DOTA 2

If I was Sumail I'd just be mad. There are about 30 heroes they coulda picked for him that would have done more.

Yes, it was essentially 4v5 the entire match given how much of a non-factor Pugna was.

Never know on that one. He's literally never played Pug in a pro match, I'd find it hard to believe he didn't at least call out that he wanted it at some point. Don't think it is his kind of hero though.

Much love for Jackie though on that game. I almost pissed myself when he came off the cliff for absolutely no fucking reason imaginable.

CoL gives Alliance Chen and LD. NAdoto.

Didn't help but complexity blew that one by not even really trying to push their window. Too timid for that lineup for sure.

EDIT: So game two you give Alliance Furion? That is likely unwise.

Wow, Complexity is impressing the fuck out of me. Did not think they could do this well.

Edit: Holy fuck this tournament is incredible. While I may not like Alliance, I have no problem admitting they are a fantastic team, in a million years I never thought Complexity could beat them, jesus.

I guess it helps when 60% of your team is from sweden

Pfft. No shit.

Complexity is serious about this. Good dota boys, good dota.

Alliance is back....to Sweeden ;P

They kicked them right in the Donger.

G1 - I think Moon won the game, then spent the next 5 minutes losing it. Though no blink sven was pretty game losing too.

G2 - Interesting interaction from the draft, if Fnatic goes on Drow, Void can chrono and VS can swap Drow out.

Refresher SVEN, what an entertaining game.

Holy shit at OG coming back in g2

Jeeeeeeez

I think the quality of games directly depends on shittines of the production/event.

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

Man, Swindle got the "Dafuq you say?" look from James when he stated on Day 1 that US/SEA would be considered the best regions after this tournament, and he was actually partially correct. US/SEA are guaranteed to take 4th-6th this tournament, with one of the four teams placing 1st-3rd. Winners bracket is obviously still Europe v Europe which isn't terribly surprising, but what a showing from US/SEA here (and what a horrible showing for China).

Agree 100% that quality of tournament is inversely proportional to how good the DotA at the tournament being played is.

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.

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.
