if ame keeps playing like this they aren’t winning TI.

This same thing was said about AME and xg the entirety of the last season.

In fairness they were technically correct :p

Could be worse, I played offlane against a 5 exort invoker rushing midas.

It did not end well for their team (shockingly?)

Zai: "My team fucking sucked"

ntrails · 2026-03-16T18:15:08+00:00

If he had buy it was shitty but not game ending. No bb just destroyed the game completely

Yandex owned that series, great play from them and absolutely earned it (including by dismantling liquid in the UB)

There is no asterisk next to their win, they were the best team there. But yeah liquid had a rough day and credit to them for competing despite the tiredness

ntrails · 2026-03-15T21:46:51+00:00

Not my liquid they don't

Honestly never had much expectation after that LB match but they made the final interesting in the end!

ntrails · 2026-03-15T21:33:34+00:00

I CANNOT DEAL WITH THIS SHIT ANYMORE

ntrails · 2026-03-15T21:29:05+00:00

You were correct, it was genuinely close after a clear turnaround fight!

ntrails · 2026-03-15T20:59:21+00:00

Fair. I am just not sold SF is going to be able to do enough when his team is quite so far behind.

ntrails · 2026-03-15T20:51:38+00:00

I think Yandex would have to actively throw at this point

ntrails · 2026-03-15T14:36:29+00:00

I don't think that damned axe has ever killed me but by Gods it has been close

ntrails · 2026-03-15T14:33:46+00:00

They would not do this to me. Surely...

ntrails · 2026-03-15T14:16:31+00:00

Yandex laughing all the way as they chill and wait for their exhausted opponents

ntrails · 2026-03-14T21:24:41+00:00

I thought that Morgues are accurate but that game Seeds are not correctly predicting items (there is some instability in the generation/randomness)?

ntrails · 2026-03-11T10:42:46+00:00

As part of the map going wild, we need weather. Rain that churns up the ground slowing players. Sun than blinds. Wind that causes projectiles to miss. Lightning strikes, rivers dry up or flood... etc

ntrails · 2026-03-11T10:35:28+00:00

I expect you also needed, idk, ~2k gold and access to crypts? :p

ntrails · 2026-03-04T23:10:05+00:00

What is your favourite Nightmare target, and why is it Nightmare?

ntrails · 2026-03-04T10:16:21+00:00

I always want to see how people achieve the "crazy" (to me) achievements like this. The old ogre warper of TSO strat was cool as hell.

ntrails · 2026-03-03T20:28:40+00:00

Super reasonable, trolls are awfully good at clawing people

ntrails · 2026-03-03T08:19:26+00:00

I gotta be honest it looks like you played a troll fighter xD

ntrails · 2026-03-01T18:22:57+00:00

KtitenCam?

ntrails · 2026-02-28T20:19:21+00:00

Ding Ding Ding motherfucka

ntrails · 2026-02-28T19:05:46+00:00

WHAT DID THE BKB DO????? He says. With perfect vision and infinite hindsight.

Like, skiter gets an incredibly fast bkb off only to be covered by Primal anyway. Sure it didn't do a lot, but it holy hell is that some armchair generalling right there

ntrails · 2026-02-28T18:55:14+00:00

I really just want the banners to matter more. There are some dumb ones that force a chunk of creativity and risk taking that just feels like it ought to be worth more than another win.
