Really the way to beat beast coast is just never let k1 farm but the problem is that his team is so drat good at making space by just attacking the rest of the map. Chris Luck especially is ridiculous. That Mirana out of nowhere today and then capping it off with his Slark was wonderful.

idk kinda feels like you beat beastcoast by winning lanes with a lineup that can actually push. bc loses lanes all the dang time but they get back into the game because the enemy team just isnt able to push objectives. theres a reason why beastcoast gets stomped every time they play against ta. stopping the carry from farming is a bit of an obvious thing that you have to do against any other dota team, its not really taking advantage of any specific weakness.

bc (and especially chris luck) is just a slightly worse version of og and their weaknesses are similar. chris luck specifically is like topson but with much weaker laning, even if he has all the post laning skill that topson has shown.

I was actually considering drawing the OG comparison but didn't want to get way ahead of myself, lol

Even OG stomps are fun because they pick off-meta or play heroes in off-meta lanes. It's great.

Honestly, NoTail and Ceb have already won Dota2 twice, so anything they do from this point is basically just for fun. It really shows in how they play, they have nothing prove and can just enjoy the game. This season/series is basically a NoTail victory lap.

the crazy thing is that theyre still so insanely good. they so clearly dont give a gently caress but also so clearly are one of the best teams around. i wish they were playing with their actual roster.
