ee lost with a 69% manila masters win rate hero LUL

I always take the 10% spell lifesteal, but then again I have a 10% bb winrate

[LiQuid!]

There's no way Sumail ever touches Storm again in this or any near future tournament, right? That aghs is disgusting.

 

[Qvoth]

i always thought if np could beat eg it would be 2-0, now that eg won game 2 i think they'll take game 3 as well

 

[Drkirby]

Why is slacks on the panel again?

 

[Guru-Guru]

Why is slacks on the panel again?

Wasn't this one of the tournaments that Sheever and ODpixel pulled out of? Without Sheever on the panel, I guess they were stuck with Slacks.

 

[Metroidvania]

Envy's on the waifu.

Time for some scientists being baffled.

Edit: But for real, NS and Nyx are gonna have to get some great pickoffs to offset the teamfight advantage.

 

[shira]

Double Tupple

 

[Metroidvania]

Position 5 bat seems like an odd choice.

And then Envy goes in and dies, lol.

 

[Qvoth]

game's over, np is tilting
the whole team really has 0 mental fortitude

[Sigismundo]

And they just happened to get time to compose themselves.

the fix is in.

 

[Monochromaticx]

and now pld and aui remember why they left c9

 

[neurosisxeno]

...why is PLD on Batrider?

 

[Drkirby]

This game isn't going to badly, networth is still very even for how bad the early game went for NP.

[Guru-Guru]

EE is my fav player to watch. Win or lose, entertainment factor is always at max. I hope he never retires.

 

[Metroidvania]

What a clutch timing chrono.

But then the reversal.

But then the buybacks.

Grand final will disappoint after this series.

Once puck hits 25 it's ~1000 gpm

 

[Gxgear]

Feels bad when even I can tell the game was lost at the draft.

 

[pislit]

not a good look

 

[neurosisxeno]

PLD on batrider. I seriously cannot wrap my head around this. He also went for a BKB rather than Force Staff and/or Blink Dagger which I think is a huge mistake.

 

[shira]

Envy can't be the drafter and carry but he doesn't trust anyone else to do those roles.

 

[Drkirby]

Gg

 

[shira]

Smoke to chain feed

 

[Sigismundo]

And that's why Envy needs to stop being picked up by pro teams. Position 5 Batrider.

 

[Monochromaticx]

trash draft from np

 

[close to the edge]

NP looking really solid overall. Some weird drafts (as per usual) but the new players and Aui back on 4 position is definitely an upgrade to before.

NP is his team. It's not like he made a team and then was picked up. I think he needs to give up on drafting because they have all the individual skill in the world but Envy's drafts are often garbage tier.

 

[shira]

SVG gets his revenge

 

[Pkaz01]

This is like the worst panel.. why did them put them on for the last day?

I know.

 

[Metroidvania]

That was clinical play by EG for the most part.

NP was at a definite disadvantage draft-wise, and after the game started, no one on NP could really take advantage of a lasso, especially with Bristle losing mid as he did. Meanwhile, Razor versus Luna/bristle means crazy stolen damage.

 

[Gxgear]

NP ended up being a victim of its own success up to this series. Too predictable in their picks and got outdrafted super hard. The game 1 win was the trojan horse, probably thought Phoenix wasn't a threat. Boy, were they ever so wrong, hero of the match right there.

[Fevaweva]

Despite the bad loss, I am really liking this new NP. They have a hell of a lot of potential to go real deep at TI.

It's a super hard NA qualifier depending if there are 2 or 3 invites.

Thunderbirds, Digital Chaos, Complexity, isGG

I'm really hoping for an NP/EG invite, and then 2 spots for NA Qualifier. It's hard to say that NA isn't a strong region right now--NP just proved they are damn good, EG is consistently Top 4, Thunderbirds has been on and off amazing, DC is looking really strong these days, coL plays really well when they show up, and Team Freedom has posted a lot of upsets over the likes of coL and Thunderbirds in qualifiers.

But I'm sure we'll get like 3 China Invites and 3 China Qualifier spots because we really need 4-5 teams from 1 region to get knocked out first round.

 

[shira]

soap opera

 

[Monochromaticx]

soap opera ? with slacks ?

 

[shira]

Why can't they just do the Macho Man contest?

 

[Twookie]

Sumail is so fucking good, his back must hurt from carrying his team all the time.

the series were insanely exciting, NP was playing pretty good too.

Good quality dota

 

[Sigismundo]

Who you got for grand finals?

 

[misses bull]

Who you got for grand finals?

Ez finals 4 rtz

 

[Qvoth]

i like zai and rtz but i think i'd be happier for a newbee win
i like sccc and kpii

 

[neurosisxeno]

EG > Newbee 3-1 imo.

Edit: Man I'm good.

 

[Monochromaticx]

newbee 3-2
