No mana burn ever.
You say that like it's a bad thing. It sucks in Doter.
And Curse is letting me down. Everyone is holding Cop back.
Level of play was so low. It made me sad.
I was quite fond of Anti-Mage from the original DotA.
Too easy to play him. Not a lot of strategy and in fact he limits what can be done. I don't like him at all.
Coincidentally, I seem to recall everyone hating Anti-Mage in DOTA2. I'm not sure if it's for that reason or not.
He was supposed to be OP and rage-inducing so I tried him and sucked at melee-only, if I recall correctly, but I guess that's not surprising since I'm terrible at every game.
Cop is getting destroyed, that Soda Cop negative influence is too much for him to overcome.
*edit* I wish they wouldn't have those camera views inserted in the bottom, with the big banner. I feel like I'm looking at the game through a visor with a narrow hole in it.
End game he is monster and is necessary to kill off people with mana. If he had anymore he would be broke like he and others were in the betas.
Graves has Iedge. Corki is supposed to rush Triforce. Same with Easyreal.
But never Sheen before Phage. You should have taught him.
I stand corrected. I think Graves didn't get it until 40 minutes in though.
*edit* After like 48 minutes, glorious victory for
CLG
They felt like they had to do something because Shen could not stop Jax 1 v 1 and Voy was going to just push bot lane to death. Also Ori and Graves can clear minions forever. It wasn't a good fight but they didn't have good options.
The fact that Jax could beat Shen was a huge huge problem for them.

Curse deserve to be losers. So do CLG but whatever. Not impressed at all with the level of play in this tournament.
No, this isn't even true. Cop, Jacky, and Saint all threw that game.
Near the end Shen with trinity, randuins and sunfire actually beats Jax, but CLG just avoided that by shoving the lane and going somewhere else.
Rachel wearing all of the LoLhoodies. Malzahar one is neat
Have you ever seen a pro game you think is impressive? I've literally never seen you give any pro team props haha.
I know we probably joke about you because no matter what top tourney team plays with 2000+ elo players in whatever championship, you seem to post saying that all the teams were terrible players with low-level play...but seriously, what are some examples of good teams/high-level play tournament games? :/
*edit* Beaten by like 1 minute.
I don't remember what Voy's final build was, but with a little lifesteal he would be fine. Can disengage at any time by jumping to a minion, then lifestealing from jungle or other minions, then go back in. He can also just run in, hit a tower a few times and run away, there's no way Shen can DPS him fast enough to prevent that. Maybe Shen would win if they just stood toe to toe dueling but I don't think there's any way Shen could prevent Jax from slowly taking down the tower. If they thought Shen could do it they would have sent him bot, but in the final fight he was with the rest of team, forcing the engage, which is what you do against a split pusher you can't stop directly. (Force them to come back)
CLG also had mid inhib down for some of that time, which makes all creeps stronger, which would have made pushing down bot easier and made top slowly push on it's own.
I think Curse saw the writing on the wall and figured they were slowly going to bleed to death unless they did something dramatic.
TSM and Dignitas both look significantly better than CLG and Curse did. They were unimpressive games filled with stubborn and unchanging picks and massive mistakes around every turn. There were better games yesterday, at other tournaments, and in other countries. NA just isn't stepping it up.
You guys don't have to stick up for everything. Here is a fight I think displays the level of play that should come out from competitive organized teams.

So just a non one-sided team fight?
LOL NOOB CORKI SAT AND WAITED FOR REVIVE AND DIDN'T JUMP OVER THE WALL TO KILL URGOT BAD PLAY, SO BAD NA SO MUCH BETTER! /sodacop
I mean, I get that there are mistakes in every game (like Jacky and Cop running through CLG's jungle only to get instagibbed by Doublelift), but there is a lot of good play as well. Dig's poke comp, CLG's TP comp - I don't see how you can say that's boring and bad but M5's GA comp is any better.

So you're saying buying GA's on everyone increasing level of play?
I was curious and did some quick searching. You like Dignitas?
You like TSM?
I understand you may be joking, but please understand that if that's the case, it may be hard for us to tell when you're joking. You kinda come across as criticizing nearly every team. Relax and enjoy a bit.
What's your point? If a team does poorly I'll call them on it. I would enjoy these games more if the level of play was higher, right now that's not the case. I expect more from the teams, I don't know what else to say.
That's the smart thing to do right now a lot of the time. In fact it is one of the many things I would pile on the enormous list of mistakes from the tournament.
I'm not jumping down his throat. I'm just saying it would be nice if he were less critical. The level of expectation and near universal criticism seems silly, and lowering that a little could be enjoyable for everyone all around.

No. I enjoy the diversity and controversy.
Some corgis just like to watch the world burn.
Pretty much. Makes for a more interesting read.
Holy macaroni who cares? These games weren't fun to watch. Maybe it's the fault of the game maybe it's the fault of the teams, who knows?I'm not jumping down his throat.
