Mirana is apparently the hotness right now. I know that much, but not why. Maybe someone who is good at dota can explain it.

The correct last pick would have been a carry CritShaker so they are going to lose.

I pretty much frantically guessed all the group stage predictions for each game so I'll be surprised if I get more than 50% of them correct

I'm watching the NA/EU grudge match with Liquid/Newbee, but I'm intrigued about whether the continuous chain of Underlord buffs has produced a hero broken on the pro scene.

This Arc Jak lane was a disaster. Jak is just a bad zoning support vs. Ogre.

The last pub game I played someone queued for Soft Support Ogre and went offlane with me, went 0/5 and his only inventory item was a glove of haste until he got his midas at 20 minutes. Game ended at 24 minutes. Lord help us.

Secret are playing mid-late and Alliance don't have a late game, unless they are like, highground by 25 minutes they still lose.
