I think Purge is focusing on the wrong thing in VP game-2. The issue imo is that TA is entirely physical damage, in g1 they were still able to kill people even if Omniknight managed to GA thanks to the SF. I think Mason botched his itemization, he needed a damage item not heart

I think the timer was bumped back when Doom still broke passives, plus he was going aghs + refresher every game. These days it seems like even with midas he's lucky to get more than 1-2 items.

I like Fata a lot but he's a bit like S4 where his best heroes haven't been favoured mid in quite a while.

Why does it always feel like Liquid and EG draft lineups that put them at a disadvantage. Its been shown how many times already that outplaying your opponents at Valve events almost never happens. Edit: Also, I used to play quite a bit of Doom but barring the short period where searing flames...

I thought in the final EG vs IG game that Sumail had fucked up and hadn't realized his invis wore off standing in the lane but from the replay he broke it. Something I noticed - neither Secret nor VP have their previous opponents on their side of the bracket. Maybe they used that to start...

So... China has 1 team with a winning record out of 3 invites and 2 qualified. Seems like they're getting too many slots....

This Major is super confusing DC -> Thunderbirds Onyx -> DC Wings -> Random Ad Finem -> Mousesports

Is it just me or is Ana underwhelming? He's one of the 9k club but his individual play doesn't feel up to bar set by the others.

Zai trying to make space for 4 players.... though they also keep drafting supports that can't do much in lane.

They definitely bombed at Manila Major, but they also took second at Nanyang and dominated everyone at the Summit immediately before TI. I'm not claiming I called it, but I distinctly remember a number of commentators/casters rating Wings highly. DC was definitely a dark horse though.

A lot of people were predicting Wings last year too.

I picked it up last night, first game I dropped far away from everyone, ran across half the map seeing one guy and died entering a shed without seeing him. Second game, I also dropped far from anyone ran across the map heard someone shooting at a car, killed him in one shot then saw no one else...

Slacks, Sunsfan and Conrad have a podcast, not sure where else its available but its in Slack's twitch videos.

I feel like the smurf thing is a bit overblown - I would hazard it only really affects the top 10% or so? Seems nice for them but doesn't have much impact on a lot of the community. Low priority preventing ranked matchmaking afterwards seems like just inflicting the retards on the normal queue :/

Ah, too bad. I guess both Qo and Meracle are used to teams built around them so might take getting used to

Pretty dick thing to do right before the major. Take sponsorship dollars for 6-months then bail right before big event where they might get publicity. SVG and 1437 out of NP, Envy to 1, Aui to 4. New fnatic looks interesting: Meracle, Qo, Febby, Ohaiyo and Dj

Well, I wonder if there is time for Liquid to shape up for Kiev.

For some reason I never heard of these videos -

Anyone able to watch enough DAC to know if group B stacked or are teams playing poorly?

Crouch and walk up to them. Alternatively pick up rocks they hide under pretty much every one in that south mine. Annoyingly I didn't even know what the Korok Seeds were for until I was at the castle, never naturally ran into the fat guy and apparently already had the shakers. Ganon was...

Its the same score I came up with a week ago for similar reasons:

Only TA is really comparable to Ursa for Roshan, and she needs a DD or deso. Weaver, slardar and LD all need active help. Not sure what we're talking about here - in the early game Ursa is clearly easier as its one hero and one item. In the later game sure, if your lifestealer is farmed but...

I think Juggernaut (and probably SF) needs a complete re-work, the fact he's been continually nerfed for 3-years but like a roach has never left the meta suggests that the combination of his abilities is too strong. Compare him to other carries - team healing, passive damage, magical immunity...

I wouldn't have predicted this earlier in the year but... I'd much rather watch the MoonDuck coverage than BTS but they seem to be getting boring regions like SA. SunsFan in particular is hilarious, though I wish they'd ditch this mrp guy.

Meh, I still think OG is overrated, barring Frankfurt they seem to only win (or even do well) when the other teams look like shit. EG is also interesting, they've played so little its hard to know if they fixed it but at Boston it felt like they are missing some crucial element. I would like...

I don't think the competition is particularly strong, 2 of the other 3 top teams formed since Christmas.

I feel like they should GG out the round before Bo2s to not entirely gum up the bracket. That said, something Sing said recently I think rings true - if you have a hope of winning the regionals you should have no difficulty with the teams in the open. It does demonstrate that NA and EU opens are...

To clarify, I mean the smartphone's requirement that you photograph everything, then having menus that consist only of your shitty photo until you select it. Other than the very early game where stamina can result in cheap deaths swimming, what does the stamina system actually do? It mostly...

I have a contrarian opinion, the game is maybe a 7. There are a large number of annoyance mechanics in the game - stamina, durability, camera, crafting, weather, horses. Maybe I'm overlooking something but I'm 20+ hours in and virtually everything past 5-hours or so has been able to kill or...

SingSing is streaming his stack running in the open qualifiers, it has SexyBamboe and Cancel along with two more dutch players as supports. (One played with Sing & Bamboe on the dutch squad in WEC.)

Pong doesn't come with wireless controllers ;) I would assume the list is derived from past experiences with other consoles or from the wireless chipset manufacturer.

While it seems funny its also a spot with that has the potential to have a lot of electrical equipment which may not be properly shielded.

Every console release has rough edges, its difficult this early to know how prevalent issues are; the screen scratching might be a couple hamfisted morons on a forum or it might be something everyone needs to be careful of.

Its pretty hilarious the number for sale on the local classifieds, they were down to $30 over retail ha. Retailers should really put a restocking fee on new devices and put the screws to speculators.

Man, I don't understand how anyone can watch those Giant Bomb guys. Take something that ought to be interesting like a console launch and spend the first 30-minutes talking about accounts.

Maybe it depends on your definition of blindly... but I would generally disagree, meta builds exist because they're strong with the way the game is being played, most players (including me) aren't good enough to identify the correct times to deviate based on what is going to happen. (Referring...

I also had issues with the controls, I can't move fast enough between weapon direction and guard break. I think if they'd made guard mode a toggle instead of holding then on a controller you could use the left button and trigger.

MidOne hit 9k today, but it does seem like there is some missing element in that team. Part of it might be the support duo, most succesful teams have a strong roamer while I think PieLieDie can play that role he's also generally the hard-5 and Puppey doesn't play that sort of hero. To be honest...

If you're a support Kunkka a force staff seems like a good purchase anyway. B)ears looks pretty good, I only caught one of their games vs Cloud-9 but it seems they've 2-0'd Ad Finem, Na`Vi and Cloud-9. Made me laugh when I clicked on Ferro on Liquidpedia and saw Lifetime Winnings: $10

From what I've seen of Conan it has a fundamental design flaw - you have to build up a bunch of stuff that will simply be destroyed the moment you go offline or leave the area to find a resource.
