How do you come back mentally from that?

 

[Shinypogs]

MVP please that was closer than it needed to be guys, god damn but I hope game number 3 lives up to that.

You guys can do it!

 

[ghostjoke]

Holy crap.

 

[Huff]

Vega needs to hire a stylist. Can't win looking like garb

 

[Usobuko]

MVP was a little indecisive at times but still pull it off in the end.

 

[Metroidvania]

Without Wisp Base/rax relocate MVP would have been out several times over.

If only I could play Io like that for my 10 hero challenge :/

 

[Netrunner2k2]

Day one and so many great games. I'm loving this.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Crazy match.

 

[Lotto]

dota's so great

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

Day one and so many great games. I'm loving this.

Seriously, this has been more exciting than most of TI4

Well without them diving and overextending in the 20 minutes previously the game should have ended at 30.

It's all in how you look at things.

 

[rakkadakka]

Last match calls for some Bourbon.

Op heroes aside, I'm so glad we are getting a ti on a halfway decent patch.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

Hosts are drunk

If only I could reroll my 10 hero challenge, but alas, the button is broken

I had Batrider for my pre-reroll.

Should have just kept trying to force it, lol.

Oh, for sure. Just always interesting to see the opportunities for a late-game Io to shine like a NP.

3 MERLINIS

WTF

 

[Chris R]

Who is that ugly fish thing made from 8 polygons?

Spoiler

Kappa

 

[iamblades]

Carry omniknight wow...

 

[KingKong]

oh mvp not like this

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

322

 

[Chris R]

MVP, why

 

[scarybore]

Well, this game has started weird.

 

[KingKong]

great draft by MVP but Vega wasnt helping with the slardar

 

[Drkirby]

MVP looks really strong after a rocky start. I think they got this, Vega scales a bit poorly.

I wonder if vega would have been better off with timber.

 

[Usobuko]

3 MERLINIS

WTF

C'mon, don't pull the twitch norms here.

 

[iamblades]

I don't think anyone expected that last pick core omniknight though.

 

[Drkirby]

I don't think anyone expected that last pick core omniknight though.

Even then MVP already had 3 strength heroes, and timber is great at getting in and killing wisp.

 

[Tenebrous]

And there we go. Great comeback from MVP in the second to set up the decider, and definitely worthy of their $50k.

Awesome stuff.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

RIP EU Dota

 

[Chris R]

That 2nd game was insane, glad MVP made it through.

 

[inkls]

the first time a Korean team makes it to TI?

 

[Shorty11857]

the first time a Korean team makes it to TI?

We already have the other MVP, got 2 in it now

 

[SteveWinwood]

the first time a Korean team makes it to TI?

First year for any yeah. And now we have 2.

 

[iamblades]

Even then MVP already had 3 strength heroes, and timber is great at getting in and killing wisp.

Yeah and also picking the undying into SF and bristle was not all that wise anyway.

SF kills the tomb in like 3 hits and bristle builds a crimson guard and the zombies do no damage.

Their draft was focused all on dominating the lanes, while MVP sacrificed the strength in lane to get better team fight and caught up economically by stacking and never really got punished for it.

 

[Usobuko]

the first time a Korean team makes it to TI?

There's 2 MVP teams and the other one won the SE qualifier.

This one, the runner up, just made it through from the wild cards.

 

[inkls]

ah kk, forgot about the other mvp

 

[Drkirby]

the first time a Korean team makes it to TI?

Er, MVP Hot6 is also in TI5. They beat Phoenix in the Sea qualifier. I just like MVP Phoenix a lot more.

 

[SteveWinwood]

MVP Phoenix has the distinction of carrying on the legacy of Zephyr through their training of competition.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

C9 vs LGD is a pretty huge game

 

[x3r0123]

it was all a dream guys, vega vs col tomorrow

 

[Monochromaticx]

"Alliance" too soon merlini lool

 

[Drkirby]

C9 vs LGD is a pretty huge game

I'm so sad I have to work. Maybe I'll catch game 2 of that during lunch.
