General DiscussionPlayoff day 1

it's anyones game really. pro dota is so competitive now. no one is really dominant

I'd pick Benao any day.

bring back your old profile pic. i used to fap to it. now nothing excites me anymore

I think everyone picked what you have. I think only wings EG could swing, rest shouldn't even be close, but who knows? TNC knocked OG off at TI so anything can happen and Col is so inconsistent you never know.

Yeah where the fuck is redeye?!?! I do hope he is still the TI broadcaster.

Incredible game. I knew alche was an awesome pick but damn, both teams playing so well

whoooo GO EG!

I was actually shocked they won that alch game cus vs col I felt they didn't have enough playmakers and they didn't have much to stop the ss push. But sumail farmed like nuts and they won.

Second game I think wings got out drafted badly. I don't like lycan much this meta, and they picked two super defensive supports in disruptor and dazzle. I mean disruptor + slardar combo is good for glimpse into crush setups for pickoffs, but their supports offered very little dmg and they become totally reliant on weaver right clicks + lycan army when EG has so much aoe for that army, plus shapeshift cooldown. When you watched the game that's exactly what happened too, all the magic dmg teamfight obliterated wings early and their right clicks never caught up. If they had dropped dazzle for another team fighter like idk sand king (though they had an offlane already) outcome could've been a lot different.

And on EGs side shadow demon + luna is very strong right now.

Very exciting games now, just think wings has slipped a bit where they can't pick an unusual draft and beat everyone with it.

I thought they were gonna last pick invoker mid but the panel was asking for a crazy pick... and they went with lycan gg wp. Retarded pick imo and it made it extremely ez for EG

Game 1 was also relatively ez for EG, who knew Crit could pick teambased heroes, the stupid fuck probably got flamed to shit for picking shit time and time again. Besides, alche is pretty much ez win

edit: I'm so glad Col is getting shit on :D!! gogo WG.unity - Fnatic shouldn't feel so bad about getting trashed by them twice

I like Mr. Machine Richardson. He can shag me any day.

#nohom0 dude

and the guy $uck$, is irritating everyone (just watch the people in the panel and around the place), talks over people, repeats shit, cringe f$cking stuff, repeats stuff and more

hæhæ, purge almost got fired xD

Machine is annoying I agree
Never liked him ever since he started casting on CSGO

I've been out of the loop when it comes to pro dota, but i've seen a bit of him from videos and he seemed cool. Is this the different kind of cringe we see from Slacks? Different kind of irritating from 2GD? Cause people still like them a lot.

ANd what purge almost got fired? how'd that happen

He called off machine first and told him to $tfu

Later for the next game weather segment the guy appeared to be submissive and almost sucking machine dry (I went to sleep here)

- Conclusion - He got shit on, probably even almost fired

Later then again, the guy even apologized on reddit so he definitely got scared shitless and probably even peed on himself or something. It wasn't his fault yet he still did a "please don't hit me type of reddit reply excuse attributing his behavior to some audio problems"
