i dont think it was like that all game though? My guess is it had to do with rewinding the game and how things can get fuckin weird when you do that

I remember it always being something you did when you were at least behind, if not desperate, but I could be wrong

I think you didn't necessarily buy it if you were comfortably ahead but it was basically the item you bought for your sixth slot because by then you were mostly unkillable anyway.

Also I was just looking at the standings and Vikin.gg taking game one over Agressive Mode has put Nigma in serious danger of finishing last in the group, which would mean they straight up miss the minor quals.

When it's just PPD losing that's fine but now he's dragging universe through the mud with him and that's hosed up

I wonder if Truesight this year caused Nigma problems. I mean there's nothing like the entire Dota community celebrating your loss, and a two hour documentary showing all your mistakes in glorious HD.

oh, yeah, i should have been more specific. what seems unique now is people are buying it anywhere from 2nd major item (manta->rapier) to 4th major item, going for aegis and just ending the game

Yeah I think that TI just happened to be a good patch for them + they all have tons of experience in high pressure games since they've all been in a TI finals before, which I'd imagine helps as well against teams that maybe feel the extra pressure.

Yeah but OG.Seed/Nigma is also up on the main esl dota channel and if OD.S 2-0s them then Nigma finishes last in the group lol. Also gives OG.S a one point lead over Aggressive Mode with the last series being Secret/AM

Honestly the only one to watch is OG.


I think that OG has easily the best non-player staff. Their marketing, timing, etc is just on point.

Gorgc has 36000 viewers on these games. That's nuts.

Also we get OG bigdaddynotail Furion. Come on.
OG.s is playing Nigma, if they loose to the OG junior squad Kuro could end up completely broken.

I mean it’s understandable Gorgc gets this much viewership when OG has a new roster, they’re back from their TI break, and they announced gorgc as their official streamer. Bulldog no longer the king of dota 2 streaming
