    God, Winter Wyvern is such a shit hero who should not be picked. There are unpicked heroes at TI right now that I would pick before it. Even Techies.

    OGs draft fucking sucked. They GG'd out on the draft. Stop picking that shit hero.

    Only a few teams made it work but OG have now played it 6 times with a single win against the worst team at the tournament. It's food for anyone with catch.

    Liquid is my last hope for a team with players I like.

    OG should've been banning out Magnus instead of trying to use him.

    Matumba man shrugging off these ruptures is making me laugh every time. One time with cheese, another with illuminate.

    I will laugh for a week if CM finally gets Aghs and Rubick steals her ulti to end the game.

    This game will still be going when it's time to start the next series tomorrow.

    When Kaci goes into labor and gives birth to her child, Liquid will still be trying to take that last rax.

    every time there's a big fight, I look at the buybacks and realize that nothing actually happened.

    I honestly did not find that game boring. It was tense all the way, even if it ended up the way it did.

    I can't imagine how the players felt.

    Are you kidding? I go AFK for 1 min for a bio and the game is over.

    Thought it was going to go for 30 mins more. What happened?

    spoilers, obviously
    A few pickoffs happened, and liquid went hard for the rax with some baits. They get the rax, lycan gets rapier and dies while chasing seeker. VP sees their one and only chance to win, and dives for the dire ancient. Liquid managed to hold them with buybacks and get 2 kills on seeker, which ended the game.

    52 fantasy points for me from wards placed alone. Wish either of the support cards I used had bonuses for that.

    That's almost always how ultralong games go. They end incredibly quickly once someone messes up.

    7.07

    Nightstalkers night vision reduced by 200
    Nerfed KoTL
    Blood seeker 25 blood rage talent reduction reduced by 4 seconds
    Removed Winter Wyvern from Captains Mode so people stop picking it

    Joking obviously.

    I wonder if we'll see a good wyvern game now.
    It's 0-4 on main stage.

    Yeah, it's been fascinating seeing the hero constantly picked by western teams. In theory I guess it makes sense from a anti-melee core standpoint. But the hero, even with constant buffs lately is still pretty terrible. Mostly because her spells have zero synergy and do poor single target burst damage, meaning (at least to me) she's a shit position 5 because she desperately needs items and levels to be dangerous. And because most teams are far too good to bunch up to the point her ult has any value beyond burning bkb timers.

    She's till dumpster tier until frog decides to fix her ult back to the way it was.

    yeah when you drop a meatball on a chrono that big and can't get anything out of it you know the game is over.

    That stupid Slark pachinko game is aggravatingly rigged. I think 3 weeks in a row now its made sure to put the ball at the minimum amount of points you could get.

  • SLyMSLyM Registered User regular
    oh yeah for sure. Put your ball on the far right, watch as it veers all the way to the left at the last possible moment. It isn't even subtle.

    He's lacking enthusiasm / charisma, but he doesn't sit around doing any dead air really (unless someone passes on to him with a joke). He actually knows what is going on and how to explain what he observed. With a little coaching he could learn how to be a desk commentator.

    Anyway WHAT DID I TELL YOU GUYS? This series was going to be the thing to see.

    Well done Bulba. Way to recover from that "blue team vs yellow-green" thing.

    It's so hard to tell who is winning, goddamn. Liquid winning objectives, but VP is up on kills and sorta on farming. Liquid loses some sort of team fight, but picks up the Aegis after retreating? The fuck is going on?
