I could eat a sea cucumber
Not an OG supporter (though really I only dislike Ceb), they are playing really well this TI and they certainly gel really well together as this roster. In contrast, when they didn't have Ana they simply weren't a top tier team anymore

I don't understand the balance changes that are made in this game anymore. Why does Morphling have literally infinite health? Who was smoking what when they decided to balance the hero like that?

Was that Secret vs Mineski the most lopsided game so far? That was brutal.

I'm not sure this was BM but it kinda looked like it. He used sleight whenever it came off cooldown and it just looked like they didn't want to go to deep.

And then he bought dagon immediately afterward.

Not really sure what Lesh was thinking game 2 of Secret against Mineski. Movespeed not that useful when you're caught and bursted down over and over.

5 eu teams at TI and two of them are potentially not even going to make it to the bracket stage.

Each group has some clear top and bottom teams but then the middle is a complete free for all. Looking very likely that there will be some tie breaks.

I *think* they got hit real hard with the patch changes. Mids are now either playmakers or farming cores and offlaners are more sacrificial, often giving up farm to 4 positions, which is the polar opposite to how Fata and 33 want to play. Even then, it's a surprisingly poor showing from them.

What the hell just happened in VP vs Infamous, Legion Commander decides to duel when they're the last one alive against five people :wtf:

edit: I guess technically there was a 25% hp lifestealer there as well, but he died immediately after the duel started

Whisper literally stood by and watched the whole team die then ran in and dueled 1v5 and instantly died.

edit: This would be a rough one for Chaos, especially since they need to gain 3 points on Liquid with 2 bo2s to play for each.
