Elephant are the favourites to take the CN slot right? Their lineup looks loving stacked and EHOME is the only other team with players I recognize (RNG IIRC was an underdog team)

Yeah, even though it seems like there's a few players who go by different names now (Paparazi/Maybe on Elephants, 起风了 on CDEC is Victoria), even flipping through aliases I still don't recognize 95% of these players

It's the same as "trolling" with racism, you're still just a racist lol. I am and will always continue to be angry that racists are prominent players and commentators!

Dog I’m literally from the border and Eg was my favorite team at the time and it hurt at the time. But I let it go because these guys were young and stupid. People are allowed to grow

They are! And growing, particularly as a public figure, involves admitting when you did bad things and apologizing for it. Also PPD wasn't that young, he was like 25-26 at the time, definitely old enough to know better lol

I think that OG is only team that when faced with a 4v5 against a carry axe with manta/blink/aegis and a super farmed Brood decides it's time to go in

yeah that was a blast, Topson played with no fear (Arguably to his teams loss) but drat if it wasn't fun to watch

on the one hand it's sorta weird that ana, topson, and jerax would all completely retire after their OG runs. Especially ana and topson, since they basically only ever played for og.



on the other hand, they made literally millions of dollars and no longer need to work so i mean

It seems like possibly a bad idea to force your big mechanical skill playmaker to be on an Alchemist who farms an aghs at the cost of their own game just so you can feed it to your second big mechanical skill playmaker who is playing a Medusa

OG is like 30 gold up, and it's time to go high ground which means that it's looking good for the kezu stack to 2-0 this.

Wonder how often OG are going to use the Alch as a flex pick now. They first-round it, other team expects the same setup, then they run it mid as a core

Does topson play alch? Alch mid doesn't have the flash factor that he usually plays.

this is a classic OG sort of strat, and accelerating Sumail so he can play more aggressively seems to be a good plan

Yeah I don't think this is something that works against a better team. A 12 minute aghs would be nuts even for a safelane pub match, much less a pro offlane game. Also yeah you could just ban it

I think this lineup might even be scarier than game 2 because if you all-in on the Medusa's farm, you could maybe get away with a Brood to counter it and you just dodge fights. This game Drow pushes so hard and the rest of the team are good hunters that I don't think you could get away with a Brood in this game
