IcePhoenix posted:I don't understand what you mean? I don't like the idea of support invoker, especially if you're going a mid pudge. That secret/lgd game was proof enough. Game 2 is looking a little more tolerable with another support invoker, however.

Also if Tiny gets an aghs upgrade for the tree barrage while he has the cosmetic replacing the trees, DOTA 2 turns into a Happy Wheels sword throw level.

Invoker has been picked as support just as much as carry so far so whether you like the idea or not it's a thing now. Pudge was a bad pick but Invoker was always a support when they picked him, they didn't sacrifice anything to play him as a four.

Just lmao that Io is 3-3 without Ana, and 7-3 with him.

Secret is picking Invoker exclusively as a support right now to gently caress with other teams so when he picks it as a core, other teams won't be expecting it.

Quick update before I zombie myself to bed Group A: LGD clinches #1 as Secret can only tie them and LGD holds the tiebreak via the match just now. Secret Clinches #2 as only Newbee can tie them and Secret 2-0'd them earlier. Keen is locked into the lower bracket because someone from the TNC/Liquid match has to finish with at least 8 points, and Keen can only get to 7. Secret and Chaos have literally nothing to play for so expect a Techies carry or similarly clowny stuff in their match. Group B: OG clinched #1 already and only have one match. Na'Vi is the other one match team and they play VG. Probably need a split at worst there to have a good chance at upper bracket. The remaining teams all play each other so hopefully we get some tiebreaker DotA. NiP could even get themselves into the bracket with the right results, but they probably have to go 4-0 and win a tiebreaker match to do it.

Rip Chaos. Vtfaded completely cracked under the pressure today, not everyone can handle TI on their first try. The team just wasn’t gelling together either for the most part.

So the only way for NiP to survive is to 2-0 Infamous and EG while either Infamous, VP, or RNG get 0-2 twice? It seems... doable, but it hinges on EG 2-0 VP and then EG calming not trying against NiP because they secured upper bracket already. RIP EU

It seems that delaying the lvl15+arghs is important, but if they keep pressure up on him then Topson just runs around as Tiny and jobs them all. I'm suprised that more players aren't copying carry Io, since it's clearly the Ti9 pocket strat of pocket strats.

The problem with countering it is that it looks like nobody has been prepping an Io counter so trying to come up with things on the fly is going to be very hit and miss, I think OG know there *is* a counter (which is why they haven't saved it for main stage) but right now it becomes a must-ban against them if you haven't figured out how to stop it.

Imagine having to waste a second round ban in 2019 Ti9 on a carry Io. What a world we live in.
