Man, Demon must really be loving toxic in a team environment if he can't find a team, he's clearly good enough.

Hot Leggy Blonde, you

I feel like lifestealer has been a weak pick lately. Haven't seen him do much work in games.

Demon's issue is his inconsistency. He's been on fire this tournament but then he has days where he's hyper aggressive and just dies making dumb plays. I'm never honestly sure which Demon we're gonna get.

judging by the games he played with Fnatic at whatever tourney that was recently (D2L maybe?) he seems to be fun to play with since whenever the camera was on them they were all just always laughing

Yeah Dog is a legit team, they've played several tournaments including the current Dreamleague

Problem with Demon is he'll join a team than make you forfeit a tournament because he didn't show up for your first game because he was at the gym. He seems like a LAN player but online / scrimming wise he's hit or miss.

They've only been around for like one month so far so I think your point may still stand? I don't really know anything about Demon though

In China news, NewBee already made their first roster change, letting go of ZSMJ for Banana, continuing the "4 Friends + Xiao8" theme they've got going.

ZSMJ now goes to a reformed HGT, which was a team made for WPC that was one of two squads of amateurs given a few weeks training. HGT dumped all but one of those people.

Why is Fogged bringing up Arteezy's no boots Weaver as such a good thing? I know it's because he's saving gold for bigger items but Weaver has such garbage health and lower BAT than other heroes, so it's not like the boots are purely for movespeed.

If you can get away with skipping Boots you can get other items with a larger impact like Drums, Aquila, and Linken's 450/1400g faster. You're totally right that Weaver needs HP and attack speed is great but if you're considering buying 8 STR/AGI/INT and 30 attack speed for 1400g you can justify other items over it.

Romanian Visa issues, if he gets it denied one more time he'll never be able to come to the US so he's waiting for TI4 I think.

Wait, really? I didn't realize he was trying and getting denied repeatedly. I thought there was just a blanket policy toward Romania because they have a huge underclass of poor people who are likely to stay.

It's really stupid as well given that LoL already is recognized and you'll be granted visas as a sportsman or something. I mean Dota is (or almost is) on the same level so you should be able to cite the LoL clause and apply under it. But I know jack all about the law in the States so I might be totally on the wrong foot.

I can 't understand why C9 picked up Drow as 3rd pick. There's very little chance of it being picked or banned out if they leave it til last and EG have basically hard counterpicked them on it.

That's sorta understating it a bit

at 50 mana and at its shortest cooldown 5 seconds its a extremely good value, and whats better to get back from being poo poo on then just throwing it into a gank and benefiting everyone.
