No, a minute earlier when he just spams out all his spells in the gank (giving up weave on the gg push) was the even more pubbie. I can see pubs having stupid micro but absolutely 0 awareness after an hour long game that you have a rubick on the other team is just...

man that game has me fuckin depressed :negative:

Graving yourself instead of your carry getting murdered half a screen away isn't bad micro it's mashing the ability in a panic and casting it on yourself because you have doubletap = selfcast on

Clown9 going out of TI5 0-4 in the main event would be awful but the way they played those CDEC games it wouldn't even be too surprising.

Did he ever get a point in poison touch? You'd think a single goddamn point would be useful if only to have another spell to cast if you can't get out of that rubick aghs cast range.

He did not. He had a glimmer but it wasn't exactly going to be useful to use purely to try to hide after using your grave.

If its anything like yesterday the game won't be starting until like 2 anyways because we need an hour of talking heads first.

Poison touch has been nerfed a ton while missile has been consistently buffed. One is way worse than the other.

Seriously, even if it's not that great, why ignore it completely? Especially when you're just getting stats at that point. You never know when you may actually want or need it.

And again in a game where Rubick is doing work and anything else he steals from you will be amazing, why not get a single point in your lovely spell to try to limit the amount of damage he can do to you.

Well hell. I guess old Tumnus is just a loverman by trade.
Gabe just stares at his hands.

"My team worked for months to create Half Life 2, it earned about 5 million USD and high praise. The special Immortal hats that we crank for the compendium made us 15 million USD in about a week. This don't matter. None of this matters. The International is God's punishment for a sin-cursed world, and I am going to reign in hell."

He stares at the camera for the next 15 minutes unblinking, as Pyrion mops sweat from his neckbeard and begins to cry.

ppd was already pre-salting during his interview with HotBid. He said they picked them over c9 because they don't respect Col and think c9 is the tougher match.

C9 has a lot of experience against EG and PPD knows that they can lose to them for that reason.
