YOUR TI9 BACK-TO-BACK CHAMPIONS ARE OG!!!

Ana, Topson, Ceb, Jerax, and Notail have now cemented themselves as not only the greatest dota 2 team at this moment, but are the greatest dota 2 team to ever live. Two TIs! Back to back!!!! This is actually incredible

I feel like what I learned tonight is the game is super loving swingy with gold leads. Game 1 and 4 turned on a dime and one of the LGD games did, too. See everyone next time, barring a global catastrophe happening. But hey at least OG can afford a huge underground shelter if it does.

This is still way, way cooler than if EG had won.

Game 4 was literally just a timer waiting for Io aghs + 15. Liquid had to win before that or have such a big lead it didnt matter.

So is this the most dominant TI win by a team? Like Wings were great and Alliance was as well until the finals but OG just seemed on another level the whole way through.

Liquid ti7 still the only final to go 3-0.

But OG could easily have done it this time but for that massive miscalculation on buybacks.

As someone who was at almost every game at TI4 no one will ever be as dominant as Newbee

Instead of the Aegis, it should be Dendi sitting on the throne for the entire Tourney and if you win you get to take him home for the year and just hang out with him.

OG only got to use it twice on the main stage (against newbee and in this game) because it was banned all the time

Secret used it and won the game, also I think Liquid, but they lost that game.

Three times before today, I think. Maybe four if Liquid used it as a support. Also that second part of your post provides important context to your confusion.

I assume he was talking about the newbee win which in that case is accurate except the more dominant part. Newbee lost a game without it being a fluke.

Carry io was used three times and only lost once by Secret. It went undefeated in groups used by OG. You are definitely 100% wrong. It is most definitely the best hero in the game at this moment.

that was an artifact of a flawed patch that one team broke - playing the exact same thing every game. IMO showing huge breadth of strategy proves OG is by far the best and more dominant
