The trouble I have with Aysee is the constant sports analogies & references. This third game OG vs VGR, when Secret used the WR it was to create space for a harder carry but lycan... There is no way enchantress isn't changed somehow for the next patch, hero just does too much damage with two...

I think OG has been somewhat overrated, to me a big part of their win at Frankfurt is that they weren't even considered a dark horse to win the event. This would have meant that other teams put less emphasis on preparation for them (as opposed to say EG or Secret) but their style happened to end...

Ugh, Starladder is infested with annoying people its inescapable... Nehaz, Aysee, Kotlguy.... they're only missing Zyori, Clairvoyance and that aussie girl to have all the annoying people in one place.

I haven't tried it, but Waga did a video recently on Void vanguard into radiance which he used to grind to 8k. I don't think vanguard is necessary on Sven, your sustain is better from helm of dominator which also allows you to stack ancients. He's tanky already. Agreed on Aysee, one...

I never understand why tickets go on sale so early, its still 4-months away. Who knows wtf they're doing in 4-months.

I haven't watched it but last I heard Americans were classifying anyone over 14-years old nearby as a 'combatant'.

He's still pretty try-hard I think, at least you can tell when he's on a team as he stops streaming dota with any regularity. From the c9 days I recall 1437 being very positive about him, and he's also played with CWM, Mad, Bone7 and a few other players a few times. As someone who watches Sing's...

No Diggity definitely looking interesting. Kaipi on the other hand looks pretty meh at the moment, they're trying some different drafts like Kunkka but its not coming together. Cancel doesn't seem very impressive to be honest.

That doesn't make much sense, even dotabuff knows what mode a game is.

I half agree. Most dota heroes are pretty easy to pickup and play but there are a handful that are worthless without a certain level of ability. (e.g. Invoker, Meepo, Earth Spirit, Oracle)

I think it was the video I posted a couple pages back from Purge's channel. Bulba used to (still has?) good individual skill too, he was a pretty good mid on Liquid. The new Digital Chaos, Kaipi, Fantastic Five and Polarity teams look decent. The new VP team looks pretty ridiculous too.

Excellent. I watched it Saturday night and re-watched it the next day. My sister did the same. The doc is very well done and the topic captures the imagination.

He was a carry at TI3, he was supporting in DC though was playing some carry recently. (Unclear to me whether someone was away or whether they were trying new players)

EG.Aui2000 EG.Bulba Guessing that Fear will be carry? Though aui's traditional support role doesn't quite exist now so maybe he continues as carry?

Random speculation - DigitalChaos has been playing without Sumail's brother recently & Aui2000 on carry. Maybe they can pickup PPD for the second support

Everything you can do/enable in autoexec.cfg should be present in the options IMO, its just an unnecessary barrier. For new players, or even players looking to improve (PPD mentioned recently one of the custom games being great for supports to experiment with warding & de-warding) the other...

My memory of MLG Columbus is Arteezy taking pretty farm heavy cores like OD with Envy on Clinkz making space with Sing.

w33's invoker was great but otherwise they had to resort to non-meta heroes like WR. Misery generally looked good though. Overall I would have rated PieLieDie the highest probably followed by EE. He's 26, not many years left really. Plus iirc the Secret org doesn't take a slice? I would...

This is the TI lock right? From an individual skill perspective its hard to come up with any western players who would be better. That said, I'm not convinced about the roster as unless someone massively changes playstyle they don't appear to have any space making cores. I think they will...

I think Sumail plays both ember & invoker for EG.

I think it was his first death (@ top), I recall Tobi or whoever it was speculating on whether he would bb.

I do wonder if Universe made a mistake in not buying back when MVP was pushing bottom. I feel like I've seen Bulldog do that often and he probably would have taken top which might have prevented MVP from going mid afterwards.

Arguably OG was favoured over MVP, and Empire really made EG work for it (and were 0-1 when I posted it). Shanghai flashbacks here with stream just disappearing for 30-minutes....

Day of upsets? Complexity is the only team I might have favoured to win the matchup

Last weekend I watched on Netflix -The Barkley Marathons: The Race That Eats Its Young.

The fights were often long enough that blink would have been off CD, particularly since DS was frequently standing on the side with his dick in his hand doing nothing. There were also a few fights where they were initiating but he still didn't get it off.

This MVP vs OG game 1. Moon & miracle are a complete non-factor in this game @ 30-minutes. I think it was a huge mistake by moon to not go blink, he's either not getting the wall off at all, or he casts it and catches no one.

Sing playing offlane for Kaipi w/ Bone7 carry. Apparently Purge, Blitz & Hotbid have an occasional podcast, this one covers the China major -The Multicast Ep. 7 w/ Blitz Purge and Hotbid, special guest Capitalist. - YouTube

I wish I had the video editing skills for this.... would be hilarious to take the Shanghai EG video and have sprouts pop up around arteezy at the end (or maybe even just cover him with sprouts in every shot....)

Yea I was looing at the way the previous pushes went and how quickly the creeps were dying... But I guess just no damage under BKB. I recall Sumail being good but not dominant like he was at DAC, I'd argue it was Aui2000 @ TI5. The heroes Sumail was really great at just aren't good at the...

I think Liquid may have left this too long. I don't see how they are going to break high ground and naga is keeping up on farm.

Arteezy actually has decent farm. I recall it being pretty typical to see radiance 20-22 minutes.

Minute 8.... Nyxx has more farm than every EG hero.

DP has a 2-level advantage on the Zeus at this point. The one thing going for them is the Enigma. Edit: Game crash? More like PC crashed to the floor in a baby rage

The bear didn't even feel that strong, he kept dying. The sprouts though, game breaking shit. They're single handedly losing EG games. I bet Arteezy is begging for Drow or a battlefury

The nyxx carapace is hurting Phoenix quite a lot. Not finding the Synd & Tobi cast that good, they aren't really talking about items at all.

Tournament almost over and we still get Chinese clips on the english stream.... Also, these team intros.... worse than the shitty commercials for gaming gear made by marketing people who have no familiarity with gaming. Is it just me or are the desk laptops getting bigger left to right?

Watching G3 Secret vs EG. I think envy just isn't used to playing Ember vs Nyxx, most of the 'bad' pickups involved him getting stunned via carapace or invis.

Swindle also said Lion was not a thing and that they'd be 1-2 in their group. You know what they say about broken clocks Eh? I'd consider the dota at the tournament to be relatively average, compare that to say Frankfurt or TI5 where the production was good and the dota was great.

So.... they interview the western players with a chinese interviewer, but now they're interviewing Mushi in english via an translator? wtf
