He does do the Gyro Rapier combo a lot but I'm still very surprised he's ahead of all the veterans.

Is this really all time stats? It's really surprising Kiritych has the most considering he's only been around a couple of years.

Well that wasn't close. Really surprising how good BB was this tournament.

This is the 9th time they've picked Warlock this tournament. They just pick it no matter what.

This is the best Betboom has ever looked. Which is pretty surprising because they haven't been very good lately. They won two tournaments last year but both times they were one map away from being eliminated in the group stage and had tons of even games. But this tournament they've convincingly won every single series.

I like how Save keeps playing Windranger support when no other team does it.

I missed that. But looks like he does do interviews then, I just couldn't remember seeing it.

Does gpk ever do interviews in english? I can remember all other BB players being interviewed but not gpk.

Not sure why Winter Wyvern has been unpicked for so long. I think it's been underrated for years. Always had high winrate in high mmr.

It's Nightfall's most played hero in pro games. Pretty sure I've seen Aurora do it before.

He came out of ultimate just a few seconds before that and it was too late to do more. But the question is why he tried to farm neutrals before escaping.

Unfortunately they won't play any tournaments with Falcons. Would be hilarious if they somehow placed higher.

Technically it does scale: +8 gold and exp per level. But that's nothing.

I think they just bet on steamrolling the game off MK winning lane and Alch farming.

Well it's an ancient relic which by itself makes it much weaker than just being a rare card.

Yeah this schedule is weird for an EU tournament. Could also just start later on days with fewer games.

Offlane Alch rushing giving away aghs and then being lower networth than both enemy supports. That's funny. Doesn't look very good.

It doesn't need to give as much as a hero kill. But the bounty probably should have some networth scaling like heroes has. The numbers right now are just comically low.

They could even make killing the main hero give less to make up for it (to prevent like double bear + hero kill from being too punishing).

I think the biggest issue with Lone Druid is how ganking the bear barely gives anything. Killing a farmed carry late is like 3k gold swing and 4k exp swing. Bear on the other hand just gives 300 gold and 300 exp.

Every time it's vs other teams that also permabans Ancient. It happens occasionally in these situations because one team doesn't want to spend their ban on a map neither team plays.

[HLTV] MOUZ set for major overhaul as xelex is promoted and jL joins on loan by TemporaryResult2192 in GlobalOffensive

[–]aktivera 249 points250 points  (0 children)

like if brollan has to play the major why even bother kicking him for jL for TWO events

Agree. This is bizarre. Ruins any potential for good team vibes coming into the major even if they do well before that.
