its incredibly ownage that one of their players is like "hey I'm gonna take a break guys", they're all like "yeah okay, have fun buddy", then just gently caress around for the whole season doing nothing of note, then get back together right before TI and loving win it again what absolute gods

Fucks about all year, comes back for the biggest tournament, yolo plays a fuckin IO carry cause he wants to, proceeds to destroy any other teams chances of out drafting OG and lifts the aegis. That they didn't even practice- not that it's the hardest strat in the world tbf. Niceguy ana even didn't buyback to let liquid have one win in the GF. Too kind

This was a good TI, but I have to be real: TI8 grand finals. Game 4. Was a legit out of body experience I had. It was just insane being there in person

Yeah TI8 was far more of a screaming finals but this one was satisfying in its own way. I just wish LGD didn't loving mess up cause OG LGD finals was my ideal match

My team won, that was a FUN AS gently caress set with so many highlights, but Ceb's call and the turnaround in game 4 of TI was a moment of a lifetime. I don't know enough about real sports to come up with a comparison... but it was a moment

I also think that being mediocre for most of the year and barely qualifying is actually kind of an OG strat, back when they were winning majors back to back Icefrog just nerfed their strategies into the ground so when TI came around they were at a severe disadvantage. Now they kind of fly under the radar and when it's time to perform they unleash their true skill.

As a partisan OG fan, as much as I enjoyed these, the TI8 grand final was unquestionably better as a game. This one was far funnier, and I had a ton of fun watching them just run at Liquid like madmen, but the TI8 final was much more intense and swingy.

They're also rich enough without anything to prove, as long as they get invited to TI they can afford to gently caress around and save up their  for TI. ana literally took 6 months off!

I feel like this TI was basically OG proving to the world that they are the best team in Dota, and even if they all quit Dota forever tomorrow, they would be so for quite some time. just loving lol at all the idiots going OG winning TI was a fluke last year

Zyla posted:that game two was the platonic ideal of playing dota with your friends Seriously, it was the best game I've ever watched, but there wasn't like a stand out highlight play. Not that it wasn't amazing, but it there was no lynch pin moment. It's sad that even though in a Ti GF you get Enigma and Tide you don't get a single standout play, instead you just get jobbed all over the map.

So Io spirits talent. Does Icefrog: 1) straight up replace it with a different talent 2) move it as-is to level 20 3) buff it and move it to 25

Sampatrick posted:flak cannon does not apply mana burn Yeah but doesn't the Agh's attacks? That's 50 mana every 1.1 seconds, along with your normal attack, so that's about 100 mana/sec lost, against a Bristle that wants a long fight, to stack up Quills, it's not good, not good at all.

It’s tough because OG really did have a rough year without Ana in the first part of the DPC. They made it to no majors until Ana came back. But that was the final piece of the puzzle that they needed. Ana. It’s just incredible

Their strat of topson clowns around and either feeds, carries or both while giving ana space needs an ana to give space to. Having said that while topson still fed this TI it did seem a lot less and was almost always value one way or another.

You can't actually control what the side gunner hits so you're not getting that guaranteed mana loss from side gunner. Don't get me wrong, it was a really good item pickup, but it wasn't like hero breaking or whatever.

honestly I feel like this TI feels less satisfying than the last one due to how the new patches keep on adding more and more outlandish abilities without any forethought. I mean carry io is fun but that aghs is not well-balanced at all, and tiny is ridiculously strong at all points in the game due to how they keep on changing everything about him.
