Aw, I thought they were going to go Shadowstalk/lust.

 

[Syf]

anyone else can't connect to bnet? just went offline for me

 

[Milly79]

there was this bad ass flank right before the 2nd shrine phase. where thrall sunders from like behind nvt's mid wall and they poly wipe falstad instantly

it was pretty sick.

also. invernum/bababooey > jake/anybody

They won't even finish top 4 according to him.

 

[brian!]

Aw, I thought they were going to go Shadowstalk/lust.

would have been really into that, but falstad gust ruins good things

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Are C9 just playing like trash or what's going on?

 

[brickwalker0]

anyone else can't connect to bnet? just went offline for me

im having issues too. im also in the b.net voice chat alpha and had to wait in a queue for 3 mins and still having issues connecting.

 

[Alur]

So did C9 and NVT win or lose? Not at home to watch.

They won't even finish top 4 according to him.

You really think GFE will finish top 4? I have a yacht to sell you.

 

[brian!]

lmao gfe is so thirsty for this

 

[kirblar]

Holy fucking shit what a throw.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

If Gust hadn't stacked up so much against Falstad or used the sanc to take him down at the time they could have had it, 2-1. C9 almost defeated by a team most actually forgot existed.

 

[Ketch]

haha yea.... like where ya going GFE? that's not your base bro

 

[brian!]

i respect the lvl 20 is overrated strat from gfe, c9 dodged a bullet lol
woops I mean gust

 

[kirblar]

The scene is slowly catching up to the top 2 teams.

yeah looks like they broke it - https://twitter.com/BlizzardCS/status/720425754312445952

I'm gonna be watching the basketball games right away anyway so probably won't be on for overwatch unless you're up late. I'll play later, like around 10 pst probably

 

[brian!]

sylv in every game, no illidan?

 

[Alur]

GFE threw or Gust threw or both?

 

[brian!]

sry i got confused, gust threw
i guess the client is failing mid-tournament lol
dustin had to throw the master switch after he saw the draft

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Arthelon was a liability that match. One time he ran into them facechecking 1v3.

 

[Ketch]

gust threw big time.

5 mine wipe, take 30 seconds to break through the wall and then get sandwiched on the wrong side of the other teams bot wall.

Looks like Battle.net is experiencing a DDOS attack tonight. Having severe authentication issues for myself and friends.

 

[Syf]

It's lizard squad, they claimed it on their twitter

Ugh, seriously? They're always the worst.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

 

[Ketch]

I want a dbz Chen skin where instead of drinking he powers up like goku.

 

[Alur]

GFE got Naventic on the ropes here. It's still in NVT's favor, but could go bad.

EDIT: NVT lives to play another day.

 

[Ketch]

Tempo swimming up stream

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Tempo up a game against C9, what year is it?

Dehaka putting in some work.

 

[Ketch]

That game was weird though. Like c9 all decided not to attack anymore and just see how long it would take tempo to win

 

[brian!]

Tempo just kept hiding in fog of war for picks, it was pretty nasty

 

[Ketch]

So whose shot calling for tempo now?

 

[kirblar]

So whose shot calling for tempo now?

Would guess Kaeyoh.

 

[Celegus]

I'm not sure I've ever seen so many Tyraels in NA.

 

[brian!]

wp tempo storm, they just blew them away
time for c9 to relearn kael lol

 

[Ketch]

yea that DK shrine was VERY convincing.

some surprisingly good play out of tempo.

 

[kirblar]

Dehaka looked like a monster on that map.

Definitely seems like an "Uther" style tank- weak in HL, great in 5v5.

 

[Alur]

Dehaka has looked great in every game I've seen. I mean, when you can bait a Cleanse on a 15 second cooldown that doesn't necessarily have to mean a hard engage...that's p good value. Especially the time or two I saw it used on the tank which was never in any real danger anyway.

Not counting the rest of his utility.

Glad to see Tempo do well. Maybe they can return and be a real thing again.

 

[Ketch]

I guess it's just easier to land then stitches hook? or maybe it's because they're disabled for so long. so it doesn't really matter if the's not pulling them very far.

also, I have had a bit of success in my last couple games as dehaka getting him to 5 in QM, but I was going to full on tanky build. He can just get away with so much with his D and adaptation... maybe that'll change when people learn to recognize adaptation and NOT attack you during that time period, but he gets a lot of damage in with his tornado too so it's pretty worth.

It's that it's a stun - he's a ganker through and through.

 

[brian!]

Yeah i really liked the dehaka play on spider queen, forgot which team though. Agility prob is the way to go esp. on that map

 

[Alur]

This JHow guy honestly isn't bad. At least voice wise. He does talk a lot, but that has the added benefit of keeping Zoia silent until necessary. Probably a good thing for the future of competitive that a few more casters get blooded in the scene.

Now we get NVT vs Cog for the salt bowl.

 

[kirblar]

He's like a better 4CourtJester. Definitely competent, reminds me of ShaneGoocher.

 

[Ketch]

SOOOOOO stupid to give up the god draft just to try to limit the warrior pool. There's so many fuckin warriors that can be played and Johanna is like the easiest hero in the world.

Double Tank with Double Support (even if it's the 1/2 supports) is so stupid unless you're going all in on the 5th hero (Hammer, Illidan, etc.)

 

[Alur]

Cog doesn't even have a fort down? Damn.

Fan got no scoped

 

[Ketch]

I don't understand how the falstad is dying to etc

 

[kirblar]

I don't understand how the falstad is dying to etc

I think he's just going in half-health (because Uther's really bad at keeping a team topped off) and getting killed because of it going in blind.

That was the game that would not end. It goes on and on my friend.

 

[Alur]

Not sure either, but I think everyone watching knew Fan should GTFO cause that owl was coming right to that spot.

 

[Ketch]

kaelthas getting played a lot today

and naventic is getting wrecked

man good set coming out here

damn naventic wussing out by not picking illidan

 

[Alur]

These pause chats are good TV.

 

[Ketch]

yea. this is me watchin this game right now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlcWqzOJRbo

Pls god no

NOOO!

lol and then i missed the end of the game fuk me
