So will LDG or Vici pick up core Io, or is it just gonna be a permanent draft disadvantage for Chinese teams?

The way to fix Tiny is to make it so that the items he buys don't apply to tree throw. The fact that his spell can crit is dumb as hell

I'd expect a ban instead. Happy to be wrong though! Also I love that OG give so few fucks they show the most broken hero at the start of groups cus ana felt like playing it.

Pro DotA runs into problems when a hero can do multiple things really well, like Tiny being a roaming burst ganker and somehow a super hard carry late game. Or the whole Io thing

I'm not sure carry IO is gonna be a huge deal outside of the pro level because actually hitting those spirits on a moving target consistently is way harder than they're making it look of course that's not going to deter the idiots who try it in pubs, farm halfway through a helm and then start feeding but w/e

the real annoying poo poo is echo sabre slowing during tree volley, that poo poo makes you get hit like twice as many times as you should

Gonna be a lot of feeders though.

core io is 100% at 6 picks this event, which makes him a more popular and more winning core than Lycan (2 picks, 0%), Drow Ranger (3 picks, 0%), Chaos Knight (5 picks, 60%), Luna (5 picks, 40%), Zeus (5 picks, 0%), Underlord (6 picks, 50%), Bloodseeker (6 picks, 50%), Viper (6 picks, 33%), Huskar (6 picks, 33%) and Pudge (6 picks, 16%) if we get to 7 games, even with a loss, Io would have a better record than Meepo and Clinkz
