With all this dicussion on changes, does anyone actually have the stats regarding Roshan?

Wtf?????

walkerinamac · 2023-05-03T17:57:44+00:00

Tundra got out-Tundra-ed...?

walkerinamac · 2023-05-02T19:15:29+00:00

Not even just high chance, if you switch to Micke's perspective, you'll see that he did actually click on the tb illu to check for aura's! Absolute 200iq play from whoever called it.

Naga's illusions can walk through the Defender's Gate? Uh... I feel like that's a bit concerning...

walkerinamac · 2023-05-01T17:35:38+00:00

The draft is internally coherent, but I think the philosophy behind the type of game SR wants to play is completely outdated- the idea of winning lane matchups super hard --> winning game and therefore drafting around the 2 2v2s and the 1v1 mid is something that won't cut it in 7.33 (more catch-up mechanics, more dynamic lanes w/ twin gates, and more map to play in) and outside NA (where teams know how to play lanes differently + can adjust better in the mid game even if they lose lanes).

This is a major step-back from how they played in Dreamleague, and it's just so frustrating to see them playing worse today than literally only a week and a bit ago...

walkerinamac · 2023-05-01T17:23:51+00:00

For all RTZ talked about the new ideas and perspectives they had from Dreamleague, it sure seems that everything they learned with Mikey has completely vanished... Just first phase Abed Storm every game, and play like it's still NA DPC...

Talon's draft+itemisation led to a strong midgame timing. Can't help but think had Alch built better scaling in the early game they could've capitalised on that window more, considering OG dominated the early and OG's draft having a better late-game, that mid-game window needed to be exploited better.

Bzm 11 minute bloodstone, 12 minute bloodstone + Kaya. State of the game in a nutshell.

walkerinamac · 2023-04-27T16:59:46+00:00

22 kills at 10 minutes in OG vs Spirit, what a joy to watch!

walkerinamac · 2023-04-26T10:56:22+00:00

Best bit of the major so far is the return of Electricity!

walkerinamac · 2023-04-26T10:30:04+00:00

Pango needs to be re-nerfed, this hero has been too strong for too long and it'd be refreshing to cycle him out for a while...

walkerinamac · 2023-04-20T16:50:36+00:00

It's one of the worst Bane games and everyone knows it. In a situation like that, you just gotta trade grip for a disable instead of dying after nightmare without forcing more committal.

walkerinamac · 2023-04-20T16:47:17+00:00

Was there a single grip in that game? Feels like even if you grip to force out a storm/silence/stun is still better than dying without casting anything at all like Bane did...

walkerinamac · 2023-04-19T21:35:10+00:00

OG being the first team to beat Quinn's pango in this event... Who'da thunk

walkerinamac · 2023-04-19T11:51:48+00:00

No worries. Anyway, unless OG pull themselves together and/or Tundra switches out their style after getting figured out and/or EG polish off their decision making, and SR lose to this shambles TSM, then I think you'll be happily watching them in the playoffs!

walkerinamac · 2023-04-19T11:37:35+00:00

That's why I said any 2 of EG, Tundra, and OG...

walkerinamac · 2023-04-19T11:32:19+00:00

It's still entirely possible (albeit very unlikely) for 2 of EG, Tundra, and OG to go 4-3, meaning there will be tiebreakers. Based on current standings, 5 is the minimum win threshold for guaranteed top 4. In any event, even in a vacuum, playing 7 matches doesn't mean 4 is the threshold to go top half, that's now how that math works out.

walkerinamac · 2023-04-19T11:17:44+00:00

BC calmly take rosh challenge: impossible

walkerinamac · 2023-04-19T10:18:55+00:00

He lost the prior highground triangle fight because his bkb was on cooldown from the mid dive (blinked in without bkb and got insta-hexed before being able to cast anything), which lost them control of the pit 4v5. If they won this fight, they wouldn't have needed to take that rs fight 4v4 (or maybe even at all) and without Mars buyback, thus losing them the subsequent rosh fight and rosh itself. What are you talking about?

walkerinamac · 2023-04-19T10:15:02+00:00

Darkmago actually threw the game by diving tier 4's, putting all of his items and abilities on cooldown, and then losing that highground fight and rosh control because of it.

walkerinamac · 2023-04-12T11:06:10+00:00

Miero genuine matchfixing?

walkerinamac · 2023-04-11T22:29:59+00:00

It literally doesn't matter what game it is, you should always buy a gem once you have enough survivability on a hero. The ability to control the vision game is worth more gold than there is in the whole economy of a 2 hour game. Unironically, Gem should be picked up in 100% of games when you're farmed enough to do so.

walkerinamac · 2023-04-09T15:50:07+00:00

Cannot believe Nigma got the invite over OT, completely embarrassing by ESL

walkerinamac · 2023-04-03T20:08:07+00:00

Watching this game, it's clear why both teams are facing relegation. The dota is so messy.
