cosplay has grown massively with patreon being a thing, all of these cosplayers are very likely full timers

We're all friends here
I'm amazed that there's actually 2 Treant costumes, that's not the first hero I'd expect people to cosplay

And they're both great

Edit: Honestly the Earthshaker might be my favourite

Alch Ench Io Chen Magnus

that's the pool for the first three bans against OG. I don't know how LGD got away with the game 1 draft where Alch wasn't touched, but I don't think OG will be giving away any more "freebies" like that

TI winrates, excluding carry Io, and adding the also busted ET:
-Chen 61%
-ET 58%
-Ench 56%
-Alch 55%
-Mag 52%

also while I'm at it, cool stat: Jugg has an exact 50% winrate with 84 picks

If it’s Secret I think Puppey will have some crazy plan to blow up the Wisp, but otherwise I think Mag and Tidehunter are musts.

What was done to ET to make him so popular?

Fuuuuck you for making me remember that.

Was that the worst meta?

I always thought the shadow demon illusion meta was just as bad. I quit watching for probably my longest period after seeing the thousandth tier 3 being taken by Mirana illusions.
