RIP Terroblade, there's almost 0 chance he stays like he currently is for long, way too strong of a farmer and fighter. Wont be surprised if the damage increase on Metamorphosis is completely removed, you'd think making your attacks ranged would be good enough.

Team Secret looking like Team Dogshit, Puppey probably needs to stop drafting because this game 2 lineup makes literally no sense.

Dunno, VG is one of the few teams that seems to match Secret in individual skill. Kuro can make most other carries look like chumps, but Iceiceice and Black are on another level.

I dunno. Picking the AFK enigma every game is a pretty fucking easy style to counter.

edit: and iceiceice all but confirms it in the interview.

I agree their but that game 2 lineup was just straight moronic. Kuro on a Razor that got literally nothing from his team. An Alch that got destroyed by a Panda mid and a duo lane of clock/naga against an AM tri? It was just terrible. Not to mention they absolutely conceded their jungle to Timber, which meant the only way for Kuro to actually have an impact in the game was gone. They needed Notail to stack jungle camps and allow Kuro to clear them with static but it just wasn't happening either. The Naga support was stupid as well. Alch could've done will with a blink as a 4 or 5 position but everything there was just stupid.

Yeah, makes you wonder if puppey was ever a good drafter. Old navi just had so much individual skill that they could make almost anything work... players have since caught up and surpassed them skillwise, now puppeys drafts just look awful.

That was strange, EE's spectre illusion popped instantly when he tried to Haunt top lane to kill WD with Brew. Shitty Capitalist attributed that to him using reality to mid but that was fixed a couple patches ago and the illusions remain the entire duration regardless. Wonder if he had a cask bouncing or something and it just hit it the second it spawned?

Will have to check the replay after to see what it was.

lol Capitalist "Activates the blademail to reflect Witch Doctor damage back"

does this guy even play dota?

Don't think that's a draft issue but a puppey sucks at every hero but 5ish issue, and 3 of these are junglers(chen, enchant and enigma). Was that was in Na'Vi too, when the strats revolving around these heroes are strong he looks like a good player, when they're not he looks like garbage and still drafts around them because he can't really just play whatever.

Look at Secret's games in Starladder, they drafted the stupidest lineups and it still worked against everybody.

I still don't understand this patch.

Jakiro is pretty close to earthshaker, you can land a game winning icepath or get molested by their gankers all game long.

Game was weird. EG had no early game aggression potential and yet they didn't get any kind of stacking early for Universe or Zai. Nor did they make sure Arteezy was going to have some space in mid.

Looking at their Starladder matches, the majority was vs weaker teams, makes sense they could get away with that shit.
