weird draft, probably going to a game 5

 

[Alur]

This game has stomp written all over it.

 

[brian!]

ima just assume gfe going for the long con
theyll prob try to do a cocoon morales play

 

[Alur]

So they are going to Cocoon Morales I guess? Seems to be their only option with this paltry damage.

EDIT: LOL jinx. Dread saying Locust.

 

[brian!]

yeah the only thing being nvt is prob aware of it...but also it's kenma...hard to say what's going to happen lol

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Holding up better than expected so far but they just can't fight

 

[Alur]

Amazing they are still relatively in this EXP wise considering how rekt they've gotten on objectives and kills.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

GFE just outdrafted themselves.

 

[Alur]

Holy shit Kenma was just standing there and they didn't turn on him.

EDIT: This is what forfeiting a game looks like.

 

[Celegus]

Terrible draft... Has ETC Uther first pick really worked out for anyone much? Doesn't seem worth it.

 

[brian!]

they were trying to take away things good w/ kerri but they kinda put blinders on while doing it

 

[Alur]

If they were so concerned with Kerri why not just ban her tho? That's her best map.

 

[brian!]

yeah I totally thought they had a plan for her and gave her up on purpose but I can't really explain what happened after

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Oh GFE with the Illidan, he carried them before but against teams of lesser caliber.

Already love that draft no matter if it's good.

 

[scoobs]

theyve hard countered illidan with every pick, they got no chance

 

[brian!]

khroen putting the team on his back!

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Playing a bit too passively

 

[Alur]

Maybe Udall is right and he is the best Illidan NA.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Fan's Illidan was pretty off today.

 

[brian!]

gg gfe
nvt needs to work on their mental game

 

[Alur]

And they hate each other after Kenma's BM.

Udall dabbed in front of them in the handshake line ROFL.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

That last teamfight was glorious, looks like Fan needs to join them if he wants to play with the best.

 

[Alur]

Khroen is good man. I like that dude.

Tracer winning games. Feels Quick Match man.

 

[Milly79]

Oh, Famalie. It's one tournament. Don't you preach that?

 

[Alpha Centauri]

The real Illidan confirmed. That metamorph top and rotation onto kt was great. That was a fantastic series overall

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Oh, Famalie. It's one tournament. Don't you preach that?

2 now actually and we'll not see them face off for like another month at least and then possibly not even at Blizzcon after which there's gonna be a lull till spring.

Spoiler

not to mention that it wasn't a meaningless regional qualifier

Muh draft

 

[kirblar]

.....after ten thousand years I am free to say

Nice hero pool Kenma. That was so satisfying to watch.

 

[brian!]

wouldnt really say that gfe is better than nvt overall, but they were def better in this series for sure. looking prtty dire for na in general though

too bad you ended up barely missing the PT.

 

[kirblar]

Yeah, I couldn't call out Emrakul on day 1 for you guys. (maybe I should be like grubby and be followkirblar for twitter updates.) Event was good, Kibler's suggestion that draft needs to be axed is completely on point.

MG have looked shockingly good all weekend. This post Dunk/Dread environment is so weird.

 

[brian!]

jun is great

That's true but NVT will never improve until they get a better support and a proper tank player. For GFE the sky is the ceiling.

Would be so weird if they made Blizzcon though. Probably shouldn't make this thread MTGaf on 2nd thought.

 

[kirblar]

Jun and Khroan both look insane this weekend.

MG grabs Li Ming. GFE grabs Tracer as a counterpick.

MG grabs BW. o,O

....and they're being punished appropriately for it.

I don't get the Thrall picks.

 

[Alur]

Murlocs gonna do the unthinkable.

NA scene may not be international viable anymore, but damn if it isn't nice to see other teams succeeding finally.

EDIT: Murloc Geniuses going full Leicester City.

EDIT: Cattlepillar keeps moving upward.

 

[protonium]

[kirblar]

Jun looked ridiculous all event long. What a great pickup.

 

[Alur]

Is he completely new? Don't remember the name off the top of my head.

EDIT: Also, welcome back kirb. Was quiet without you around.

 

[Celegus]

Yeah, super impressed with him especially given the lackluster state of NA supports. Well played and well deserved!

 

[kirblar]

Thnx. Need to add more words to properly target snark in future! Not hard to avoid a repeat.

Oh, and scuttlebutt is that a league system is coming next year, and is the game-changer people like Khaldor were talking about a month ago.

 

[Alur]

Let us hope so. To this and Overwatch both, honestly.

 

[kirblar]

Yeah. When you have Dread/Dunk moving to commentary, it's a sign (like in MTG) that you simply don't have enough money in the scene.

 

[Alur]

I liked having them both there doing their own separate things. I'm glad they are staying around.

It's great that they're around.

It's bad that the money's better doing that gig.

 

[Alur]

Agreed. Not sure how to change that without more viewers though. We had like 13k today. In the past an NA regional would've done 20 easy, and seems like the pre Blizzcon one last year did even better than that. Feels like the viewership is at least steady once again though.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

OMG GFE managed to lose, what's going on with NA?

I fell asleep when they were up 2-1

 

[Ketch]

I don't recognize any of these players.....


Edit: oh, there's cuthon luck.

 

[Alur]

You should know a bunch of them. Most are retreads.

 

[scoobs]

Ahh so excited for Auriel today!

 

[kirblar]

I wonder if she singlehandedly brings Chogall back.
