buoyant sage

vital pollen

vital pollen
torn girder
buoyant sage
#

they didnt ban Marci

torn girder
#

EU is shit in that game too

buoyant sage
#

hehe

vital pollen
#

rocky moon
#

NA never does good period

So na only shit

buoyant sage
versed matrix
#

so many games played before I wake up 😿

torn girder
#

Dw mostly 1-1

buoyant sage
#

I like SA teams tho

rocky moon
torn girder
#

Lgd looks weaker than probably expected

rocky moon
#

He will drag eg down once again

vital pollen
#

well

#

thats like 3 ganks now

#

where someoen lives

#

with 10hp

torn girder
#

Og looks good

#

Spirit looked okay

buoyant sage
torn girder
#

Eg gonna go undefeated in groups but then get knocked out in 2 series in playoffs

vital pollen
#

lgd not awake yet

#

doing the weirdest shit

versed matrix
#

xinq wash his face yet?

torn girder
#

The abed storm spirit meme exists for a reason

buoyant sage
#

morphling

vital pollen
#

0-14

rocky moon
#

It looks over already, doesn’t it

versed matrix
#

just limit testing

torn girder
#

Uhhh ye

#

Being down 0-14

#

With slark in your draft

#

Thats just a wrap

vital pollen
#

well now we know what happens

#

when you give the enemy team the best pos1, 3, 4 and 5 hero in the meta

torn girder
#

Dunno if void is best pos 1

vital pollen
#

yeah

#

even after the lv20 talent nerf

#

just the strongest lategame carry and with the buffs to time dilation hes strong in lane too

#

comeback time

rocky moon
#

Damn

#

Couldn’t keep 0 kill count

versed matrix
#

yeah, no

vital pollen
#

ye

#

lgd gonna get one more kill then call gg

#

for 3-22 scoreline

torn girder
#

222

#

322*

#

Surely xiao8 is just experimenting

vital pollen
#

id say so ye

#

you dont give away those heroes

rocky moon
#

You are slightly ahead, Armenian internet is quite shit sadly

vital pollen
#

i mean

#

obs just keeps disconnecting

#

and sound too

#

🙂

torn girder
#

Ye

rocky moon
#

Russian cast is flawless

vital pollen
#

typically has been ye

#

whenever esl or pgl had major production problems

#

rucast often had no issues

#

but yeah its crazy how this match would be completely different if abed doesnt get away mid with 10hp twice

#

with regen bottled up

rocky moon
#

Nice escape

vital pollen
#

well....

#

how?

#

imagine EG mental if they somehow lose this game

rocky moon
#

LOL typically Arthur

torn girder
#

Lgd comeback time

rocky moon
#

Why teams keep rtz around I don’t get

vital pollen
#

its a symbiotic relationship

#

with bulba

#

they both protect each other

#

rtz/Abed like bulba cause bulba lets them play the heroes they want to play

#

and bulba likes these people cause hes a trash drafter but gets to stay in a "top" org as a result

#

lgd doing a good job skipping waves tho

#

eg rarely in a position to press their advantage

rocky moon
#

Poor puck

vital pollen
#

i mean its good tho

versed matrix
#

bkb 1st item on pos 4 💤

vital pollen
#

enigma using the BH to drop him multiple times

#

ame is farming really well despite the 3 deaths

torn girder
#

Ye

#

Always impressive to watch him and yatoro somehow pull stuff like this off in abysmal games

vital pollen
#

EG is getting these kills but theyre not really getting anything out of it

#

y solokills rtz in the base

torn girder
#

Lmfao

#

Lich solo

#

Tbh dont see why primal beast could have not been pos 3 and doom 4

vital pollen
#

if nts doesnt chicken out there

rocky moon
#

lol

#

much skill

vital pollen
#

this is probably game now

#

cause they can finally push highground with chrono+blackhole

torn girder
#

This primal would have probably had more impact as 3 and doom would have had same impact as 4

#

Just blink doom

#

All hes done all game

#

His nw giving him little actual influence on the game

vital pollen
#

EG is just getting outplayed

#

on the map

#

their lane pressure is just non existant

#

top lane never goes beyond the river

#

bot lane is w/e

#

11-34, 1k networth difference

torn girder
#

Russian caster saying it correct

#

Wtf is fly doing

#

Go break smokes dumbass

vital pollen
#

ye

versed matrix
#

fly playing carry this game

vital pollen
#

crit as well

torn girder
#

Why is he afk in top jungle

#

Like are you high or

vital pollen
#

both support should break smokes so much more

#

but instead they think

#

"i have a good game, got bkb on marci i carry now"

versed matrix
#

yeah thats what I was thinking

#

why is ember frontlining in an obvious smoke

#

just a few secs before

torn girder
#

Yea dunno

#

Fly literally afk in top jungle lmao

vital pollen
#

its funny when you compare

#

how nts just takes all the attention

#

in the early and mid

#

baits chronos/blackholes on himself

#

so the rest of the team can safely push out the sidelanes

versed matrix
#

lvl 21 top radiant nw

#

whats the self doom thing?

buoyant sage
#

aghanim

versed matrix
#

you doom yourself and its aoe aura?

buoyant sage
#

aoe doom around him

#

yeh

versed matrix
#

didnt see the 1st game but eg got quite outplayed in a lot of places this game

buoyant sage
#

OG running like monkeys

#

as usual

vital pollen
#

EG is struggling to keep their lanes pushed

torn girder
#

Ye this game taking too long

buoyant sage
#

they dived T3 earlier, with T2 still up

#

LMAO

vital pollen
#

they get a bunch of these solo kills with their big ults

#

but it doesnt matter

versed matrix
#

no lane/base pressure all game

vital pollen
#

you have puck/slark/primal just clearing waves

#

theyre sitting in triangle with 4heroes

#

with blackhole ready

#

while LGD farms all 3 lanes

versed matrix
#

xd

rocky moon
#

god on rtz

buoyant sage
#

tbh I always loved rtz

rocky moon
#

He is bad

buoyant sage
#

idk I watched his stream when he had like 200 viewers tops

versed matrix
#

I always thought he was cringe

buoyant sage
#

always like him

versed matrix
#

and im glad hes never won anything

rocky moon
#

Inconsistent and most games useless

buoyant sage
#

didnt say he was good rn

#

but I like the guy

#

idk

rocky moon
#

Sure

#

As a person I have nothing against him

#

But as a playa he is a meme

buoyant sage
#

Im just almost sure that he lost a lot of level when he switched from mid to carry

#

but thats only a feeling, just feels like it

versed matrix
#

how is puck top nw

vital pollen
#

guess we need an update

tender fox
#

Did they just get 3 BB for nothing

vital pollen
#

ye

#

its over

buoyant sage

yuragi 300 agi on Slark

#

essence shift stonks

rocky moon
#

50 minutes of fun as a viewer

torn girder
#

How did ame get randomly caught

#

In mid

buoyant sage
#

they only win because they have 2 insane teamfight spells lmao

#

EG style

torn girder
#

When doom made move on fv

vital pollen
#

he just got refresher blackholed

torn girder
#

Meme game

vital pollen
#

the fact they came back from that and almost won kekdog

torn girder
#

Xiao8 making bets looks like

vital pollen
#

and like

#

it was super close in so many situations

#

if they get a bit lucky on some of these ganks

#

theyre super fine

torn girder
#

Og successfully beating the morph

#

Nice

buoyant sage
#

yee

vital pollen
#

i just wanna watch more maybe

torn girder
#

Diffusal early pressure carry is good answer to morph i think

vital pollen
#

i think our naga predictions

#

are gonna be on the money already

buoyant sage
#

true

#

saw it coming

#

played against a naga the other day

#

what a pain in the ass

#

been so much time I played against that hero

torn girder
#

What naga prediction

buoyant sage
#

mmh highest LH or GPM i dont remember

#

in a game, and avg

torn girder
#

Ah ye

buoyant sage
#

top 5 banned heroes so far

#

I get the Batrider ban, hero is a pain and quite strong these days

#

But isn't it hard counter VS shit like SD or Abba

vital pollen
#

just does very well against a lot of common mid heroes atm

#

so no mid wants to play vs it

errant tusk
#

bat is too abusive on lane

buoyant sage
#

Yeh I get it too but Idk I always pick shit like SD, Abbadon and such

vital pollen
#

in mid/lategame

#

theres lots of things against it

errant tusk
#

abba is trash 5

vital pollen
#

its just too strong in lane

buoyant sage
#

Abba pos 3 Clueless

tender fox
#

Isnt bat often just played in side lanes now?

torn girder
#

Nah its an abusive laner

buoyant sage
#

neh it's mid

torn girder
#

Just gets a good game most of the time then just solo’s the game

buoyant sage
#

shit speedruns lvl 10

#

and burns you

torn girder
#

The counters are usually trash as sebek said

#

Abba is trash rn

buoyant sage
#

SD isnt that trrash tho

#

Abba is okay

#

as a support I mean

torn girder
#

Sd situational i think

buoyant sage
#

yeh idk, you get to save team mate + ulti over bkb

#

depends on your setup as a team too ig, as usual

torn girder
#

Problem isn’t even the lasso necessarily if the bat isn’t shit you have no mid laner for the game

buoyant sage
#

true

torn girder
#

Theres a lot of matchups you just can’t play the game lol

#

Pretty much any melee

#

Might as well go jungle

buoyant sage
#

slark does well only cause he can purge himself lul

#

well, it does okay

#

not well

#

morphling again

#

aaah

#

it's been 2 months in a row Im instant banning it in game

#

every game

torn girder
#

Lol i like how spirit drafts

#

All 5 huddled up

Around 1 screen

buoyant sage
#

lesggooo

tender fox
#

gorp tierlist KEKW

torn girder
#

Disrespectful list

vital pollen
#

bat is just annoying as fuck

#

cause he just rushes travels

#

witchblade

#

and then he does

#

5million dmg

#

with napalm+firefly+witchblade

torn girder
#

Gorp probably constructed this list after watching lgd go 1–3 first 2 series

errant tusk
#

has movement through cliffs and bkb piercing disable

#

abusive on lane

#

full package

versed matrix
#

enchantress pos5 🐸

torn girder
#

Holy fuck miposhka

errant tusk
#

ye pure played good but then kinda bad

#

coz i assume he played for bb

#

but after bb Despair

vital pollen
#

somnus 1man show again

errant tusk
#

too many games

vital pollen
#

ye

errant tusk
#

new patch

#

ammar still plays razor

vital pollen
#

they basically have

#

a pos5 antimage carry

#

but maybe doesnt care

#

1-5 AM

versed matrix
#

spirit looking pretty good

#

liquid losing 2-0 to na?

torn girder
#

Spirit looks pretty good ye

errant tusk
#

its liquid factor

torn girder
#

Their 1 loss was pretty close too

errant tusk
#

sometimes play good sometimes play bad

torn girder
#

Ye idk only convincing weu team there is is og rn

#

Others can either shit on opponent or get rolled 2-0 in 1 hour real quick

buoyant sage
#

OG vs Spirit in finals

torn girder
#

Maybe

buoyant sage
#

100% EU dotka

errant tusk
#

not rly that suprising tho that og/spirit look solid

buoyant sage
errant tusk
#

they looked solid throughout entire season

#

lgd has rly slow start

buoyant sage
#

yes sir

torn girder
#

OG young roster might crack under pressure on stage

errant tusk
#

they were 3rd one everyone would expect to do well

torn girder
#

But they’ve won majors already

errant tusk
#

they already won major

#

so i think they're allright

torn girder
#

But major isnt ti

#

Ti is its own beast

errant tusk
#

they have ceb/notail behind

torn girder
#

Ye

errant tusk
#

not saying the wont crack

buoyant sage
#

cant wait to watch these two face each other anyway

#

if the stars are aligned

torn girder
#

I am hoping lgd makes a better showing

#

Would be a shame for them to fall even before grand final

buoyant sage
#

ye china is under represented

torn girder
#

Nah lgd is just highly revered

#

High skill high discipline

#

Just good gameplay always

vital pollen
#

just maybe things

torn girder
#

Betboom is meme team

#

Honestly disgusting they get in over like

#

Vp

vital pollen
#

i mean

torn girder
#

But tbh cis is trash region rn

vital pollen
#

they beat them

#

3-0

torn girder
#

Spirit is the only real team

#

Ye

#

Ik

vital pollen
#

but yeah that AM did nothing this game

torn girder
#

But boom is a trash team

#

Cis is just a trash region rn

errant tusk
#

nah vp is a good team i think

torn girder
#

Extremely inconsistent besides like spirit

vital pollen
#

ghost still trying to throw the game

errant tusk
#

just their players are morons

#

babies

#

gpk is a human garbage

#

good at the game

#

but he is someone you'd haven o issues punching irl

#

over his internet warrior shit

#

vp never lacked skill

#

when you think about it

#

even their old golden team with noone/solo/ramzes

#

where they won lots of majors but fell short on tis it was always in their heads and still is

vital pollen
#

like

#

i lowkey just want maybe to win TI

#

hahahah

#

look at him

#

with the fucking

#

cat-ear headphones

errant tusk
#

ill be very suprised if vp lineup sticks together

#

bound to make some changes LULE

vital pollen
#

this is what peak performance looks like

errant tusk
#

im very glad someone finally picked titan into morph

#

how can you be this stupid to never do it

#

i dont understand

vital pollen
#

yeah

errant tusk
#

you cant play morph into that

#

it feels so trash

vital pollen
#

im guessing youll see it more from the teams

#

that can actually play ET on pos 3-5

#

theres a few

errant tusk
#

but yea morph/sf/slark/faceless void are 4 best carries right now

#

for sure

vital pollen
errant tusk
#

add pudge to that list maybe

vital pollen
#

fml

errant tusk
#

are teams stupid or what

#

why do they let marci go through 1st phase

#

ever

#

im amazed anyone is doing it

vital pollen
#

yeah

torn girder
#

Dunno

vital pollen
#

enigma as well

#

youd think

torn girder
#

People testing if they can beat things

vital pollen
#

marci/enigma are 100% ban

errant tusk
#

hopefully its only testing

#

coz i think marci/enigma are beyond broken

#

but marci especially

#

at least enigma you can a little bit adress

#

but marci is even a flex

#

can be played for 2-3-4-5 position, maybe even 1 if you rly want to

vital pollen
#

why is this streamed on pgl streams btw

#

and not TI?

tight sluice
#

wasn't marci played 1 in LCQ?

versed matrix
#

wtf is this liquid game

tight sluice
#

hero is nutty

errant tusk
#

maybe it was

#

it can be played from any position pretty much

#

but 3 is best

versed matrix
#

cant really farm as pos1 no?

errant tusk
#

it just fights fast i guess

#

but yea it doesnt flashfarm

torn girder
#

Not as fast

#

But ye you just fight

versed matrix
#

you dont build farming items either

#

just fight

errant tusk
#

you build alwayts same items

torn girder
#

The character presses ult and kills people

errant tusk
#

bkb/basher

torn girder
#

It is ridiculous

errant tusk
#

strongest powerspike in entire game

#

maybe if you play 1 you build armlet aswell before?

#

for extra burst

#

dont know

#

maybe not good coz you delay your bkb

torn girder
#

I think its not good pos 1 but if you have to flex maybe

#

Best as a greedy supp

#

The sidekick spell is stupid op too

#

I remember watching an mk get sidekicked and boundless a wave

#

And full heal

errant tusk
#

na its not that good 1

#

but you could flex

#

people played dawn 1 last TI too

#

which wasnt ideal

#

but worked for them

torn girder
#

I like dawn 1 more than marci 1

#

The way they played dawn 1 was really dope

#

It was mostly vp

errant tusk
#

ye it was vp

torn girder
#

They’d play wisp storm

#

Really cool global strat

#

3 members of your team can just be where ever whenever

vital pollen
#

the saddest part about marci is

#

that the shard is really good

#

but people dont play it a lot

#

crit played it earlier against LGD and it kinda saved them the game

torn girder
#

Ye

#

Got the chrono on slark

vital pollen
#

in a few teamfights as well

#

helped get people out of dooms aoe

torn girder
#

Spirit setting up either acquiring morph or fv for cataclysm

vital pollen
#

lesh aghs needs a nerf

torn girder
#

Fv YEP

versed matrix
#

void invoker

#

big pog

torn girder
#

Hope they ban morph

#

Morph seems like pure cancer to play against

#

As void

#

You chrono the guy then he shifts strength and you do nothing

#

Plus you have 1 less item of attack speed cause he has aghs and he morphed you

#

Ok good morph banned

tender fox
#

Seli, BB best team PEPW

alpine wren
#

was bored and made this

#

nyx is the best

tight sluice
#

yatoro

buoyant sage
#

I may know the next location of TI

#

will be announced tomorrow apparently

tender fox
#

Stockholm

buoyant sage
#

no

#

but it's a EU country

versed matrix
#

good viewing times at least

#

is it going to be in oct again?

buoyant sage
#

I just know the city

#

close friend of mine is a freelance technical director and knows a lot of production studios

errant tusk
#

eg og

#

that could be decentg game

burnt basin
#

anyone watching TI?

buoyant sage
#

ofc

burnt basin
#

EG looking seriously strong

buoyant sage
#

in the group stage

#

they almost threw X times against psg

#

they will at some point anyway

burnt basin
#

i mean, i dont remember the last tie that EG actually got wins that convincingly

#

those throws can be adjusted

#

rtz in rare form is what i mean

#

though i guess theri drafting does seem better than in the past

#

its crazy how different games look if primal beast in not in the game though

#

it is day and night

errant tusk
#

i mean gotta give eg credit

#

they're doing good

burnt basin
#

yes

buoyant sage
#

not saying they're trash

errant tusk
#

its only 1st day of grp stage ofc

burnt basin
#

primal does not look like a dota hero....

errant tusk
#

so not getting too excited

buoyant sage
#

but its 1st day of ti

#

group stage

#

we know EG

burnt basin
#

all his abilities could be ultimates

errant tusk
#

tbh winning games 2-0

#

means a lot

burnt basin
#

yes

errant tusk
#

most of the games should be ties

burnt basin
#

im gonna be on the puppey copium train till he wins his second

#

and i do think nisha is the best player in the world

errant tusk
#

but yea hopefully lgd picks up after slow start

buoyant sage
#

they only won against PSG because they had chrono+black hole

#

they almost lost that game

errant tusk
#

still even 1-1 vs lgd

#

you'd take that blindly

#

before tournament

buoyant sage
#

absolutely

burnt basin
#

tbh

errant tusk
#

everyone expected lgd to dominate and have close to perfect score

#

same for og/spirit

burnt basin
#

u just want to have them on the other side of the bracket come playoffs

#

cause i dont see lgd losing before winners bracket finals

#

thats why i think EG is kind of a dark horse

#

and given the fact that drow is also good this patch

errant tusk
#

grp stage is all about upper bracket only

#

so you have 2 chances

burnt basin
#

and rtz is one of the better drow players

#

they can go far

errant tusk
#

after you go into playoffs you have to beat everyone anyway

burnt basin
#

technically thats not true

#

u just have to win 3 matches

#

u can be in the grand finals after 3 bo3s

#

which is crazy

buoyant sage
#

arent regular bo3 tho

#

high pressure and high level

burnt basin
#

i mean sure but u dont have ot play everyone

#

its how chinese teams have been doing it

#

ist how OG won ti9

#

they ltierally played 4 series

errant tusk
#

was same with 8

#

coz they never got droppped down to lower bracket

#

they just did clean sweep in upper bracket

burnt basin
#

ye

#

its what the strongest chinese team also does most of the times

#

and its one of the reasons they end up falling short

#

cause the strongest chinese team in the region has an easy way every year

#

they are ahead by miles of the competition

#

but europe is a bloodbath

#

so ure used to adversity

#

i remember when there were 3-4 strong chinese teams dominating everyone

buoyant sage
#

myeh I dont believe in that tbh

#

if you're strong you dont care abut that

burnt basin
#

now china revolves aronud league

#

was it 2018 or 2019 that secret was unstoppable?

#

and they won almost everything?

errant tusk
#

2020

#

but they cancelled ti

#

that year

#

it was year where ti was cancelled

burnt basin
#

before that

errant tusk
#

ehh dont remember then

#

eg might have just lost

#

ok as i say that

buoyant sage
#

bzm

errant tusk
#

void spirit just dies

buoyant sage
errant tusk
burnt basin
#

lmao

#

LMAO

buoyant sage
#

impatient young fella

burnt basin
#

it was 2018/19 with midone

#

they literally pubstomped everyone

#

and got 6th in TI

errant tusk
#

yea its very rare an actual favorite wins ti

#

it actually hasnt happened ever maybe

burnt basin
#

i mean

errant tusk
#

that you were dominant throughout entire season

#

and then managed to win the TI

burnt basin
#

og went in the favorites no?

#

the second time

buoyant sage
#

well theres the Puppey factor, stubborn to pick the same thing over and over even after getting countered LULW

errant tusk
#

ye probably closest to it

buoyant sage
#

they were

burnt basin
#

it was a rushed move to kick sumail

#

cause the problem was clearly x3ice

#

as soon as that dude was gone secret changed

#

but now they are stuck with foreheadguy

errant tusk
#

they made 3 changes

buoyant sage
#

maybe, Idk, I like SumaiL but it feels like it's very hard to play with that guy

#

idk

errant tusk
#

they are brand new team somewhat

#

with 3 new players

#

and made TI

burnt basin
#

they were limited by x3ice hero pool

#

and his playstyle

#

super limited

errant tusk
#

think secret is doing fine

burnt basin
#

i mean crystallis can play 2 heroes...

errant tusk
#

bulldog could play 3

#

ammar can play 3

#

and they're also doing well

#

their teams*

burnt basin
#

ye but the difference is those heroes were actually on their position

#

playing razor 1 was a niche situational thing that happened cause of how strong he was in correlation with the items he bought

#

forcing razor 1 now...

#

i feel bad for nisha having to do everything

errant tusk
#

idk whats the issue tho, secret did what they needed to do

#

maybe they bomb out last place TI

burnt basin
#

they cnat win

errant tusk
#

then yea there is things to worry about

#

because they shouldnt be able to win

#

with 3 player swaps

#

2-3 months before ti

#

losing to the team u took their carry from, so convincingly

#

and their new carry looking 10 times better than crystallis

buoyant sage
#

buyback fest yaaaaaa

burnt basin
#

i think its worrisome imo

buoyant sage
errant tusk
#

ye team that made 1 player swap vs team that did 3 player swaps

#

also secret wasnt even held that much by their play

burnt basin
#

btw listening to gorg trying to cast a game is so funny

errant tusk
#

their drafting was bad

burnt basin
#

lmao

errant tusk
#

everyone's drafting was bad besides entity

#

in that qualifier

#

entity was ahead on that

burnt basin
#

yes

#

exactly

#

its also a hero pool thing

#

not everyone can play visage 3

#

and the funny thing is

errant tusk
#

comfort is big too

burnt basin
#

u dont even have to ban crystallis' hero pool

errant tusk
#

isnt secret doing better than eneity so far tho

burnt basin
#

u want them to pick razor or mk

errant tusk
#

i dont even know

burnt basin
#

easier ot win that way

burnt basin
errant tusk
#

yea secret is doing way better than entity

#

3-1 vs 1-3

burnt basin
#

i mean

errant tusk
#

so why not flame entity that they didnt evolve

burnt basin
#

it has to do with the teams

#

they played

errant tusk
#

whereas secret improved a fuckton

#

they comfortably got through LCQ

#

their hardest game was vs XG

burnt basin
#

to be clear im a HUGE secret fan

errant tusk
#

an d after that they kinda cruisder

#

cruised*

burnt basin
#

i jsut think crystallis is a problem

#

the yfound he can also play sf great

#

its prolly the reason the ycan win

#

but i cant see another razor/mk 1

#

its not even flexable

errant tusk
#

i dont see issue myself yet because its brand new team and at least my view is how can you have expectations of a brand new team to be insta the best

burnt basin
#

i think the reason is

#

cause their 3/4 mesh so well

errant tusk
#

1 player id have high expectations of is resolution

#

and he is delievering

burnt basin
#

and they work great around the others

errant tusk
#

ok eg did it

#

is eg back

#

wtf

buoyant sage
#

yuragi controlled for approximately 500 seconds

burnt basin
#

u rly need to go and watch secret early game in a vod or sth. crystallis is missing cs on hsi own, positions badly, makes bad calls on when to go in or get out...

#

they are winning in spite of him

#

abed in rare form

#

and rtz is the type of player that if he starts winning he keeps winning

#

mental is rly important

errant tusk
#

im just going with angle of its unrealistic to expect a complete rookie like crystalis to do well in a team that is expected to be the best and maybe its too much for him

#

im just giving him lots of benefit of the doubt

buoyant sage
#

yeh im on the same side

errant tusk
#

and i treat it as end product too, they made TI

#

they made last chance qualifier 1st

#

and TI

#

so thats good

burnt basin
#

i guess ure not wrong

#

like i said i think his fundamentals are bad

#

and that does not have to do with being a rookie or not

#

btw im not talking out of my ass, i am immortal player, not THAT good ofc but i have been 6k

#

last year

#

this year im stuck around 5,7

#

i wish secret had a naga player

errant tusk
#

nisha can play naga

burnt basin
#

but who plays mid then

errant tusk
#

reso

burnt basin
#

has he done it at all?

#

in the team?

errant tusk
#

ye

#

they had game where he went mid

#

100%

#

dont remember which one

#

also reso used to play 1

#

not sure if he played mid

burnt basin
#

ik ye

errant tusk
#

he probably played mid too

burnt basin
#

but crystallis cant play 3 i think

errant tusk
#

at some point

burnt basin
#

reso started as midlaner

errant tusk
#

ye possibly

#

was long time ago

#

dont remember

burnt basin
#

yep

#

it was a long ass time ago

errant tusk
#

i know he played carry in empire/that DC team

#

in empire when he was standing in

#

maybe even with miposhka

#

looong time ago

burnt basin
#

OG team empire

#

yep

#

he played mid on empire too

errant tusk
#

he can play it all

#

gifted

burnt basin
#

but i think his first time was VP?

#

i wanna say?

errant tusk
#

nisha can play all the positions too

burnt basin
#

2013?

errant tusk
#

dont remember

burnt basin
#

he was like 18 or sth

errant tusk
#

i know lots of the polish 'semi' pro players lets say

#

and nisha used to play 5/4

#

played mid/1 too

#

back in the shit t2-t3 teams

#

think he only didnt rly play offlane

#

but probably could pick it up

burnt basin
#

having flex cores is super important

#

i just hope crystallis picks up a couple of other heroes in the offseason

#

cause razor sf drow is zero skill

#

so it battlefury braindead famring mk

#

have u spent any money on the battle pass?

errant tusk
#

naa i dont like bp

#

think its low quality

burnt basin
#

i want the void and rzor arcanas but i cant excuse the amount u have to give for what u get

errant tusk
#

so i dont buy

burnt basin
#

ye

errant tusk
#

i bought the spectre one

burnt basin
#

like, u had ot spend the same for wr arcana

#

but u got a shit ton of shit for it as well

errant tusk
#

and i didnt play when wk/wr/qop arcana was around

burnt basin
#

getting out personas for heroes that have arcanas

#

is so low effort its disgusting

#

btw u have seen what the razor and void arcana are based on right?

#

another low effort shit

tight sluice
#

?

#

void arcana is good

#

and razor I mean it's not in game yet but it looks good

burnt basin
#

here u go

#

doesnt get more low effort than this 😛

tight sluice
#

I know

burnt basin
#

hm why does it not show

tight sluice
#

and WK is the same skin he used to have in dota 2 before blizz got in their feels

burnt basin
#

yes

#

but i can understand that one

#

even if its a bit .... eek

#

but this 😛 cmon bruh

tacit epoch
#

So what's the diretide event about?

#

You can get arcanas from it?

burnt basin
#

its basically built into the battle pass i think?

#

lets see if u cna see it now without downloading

#

yep

#

look at this shit XD

tacit epoch
#

I do like the razor arcana tho

burnt basin
#

warcraft 3 models made into 200 euro arcanas

#

ye i like the concept image too

#

no idea how its gonna look in game though

tacit epoch
#

Don't think I can grind to lvl 300 or whatever the razor requirement is

errant tusk
#

i might have hot take on arcanas

#

but i think every arcana should be 30-40$ in shop

#

ofc i get why they do bp shit

burnt basin
#

thats not a hot take

errant tusk
#

coz its just printing money

#

but shrugeg

burnt basin
#

its how it used to be

#

then the yrealised people are dumb and would pay hella more for them

errant tusk
#

also part that they arent tradable

#

is so weird

#

but oh well

burnt basin
#

can u imagine the inflation if they were sellable

errant tusk
#

its just mtx

burnt basin
#

since every account is free

errant tusk
#

i dont rly care for them as much myself

tacit epoch
#

Does the low drop chance for an arcana after a match still exist?

errant tusk
#

and if i rly wanted sth id just drop dolla

#

doubt

#

but its probably so rare

tacit epoch
#

I remember ppl got PA arcana

burnt basin
#

yep

#

you konw what my hope is

#

even if its gonna fuck up with the community and teh talent atm

#

u follow the riot route, block all leechers

#

keep ur product, market it better

#

and BRING IN THE FUCKIN HON TEAM TO SAVE THE GAME

#

ice frog is gone

tacit epoch
#

I don't get why some skins are super expensive tho

burnt basin
#

we all see that right

tacit epoch
#

Like the enigma skin costs more than 30€ arcanas

burnt basin
#

wait what

#

?

#

which one

tacit epoch
#

One sec

burnt basin
#

twisted maelstrom?

tacit epoch
#

This one

burnt basin
#

yes

#

the chance ot get it was super low

#

from 3 dollar chests

tacit epoch
#

Like I demo'd the skin and it didn't have special ability effects

burnt basin
#

and the chest itself cannot be bought anymore

tacit epoch
#

Except for the small dudes I think

burnt basin
#

its rare, its a collectible

tacit epoch
#

Ah so exclusivity

burnt basin
#

yes

#

nothing from those chests are marketable or sellable except for the ultra rare set ( which was the enigma)

tacit epoch
#

Idk I think the 8€ gloves for enigma are more worth

#

Give black hole an awesome effect

burnt basin
#

ngl im not sure even thats worth

tacit epoch
#

Maybe

burnt basin
#

cause dota isnt like league

#

u cant just spam one hero

#

every day all day

#

i mean u can but u will want to kill urself

tacit epoch
#

I know the Mirana head piece is pretty worth

burnt basin
#

there are actual counter match ups that destroy u

#

(that is before enigma has become uber busted lets not forget)

#

back in 2018 he was ass

tacit epoch
#

Both immortal head pieces cost less than 1€

burnt basin
#

oh for sure

tacit epoch
#

And give a cool ultimate effect

burnt basin
#

i want the mount

#

but its 65 euro

#

fml

tacit epoch
#

Yeah💀

#

But I tend to build some skin sets with stuff that costs like 10c

#

You can build some cheap good looking skins

burnt basin
#

oh dont get it wrong

#

i kind of a whale

#

but i cant spend too much

#

like, i have all arcanas and almost all immortal items

#

but the things id ont have and i didnt get from the BPs

#

i wont pay valve extra money via the market

tacit epoch
#

Fair

burnt basin
#

and this year BP is not worth it

#

only 2 immortal treasure boxes and one wont release until november

#

like, what?

tacit epoch
#

Idk I only buy the 8€ baseline and see how far I can get with that

#

So for me it's kinda worth it

burnt basin
#

u aint wrong ye, there are some pretty cool low cost full sets too

#

noone saw that XD

tacit epoch
#

👀

burnt basin
#

the one set i want and i didnt get because i wasnt around a computer when those caches came out

#

is the darkheart pursuit NS set

#

but its only giftable and i dont know anhyone that has an extra to make a trade with

#

sad things

tight sluice
#

it's literally cringe that they lock arcanas behind BP

burnt basin
#

btw hokori is stomping huh

tight sluice
#

and that older arcanas like qop wr were removed

#

it is what it is

burnt basin
#

they are rolling over GG

tight sluice
#

but it's shitty

burnt basin
#

pudge pos 1 so strong

#

if u cnat play it u cant get top 4 this year XD

#

every dota player's nightmare. having pudge be viable

#

i think group B is free if secret get serious

#

all the favorites are in group A

#

its gonna thin out winners bracket real early

#

spirit secret 1-2 kinda group

tight sluice
#

ruin pudge

#

fucking hero in every game if I do not ban him

tender fox
#

eg actually securing ub day1

versed matrix
#

dont think ive seen troll win ever

tender fox
tight sluice
errant tusk
#

pudge would be in 70% of the games even if he was the worst hero

tight sluice
#

can we see group standingsi n game?

#

nvm website has it

#

@errant tuskpray that candy shop has old arcanas

burnt basin
#

hokori actually stomped GG wow

#

i think

#

the candy shit is their way of giving access to the arcanas locked in BPs

#

but i think they will be super expensive

#

and not easily obtainable otherwise old buyers would mald

#

or it will be another slot machine

#

i bought the bundle today i hope they release another one

#

cause i sure as hell aint giving them 100 more euro jsut for the arcana

tender fox
#

what are even lgd drafting

#

giving away morph+primal to soniq

burnt basin
#

counter match ups i think

#

and limit testing

#

it is day 1 after all

#

and they are gonna get UB no matter what

tight sluice
#

psg griefing my predictions rn

burnt basin
#

its smart what they are doing

#

what did it do for hte mthe previous years when they enver experimented and stomped group stages

tender fox
#

pretty sure they still had highest amount of heroes picked previous years also

burnt basin
#

nyx chen is kinda grief though ngl

#

if u dont get rolling early ure kinda done

burnt basin
#

this is lets throw counter picks and see if it works

severe sail
#

Ok so I just woke up...how did EG go 6-0 against two of what I think most people thought were the best teams in the group?

tight sluice
#

NA dota baby

errant tusk
#

they did adress morph with drow

#

drow is rly good into morph

burnt basin
#

clown draft works

vital pollen
#

"thats just how dota is these days, everybody scales with networth"

brought to you by the best talent in dota casting

#

LGD is just absolutelyi nsane at finding farm even when theyre behind coming out of the laning stage

tender fox
#

what is lgd even doing during their draft

#

literally everyone left the area

burnt basin
#

I believe in EG

tender fox
#

or it looked like a draft on 1 screen at least but not on the strim

burnt basin
#

meta heroes fit them a lot

#

but i think we are at the point where it will be good for dota in general if LGD wins this year

#

we are losing china to league

#

lil robots can do more things mechanically there

vital pollen
#

maybe this is their plan

#

everybody gets to draft during groupstage

#

see what works

tender fox
#

both marci and bat completly ignored Hmmm

burnt basin
#

i dont think marci si good tbh (HOT take)

#

i just think people arent used to counterplaying her

#

same way when ES used to be busted every game pick

#

the nerfs are more than enough

errant tusk
#

disagree

#

its just too stupid of a hero that perma bashes you with just 2 items

#

that power spike is way too good

#

also e is way too good

#

free satanic for your carry

#

20k lina or sf vs 10k marci

#

and marci wins it coz just pop ult and perma bash you

#

funfunfunfunfunfnfufnfun

burnt basin
#

uhm

#

how is it perma bash though

#

there is a shit ton of delay between the attacks reprocing now

#

the slow on it is negligible

errant tusk
#

they nerfed slow

#

slow used to work through bkb

burnt basin
#

and its a support hero

errant tusk
#

but it doesnt work anymore

burnt basin
#

cause if u try to lane with her now as 3 u gonna get buttfucked

#

she is strong sure

#

but shes not busted

errant tusk
#

if she isnt busted then idk what is

#

its a 1st pick too btw

burnt basin
#

and honestly if u allow a 4/5 marci to get to bkb basher

#

u deserve to lose

#

she is a win more hero now

#

punishing bad positioning

#

literally what ES used to do

errant tusk
#

its not that hard to get bkb/basher from 4 pos

#

you get lots of stuff done usually early on

#

as she's strong roamer

burnt basin
#

ye i disagree to that

#

her lvl 1 spells are subpar now

#

personal opinions i guess

#

preferring marci over primal on the handshake non bans though is insane to me

#

and i think rubick is a HUGE counter to marci now

vital pollen
#

its kinda fun to watch lgd how they bait the enemy team into thinking theyre ahead

#

by giving them some free core kills

tight sluice
vital pollen
#

same shit now

#

soniqs gets like

#

few kills on lesh

#

after he won mid

#

meanwhile TA farming

burnt basin
#

other than dp they dont really have a ta counter

#

and when she gets to 25 dp wont be able to come in range to remove the refractions

#

as i say it he dies lmao

#

this was prolly an ac radi naix game

#

btw u guy swatching league too?

tight sluice
#

lmfao

#

I am but there is probably no one else in here that plays both games

#

watching last night made me very happy I dropped playing it for dota

#

game is shit

burnt basin
#

i dont play league
