I'm not actually watching this game because SGDQ going on and the draft is bad. I thought they were getting stomped, sad that isn't the case.

Not really - Archon isn't getting far enough ahead. What are they going to do against a maxed out naga?

Oh yeah. I was killing you.
The MVP/Archon game is actually pretty much over, they don't have the heroes to stop a Naga that has hit critical mass plus a TA with this much farm.

hey korok should i max shadow strike like you came out of the shadows to strike your girlfriend, blink like she did when you punched her in the face, scream of pain like the one she let out as you maliciously attacked her or sonic wave like the one emitted by the police sirens as they apprehended you?

We're talking about a dieback, though, where you basically have 100 seconds of QO not jumping in and wrecking two+ of your team at once.

But yeah. TA, good hero against Ember.

Yeah but the TA was out for 2 minutes. If Ember is able to kill Naga, they can push down one lane pretty quickly. Still, Naga with octarine can probably stall out those two minutes.

Fair point though I don't remember how many outer towers were up for MVP so I dunno if Archon could have gotten rax in time.

I think all of the t2 towers were still up, maybe one in the sidelanes was down but I don't think so

I hope some of these teams in the winner's bracket pick some heros that aren't in the meta so that we can cross them off the list.
