its up!http://www.twitch.tv/beyondthesummit/b/423750227It was just played so vod isn't up yet, will be on BTS stream videos though. And watched what you posted when it aired yesterday it was a pretty cool game.
I hope Zenith doesn't get scared like last year and keep the cool strats going for TI3. Last year I feel leading to TI2 they had a ton of cool strats, and then when they got there they simply played normal dota and they got owned at it. They need to remember their style when they pick.
Also it seems Tree is gonna be the top pick/ban of TI3. Even the chinese teams who tend to often be a bit behind on trends are starting to pick him(Tongfu did a few times at least). Interestingly, after this week's patch, Kunkka can remove Living Armor in half a second with a rank 2 or high torrent, and Kunkka was kinda coming back to the meta so might see more of him if Tree keeps getting picked. Slark can do that too but much shittier range.

I guess because Unstable Concoction was buffed to not be as shitty anymore and the hero is overall fairly strong with all the recent buffs, plus he doesn't really have to build health, only armor and then stack as much damage as possible. By reducing the ulti health, you might want to pick up a heart more often now, which in turns makes him less deadly.
Bit sad that AM went through this nerf patch unharmed, he's massively coming back and that's annoying as fuck. 1s cd on Blink or Mana burn reduction would probably be enough to make people consider other heroes. Ah well, in Riki we trust, the only bastion of hope against AM faggotry.
Getting really fed up with how shitty matchmaking is. Every single game is a pushover. An Ideal game should have GPMs like this:
TeamA and B:
#1: 600+
#2: 400+
#3-5: 100-200
Instead all my games are like this
TeamA:
#1: 500
#2: 400+
#3-5: ~300
Team B:
#1: 300
#2-5: 100-200
TeamA and B:
#1: 600+
#2: 400+
#3-5: 100-200
Instead all my games are like this
TeamA:
#1: 500
#2: 400+
#3-5: ~300
Team B:
#1: 300
#2-5: 100-200
Why would the GPMeverbe equal on both teams? Especially the roles matching each other's GPM? Some lanes win, some lanes lose.
Also gaps that large just mean teams don't know how to finish out games. They'll sit back and farm because teamwork isn't what it should be with all solo queues playing together.

If Navi is going to win Dendi can't afford to have too many games like he did game 2

Fast radiance on Weaver is very doable and definitely ends pug games, every other hero... probably not as surely so (feel free to remind me or set me straight). That equivalent of gold spent on, say, a dagon + BKB and snow balling on Bounty Hunter can be very retardedly unfair.
I have 2 Tusk cards and an extra VS, looking for BH, PL, Razor, and Riki. May as well try and trade to get them all. Also have an extra Necrolyte mythical Scythe if anyone wants to trade for it.
