Who was it last TI that tried to die in fountain and buyback to defend throne, but was a loving Krob with Heart so she didn't even die to the fountain?

Think that was DK with Mushi on Krobelus.

That also reminded me of C9s game where Bone7 suicided to the fountain to make it back but didn't have enough for Buyback so he died for nothing

Archon taking the MVP game 2 was fantastic throws.

Nah it wasn't. Archon were ahead and put themselves dangerously close to losing for no reason by just ignoring him. If AM had gone for the base instead of taking the second rax Archon probably lose right there but he didn't. MVP weren't gonna win that game but Archon decided to give them a chance which they wasted.

Naga kills my interest in a game the instant she's picked.

At least support naga is pretty interesting to watch and play.

You deserve to lose like this when you pick Naga and Viper in the same match.

We all know this isn't over, not as long as a Naga carry is in the game and especially because Archon is giving up kills without Naga even being there.

When the hero came out people a few people in the main Dota thread called her mediocre, specifically pointing out Cold Embrace as a useless skill that didn't do much that wasn't worth anything.

Always gotta keep that in perspective when reading.

Who said that? I don't remember anyone saying that, because it's very easy to tell even if you're terrible that cold embrace is really useful in many situations.

Is Oracle and Earth Spirit really OP compared to the clowntown already going on with Lesh, Tusk, Bloodshitter, and arguably QOP?

Yes, yes they are.

Bloodseeker isn't even being picked or banned it looks like.

Not really.

Then again, most of the bitching about Bloodseeker in the main thread is usually hyperbole. "OMG SOMEONE WENT TO 40% AND THEN BYLATCYKA GOT 120 DAMAGE AND 600 MS :byodood:" level poo poo.

So exactly like the techies bitching?

Kyrosiris posted:

No, because Techies actually warps the game and how everyone has to play. Bloodseeker just right clicks kinda hard and runs people down.

You think people don't have to change the way they play when a Broodmother or Tinker is picked in a similar way? I'll take playing a Techies over those two assholes any time of the day because at least with Techies you don't need specific heroes just to take him down yet they don't get bitched about nearly as much.

So in that situation was there anything that vega could really do? After all those times they were able to rebuff the pushes to their highground was winning a teamfight at their doorstep their only out?

Buy a silver edge at some point and shut Razor or Bristle down with it. Surprised they didn't do it all game honestly.

Don't bet your bloody future at TI on Slardar as the sole carry is all I'm saying.

Asuron
Nov 27, 2012
Don't bet on Slardar to carry your games. He just can't do it, especially when your other core is a Windrunner up against SF and Bristle.

Im torn between c9 empire and VP

I'd put IG on that list over VP honestly and C9 a bit lower, although it's honestly a tossup for top 6.

What's everyone watching? I'm going with Secret/Fnatic although it seems like an impossible choice.

Cloud 9 because I want to see the moment when they have a game in their hands and gently caress it up so hard because of some amazingly bad decision. It is the inevitable fate of C9.

Naga is being picked to gently caress this tournament two, she's in two of the three series currently.

She's always comes back for TI, every single year. It's like a tradition at this point.

Good hero gets picked??? OH NO

It's more like she disappears for a while before TI and then comes back to being a constant pick for the event.

I like Naga, especially support Naga which is how she's being played so far, so it's not like I'm even bothered by it.

I think C9 will either make it 1-1 after a long slog or will blow up really quickly because they went on tilt. I don't see an easy victory coming their way.
