If LC got blademail Troll would have basically kill himself.
Bad farm on OD also cost them a lot.

Ana MVP for me for game 5. He was shut down completely, Ench creeps were in his lane, he had like half the CS of the OD but he never really fell behind in farm even when OG was behind 3-18. No idea how he does it.

Amazing series. So tense. I was riveted. Wonderful plays by all.
I really love VP's early aggression, but I felt as if they just went as 5 once they had an advantage and that was it, which was immensely disappointing to me. And OG winning without an illusion hero is also sweet. They get a lot of shit on reddit for that playstyle, but they proved they're more versatile than that, and that they're also frighteningly good at keeping their cool and fighting from behind. Two of their three wins in this series was from a very rough start - 17k at the first game, and 10k at the second game. These aren't situations you just casually return from.
Ana... man, what a player. He may not be the best at the laning stage, but fortunately a game of dota doesn't end at minute 10, and this guy's recovery is just out of this world. N0tail is the most unique carry I know in how much of a team player he is. s4 creatures beautiful chaos, JerAx always provides the most ballsy plays, and Fly somehow impresses as a friggin' position 5. How do you do that?
I had a great time. Thanks to all of the players, and kudos to all of the teams for being so good.

What's this about?
Not any boothcam reactions from the finals teams at the end this time?
that sucks :&
He was pretty mad about OG winning in Boston IIRC, complained a lot about map movements, or making moves in the enemy jungle without vision and things like that.
If he's talking about what I'm thinking about it's probably this

Hope OG can get top 10 TI this time, where the big players come with their game.
OG has now won the Eaglesong, Reaver and Mystic Staff
If they win TI this year they will conquer everything Dota has to offer
I argue they are the best team in the history of the game right now, but that would pretty much make it undeniable and is something no team realistically has the chance to replicate

Wasn't the original Crimson Guard crafted using those items?
It really is such an elusive tournament for OG especially for fly and notail. For them to perform well there would be the icing on the cake. They're obviously one of the great Dota teams now with their domination of the majors but their results at TI really casts a shadow over them and I feel is the main reason they don't seem to get there respect they deserve sometimes. Amazing feat either way, I'll be cheering for them at TI

Apparently the socialites on Reddit took great issue with the "Girls of Kiev" segment PGL did. I'm beginning to hate the words "cringe" and "cringey".
it's like I'm on bulldogs stream!

- Heroes missing Immortal items:
STR (9) doom, beastmaster, treant, io, eldertitan, lifestealer, lycan, chaos knight, underlord
AGI (8) naga siren, troll warlord, monkey king, viper, clinkz, broodmother, terrorblade, arc warden
INT (9) jakiro, chen, kotl, oracle, techies, dark seer, batrider, shadow demon, winter wyvern
Several of these 26 are going to get buffed - especially the ones with water themes. I'm guessing Naga.

As apparent by the fact that they just loved "Lord Cucksworth".
Monkey King and Mag. I kinda hope Jugg gets nerfed because I'm sick of seeing him in like 80% of Pub and Pro games.
