they just voluntarily accepted these lanes where they got completely demolished. idk, i really dont understand not at least trying to give your clinkz or your bat a better game.

not lane swapping Clinkz for Bat was probably a mistake. yeah EG will probably swap with you but at least it's something.

yeah i think they just didnt expect the trilane top. i still dont really understand the clinkz pick though tbh. i feel like you can only pick clinkz if you know you wont have to play against naga, pl, or pa. maybe they could have gone for wraith king instead? it just seems like if you accept the laning configuration that game, youre just kinda giving up the game. you just need like 12000 net worth to fight as clinkz in this game.

As soon as Arkosh won, lukiluki immediately went live and started complaining and whining about his loss, his teammates, and the comms between with his teammates.

Is he a streamer? Offlane OD just seems so questionable, exactly because of how it played out. It’s like the only lane the hero doesn’t naturally do well in, because he’s so gankable playing that far from the tower, and when he falls behind on farm he just doesn’t do enough in fights. And it’s not like he wants to be playing solo across the river and taking pressure off his carry, which they desperately needed.

Luki is a streamer and got micro famous as NA’s greatest pango spammer. He got to like 9k mmr playing almost only that hero

Offlane OD is very, very good, lukiluki is just very bad.

The BTS stream kept pausing / buffering for me at home last night, DreamLeague stream is doing the same at the office this morning. Is Twitch just hot loving garbage? I never ever ever use the platform other than Pro DOTA once or twice a year.

yes it is definitely w33's fault that they lost and not the offlane alchemist. it's actually insane the degree to which people will blame w33 specifically for a loss rather than literally any other player on nigma. w33 is very good at dota and every time nigma loses it is not specifically w33's fault.

Nobody claimed that he was responsible for that loss.

That game was lost in the draft (offline alch is awful) w33’s performance is not responsible for the loss, that does not mean that he performed well.

No I'm saying that you're essentially a random redditor who doesn't know what he's talking about and should listen to what the actual pros say (which is that w33 is a very good player). It is in fact exactly like when redditors would flame ana all the time after ana won two majors; just listen to zai and trust that ana is a very good player. Similarly, just listen to everyone else in the scene and trust that w33 is a very good player.

Sampatrick posted:

The people who think w33 isn't a good player are only slightly more idiotic than the people who used to think ana was a bad player back in 2017. w33 is really, really good!

Sampatrick posted:

w33 and mc are, in fact, very good dota players and playing bad in one game is in no way an argument that theyre not lol

Sampatrick posted:

no i think w33 played amazing at ti6. his mirana was absolutely incredible, his invoker was amazing, and he played a ton of off meta stuff like magnus, ursa, and the skywrath game. he also played the best alch of anyone that tournament. moo only played timber in like 4 games that ti. if you go back to that tournament, it is indisputable that w33 owned. i hate on w33 more than anyone but ti6 is probably the best performance that w33 has ever had at any tournament.

im not blaming the loss on w33 im just specifically pointing out his performance as being bad which is of course completely unrelated to their loss. like come the gently caress on dude. youre going to bring up w33 having a mediocre lane and then ignore miracle feeding the one secured lane kuroky drafted over and over again. this poo poo is so dumb. i dont understand the hate that yall have for w33. hes been in the finals of two tis, basically every pro respects his play, like idk man. im sure that i could go back to the 2017 thread and find yall talking poo poo about ana. the constant making GBS threads on w33 is some serious reddit level poo poo.

i really like how large the mid hero pool is right now. it feels like almost any hero can be viably played mid nowadays. there are a couple clear tier 1 heroes like bat rider and puck but you also get your snapfires or grimstrokes or in this game slark. now the weird niche picks arent just cheese heroes, theyre just weird heroes which is pretty cool.
