terrorblade seems way, way too strong, I don't know why he isn't autobanned like brood is

like the only real counter to TB is 'end the game before 30m'

WW, PL, Naga, SD

The cores and SD are a bit weak right now though.

Are they? I feel like both times I watched someone Naga a Terrorblade at the Major, they won.

Quincy don't have anything to solve puck, I'm not sure taking this late is great for them despite the TB.

Yes, because it's a TB counter and the games were really good for it. Naga generally a bit weak, though, which is why we don't see it much otherwise.

T1 is a really consistent team, a little boring to watch, but man they really understand macro-dota.

T1 played the map better but having a free Puck game makes that relatively easy when the game is even.

It turns out that a great way to counter TB is to have the person playing TB be a moron

T1 just showed they were straight up the better team. Tbh it looked like that in Animajor as well, but they played more cleanly here than in AniMajor.

I'm glad that if only one team from SEA got the invite it was T1, I'm looking forwards to seeing them against top teams again at TI. They were a step ahead of QC that whole series.

i'm really wondering why og keeps letting nigma invoker through, since constantly banning it ended up being a key to dismantling them at the animajor. do they want to practice against nigma invoker for the quals or something?

and?
it's pretty hard to ban Invoker first round right now because it doesn't really crush any lane matchups and it's not usually one of the more broken patch heroes. This is the upside of having players that are insanely good at slightly off-meta stuff, kind of similar to Nigma being the team that's always willing to pick Io and getting tons of respect bans for that in the past
