    I'm watching on the n00b stream cause I know absolutely nothing about DOTA :) Didn't know they had it till today, so I'm looking forward to seeing if I can learn even the basics from it.

    When did decunduo start playing for EG? :p


    So who is coming to the final in odessa?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 966 ✭✭✭GO_Bear


    4 is a bit early, what time do you reckon the grand final will actually kick off ? Will pop in after 7, hopefully won't start till then

    Given the line ups, I don't think item choice played into it much. More like Zai was way too behind in G2. G1 was an auto loss lane, and TA is horribad vs early 5 mans, they picked her to do roshes and the laning stage went horribly. That being said, maybe treads armlet on alch...

    I'd say it would start around 6 from looking at the other days but who knows.

    By the time he got midas it was over, zai ****ed himself as well with the ancient stack.

    Or even Medallion + ogre club for the price of that midas, would of sped up the rosh significantly. They need to stop giving Mason melee carries and give the void to Universe


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,327 ✭✭✭NeoSlicerZ


    Switching to Mason limited their play style a fair bit, and rtz has never built utility on his heroes. I'm unsure if medallion + ogre axe would have been enough, though that is sing's standard build. Using the medallion just leads to alch dying too fast. I actually kinda liked the draft in G2, but hated the laning. I thought it would be a mid timber (crushes DK), offlane void (does perfectly fine vs prophet, ok-ish vs tri), farming potm + support alch. As I said though, the issue was Enigma getting crushed by the roaming support threat.

    Overall, needlessly risky greedy drafts.

    After DK vs EG, 'twas all downhill. Pretty sad to see how the games were mostly ended before creeps spawned...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,265 ✭✭✭BlackWizard


    That was good craic lads! Pity about the matches. At least it's not like soccer where it's 1-0 for 90min...

    the worst dota match is more interesting than any soccer match :p
