least.
