I like NA because you can watch the two lowest ranked qualifier teams face off and know you're watching peak NA dota

Honestly it's interesting because the competitive matches and pubs feed off each other in the most obvious ways (to me)

I only caught bits and pieces between work stuff but from what I did see it looked like FWD's teamfight was just significantly better than Jstorm

jstorm saw a Chen pick and still picked 0 rightclickers, so they lost once Chen found his magic resist aura creeps and FWD had their items

Maybe they thought they could end it early with Pugna but it sure didn't work

Really? It looks like it was only really CM that died, they just got massively outfarmed. I guess they just couldn't take fights without CM and so FWD just took all the towers and J Storm did nothing about it?

Early on FWD couldn't kill anyone but couldn't die because they had omni and chen. Then OD and troll got farm, chen got magic resistance creeps, and FWD still couldn't die but could suddenly kill people and then they won.

BSJ talking poo poo about Clinkz aghs and then it immediately giving Xolotl a 5 man wipe is the most appropriate thing. Clinkz aghs hitting creeps would be insanely overpowered and it's already one of the best aghs in the game.

"And here for our professional analysis we have BSJ, whose claim to fame is being a living joke and not even being able to make it into the closed qualifiers"

also man the NA panel rules. China would've been better if it was just Basskip and Purge, Kyle was acting like a weird pervert all night

Bald were clearly winning, they had just gotten mega creeps and forced every single buyback of aachen. However, in their last fight getting mega creaps 4 of them died. No problem, as their 2 big cores (ember and lesh) both had buyback and the others a quick respawn timer, plus they still had tier 2 towers alive.

Then ember waited way too long before buybacking, he only bought back when Aachen was killing t4 towers (he had 15 seconds deadtime at that point instead of 70) and lesh simply didn't buyback at all despite having money. In the end Aachen won with only their slark alive at 5% hp.

Grant and Blitz talking about Dark Seer being way overvalued, but I think the same is true of Spirit Breaker. Bulldoze is crazy, but it's basically the same thing as Timbersaw, where you can just sort of ignore him and focus on the rest of his team and you'll win the fight anyways

Picslaeder or however you spell his name just ghosted his team and Young Suck voluntarily forfeited. That was their last game of the day but I'd be surprised if they actually play tomorrow either
