#

lets go china

jolly crane
#

they have nothing

#

for that brood

ancient harbor
#

lmao

#

space created

jolly crane
#

yeah....

#

if you have to drop sanitys eclipse

#

for spiderlings

#

you know the game aint going too well

ancient harbor
#

do they even have good HG defence on 9panda?

jolly crane
#

nah

#

they were banking on good lanes

#

but it didnt work out

#

primal lane and od

#

but od kinda sucks mid nowadays

#

rubick+et stomp is kinda the only thing they have

#

and you dont wanna stomp a creepwave

ancient harbor
#

mhmm

#

primal split the creep wave πŸ‘€

jolly crane
#

man doesnt even skill stun

#

on willow

ancient harbor
#

????????????

#

πŸ’

#

woulda been super big brain to hit tormentor and kill morph wi th reflect damage

jolly crane
#

kinda not respecting the OD aghs

worn drift
#

getting a little sketchy for lgd

#

altho octarine spell prism on willow

jolly crane
#

ehh

#

its just

#

they can obviously lose a teamfight

#

but 9pandas hasnt been on the radiant side of the map for 40minutes

#

was the first time they went out of the base

#

and thats cuz lgd kinda trolled that fight in front of the base

worn drift
#

ramzes going to lose the game easy tho

#

he hit buyback just gonna die now like a noob

#

shiro not showing a very good game tho

#

kind of noob gameplay

jolly crane
#

ye hes

#

not respecting the ET stomps

#

dunno why he doesnt get a pike

#

to force himself

#

only way he dies is if he gets stomped by ET

worn drift
#

ye he has like a 1 sec window to get cc'd lol

ancient harbor
#

hmmm

#

radiant also no bb except sky

#

???????????

worn drift
#

lol

#

roshan getting cut thru like butter

jolly crane
#

ye idk

#

lgd might lose this

#

and if they do, its well deserved

#

cuz theyre not playing their advantage at all

ancient harbor
#

0 respect

worn drift
#

ye they do not look good here lol

jolly crane
#

the 1man RPs on primal every fight

#

tbf its tough

worn drift
#

its like they picked some creative shit and dont know how to play it

jolly crane
#

9p plays very well

#

nah they know how, but they just kinda

#

the ET is ruining their game

worn drift
#

looks like both teams willing to just afk until buybacks

#

no ones risking it

jolly crane
#

lots of respect from bnoth teams

agile onyx
#

Is that a core willow?

ancient harbor
#

yeah

#

pos1

agile onyx
#

Wowee

worn drift
#

tbh he should just buy the upgraded euls

#

he'll be invincible

ancient harbor
#

anything to just not be hit by ET stun right

#

thats the only thing catching him out properly

agile onyx
#

Also how was the liquid vs talon series? I missed it.

jolly crane
ancient harbor
#

hahahahahahaha

#

πŸ’

#

morph so strong

worn drift
#

ye idk he just has a 1 sec gap on realm cd

agile onyx
#

Oh man that's a lot of buybacks

jolly crane
#

this is gonna end up some

worn drift
#

its too strong to lose lol

jolly crane
#

90min game

worn drift
#

nah

#

1 side has all buys

#

1 side has none

#

except morph

#

all they need is 1

#

not even good fight

#

all they need is 9 pandas to engage them lol

jolly crane
#

theyre respecting each other too much

#

to make any kind of risky plays

#

od damage output is kinda absurd

ancient harbor
#

is this where darkwillow falls off

worn drift
#

uhh

#

she has a 1 sec downtime on shadow realm

#

she doesnt fall off

jolly crane
#

its not the willow

#

that falls off

ancient harbor
#

yeah but OD ulti

jolly crane
#

its the mag/brood

#

willow is an int hero

#

doesnt really care about od ult

ancient harbor
#

oh true

worn drift
#

also its not pure dmg so

#

even if he does get a shit ton of mana

jolly crane
#

problem is that the mag and brood just die in a single hex

worn drift
#

also shes universal xd

#

not int

jolly crane
#

true

agile onyx
#

Even better than int

jolly crane
#

but she has high int

#

lots of mana

worn drift
#

ye

#

pirate hat on willow

#

hes getting literal perfect neutrals

#

altho now he has bigger gap on realm

#

if he wasn't a noob he'd buy upgraded euls

ancient harbor
#

gotta get travels instead

worn drift
#

kiyotaka just going to die no bb with no buttons pressed

ancient harbor
#

oooooft

jolly crane
#

ngl

#

9p played that about as well as they could

#

and still seemed to kinda

ancient harbor
#

yeah

jolly crane
#

not have a chance

ancient harbor
#

eh i dunno

#

felt like 60/40 by the end there

jolly crane
#

they still had

worn drift
#

well yea when the hero is close to invincible cant really do anything

jolly crane
#

full buybacks except brood

worn drift
#

you need some like

jolly crane
#

going into that LGD lineup

worn drift
#

bkb piercing aoe cc

jolly crane
#

to push highground

#

is

#

insane

#

any hero that starts hitting towers

#

gets blasted by the willow

#

and you ahve mag skewer/rp

worn drift
#

ye so

#

when you buy upgraded euls

#

you are legitimately not kill able

#

obviously can be dispelled by nullifier

jolly crane
#

i usually just play

#

arcane blink

worn drift
#

but still lmao

jolly crane
#

cuz it has 7sec cd as well

#

but ye you need smth to reposition in fights as willow

#

otherwise people just run you down

worn drift
#

blink is problematic cause some random aoe dmg or dot can cd it

#

just get both tbh

jolly crane
#

main issue imo was

worn drift
#

hero doesnt need silver edge

jolly crane
#

that one bot fight where od and morph both get away with 1hp

#

if either of them die there

#

the game is over right then and there

#

kiyotaka hard trolling with no bkb tho imo

#

and that tormentor play

#

procced his aghs

#

so the next teamfight he didnt have it

#

and had to buy out

worn drift
#

ye i mean he trolls quite often

jolly crane
#

well its kiyotaka

#

couldve gone great

#

think he kept them in the game a lot

#

by taking out a hero each fight instantly

#

usually the brood

worn drift
#

ye

jolly crane
#

fear is so fucking swole man

#

its insane

worn drift
#

axe is a good choice vs this carry willow

#

also pango

#

kunkka

#

ah

#

faceless void would be good

#

just drop chrono on her near end of realm and shes deadge

#

haha

#

i was actually thinking night stalker and spectre is kind of good

#

just giving bunch of vision for spectre picks

worn drift
#

nts playing well

ancient harbor
#

he's still so far ahead of alchie

worn drift
#

69 min game

wraith scroll
#

Moos charges to farm are killing me lol.

ancient harbor
#

this is just like my pub games. enemy is destroying t3 and base mean while our pos1 is off farming neutrals still

worn drift
#

holy fuck lou has some INSANE gamer neck

ancient harbor
#

dude looks like a tank

stone geode
#

got spoiled on the last series just by opening the vod on twitch

stone geode
#

just noticed that LGD isnt PSG anymore

stray yew
#

fell asleep mid g1 of 9p/lgd

#

but 2nd game at least went accordingly Classic

stone geode
#

im just finishing that one, 25 mins in

#

AR series to go

#

but I already know the result thanks to the vod name

stray yew
#

ngl nto relevant games enough

#

for me to watch them

#

maybe if it was 2-1 nouns or sth then id bother

#

but ar winning was expected

stone geode
#

just having a nice dota weekend

stray yew
#

chinese team already making it to top 3 is it?

#

balance in universe restored

#

chinese teams battling for upper final

#

meanwhile NA in the dirt LOLW

stone geode
#

NA lul

#

that tundra series was real bad though

stray yew
#

this should be biggest stomp

#

of entire tournament

#

in bb favour

stone geode
#

skiter had a really bad series there

#

BB some real bad drafts in the 9p series tbh

#

idk how they would match up against lgd

stray yew
#

ill always look at domestic cis matches with grain of salt

#

they are always weirdest

#

most fucked up shit

#

i remember eras where most dominant teams were CIS and then they go play some regional match

#

and lose to legit t2 team

stone geode
#

ye, its the weirdest region in that regard

#

spirit looking like a million bucks then they almost lose to VP

#

good thing yatoro is the best pos1 in the world

#

somnus the oldest midlaner (27)

jolly crane
#

28-2

#

was insane stomp

#

and somnus with 0 deaths in game2

jolly crane
#

basically every other mid from that era is pretty washed or retired by now

#

midone, sumail, noone, miracle etc.

stone geode
#

I didnt watch too much of midone, idk how good he was

#

I just saw him in his washed up stage

stray yew
#

somnus couldve been greatest player ever

stone geode
#

hes maybe, right

jolly crane
#

ye

stray yew
#

ye

#

idk why chinese players retire so early/fast

#

whats about their culture or about them

#

that makes them do that

jolly crane
stone geode
#

I like the random words chinese players pick as nicknames sometimes

stray yew
#

i mean its stupid

#

there are lots of great players in many sports that didnt win the biggest thing

jolly crane
#

ye

stray yew
#

in team sports at least

jolly crane
#

ame is often considered the #1 carry together with yatoro

#

and he hasnt won TI either

stone geode
#

the urge to play dota always intensifies when watching a tournament

#

then you remember you have nobody to play with and are washed up and old

jolly crane
#

but somnus/maybe was always considered worse than people like sumail or nisha or abed and i never really agreed with that. man is just insanely consistent, just doesnt do super flashy plays 24/7

stone geode
#

thats how I always considered ame

#

really consistent, barely made a mistake

jolly crane
#

think there was 1 TI where the entire groupstage had only 9 solo kills in midlane. somnus did 6 of those.

stray yew
#

i mean somnus doesnt play the game competitively

#

comes back

#

and instantly shits on people that play the game

#

its crazy

#

and unheard of

jolly crane
#

ye

#

same as last TI

#

if they didnt get hit with covid

#

it mightve been RNGs year

#

seeing how they went 9-1 in groups

#

then 9-9 into 100min bo1 loss

#

Why the fuck did K1 not max time lock

#

Level 14 and it's still lv3

#

But has maxed timewalk and dilation

stray yew
#

k1 is the carry from nouns?

#

if yes bro jsut trust him

#

gbuy is mega cracked actually

#

he deserves better team than nouns

humble yew
#

shopify vs tsm starting

slow nymph
#

rtz willow pog

worn drift
#

Wonder who will be first to buy the upgraded euls on willow carry

#

All you need is octarine + that and then lvl 20 and you are invincible to single target

stone geode
#

windwaker?

worn drift
#

Ye

stone geode
#

it was bought yesterday on willow

worn drift
#

Ye super late tho

#

If he bought it earlier game would have ended

stone geode
#

willow didnt look tht good tbh

#

the other players won the game

worn drift
stone geode
#

before he did anything

worn drift
#

Ye hard to tell tbh

#

Maybe they win faster with other carry

stone geode
#

he was good for siege later

#

but the game felt won already before he even joined a fight

jolly crane
worn drift
#

Ye but question is would they have lost in late game state with other carry

jolly crane
#

if they got rosh

#

after primal dieback

#

and then kill last rax with that aegis

#

instead they feed, lose rosh, and game drags on another 20min

stone geode
#

it does look super cancer though

worn drift
#

Ye i mean they looked bad that game but game after they crushed

jolly crane
#

it is

worn drift
#

It is

jolly crane
#

but its also

#

very vulnerable

worn drift
#

As an enemy carry its aids

#

You cant hit her

stone geode
#

ye, even with brief vuln windows he got smoked by morph

jolly crane
#

sure but the hero also doesnt do much

#

if you catch her, shes dead

worn drift
#

Ye you need team to win early

#

Or it looks real bad

jolly crane
#

any kind of disable

#

is gonna kill her

worn drift
#

Aoe disable*

jolly crane
#

and while its very cancer, the hero doesnt do anything else, and its only singletarget damage

stone geode
#

it comes online quite late tbh

jolly crane
#

you kill 1 hero per shadow realm

#

ghost scepter fucks you

#

cause you cant get nullifier

worn drift
#

That is true

jolly crane
#

youre not in range for it

#

so theres a lot of counterplays imo

#

dont think SR will win this

worn drift
#

Well issue is stilll killing her

#

If you get windwaker

#

You are invulnerable to st

stone geode
#

can both teams lose this and get eliminated?

worn drift
#

100% uptime

#

You have to pick some aoe stuff against her

#

If you dont and it goes late enough you just lose

stone geode
#

ES stuns him and CK one taps

#
  • dawn ult
#

im a tsm fan this series

worn drift
#

Nah more like grim bomb

#

Db ult

#

Etc

#

But ye i dont think lgd picking all that shit and winning with it does much for the tourny

#

People are just gonna pick willow 1 for funsies now cause it was revealed

#

Everyone already knew about it tho xiao8 isn’t really creating anything new

stone geode
#

lgd was another level, they would have won regardless

worn drift
#

Not rlly

#

They sucked game 1

#

Shiro looked super noobish

#

Game 2 they smashed though

stone geode
#

they made a few bad choices in g1

worn drift
#

On personal skill level shiro looked not good

#

If it comes down to a late game carry face-off spirit will win 10/10 times

stone geode
#

maybe we see in UB finals

worn drift
#

Spectre will be carry of the tourny tho surely

#

Hero is too broken

stone geode
#

spectre looks super good

#

even if you sack it and go for other lanes it still does well and can come back

jolly crane
#

they misplayed like

#

2 fights

#

they didnt play well at all, agreed, but 9pandas kinda played perfectly and had no chance

#

lgd still had their safelane t1 minute 50

#

they were in total control of the game. they couldve still played a lot better, which is kinda scary

#

think the willow pos1 is less scary. i thought the brood was the more surprising pick and it did a lot of work

#

many of the current meta supports kinda suck against it

#

grim doesnt max stroke, willow, muerta, venge, treant, SD, AA

#

theyre all food for brood

#

sky too

stray yew
#

willow 1 is just cheesy coz you do stupid build for immunity

#

played into it bunch of time in pubs/with it when she got changed to universal

#

lmao people dying to tormentors still

jolly crane
#

ye

#

tbf

#

he wouldve lived

#

if ck didnt crit

stray yew
#

ye true

stone geode
jolly crane
#

rtz clown

#

looking forward to rtz retiring and the good players in this team becoming free agents

stone geode
#

whens the last time he was actually good

jolly crane
#

rtz gonna be zdps without any kind of attack speed

jolly crane
#

he was always overhyped

stray yew
#

you're wrong

#

he did change the game

#

as much as you might hate it

#

so did envy

#

they did change the game a lot

jolly crane
#

envy i agree

#

idk how rtz changed the game

#

people buying quelling vs natures?

stone geode
#

dont remember either

jolly crane
#

thats the only impact i can imagine him having

stone geode
#

I never rated him

#

also hes a cunt

stray yew
#

he did even now he was the one that brought muerta into pro play to begin with

jolly crane
#

he was always a t2 carry or mmid

stray yew
jolly crane
#

okay but

#

what does that have to do with him being a good player

#

if he brings it into the meta

#

and hten 5 other carries immediately play it better

#

envy wasnt a good player either. but he certainly affected how people approached the game, especially the math~y strategizing that he kinda started

#

and that aui took over

#

love how rtz buy maelstrom after aghs instead of before

#

to farm faster

stray yew
#

i know it was long time ago but 2013/14-2017 he was a top tier player

#

like we're talking top 5 at that time

#

with being probably best in that year where he got griefed by s4

#

in secret

#

dont remember what year that was

#

but it was year where they got knocked out because s4 is griefer on storm spirit

worn drift
#

They got thrashed in lane (pandas)

#

Kiyotaka lost a lane hes supposed to thrash

jolly crane
#

think people overestimate

#

how good od is in lane

#

hero got nerfed a lot

worn drift
#

Its od vs a melee hero

#

It is that good

stray yew
#

its a 60/40 lane in favour of od

#

according to sumail at least

worn drift
#

Hes supposed to delete him

humble yew
#

abed isnt playing Storm POG

jolly crane
#

its not at all an easy lane to win

#

to go even? sure

worn drift
#

Its a od vs melee match up lmao

stray yew
#

1st 5 level mag should be winning

jolly crane
#

but od isnt the lane dominator anymore that he used to be

stray yew
#

5 levels*

jolly crane
#

ye

stray yew
#

and then od should be winning

#

(according to sumail)

#

if you ask me i think he should be winning more

jolly crane
#

and mag can shove wave

#

im guessing its just a matchup

#

he wasnt used to

#

you dont see mag mid anymore at all

#

and few people play OD

stray yew
#

nts is better player than kiyotaka

jolly crane
#

but its not a lane thats just freewin

stone geode
#

shaker vs kunkka was also eh

#

for a last pick he didnt do well

jolly crane
#

well kunkka just demolsihes the shaker imo

#

but ye

stray yew
#

shouldnt shaker be winning melee matchups?

#

i dont know

stone geode
#

I mean they last picked shaker into it

jolly crane
#

@worn drift i agree, 9pandas lanes were horrible. but they played the mid and lategame as well as they could

stone geode
#

so they probably thought he wins that

jolly crane
#

kiyotaka not getting bkb was questionable

#

but they held out much longer than anybody thought they would after that laning stage

jolly crane
#

i think its another case of like

#

kunkka is just stronger on early levels

stray yew
#

i think shaker should be winning most melee matchups

#

i mean melee vs melee

stone geode
#

when kunkka gets 5 tidebringer is too low cd

jolly crane
#

problem in kunkka vs shaker matchup imo

#

is that you dont get ranged creep denies

#

another tormentor kill

stray yew
humble yew
jolly crane
#

i like the desolator

#

with 0 stacks

#

didnt he buy it like

#

20minutes ago?

#

that couldve been infinitely worse but fly hitting 3man stomp+splitter

stray yew
#

i swear this game

#

both teams

#

trying their best to lose

jolly crane
#

ye its legit

#

proper lower bracket game

stray yew
#

is it the classic bo1 first round

#

or is it bo3

#

actually

jolly crane
#

its bo3 ye

#

only good thing about this TI

#

no bo1s

humble yew
#

fights are hectic af

stone geode
#

bo1s are giga cringe

#

I dont mind this TI format

#

except the week long breaks

jolly crane
#

willow games will just all end up

#

being 60+ minute games i feel

#

unless it stomps

#

but pushing hg into willow is gonna be cancer

#

but you see the weakness of the willow carry in this game as well

#

its super immobile

#

and in this tanky meta, you just run on top of her

#

half the heroes you cant attack cuz they have blademail

rugged cipher
#

I like the na elimination bracket

#

All gone lb r3

stone geode
#

its like watching division 2 innit

stray yew
#

sr not even best NA

stone geode
#

they going home

jolly crane
#

this one doesnt have enough prizepool

manic ermine
#

Holding for the bigger prizepool

worn drift
#

Kekw did they really get 2-0’d

manic ermine
#

Nouns vs tsm will duke it out for the strongest NA team title

worn drift
#

Surely sr just disbands now

#

Surely

stray yew
#

notail just giggling

worn drift
#

Years of being together and just awful

stray yew
#

just send it

#

shuffle with nigma

worn drift
#

They had 1 wiff of a major and then got ?’d by emo and reverse swept

stray yew
#

nigma rtz sr kuroky

worn drift
#

Idk these old god teams are all awful

stray yew
#

they were decent team at that time but just lost

worn drift
#

Nigma, secret

#

Sr

#

Except nigma and secret have to play in europe

#

And sr has to play in na

#

So sr just hardstuck div 1 eliminated every tourny

stray yew
#

all im gonan say is

#

team taht was in final of qualifier in NA for TI

#

had fucking

#

funnik and dendi

worn drift
stray yew
#

actualy rank 1k players

#

in eu server

jolly crane
#

its kinda pathetic tho

#

considering what quality players SR have

#

and they just dont get anything done

#

i honestly believe, give this team a different coach and they can make a lot happen

#

i rarely wanna blame stuff on the coach or leader of a team, if they just play bad, but i feel that SR just needs new leadership. new ingame lead, and new coach

stray yew
#

i feel like its a broken record at that poiunt

#

coz its same shit for past 2-3 years

jolly crane
#

bulba

stray yew
#

their game philosophy is just behind for some reason

#

actual in game

jolly crane
#

ye

stray yew
#

even their drafts

jolly crane
#

theyre just not playing as a unit i feel

stray yew
#

arent bad

jolly crane
#

idk if theres just players that dont mesh

#

but both fly and crit have shown that theyre capable of being flexible, for example

#

and i cant imagine abed being the issue

manic ermine
#

They don't mesh as a team

stray yew
#

fly played rly well in both of these games tbh

#

but mabye its just he looked much better than others in contrast

manic ermine
#

Cr1t can be amazing but then vs team spirit he throws 4 fights in a row by dying first as tusk

worn drift
#

Sr needs rtz to go pos 3

#

Then they need a new coach

#

And a carry

#

Also maybe a new pos 5 but idk how much fly does in background

#

But bulba is a tumor on the teams ass

#

Rtz still has decent micro but his carry gaming just not it

#

Give him pure treatment

stray yew
#

either that or have rtz become more of utility carry

worn drift
#

But i swear their team is definition of β€œanother day in the office”

jolly crane
#

Idk

stray yew
#

get pos 1 from off ye

jolly crane
worn drift
#

Show up, shit their pants, leave

stray yew
#

i thought similarly

jolly crane
#

Imagine going out

#

In ti

#

In a game where no one even has 15k herodamage

worn drift
#

Yep

stray yew
#

i mean

#

this pushes base fast

jolly crane
#

Are you even trying at that point

#

Sure but crit said

#

When tsm hit their timing they didn't know what to do

stray yew
#

ah didnt listen was afk

jolly crane
#

Okay

#

What about the 20 minutes before

stray yew
#

i mean didnt moon say before the game

#

that he doesnt understand why they let them lycan last

#

when this guy is mega spammer

jolly crane
#

How hard is it to kill people with primal/sky/cent

stray yew
#

and famous for lycan

jolly crane
#

And they had

worn drift
#

Just not the meta for crit

jolly crane
#

4 days to prepare

#

For this match

worn drift
#

Hes a melee 4 guy

jolly crane
#

Then play that

#

We've seen shit like doom or clock 4

#

Tusk

worn drift
#

I wish more teams were willing to develop their own styles

#

Instead of just following

jolly crane
#

Earth spirit 4 works too

worn drift
#

Ye but bulba is a pepega

#

In his mind es is mid only now

#

Even tho he has a es spammer on his team

#

Instead of playing to their strengths just give him sky xdd

jolly crane
#

shopifys game theory is just

#

always behind

#

so they copy shit

#

half the time it seems they dont understand why it works

#

it just does

#

and often they dont seem to understnad how these heroes fit together, how to take objectives etc.

#

so when the new stuff fails, they revert back to what they know from the past

#

so abed plays a spirit hero or puck

#

rtz plays morph or tb

#

but they just dont make it work, idk

#

honestly, fly and saberlight played a good tourney

#

the rest was just afk

stray yew
#

but ye rtz didnt rly exist in the games i wanna say

#

if they won rtz happened to be in the game

#

crit had rly insane hoodwink too i remember

#

also his grim isnt that bad but idk

#

maybe its a sign he's gonna leave

jolly crane
#

@stray yew

stray yew
#

holy

#

but im also sorry for you

#

you're deaf now

worn drift
#

I hope nouns can level up in downtime after ti

#

Or maybe gunnar will leave try to find an eu team like quinn did

jolly crane
#

she wotn yell

#

but she already did

stone geode

HAHAAH

stone geode
#

willow pos1 is so bad

#

pls dont pick

worn drift
#

pakaz big noob

#

where is your octarine

#

thats like must buy

#

SKADI?

#

okay this guy is terrible

#

if you dont buy octarine on this hero you are shit

#

this is about to be

#

90 min game

stone geode
#

1 more aegis

stray yew
#

pointlessly extending the game pepeW

stone geode
#

if this pa wins the game

#

aint no way

#

dazzle xdd

jolly crane
#

that was some

#

insane teamfight execution from nouns

#

bristle just getting bullied

stray yew
#

is nouns throwing

#

or it doesnt matter

jolly crane
#

man

#

ngl

#

this meta is boring as fuck

#

when these teams play

#

its 10mins of action in the laning stage and then

#

everybody just farms up for 15min

#

until they have bkb/heart/whatever items

#

maybe its just NA dota

#

cis matches usually have a lot more brawling happening

#

16min since last kill

worn drift
#

its just matches with teams that aren't good

#

when ppl are shit they just resort to primal instinct

#

which is just going to pve for as long as they can afford to

worn drift
#

Nouns making thru another round

jolly crane
#

Ye

#

People shitting on them

#

As the worst na team

agile onyx
#

I laugh whenever K1 does the K1 thing

#

get two kills or deaths, and then afk farm for 30+ minutes

wraith scroll
#

This crowd be a little drunk.

#

All the random screams lmao.

worn drift
#

i dont get 9p

#

their drafts are sooooooooooooo bad

wraith scroll
#

They

#

are getting dunked on so bad rn

worn drift
#

they pick the same shit

#

ramzes played 3 carries the whole tourny

#

fuck is this

wraith scroll
#

Their bans are so good for ruining the already shit drafts of 9P.

#

GG, go next.

#

Free trip to the hotel!

worn drift
#

actual terrible team

#

only here cause betboom literally killed themselves

worn drift
#

waiting for last 3 days of the tourny tbh

#

these long breaks are aids

stone geode
#

what was this nouns tsm g1

humble yew
#

was out last night, 1st thing I see this morning is Shopify Rebellion out first round of LB icant

stray yew
humble yew
humble yew
#

well the rtz hate is getting old tbh

#

hes not alone at fault

plush pivot
#

he isn't but he is part of the team

#

it isn't really hate, he is just not good enough for that level of competition

humble yew
#

I dont agree

stone geode
#

I struggle to think of worse carries at this TI

#

but its mainly due to teamplay ofc, their placement is deserved

humble yew
#

I think very bad teamplay and draft makes you look 50% more ugly/bad

#

which is a SR issue for a while, camped on their picks, try to play textbook meta, fail

#

no true identity

plush pivot
#

this game reminds me of yesterday GG vs 9Pandas

stone geode
#

has to be a team change surely

humble yew
#

Lyrical HAPPY

stone geode
#

invoker having a real one

humble yew
#

hard time for brazil

worn drift
#

might be an entity win here

humble yew
#

take your bets lads

worn drift
#

nvm

#

mid tower gone at 5:50

humble yew
#

pugna gaming

worn drift
#

just getting chased around the map by massive sk and a pugna

jolly crane
#

still hate how much sk has turned into a sandstorm bot

stray yew
#

33 diff

stone geode
#

weaver is so fat

stray yew
#

ye weaver is going core items

#

this is mega giga stomp

jolly crane
#

feel like

#

this entity draft is super weak

stray yew
#

invoker didnt do anything

#

they have no mid laner

stone geode
#

invokers just get owned it seems

#

all the games

jolly crane
#

havent seen a core invoker do anything in the last 3years

stray yew
#

storm stormer has like

#

50k invoker games

jolly crane
#

ye

#

hero just isnt good in mid atm

#

imo

#

and he didnt even lane into one of the beefy str mids

stone geode
#

gpk got eaten alive last series too

stray yew
#

i mean its mega over

#

just call it

#

i know the gmae will last 15 minutes more because naga and they will secure a rosh or two

#

but ye its mega over

jolly crane
#

dont think so

#

think entity will tap out

#

in a few min

humble yew
stray yew
#

at least they have pugna

#

so they can push fast ish

jolly crane
#

i preferred the old SK design that was tailored around burrow

#

sandstorm SK is residentsleeper

#

naga wont be able to skip waves cuz pugna drain

#

just instakills

#

wait

humble yew
#

idk old design felt too dependent around aghanim too

jolly crane
#

shard drain isnt supposed to kill illusions is it

humble yew
#

it does?

jolly crane
#

looked like it did

humble yew
#

ah

jolly crane
#

maybe it was the ck illusions that just killed the naga ones

#

i actually looked this up cuz

#

i wasnt sure πŸ˜„

jolly crane
#

and not the +25 it got

humble yew
#

yeh it put the doubt in me because Im used to play with a lion main

#

and it always did

jolly crane
#

ye lion drain does

#

but pugna i wasnt sure

#

and wiki says it doesnt

#

smort play by entity

worn drift
#

dunno why sk not buying aghs

#

thats a really powerful aghs

jolly crane
#

its not that great against entity

#

since they dont wanna manfight anyway

#

still good but i can see why hed prefer the heart over it

humble yew
jolly crane
#

ngl i could never play naga

#

simply because id have to listen to 40-100minutes of perma riptide sound

humble yew
stray yew
#

if anything they need lotus lol

#

they dont have single disepl

#

and they have 2 hots

#

they just get urned/orchid

#

and die

worn drift
#

dunno im big fan of effects like torrent storm and sk aghs when game goes late enough

jolly crane
#

ink swell dispels

worn drift
#

short bkb

jolly crane
#

but ye

#

(with shard)

worn drift
#

peoples bkbs run out and then they get perma cc'd

stray yew
#

still that weaver should have lotus

#

and not glepnir

jolly crane
#

yep

worn drift
#

ye

#

its typical stomp game fuck up

stray yew
#

glepnir is legit grief

jolly crane
#

typical pos4 early game

#

i do that a lot as well

stray yew
#

maelstrom is ok

#

imo

jolly crane
#

you have insane early and then

#

buy core items

#

instead of using it to buy support items

#

and close out the game

worn drift
#

yep

jolly crane
#

that gleipnir couldve been

#

lotus and boots of bearing

worn drift
#

insane terrorize

humble yew
#

primal beast moment

worn drift
#

hitting a terrorize in moment like that while getting fucked

#

impressive

jolly crane
#

well

#

tundra choking

#

not gonna complain

worn drift
#

ye i dont believe in them as a team

stray yew
#

i dont believe in them after they lost to nouns ngl

stone geode
#

naga problem now

stray yew
#

only believing in 33

stone geode
#

think its entitys game to lose

stray yew
#

33 finished the video game

#

too good

#

if you ever do changes in tundra you never ever remove aui or 33

#

impossible to replace

worn drift
#

well first thing you wanna do is remove skiter asap

#

guy is straight garbage

stray yew
#

unless you have faith bian coming from retirement

worn drift
#

its like chrystalis with a couple more heroes in his pool

jolly crane
#

only other pos3 atm thats on his level imo

#

is niu

#

and that might just be a 1-patch-thing

stray yew
#

i mean collapse probably

jolly crane
#

ye

#

collapse/33/niu

#

you can see the difference

stone geode
#

its ogre

jolly crane
#

every game theyre top networth or top2

#

for entire game

worn drift
#

ye there are certain pos 3 players that are in another tier

#

bcuz you can actually rely on them to solo games on stuff like bristle

#

and they'll win lane most of the time and have giga impact

#

ye idk tundra are just a shit team?

#

lost to a tier 2 team and now losing to a tier 1.5 team

#

just kick skiter mid tournament and get someone from crowd honestly

#

naga should buy willow a moonshard

#

tundra dealing zdps

#

legit zdps

stray yew
#

ofc -20k nw

#

but ye they shouldnt ever lose this game

manic ermine
#

Focusing the primal with heart

worn drift
#

that was a nice emp tho

#

ck and sk both manaless for that fight

stray yew
#

aa has a heart

worn drift
#

pugna aghs now maybe

#

maybe dmg

#

skiter just terrible

#

i cant emphasize this enough

#

this guy is a 322 master

#

i swear this guy is like the worst pos 1 in the world past ~30 mins

#

he just buys bunch of items to not die then goes into a fight first, does no dmg, dies

humble yew
#

tundra is looking grim

worn drift
#

its just ti winner curse

humble yew
worn drift
#

spirit same deal ti11

humble yew
#

ye true it's a choke

worn drift
#

idk if weaver is worth picking outside of pos 1

#

the hero doesn't do anything past a certain minute

humble yew
#

idk even pos 1

#

lot of pos1 heroes do a lot better

worn drift
#

eh

#

idk after last patch theres like 2 pos 1 heroes that come to mind immediately that are like standout really good

#

ck and spectre

#

oh muerta as well but she can be countered pretty hard

manic ermine
#

By what?

worn drift
#

but fortunately she flexes into 4 which she is also good in

stray yew
#

centaur

worn drift
#

axe

manic ermine
#

Vs mediocre offlaners

worn drift
#

isnt centaur literal meta

#

primal also fucks on her

manic ermine
#

10-13 on centaur atm

jolly crane
#

they planned on pushing highground but then didnt

#

they stood in front of enemy base with 15k lead

#

top

#

then didnt push their advantage

manic ermine
#

Ursa unpicked

worn drift
#

anytime saberlight is picking a hero in tournament that winrate not gonna look good

manic ermine
#

I mean yatoro shredded centaur with muerta

stray yew
#

coz that team played bad

#

they never used centaur ult to run away from muerta ult

thorny fiber
#

spectre ult buff seems over the top, i already thought it was a good hero kekl

stray yew
#

whoever presses ult 1st = lose

#

its the same with grimstroke

manic ermine
#

Spec was 1 buff away from being broken

worn drift
manic ermine
#

And they buffed her ult

stray yew
#

they fixed/buffed (?) part where grimstroke ult was not going through debuff immunity

#

which was clearly a bug

#

that took 3 months to fix

worn drift
#

it makes no sense the hero is super busted

stray yew
#

and then they gave ink swell buff on top of that

worn drift
#

her only weak point is lane

stray yew
#

coz there is lots of busted shit in meta

#

that some people arent even considering banning/picking

#

kunkka is busted

#

earth spirit is busted

worn drift
#

i swear kunkka

stray yew
#

spectre is busted

#

ck is busted

worn drift
#

if game goes late enough

#

is so stupid

stray yew
#

(all of these are good 1st phase picks)

worn drift
#

idk how you counter 2x torrent storm

stray yew
#

bkb refresher lol

#

idk how else

manic ermine
#

Just burst the heart kunkka

thorny fiber
#

can gank more instead of just sitting lane

stray yew
#

oh ye there is bristle

thorny fiber
#

get assists

stray yew
#

trhat i didnt mention

thorny fiber
#

kills

stray yew
#

there is like 8 heroes that are easily 1st phasable

#

and are op

#

you cant pick it all kekdog

humble yew
#

enchantress smilers

stray yew
#

enchantress only some teams tbh

manic ermine
#

Ench might be the other op hero but you ban it vs specific teams

stray yew
#

oh ye aa too

#

so much op stuff

#

in this patch

worn drift
#

idk i feel like spectre makes your game real hard

#

like your supps haev to play super cautious and shit

manic ermine
#

Void looks bad this patch

worn drift
#

of course looks bad when ppl like midone and skiter pick it ICANT

thorny fiber
#

his pure dmg also helps vs some heroes

manic ermine
#

Cannot kill anyone in chrono

worn drift
#

this might be a 2-0

#

i swear after nouns 2-0'd them they all sat down and said "okay so were just going to pick skiter his signature ck if they let us and game should win itself"

#

and then they lost

thorny fiber
#

i like the reso comment about stormstormer, whenever i hear him talk about dota he just seems like he loves the game and always happy

#

even when he's losing

manic ermine
#

33 going heart was also grief

#

Imagine aghs instead of heart

stray yew
#

they just needed dispel

#

but ye lots of bad item choices

manic ermine
#

Lotus

stray yew
#

honestly

#

that game

worn drift
#

ye

manic ermine
#

Tundra just threw as a collective real bad

stray yew
#

weaver went too core items/pugna didnt go aghs/33 couldve done sth else

#

but if anything

#

im not blaming 33 LOLW

worn drift
#

ye hes least blameable that game for me

#

feel like he did his job as sk

manic ermine
#

I mean going heart into aa

#

It's already a meh item for sk

#

On top there's an aa

worn drift
#

its crazy cuz they lost that even with the insane early advantage they had lol

#

they had mid tower dead at 5:50

#

topson shit on invoker

stray yew
#

they just threw

#

game was over

#

but they have away full team wipe after raxing them

manic ermine
#

33 doom seems a bit despair

#

Granted 33 is the best doom player

worn drift
#

with little investment

#

guy was just q'ing it

#

that game should have ended at 20-25

stray yew
#

ofc

worn drift
#

like they are just absolute shit

#

idk how they win the game if the game state isn't in their favor

humble yew
#

tbf tundra struggled this season with the roster

#

saksa had to take a break

#

aui took his place

#

then topson

worn drift
#

classical mk mid to counter kunkka ig lol

stray yew
#

they did quite well in grps

#

its not that insane anymore honestly

worn drift
#

their group was the weakest group

#

by far

stray yew
#

i watched topson stream and he lost to kunkka in midlane as mk

worn drift
#

ye idk

#

losing lane super hard mid is hard nowadays

stray yew
#

its not that insane as some time ago

worn drift
#

water runes + supps help

stray yew
#

also could be mk 4

worn drift
#

doubt it

stray yew
#

or 3

humble yew
#

doom mid

#

mk 4

stray yew
#

nah probably not 3

#

for now

worn drift
#

altho kk might be 3 as well

stray yew
#

they could flex any hero to any role
