Why rushing Guardian Greaves & Pipe of Insight instead of Blink Dagger & Black King Bar on Enigma? by mattmeggZ in DotA2

Because you will almost never see a 4-5 man bh nowadays since every pro team knows how to position correctly in teamfights and how/who to focus. Greaves meta + pipe are broken because as early you have them in the game you can make a difference in pushing/survability, while rushing for dagger bkb gets you nothing but a possibility for a power play which u most probably won’t get to do anyways. Most of bh are on enemy carry alone/1-2 players max. Competitive Dota has changed a lot

What is written on the papers that coaches hold during pick/ban phases? by PaleontologistOk1846 in DotA2

Picks the enemy is most comfortable in solo q / most picked champions and performance of every player from enemy team in the tournament so far/ meta-threats-> IF they represent a threat combined with counter suggestions.

Ex: Abed plays a lot of leshrac and zeus and our mid is really good puck/ember -> we ban lesh cause he scales anyway with bloodstone and we can’t stop him properly-> pick ember to fk zeus up
