solid team imo
but overall feels like a bit of a downgrade for nts
lgd did really well considering 3 of their players were pretty damn new to t1 lan tourneys

Lgd should've stuck together imo
They needed time and could easily win next TI with more experience
Who is gonna fill the mid gap for lgd now I wonder

maybe the director will just
find another natural talent in this pubs

nvm
nts, planet, y and xiao8 are all leaving lgd

Lgd should've stuck together imo
apparently LGD is having money troubles
cuz their mainsponsor got banned in china (a betting site)
so they havent been paid in a while, and players like nts are very expensive

well he is banned
its just funny
how even his smurfs are like
4k behavior score
but he still vehemently claims its the systedm thats bad
humble yew
is he banned because hes racist or smthg?
jolly crane
mason has been a toxic piece of shit for pmuch a decade at this point
jolly crane
spampinging when someone makes a mistake, being passive or outright aggressive to people via coms
and ye, hes a bigot as well
last time he got temp-banned and called out for it his response was "stay mad, ill be back in 30days"
well
that was 4months ago
humble yew
lel
jolly crane
his smurfs are 4-5k behavior score as well
and the booster raised his score in unranked games in like 10 games
so clearly it cant be that hard to get behavior score up
humble yew
one less toxic piece of shit on the ladder
jolly crane
and on twitch
humble yew
true
manic ermine
is he banned because hes racist or smthg?
He was banned because he openly admitted his account got boosted for behaviour score

Stupid + moron, nice combo
I always knew he was a dick/bigot, heard stuff in the past but not this far
manic ermine
The ban doesn't do much tho
He's free to create another account
And he did
And his viewership went up
A bit like tyler 1 situation
rugged cipher
prolly lost skins etc collected over all of dota 2

He's free to create another account

Ppl were hyping up ames return but faith bian showing the real firepower
jolly crane
i wonder how many more tournaments nisha needs to get dumpstered before people stop hyping him up as the best mid of all time
jolly crane
listening to lacoste forcing puns into every minute of that series was also really fucking annoying
manic ermine
Lot's of great small plays in these teamfights from both teams
jolly crane
ye
i think
this is about the peak for liquid tho
once the cores of XG have some more farm and levels
the dazzle/oracle will not be nearly as safe
the ember almost solod the oracle and he only has mageslayer+shivas atm
manic ermine
Yeah liquid are trying to close it
stray yew
i wonder how many more tournaments nisha needs to get dumpstered before people s...
he did win 1v1 tournament 
but it just underlines how different from pure 1v1 playing midlane in a game is
not necessarily easier/more difficult just very different
stray yew
they cant kill dazzle
worn drift
Naga into dazzle cancer
stray yew
idk how draft went
but someone dropped the ball real hard
they had dazzle vs naga and into ember mid
worn drift
Ye
stray yew
you cant play melee matchup into dazzle period
exception being some weird picks like slark or idk what else
abadon maybe 
buit ye thats some weird as fuck picks
worn drift
The dazzle pick was basically gg
stray yew
ye it was insane
worn drift
They only win if they thrash them giga hard and win in 30
stray yew
they banned huskar/puck to protect ember
i guess you just dont ban puck and take the L on that
worn drift
Rather play vs puck than dazzle
stray yew
and ban dazzle instead idk
huskar is mega cheese pick but they had oracel already
so fair play to that i suppose
worn drift
You can’t allow a mid lane pick that makes your carry unplayable and counters your mid
And also is dazzle
Grave is still grave
stray yew
tbh they were planning to go naga already
you can at least root puck in song
with naga
its not that insane tho i think
he can just phase shift anyway
i think it was still recoverable but that last fight even that ember isnt even going backline
no idea why
and he has the item build to go backline? he did go for nulli
xg gonna do the 'prime eg' performance
do decent in grp into 0-2 0-2 in brackets
worn drift
LMAO
worn drift
Nah nah prime eg is be regarded as top team then go against IG in finals, be up 2-0 then get 2-3’d
Then just be a meme team after that point in time until you disband
stray yew
there is fresh interview with ppd where he kinda hinted how they kicked him around ti6/7 time from eg and not a single player ever won anything after
i mean interview is mostly about org stuff, not rly ingame stuff related
but he mentions that part
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vo9tTw8xDHI&ab_channel=RichardLewis if you're interested, 27:30 or so is the part where he talks about getting kicked and ho they never ever achieved anything after that
meanwhile he assembled reject kinda team like optic which currently has multiple major winners/ti winners/ti finalists lmao
and even won a major with them i think
stray yew
@jolly crane did you see that bottom 
he gets double naded
and no reaction
at laest they did kill mid
in my game we'd be just hitting creep camps while this is happening
manic ermine
Ar back to carrying China
rugged cipher
just that ar that won esl kuala lumpur is xg 
or is it the 2 teams with same owners and thats why they keep swapping between teams
worn drift
Xtreme EG’d it
jolly crane
game1 they just got outpicked on that lastpick dazzle, but game2 they shouldnt have lost imo
just kinda lost 1 fight and then tilted out of the tournament from there
stray yew
naa it was all fy
biggest mvp ever
the amount of times i saw saving tosses or teamfight changing tosses towards troll so he can ult
or even near rosh fight where he threw dk towards timber so he could just nuke him
jolly crane
biggest mvp ever
oh for sure
that 5man avalanche
when rubick tossed him in
its fun to see the OGs still carrying games like this
but ori seems most comfortable on storm so far
most other heroes i felt he was kinda underwhelming
jolly crane
ye
AR seem to have their number completely
and faith bian brew is just a menace
think brew is still one of the most overpowered heroes in dota
if you ahve a really good player on it
stray yew
id just kick lou and get ame
jolly crane
hahaha ye
stray yew
even tho he's playing well this series
but previous series idk
his slark was rly bad
stray yew
i dont even know if its that
jolly crane
hes noit as consistent as ame or yatoro
stray yew
i think his hero pool is not keeping up
coz his troll was good always
but then his slark is always underwhelming
so i guess just not enough comfort on some of meta heroes
jolly crane
ye
stray yew
they're utilising TA traps real well
jolly crane
big heropool is always what made yatoro a god carry
ye theyre playing this TA
as a puck counter
its kinda sick
stray yew
og counter
but ye shard made it even better
i forget they have timber in this game
but game 1 was just bad last pick
stray yew
whoever played dk in their team was just cocky
and got reality checked
'ye sure i can play dk into lion/timber'
jolly crane
ye
idk i just lve watching
good brews
yatoro
cant do shit
that troll
got kited hard
stray yew
ye typical troll gameplay
stray yew
ye idk why they try fighting with no troll/no panda ult
stray yew
brooch
jolly crane
could almost get hex in this game
stray yew
but ye could just go sth like
jolly crane
just need to enable troll
jolly crane
or at least abyssal or smth
jolly crane
oris target selection in these fights is really damn good
he recognized after last fight
tiny is the problem
so now he just chased down the tiny
so he cant disrupt their fight
didnt kill him but didnt have to
jolly crane
but was good intiiation
stray yew
look at x hero and he has idk mobility issues
jolly crane
AR was behind the troll but he just evaporated
stray yew
and they just put it in shard
how about
some heroes just should be weak for x part of the game
and let it be
jolly crane
ye
stray yew
jolly crane
we used to like
have heroes double down on what theyre good at
and keep their weaknesses
instead weve kinda moved away from that balancing wise
and lots of heroes have hteir weaknesses fixed
through aghs shard or scepter
and i dont really think thats a good idea
collapse doesnt have a game
stray yew
i think ar will just lose
jolly crane
but i trust
stray yew
coz their panda isnt scaling whatsoever
jolly crane
in yatoro morph
stray yew
he needed midas or radi on panda
stray yew
he's just gonna fall behind
jolly crane
once he hits 25
stray yew
its insane how 12k nw panda is doing 100 times more than 17k timber tho
jolly crane
ye
jolly crane
its why i think brew is op hero
cuz he also farms well
doesnt need items to have impact
good game tho
lots of respect given in the plays they make
think fy got str morph now
jolly crane
ye theyre kinda
giving ab it too much respect atm
with that shivas pickup
i think they wanna finish their double hex first
stray yew
i swear they dont have a pos 5 in this game
0 ice blasts connecting entire game
but ye buyback and no split so they will just lose rosh now
imagine if he had +1 item with midas
if he had refresher now
jolly crane
spirit usually has superior vision but theyre struggling a bit this game cuz of TA traps
mexican standoff
stray yew
shivas is a stupid item too now
thats one of items thats getting a nerf should a patch happen
jolly crane
this puck is just
stray yew
than hitting a net when you play troll
jolly crane
so miserable
jolly crane
he did
but its still
the silences are so fucking nasty
ori really showing up for them this tourney i feel. i never really thought of him as like a toptier mid, especially in china
when theres players like nts/maybe
iceblast complete whiff again
stone geode
havent watched any dotka in a long time
jolly crane
troll was already dead
stray yew
to kh anda
jolly crane
and had aegis
jolly crane
couldve hit the iceblast when he respawns
jolly crane
ye ig
think AR just too far ahead with that aegis
they needed to get a pick in that rosh fight but
they dont have the heroes
cuz puck has no game
and that timber isnt doing anything to initiate a fight
jolly crane
ye
yatoro just cant connect to any hero in this fight
you play into
3.5k hp rubick, ta, brewlings and troll
kinda hard to get a pick there
but ye just felt both games larl couldnt play dota
again ta shard just
too powerful
stone geode
gege
stray yew
its joever
i mean game 1 its his fault
he picked into 2 hard counters
its like that bike meme
jolly crane
hahaha ye
get somnus in for mid
ame as pos1
definitely felt like that brew basically existed
just to carry the early and midgame
with that greedy ass ta+troll draft
so he did his job on brew i feel
if they dont have a brew, i think puck/morph/timber just run over their cores in minutes 15-30
manic ermine
Spirit not bringing their A game this tournament for sure
jolly crane
no magerslayer for iether team
surprised
usually every hero seems to be getting one
manic ermine
It is nice to see that top teams are different ones this time (besides liquid)
humble yew
a recital
jolly crane
that aa+tiny just didnt do much
tiny did enough but like
once the rubick got str morph stolen once
the tiny had no target anymore
cuz techies was just standing in fog
and TA shard just completely messed with larls game to the point he needed to go blink into bkb
humble yew
stray yew
falcons in some good form
but my take is their picking is kinda cheesy coz they basically have 2x ammars
and people havent picked up on it yet as much?
im not sure how i feel about it
their midlaner is basically ammar 2.0
same behavior, also some stupid huskar heropool lmao
stray yew
@jolly craneare you watching?
this sven pick looks horrible to say the least
why would they wanna play sven into furion
legit furion counters your hero alone i feel like
sven is a hero that is very item slots starved so he gets one sprout and he's done in a teamfight
stray yew
i guess ye
but fuck me
idk why sprout isnt reworkded at this point
toxic concept
early game basically everyon needs to have quelling
biggest problem is his w is so overtunedf
he gets free damage/armour when he uses it
because having global presence with this big of a map isnt enough i guess
think ill play furion today actually
send it
my last furion game legit 10 years ago
jolly crane
haha
ye prophet is dumb
even just at lv1
if you dont go sprout for some reason
you just use teleport
and have 80 dmg
at lv1
with a very low BAT
jolly crane
why do they go
stray yew
its just so obnoxious sometimes
stray yew
some stuff is so opressive for so long
and doesnt get patched
for ages
like mage slayer/doom/furion now are extremely opressive
or meepo
and this shit doesnt get patched for months
stray yew
i mean doom is even more stupid prolly
but its just always 1st banned
noone wants to play into it ever
stray yew
its pure too
jolly crane
too imbalanced
jolly crane
either that or
stray yew
like it blocks your regen
stray yew
and silences you for idk
jolly crane
for 30 seconds
stray yew
15 seconds?
the only hero thats fine vs it is medusa maybe
coz stick actually helps you
stray yew
because they just get more gold than other heroes on the map
because of how they work
and its just unfair right
always very problematic heroes
jolly crane
ye
ive always hated alch
and arc warden
cuz they force you to play a different game
stray yew
arc has some fucked up mechanic now
where he has different spell depending on what team you're in
his ghosts explode faster if you're dire or sth like that
and idk what he does in radiant
jolly crane
the fuck
stray yew
that some of his spells work a little bit different depending which side you're in
jolly crane
is just outdraft imo
stray yew
i mean they have gold on sven
jolly crane
they have prophet/alch/venge
stray yew
but its a sven
jolly crane
which can just omega stack
jolly crane
was a bit unfortunate
stray yew
his bkb ends and its just over
stray yew
ye they lived on 0
jolly crane
the entire game is different
stray yew
and lvl 2
jolly crane
its like that one TI game
where 33 gets chainlightning on doom
with 4 mangos
at lv1
jolly crane
and that just wins the lane
based
blink reveal into double kill is
big value
i still think
stacking is too strong
being able to double-stack in most parts of the jungle is just stupid imo
not quite sure
how AR is winning these fights
jolly crane
well tbf
AR just has waaaay better supports
for these teamfights
prophet just kinda weak
and venge doesnt do much either
the minus armor kinda doesnt do anything vs sven
and then you just have swap
vs SD+lion
stray yew
i dont understand whats going on
this makes no sense
its hard playing wr into sd i guess
1 more teamfight
if ar doesnt win next teamfight its joever
sven will just fall off
jolly crane
ye the WR is getting too big i feel
but was just disjointed fight
and ori had aegis but didnt commit
pussied out instead and i think that lost them the fight
jolly crane
well
jolly crane
instead of dispelling the WR
stray yew
its just over
stray yew
sven is trash
stray yew
its night and he doesnt see them
stray yew
imagine if he is slark
jolly crane
ye
stray yew
and he can just slowly creep around
jolly crane
night vision too strong
stray yew
doesnt preview for some reason
its like i played pub yday where i had morph/arc/dk
you feel so comfy playing game like taht, can just afk farm and you win by default
was same this game for liquid
you just win by default with every minute that goes by
thats avg sven lineup for you
the lvl of execution you gotta pull off
is just incomparable to the enemy team
thorny fiber
first real tournament where liquid has 33?
jolly crane
this liquid draft looks obnoxious as fuck to play into
stray yew
ye enigma is still stupid
jolly crane
that krobelus will be unkillable in midgame
stray yew
unless you have some gyro type hero ye
to play into it
love denying creeps from 50% to 0 in one shot
stray yew
tbf gyro is insanely good pick this game
stray yew
gyro is one of few carries that can play into the big teamfight ult bs
stray yew
ye they do obnoxious damage idk
also you know whats funny
the spawn eidolons cost % current health
jolly crane
idk why these fuckers
jolly crane
but theyre too tanky
jolly crane
to be killed by 1 set of spells now
stray yew
it takes 3 hits
stray yew
also that hero buys insta vlads
so they are justunkillable once that happens
lmao malrine
he's legit cloned ammar
wtf is malrine doing
legit his last 2 deaths
he feeds in random place ok sure only he dies
and now he baits 2 of his teammates into shit position
go tip and allchat more m8
jolly crane
ye idk why he keeps doing that
its actually annoying at this point
his fucking ")" after every kill he makes
then feeds for 5 minutes
potm shard still seems absolutely awful
jolly crane
ye
and hes the only one doing it
its not like OG where everybody was spamming voicelines
and i found that obnoxious as well
but hes just doing the same shit all the time
hitting the single ) after a few kills
not even big plays or anything
not impressed by boxis io so far
stray yew
first real tournament where liquid has 33?
ye think so
previous lan they played they had saberlight standin
jesus that relo
jolly crane
idk
why do you pick io
when you dont relocate
like, ever
he had like
30seconds
to relocate that DP
to safety
stray yew
im pretty sure
dp with 6 items + agh blessing + eaten moonshard does less than dk with lvl 18 and mage slayer/aghs/manta
actual no 🧢
stray yew
especially this game
jolly crane
i dont like this micke build
stray yew
coz they have 0 illusion counters
jolly crane
i think the armlet is completely wasted item
jolly crane
40min still no basher/abyss
stray yew
they should be menace on the map
jolly crane
ye
stray yew
force enemy team to 5 man
jolly crane
but they have no lockdown either
stray yew
and we saw 1 or 2 relos entire game
jolly crane
but ye i think this io is just
compeltely misplayed
no relocate save even on really obvious positions
what was that relocate
LMAO
youre there with 5 people
all stacked
enemy afraid to go into you
humble yew
looks like me playing wisp
jolly crane
and you relocate into... what, a potm? lmao
humble yew
jolly crane
she just leaps away
DK flies over the trees
whiel the mars arenas your 2 playmakers
stray yew
but ye its joever anyway
jolly crane
io nonexistant this game
stray yew
i hope teams start banning dk
or picking lion/timber
coz that hero is unplayable otherwise
jolly crane
funny cuz DK used to be liquid firstpick
every game
doom and chen 100% banrate this tourney?
