Second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
A tea, journal, dubs, and a pot change in a bread tree
The third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
Three French hands, tea, journal, dubs, and a pot change in a bread tree

Four calling words, three questions, two turtle dots, and a sausage in a pear tree.
The fifth day of Christmas, might you not get to leave?
Five golden rings, four calling birds,

Broke all in birds,
Sweet French hands,
Two-tailed ducks,
And a pocket in a pear tree.

Seven swans, it's human sex, he's a layman.
La, la, la, la, back on me.
Four calling birds, three banches.
Two turtle ducks and a bucket in a pantry.
A fire pantry.
The eighth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
Eight mazes of milking, seven swans of swimming
Six diesel lanes, all-a-la-la, bad golden rings
Four calling birds, three Frenchmen, two tell-ducks
And a pocket in a pair to me
I've got to get that tattoo
The 10th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me.
10th of Lord's a leaping night, played his dancing eight.
Made some milk and satan swans as when he sakes.
Peaceful ladies fall, lie, lie, lie, back on the wings.
Oh, calling birds sweet, bird chairs,
two turtle ducks, and a porpet in a pet tree.
Oh, I'll be your sweet
We'll have a day with Christmas, my tune, I'll get to leave
A lemon pie with pipe and cake, large and leaping nine lanes
Dancing eight, made to melt in seven swans
It's gonna take me to the lake
Oh, I'll love the love fire calling me
Four calling bread, sweet French hands, teachers and girls, and a party in a factory.
The 12th day of Christmas, but you don't get to me.
12th from the strumming, 11th power, fighting, 10th lords,
We're living a high life, no need for trouble or strife.
Cocktail party, Broadway lights,
Army nominees, see the sights.
Monday morning, we catch a plane down the coast to Santa
Pei.
Wherever we are, it's never the same,
where there's fun and dance, we will play.
We live in a high life, no need for trouble or strife.
Cartel parties, Broadway lights, on and out, let me see the flasks.
Friday night, we hit the town, eat caviar and drink champagne.
A life of luxury fit for the crown, a life for life that we can't contain.
But whatever the party, wherever we land, being with you makes me feel grand.
I just don't care, the love that we share is beyond compare
Because we live in a high life, no need for trouble or strife
The tell party needs probably lights, on and on let me see the sights
On and on let me see the sights
It's been a while since I see you smile in my face
With so much love in here, what a feeling

Our love was a chance encounter, a glance across the stream.
In fleeting moments, two strangers meeting that swept me off my feet.
Golden leaves, other an autumn sun, he talked about the movies and how your life begun.
A life we together, who all kind of weather, and our hearts grew strong.
Our love was a chance encounter, a glance across the stream.
The fleeting moments, two strangers meeting that swept me off my feet.
The buzz of traffic, the bright city lights.
We talked about marriage, who you didn't buy.
We taught for hours and I brought you flowers and our hearts grew strong.
How can something so special be mere and happen, Stance?
Was it destiny calling or just life's little dance?
Our love was a chance encounter, a glance across the street.
Fleeting moments, too strange as me, that swept me off my feet.
Let's set me on my feet
To be when we're together feels like the red lights know that will melt away
So light up the fire, let this feeling stay
Let's all feel the love this Christmas
Let's sing out loud, make a little magic today
Let's talk the other love this Christmas
Yeah, Christmas is here to stay
Something's fake, the memory's fake, Old songs play and I'm worn out, feels
The fireman, the years were turned But something's never leave
When we're together it feels like forever Like snow that won't melt away
So light up the fire and let this feeling stay
Just let it stay
Let's all feel the love this Christmas
Let's sing out loud
Make a little magic today
Let's all feel the love this Christmas
Yeah, Christmas is here to stay
Oh, yeah, don't feel the love, it's Christmas
I don't think you know how much I love this message
I wish it could be forever, but it only comes around once a year
The lights go up now in November, I think that it's only fair
Can we not leave them up for good? I doubt that anyone would care
Let it be Christmas, let it be Christmas for you and me
Let it be Christmas, we'll be together by the Christmas tree
Don't ask so much, skip all my gifts, there's only one thing left on my list
Let it be Christmas, it's nearly here, let it be Christmas
Every day of the year
I'm lining up the windows
Before the leaves are for down
You can help but stop the cam
So I know when you're coming round
Wide away to wonder
Like it's only once a year
If every day could feel this good
Let's keep the season here
Let it be Christmas
Let it be Christmas for you and me

Rome, with a Colosseum, Rome, and a Gramm, you see, John, Rome.
Love is everywhere, so meet me up there, a St. Peter's Square in Rome.
On the seven hills that swam, the Italian thrills,
Cause life is alive when you're roaming in Rome
Rome, where the time upflows, yeah, Rome
Michelangelo's in Rome
The eternal town of Rome
And in satin and old things, Latin, Rome
Like a symphony, it's home
To the bourgeoisie, pushed with the golden romantic hat-spawn.
It all burned down, as Nero just fiddled around.
But right here, right now, 2,000 years on, they're still firmly strong and strong.
where the fashion kings all roam, where the pastors all roam.
dream league season 27 is brought to you by DHL
Oh
It's hot in there.
It was not a big box.
I was teleported in there, Santa Christmas magic actually.
I was ready to do the whole thing on stage and then pow, just like that, into the blocks.
And now, into Dream League, another day of a playoff action.
Thank you all for joining me, Jenkins, Quinn, Owen, a pleasure as always, Lord, indubitably.
Indubitably, of course.
Yeah, you know, so I mean, you're the greatest gift that we can ask for for Christmas.
You've been such a gift to the Dota scene, we love you, we love to have you around.
And that's why we've prepared this video for you.
I can't wait.
I mean, there's nothing, there's nothing.
They tell me everything that's happening on the show.
Roll the video.
Okay?
Yep.
We can, we do have a variety of other things.
Oh, right.
I'm having a variety of other tasks as always.
This is my first time doing the mornings of Dream League season 27,
but in addition to Santa making cameo appearances by wheeling out presents,
I've been told that he's also been giving out a handful of tasks for the morning shift.
He has.
Oh, yeah, he has.
And sometimes very competitive.
Yeah, that's well.
I'm tasty.
Oh, delicious.
The one yesterday might have been my favorite.
That was a good one.
A delicious one.
We've had spectacular treats.
We have.
And they've been varying to competitive or collaborative.
Yesterday was very collaborative.
We're making a gingerbread house together.
How did that happen?
Oh, there it is.
There it is.
Yeah.
Look at that.
It's still intact.
It's cute.
Well, do we eat it later?
Um...
I don't know how edible it is.
Can we show it?
Can I?
Oh, it's the egg.
You can eat it all together.
I'll put it together with you.
I want to go look at the egg.
He's very neat.
They might have had to get the super glue out.
He can't stop eating it.
Because we started this.
Oh, a hole from the bottom, Jenkins.
Well, he's going to play.
Oh, it's all good.
It's all good.
Look at that.
Listen, I built the walls for this house.
I understand the structural integrity.
You can see the convalescied air quality.
Oh, my goodness.
That's not icing.
Unka.
It smells very good.
So we were kind of confused on what the walls were and what the roof was.
So Kezu put a little door on the roof for easy access.
Oh, come on now, that's not a huge thing.
It's a door on the roof.
Very dark.
What is that, a birdhouse?
Wow.
That's kind of looking like a birdhouse.
There's just glue running down.
No, no, no.
The drippings are rather...
What are these morons using glue?
Definitely ice thing.
I'm not a big fan of the drippings.
And then we had Avery did one of the roof tops.
Oh my God.
That's a very seasonal looking roof top.
It gave up!
Okay, I'm sorry.
I got a flower.
I got a flame awesome.
Look at the glue.
Alright.
That one is raw.
Like listen, listen.
You might be able to show that on stream.
We are not good at doing normal things.
Because the walls are terrible.
We made those.
That's us.
And then the lake crew just glues together.
It's going super glues.
They just get super glues.
Like, why is the thing not known for its adhesive properties, alright?
You can't do normal things!
Is there not? Do they not have edible glue?
Like, surely, like, ewww!
That's disgusting!
That's actually gnarly.
It's like, said about ice-sang, yeah, you know?
Oh yeah, have a bite, Neil, you're hungry?
Uh, don't do it.
What's the safest angle? I can take a little...
I can take a little...
Oh, that's rock solid.
I'm telling you.
like yeah I'm the fire it's really cuz now I can try try you want me to get a
piece of Jenkins is strong oh okay it's safe nothing we're good now you're good
you're good there's no cool there hmm let me let me try that's in goals let me
try smells like like fifth grade art why you still like it's a gar
You're going to smoke it?
It's a Cuban gingerbread house right there.
Honestly, how about Ode to the Glue or?
Yeah.
Ode to Glue.
Some of the notes of the glue.
Yeah.
That's a Christmas song, right?
Ode to Glue.
A little bit of a classic.
E40.
E40 in there.
Yeah.
Oh, Chemical AX245.
Anyway, it's fine.
Yeah, it's fine.
Anyway, it's fine. Yeah, it's fine.
While we're reveling in our, um, yesterday's project,
as per usual, would you like to be my gift opener?
I would be honored.
But this is a new present.
This is a new present.
Today's present.
Yeah, there's a letter with this one, too.
Where did you get that from? Did I come out of the box with you?
Santa Magic.
Wow.
How materialized.
How can we get, as a group, collective blunder this one more than the two.
Oh, we'll find ways, don't worry.
How a memory that found its way back,
what the note says, very cryptic.
X-Men is now the Riddler.
I'm serious.
Wow.
What is that?
It's a small box.
So I feel like there's...
It can't be that intimidating.
If it's anything other than just black pages, I will be excited by that.
Ooh, it's in a box.
A box inside a box.
Is it edible?
If it's a box, you can try.
I wouldn't personally advise it.
What if it is like a box of chocolate?
It could be.
Alright, Forest.
Okay, you hear things.
Hey, there's some rattling.
There's some rattling.
Oh my gosh.
What is it?
We have some time.
It's a gigantic puzzle.
Show the clerk.
Bro, we don't have a reference.
Give me a little tilt.
Give me a little tilt of the camera.
We can't do this in a day.
That is...
How many races is that?
Make an estimate.
500.
Ages three and up.
I think it's a five.
It looks like a 500.
It's a thousand pieces.
A thousand.
Bro, there's no reference picture.
We straight up can...
This would take weeks.
What?
Okay, I know what it is. I think it's going to be a nice picture at the Dream League set.
Oh, that would make sense. What did the letter say again? A memory of the past?
Yes, it's going to be an old Dream League scene that we have to recreate.
A memory that's found its way back.
Alright, I mean, we're going to start on the corners, right? That's puzzle tech.
You're going to find the edges.
Find the edges, Ron.
Yeah, find the edges.
for the corners.
Yeah, corners and edges.
Those edges.
And in the meanwhile, while we're sifting through all
these pieces and trying to pull up.
Let's put all these pieces together.
Oh, you're amazing.
Oh, I got pieces together as well.
OK, let's do a pile.
Let's do a pile for the pieces.
Do the grouping ones and then another pile for edges.
Let's do edges.
We can also, we can start setting them all face up
because this gray side is the back, yeah.
Oh, I see letters on this one.
Yeah, one of them had an E. That's an LED.
That's for sure at the LED background.
Look, there's a letter there.
Well, maybe you can find the letters,
because you'll find the word, you'll be able to build the word.
Yeah.
That will help us solve the puzzle.
While we're going back in time
and trying to figure out things,
I was also hoping that all of you
could have an opportunity to go back in time.
Oh, actually, yeah.
To yesterday and see what happened
during the Friday of Dream League Season 27,
where we had three best of threes.
But the really story of the night
was extreme gaming's rise to dominance,
getting revenge over Falcons for a TI Hamburg,
and conquering their demons,
and then keeping the good times rolling
in their final series of the night,
but these are the Falcons versus Extreme Highlights.
Wait, is FY back?
Was he ever even gone?
He was definitely gone.
The role was completely missing.
I don't know if you've seen weapons,
but he was like that kind of missing.
But he's back. He's back in business. He's been rescued from the basement and
He was cooking this year
I was genuinely impressed because I was quite a skeptic when he first returned his gameplay was not up to snuff and now he's
Nothing like crazy. It was my answer was crazy good
Yeah, he was like that was like so who is the other murder player the pops of some a savior
Yeah, this was like some save ten where to
You know he was he was owning and I was I was I was impressed XG in general look in the
in the arm today.
I'm not making a shit right like they were really cooking I think I'll make really found
himself in the case you know I think we're gonna see a lot of all my case that is like
it's it's it fits him so well he seems to really enjoy it which is a big part of the
army test it's like does he like the hero yes there's a lot of things he's good at
and just doesn't play like baking.
Oh yeah.
Look at my corner.
Is this a corner that I'm looking at that must be yeah that's one of the record
Oh
No, whammy's no whammy's no whammy's wait. Did you actually just find some corners he's got the colonists in there
All right news. It's not guy. You know one you can make a wedge after that
We did have OG vertus versus the vertus pro where
OG showed that they belong in this top-8 slot because after their drop down to lower bracket
It was a little bit discouraged that it was a typical Southeast Asian team run where
blasts through group stages and then all of a sudden come to playoffs, things look a little
bit lost, but they returned in this Virtus.Pro series.
They did.
It was not close.
VP, after a pretty strong group stage, they kind of just crumbled.
They've both these series they lost.
They just fell apart in these games.
I think they had some draft problems, and also their play just wasn't what we'd
seen from the other series.
They were not the same team.
It was discouraging to say.
still made it all the way to top it for a team that is still relatively unnewly formed and then
Xtreme went back to back faced off against Tundra and got another victory with a lot of Tundra's
own heroes. They were getting some nothing to say tinker on the board, which is always a treat to
see and Tidehunter, I see the stocks of the Zero Jenkins continue to rise drastically.
Yeah, it's been it's been going up. I mean the one thing that looks like it counters tide is
Viper we saw in the Yandex series that I mean socks up I
Feel like we can read the writing on the wall when he says like oh we think we figured out
Tundra and something how the Viper is like a counter to stuff that they want to run
And I feel like a big thing that they were talking about it's like okay 33 is clearly identified tide hunter is overpowered
Which is true like you said other teams are doing it and I was great. I might be making the start
But I think I read it's got a lot 57 cent room right. Oh, yeah
Titus it's bonkers. Yeah, but I think that's where the answers to it need to start coming out
Like it needs to be respected the heroes. It just was good. Yeah, and it got buffed
It's even better now. It was already a good off-lane
I mean is it a hero that had
Does it have any sort of like old-school counters that people have maybe forgotten about and might actually come back?
Sure, I was a classic that we don't see but used to be like wow they got a tide we're gonna ruin it with this
Let's say doom like that's it. That's a good one
Right, it's like one of the few things you can't crack and show on the game. Yeah dooms a dooms a classic counter
I mean if netto was still here, obviously, we'd be much more likely to
Just see the the doom come out
But you know, I think I think it's good enough a viper is like the big one because you know like for example
Laurel is still in the tournament skies and big viper fan even even when vipers on a good hero
He'll whip it out so
I think Viper is going to make its way into like first face, pick first face ban.
Some of the classic counters are just not that good right now, but a good Death Prophet,
Slark Core, those are heroes that when you think of Tide, you think of those heroes.
I mean, could Slark Core not be good? Has that been explored enough in the pro games?
It played it yesterday once. They lost pretty horrifically.
The real issue is the laning. Also, I think Slark Core might have even gotten nerfed
because the Essence Strip doesn't last very long anymore on level 4.
Yeah, you know you need a lot of levels to make it last long you don't get this like giga stark running around killing everyone as a support
It's great though because you basically just have free levels in essence shift like yeah
Oh, yeah, we saw that in like the first game of the patch right?
Well, yeah, it was pretty nice class nine class was able to do it Ari was not able to do it though
No, yeah, that was yesterday, right?
Yeah, because I for as good as the essence shift is you've lost barracuda in lane now
And so you have to reach in like a normal hero. Yeah, okay. No flame whatsoever to Ari
I think the guy is a god to your position for but I do think that the Slark play style is
You know when I think it was you that said socks as like there are two wolves inside of you
There's like the nine class and then there's like the crit right the normal position for this really high skill playing the willows
And then you have the Slark who's running around making chaos. I see you already more as the
The willow type. Yeah, even if he's playing there's one wolf inside him
There's one wolf inside of him and so it to me Ari not having a great game with Slark could just be
enemy team playing very well for
Mixed with like that's not the wolf for him. Like he said he was experimenting with it, right?
I hope you saw his tweet, but he said he ruined that game. He tweeted that
He could ruin game one. Oh, he's happy to have a break
Yeah, so I think like because it looked like he was really uncomfortable in the hero like you're right
I mean you're gonna match right here's the new patch
How many games do you think he would have played in pubs where he's played this new slug?
I'm like three, probably. Maybe even less. Maybe one, two.
There's a lot to try when you're also playing at visuals.
It can be kind of exhausting to play pubs too because officials kind of take all the
steam out your sails. You don't really want to queue up and get yelled at by some random dudes.
When Nine Class was playing it, obviously I went back and I watched that replay.
That's this big slug for fans myself.
When Nine Class was playing it, he focused a lot on
on getting like random lane XP, like he was trying to get the level 6, he was clearly putting
effort into it, like identifying that now you need that passive early, which requires
you to get 6.
Which he did a monkey king by the way too, like he made this switch whenever Simeon
stride you had to max out the jump.
Ari did not do that, like he was not putting a huge amount of effort into like soaking in
a lane and his team wasn't giving him a lane, which is also like a team play thing,
understanding the sark, or you got another letter.
I just I think there are adjustments that need to be made to playing four-position Slark
But if you do adjust like I really think if nine classes given it today
He's gonna take it it really does all the way well
That's the thing right against nine class would you rather ban the Knicks or the Slark right now?
I think I think Slark I genuinely you would just ban the Slark you're getting I
I'm telling you the one downside is the agonim shotgun nerfed
But moving the passive to the alt it actually feels good because now you're just getting an extra skill
You have Essence Shift built in, and you have this new passive, it's a free skill, which you did not get before.
And it's only in Earth if you're Harry Sark, like Quinn was saying, because the time on it is a lot less.
But you leave one level in it as a support Sark.
I mean, Spirit left the Nyx the other day and they Mollywopped them.
It was not close. I feel like people were too scared of this Nyx. That was one of the weirdest bands.
Trends I've seen is every game for the whole tournament, Nyx was banned.
Like this here is garbage. What are you doing? Super weird band to me.
It is one of the heroes that dictates the entire game though from a support position and that's I feel relatively rare
Yeah, especially when nine classes playing it that there's
Persistent invisible pressure on all of your carries
Which is a weird hero. He's a little bit the weird guy
There's a lot of heroes to do that though because even Monkey King is like an invisible hero in a way. Mm-hmm. You have to be
constantly worried. It's like, okay, is he just watching our carry right now? Is he
standing in front of, is he standing on this hill in a place we can't kill him,
you know, so we can't smoke and walk up this hill? Like, it's, 9-Class really
likes to play the, the, applies pressure by just not showing the type heroes.
And we'll see how far he's able to get in this tournament because it was
around this time the last year that he was lifting up the trophy in a
Bangkok with the rest of Parivision and getting themselves a fair number of E.P.T. points.
Which is what these teams are signing up for.
It's the first event of the season.
There is no LAN event in December this time, so you need to scoop up all these online DreamLeague
points.
Because Birmingham's going to be your only real LAN opportunity.
Though within this online circuit, we're still handing out a fair amount of prize
money, the points, and the club reward as well.
The opportunities for these teams are getting far and fewer between them because all these teams starting to get eliminated
You already said goodbye to Falcons. We said goodbye to Tundra. And now we're gonna have to potentially say goodbye to an OG or a party vision
I mean, I think this is a big series for OG
They have kind of fallen short around that six to eight in most of the recent tournaments
That's where they've where they've you know where they've ended up
So this is a chance for them to break that streak and say hey
We're better than that. We're a top four team. We're not just some falls out and loses to the real big dogs
We see how high the ceiling goes for them. That's right
the crown molding kind of kind of team or they a popcorn ceiling kind of
I see you still got gingerbread construction on the brain. That's right
I'm getting so I've got some edge pieces here. I've got some
Give me the words.
Definitely like a dream hack logo right there.
So I have it sorted. I have a black with white font and I have a white with black font.
And then I have black with the red font. It looks like dream hack.
Look, James is going to be able to get a really good start there.
Like a lot of brown. Like a five point seven.
Here's a letter here. Oh great with letters. Yeah, that one is like here. That's a rare one
5.7 is this we're going back to like war three Dota is
What is the five in the seven
What is the numbers? Is it the date maybe for the announcement? I saw a stock home
So I think it's like when was the dream hack stock on major 2020
That's what my vibe is at the moment, so I feel like a stalk and I think this one actually right
Yeah, I'm gonna clear a little bit of space here, so I guess I'm putting
We're looking at a handful. Oh, yeah, right. Oh, we have all four corners. This is like a place
We don't have enough words right for it to be like a standings
That doesn't look an eight. We're taking a look at numbers and team names
But perhaps I would like you to do the same because I want you to know what we're going to be covering for today on
The second of a dream leg action first series of the day is going to be that lower bracket elimination series between
OG and party vision after that upper bracket returns to the stream
Yandex and Spirit had a day off to lab
7.40 I have to expect and
And Yandex I'm sure is still reeling after their nail-biter of a Sphere is against Tundra to get them to this point.
So it's two teams clashing at different points because Spirit has been a guy completely undefeated so far in their upper bracket Jenkins.
And I have never entered a playoff bracket where I'm like, oh, you don't need to be worried about Spirit.
Yeah, I mean even when they have a bad tournament and they make it far, you tend to have to worry about them.
but this version of Spirit is looking very scary,
like, because I think they're in an experimental period
of the team where, like, Yatoro is playing weird stuff.
We saw, like, Necrophos carry, for example,
earlier in the tournament.
Collapse is not always playing some, like, Blink initiator.
They're still often playing a lot of old meta stuff,
but they'll experiment with new meta stuff, too.
So, they're looking really scary.
They could just destroy their way through the tournament.
What I'm hoping for is everyone loves
a Spear of Grand Finals.
Absolutely.
I'm hoping we get Spear in the Grand Finals,
and then a team that was clearly not as good as Spear,
but then powers up to-
Perhaps an extreme?
Is that what you're hoping for?
I'll make it to the top.
Classic, that's a classic.
And they have genuinely been powering up.
They looked, depending on the series,
they looked shaky, and it's depending on the series,
They looked like they were in TI form, where FY is playing like a god, which of course he was not at TI, but he looks like he's back in form, so.
Well, every single region has something to root for, and if you're rooting for Southeast Asia, don't worry.
You have got a lot to be excited for for this upcoming series because we are getting into OG, first part of the show.
Hey guys, I want to show you what might be happening in the next series.
We have OG vs. ParryVision, we know that Parry, they're a really, really good team, but there
are some of the things that OG do that could give them a very good chance in this upcoming
match.
So I got a couple of their concepts and a couple of their play styles.
So, if we could roll the clips, follow me along.
So what we have here is that they have a Clock plus Gyro lane versus a Timber, which already
for the beginning is pretty good for you, as we can see in the moment here on the network.
You have Natsumi, 2200 net worth, Timber on the 1400 net worth.
And I want to show that Dota is a step by step process.
You don't just immediately win the game.
What Scam does, they do well on the top lane, now he goes into the mid lane.
So step one, you do well on your lane, you shut down the enemy heroes, and then
you go where you know where you can help the next hero on the map which in this case is Yopash.
And this is gonna be happening in multiple clips. Let's do the next one after the mid play.
He goes back to the top, look at Saber-Lite here, this is his point of view. He has no idea
Scam is behind the tree so he hides, they get another kill onto Saber-Lite, flood grenade
to finish off the kill and look at what happens next. He now goes to mid again at the
six minute mark and pay attention to what we have happening here. You have a sentry ward
on the hard camp. The sentry ward also dewards the river. They have another sentry in the
mid river as well, which is another reason why Abed, he doesn't know where the rune is,
so already in the early game, Scam is doing a lot of good things helping OG. Now this
is a concept that I would like people to pay a little more attention to. I would like
to call this one, let me skip one moment, let's go here. This is what I would like
to call the first contact, excuse my bad handwriting, but that's about it. This
This is the first contact concept, because what happens in this fight is, if you're OG
and you allow your Gyrocopter to get touched first, you cannot defend this tower.
If you look here at Natsumi, he's level 7, he's healing up.
If Gyro dies first in this fight, there is no defense on the map.
You need a support to be the first guy who's there, because at the same time you have
everyone else on your team, they all have TP's ready available on the three bros in
the bottom lane.
So as soon as game shows and they pop their Avalanche, all their spells, now
all the other heroes, they can TP in, they can bring the gyro from the side and actually end up defending this tower.
This is super crucial, especially in the current meta, because if you hold this tower, you have easy access to the Torm Lader,
you can also just gate back to the bottom side, which is what you're gonna see Niko do, and then, so what?
You defend your safe and tower, easy gold, easy XP. And then lastly, this also
can be played out in like the mid game. This I would just like to call maybe the...
You can call this the 1 plus 1.
If you only have one weaver here at the tower, he's in huge threat.
Maybe he cannot pressure if he's alone, or if he does do this alone, he would actually
end up dying.
But look what happens just because there's one hero.
In this case, it's him.
They TP down bottom.
They try to kill him.
Now what?
You use two TP's.
You use a lot of mana.
The tower is dead on the next touch anyway.
But Natsumi, he got to pressure.
Now he just falls back.
The entire map now as well, if you think about it from OG side, they can push back
top if they want they can push in middle because they know that three of the bros
actually TP down here so you're just kind of chilling and I think that if OG
can do similar things in the match today you know playing fast abusing the
concepts that they know then we should be in for a pretty good series before
before I let you go Casio yeah hey there I want I want to test them hand
writing things with you draw draw one I saw you draw a handful of ones draw
one again. Okay, draw seven. Oh, okay. We're all North American educated. Have you seen
a one drawn like that before? No, there's usually a line at the bottom. Well, you guys
have like this. Oh, yeah, yeah. He was like, well, a little more. Wait, can you erase
this quickly draw six and draw a seven six seven six seven six seven and then
below draw six and the seven no then draw nine okay very nice now we're hitting
the boomers and the two really gonna test this guy's numbers German educated
numbers regardless the German educated Dota is that sharp as ever thank you
very much Casio for giving OG people some hope because I feel like after their
upper bracket series teams may have been a little bit discouraged I know I was
discouraged but then facing off against VP I was like okay never mind these guys
still have it you can have an off day especially because it was basically like
four hours after the patch I I give you the benefit of the doubt that you still
got the magic they're good no no this this team you know they play well
they've got good stuff and look at you guys three Americans getting up on
the European guy you we all know that any man whoa whoa whoa wait well I'm
European
What's funny, but I'm Serbian keep it up keep it up back to you Jankos. I mean, I'm Eastern European you are now
One of the other teams specifically and this matchup is he's been what are you eating? Are you eating?
This is honestly not good for him. He's got such a sweet tooth
He can't help himself for as long as I've known him. He can't genuinely cannot help himself
It's true he yaps about it every day that he's just perma snacking. Yeah, I mean I don't blame him on the same
Dream League studio is a it's filled. It's hard to not snack. What are you working on by the way?
We should we should be doing edge pieces if we're yeah, we have where that's where I've got a couple of corner and edges over
Oh, you got corners. Okay. I've been sorting by color. Yeah, so I'm doing edge pieces
And then let's sort the edge pieces by color and then we can try to start constructing
We can already reveal that we are getting some stuff put together. There's a dream. Oh
Oh
The whole dream okay, so we can look for letters. I found BSJ somebody put these together
So I I understand the whole I don't see it. Is it actually yes, oh
This is this is like original dream that you know, definitely not BSJ
No, I understand the algorithm for completing the sides
But I think when you have letters that you know you can like face up and easily connect together those are
Yeah, we can definitely take the letters also. That's definitely worth it. It's more fun if we do slightly different
It's like edges colors letters release to a lot should be doing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Here's the edges there
So are you edging or am I edging? We're all edging. Well, isn't this part of whoever's doing like I'm doing something right here
What do you want to take you want an edge? I think it's like here
I'll give you a little edge and I'll give all of you at home something to look at as well because we got a
chance to speak to Nukolas about how he's been evaluating the patch.
Yeah, I think this patch is a big advantage for us because the previous patch was a bit
like stacked in a way because it came like in May and we played a lot of times on it.
We won Dream League on it.
We played 3rd and we played 3rd on it and it was hard for us to find new ideas.
Our team was really good on adapting to new patches because we all play a lot of pubs
and we tried to understand META, so I think that's why we're adapting well to the new patch.
I'm telling you, call by the pound, stand to Redknight!
You've got the drag back!
I'm on nowhere left to run!
Paravision able to strike back!
Yeah, it's for sure the big difference,
because we kind of tried to reinvent our team,
because I think we was too stuck on our ideas,
how we want to play map and how we want to draft.
I was the guy who was kind of forcing already a dent on the Valahia
to stop being so much on the rules and try to play on clutch moments.
We have really good players on micro skill and we should be playing more on it.
I'm asked trying to hit me at the angle to jump in and you're gonna fight against the question on the tournament.
And now turn towards the Ma'a line and send it back to Tygana, maybe hold it to this, the ground with the last throw.
They get the character back on down on the water tournament again, catching the rest of Ma'a and snaking.
We was afraid to, you know, break the chains.
Like, we should, like, sometimes, I saw a lot of arcs, primal ds from off the edge, just run mid and try to get the kill.
I don't believe people do this on T.A.
But on the other tournament as we do, and we should do the same.
We should be like no crazy dogs.
I'm not a people faggot.
Another corner piece, purge.
I'm part of a vision hoping to not get cornered by their old ideas.
Be more improvisational.
Don't go by the book as much.
You can break the rules a little bit.
Yeah, that's four corners, Neil.
We're cooking here.
We do have to follow the rules of the puzzle, though.
Don't try to jam these pieces in where they don't belong.
I thought that's how it works, Neil.
No. That's the age four-sized puzzles. This is a thousand-piece puzzle.
Do you want some of this for me? Stop eating so much, man.
You can't stop this, man. Once he starts, it's over.
Russia said she has like four more packs of dough in the bag.
No.
Can we just table the puzzle and get back to baking?
Is that possible?
I know I'm not the only one that wants to eat gingerbread right now.
Yeah, I want to eat it.
You all do.
I had enough yesterday. I'm good. You can have my piece.
But I...
Any more? This isn't enough for me.
I like what Ducal instead in the interview. I think it's easy to like get stuck and as you know
You keep talking after the game well at minute six you do this at minute eight you do this at minute 12
You do that but the best players and the best teams you just need to play the situation at hand
Like if the enemy team makes a mistake they give you an opening it doesn't matter what the timer is on the clock
You absolutely should take it. So I do kind of like that
Don't miss the the forest for the trees
You can't get too distracted by big picture
They're good focused on the small things.
Absolutely.
All these tiny small pieces, there's so many of them.
I mean Insania has said that a lot in this tournament that you can, there are things
you can do to just like corrupt the natural flow of Dota that I think a lot of players
have like even in low MMR pubs, people still understand this like natural flow.
Sure.
Maybe there are some things missing, but the flow is like 90% there, right?
But if you do some like nine-class slork type shenanigans cutting waves smoke gank with you know OG type smoke gank
With your off laner to the safe lane level one if you do that then
The flowchart just doesn't work anymore, right? You've changed the first node in the flowchart
Just like just like how they just changed the lighting in here now these browns don't look the exactly same colors
They before before now I'm confused
I'm supposed to puzzle if the script is being changed on me by my opponent you got to adapt for it
You guys see a first pick primal beast and you got to know I gotta respond to that with a slardar
Because that's what's happening in this game number one a draft between og and party vision after og yet again a respect
Band of the nine-class Slark along with a timber saw a viper and a clockwork party vision
They ban out of the jacquero the win ranger the DK and the shadow demon
You know if there was a
Kaiju movie. I think it would be a giant slaughter versus a giant primal beast. They look kind of similar here a specific rim
Ask yeah, they do look like Pacific Rim monster except slaughter looks a little smarter than primal beast
Definitely probably just straight up like a rank or pillow or rank or cash. Well
Yeah, okay, I could see it. He's got he's got that rank or
Skull shape. He does walk on the lights though
He doesn't use his his other hands to walk on other than when he's trampoling
is that true yeah his standard walk animation is like I actually don't know
what his center of balance is yeah that's exactly what I'm thinking his legs are in
the back he's gigantic in all spaces oh okay well this is one of the heroes that
I was saying potentially are tight hunter counters that don't seem as popular
anymore but disruptor makes an emergence for party vision yeah I guess
against the the primal right you kind of wanted an answer to this hero why is
Is it cheating? We have a date. We have a date.
On the 2012, look up this exact day to find the picture.
That was B.S.J.'s first work of talent, for sure.
It was his first date. 2012, isn't that too early for him?
You need a camera on our phone.
That's the day B.S.J. was born, I think.
B.S.J.! Woo!
We have figured out...
It's only 13 when the stream leg happened.
June 7th, 2012, we are going real far back in time.
17.
This would have been, I'm assuming, like a kickoff season.
We matched the teams.
Shevers probably.
Add that to it.
Brothing at the mouth right now, because she knows exactly what it is.
That's a B.
Yes, J-Mot.
Definitely.
Definitely B.
Let's not cheat for now.
I mean...
What do you mean cheat?
Do we have like a...
Okay, well because we can look up the image, you know, make things a lot easier.
That's true.
Let's not do that.
Why would we do that?
We don't need that.
if we're trying to like have fun in a normal way it wouldn't be doing puzzles
but the the challenge is part of the fun where did the corner piece go all right we lost a corner
oh never mind it's here okay you guys find an EA I can make a dream hack it's already somewhere
there I gave you that tune yeah I think it's here okay let's see let's I'll try to do some
analysis I'm not serious disruptor against primal it can be quite good of course especially
with heroes that want to play, you know, forward and aggressive on the map, which you have in the
Slardar, which was covered by the QWAP, which is kind of nice. I like Chen with Slardar,
because you can give your ally a bunch of armor to help keep them from not dying.
No, for sure. Like, it's a divine favor, it's still an undispellable spell. I wonder if that
will ever get changed in the future. Generally things that don't have counterplay are
quite good, or if the only counterplay is that, well, you have to deal with it or kite it.
This is cool, because I have seen Kato in pubs like throughout the last two days.
Oh, yeah me too and I think this year is quite good like he got buffed. He was already okay
I would say
Before and the matter is a lot about healing and like fighting between the like 15
To like 20 early 20 ish minute marks like first rose first form. What are you thinking mid-cattle?
I think it might be a four-cattle. I mean it can be flexed right?
I have seen a good amount of four-cattle to be honest
That's probably the most common thing that I've seen in pubs
But yeah, I mean still you always have to be worried about a mid-cattle
I feel like this is the fastest timing mid in Dota still like a level 6 caudal with a with an urn showing up to your lane
Maybe even like a early vessel. It's it can be devastating and they buff this damage right like the the blinding light just does more damage
There's a blinding light talent at 15. It's actually like
Two nukes that can do like eight to nine hundred damage without
Amplifying with solar blind or whatever
Yeah, and if you get acts at a decent timing like that also gives you really good early game tempo
It's actually quite strong and that thing does damage too if people fear they added damage to it
So it's like all that stuff adds up
It's funny because I think when you look at the start of the draft you have both teams that pick like a tanky guy
And then they give it like follow-up
so they're both building on like a very similar idea and it's gonna
Like they're very even right now
But the moment one of these lineup line-ups break in the teamfight
They're immediately gonna lose because they both rely on the front line being strong getting healed up by the back line
And like continuing to fight
But I like that Oji went for the gyro. They had really good success with it yesterday.
They played incredibly well with the Natsumi on his gyro.
They do need your boy, Jopoi Hero from the mid lane.
Jopoi!
And so he has played
quite a lot of
Ember. I do think this hero could struggle in this game against a lot of the sustained heal.
Like Ember likes these long fights. I would say Cobble and Abaddon are quite good at that.
And it would also make it easier for the slaughter to end up going into the mid lane
Maybe you can you could do it for some hmm. I mean also monkey King is banned
I feel like teams a lot of the time these days are like abusing enemy bands
To get good picks I thought you could go Viper out of face, but obviously that here was first phase banned already
By the way clockwork got fixed the cogs bug where you could just walk in a car. I mean that was stupid
This is fixed. OG used it in the last series that they played, so I think that hero was already strong and will be seeing a lot more.
As Mars got infected, I heard there was issues with his arena.
Yeah, there's like some spells that just like you used them and nothing happened.
Rocket Barrage was one of them, Starstorm was one of them. I don't know if it got fixed.
Can you get back to work, please? You're really not working very good on this.
I've asked in hand.
I take over the draft.
It's last phase bands, Mars and Bristol back get banned out, Monkey King gets banned out,
Jenkins insinuates that that's supposed to maybe tell you something about what Party
Vision wants to send mid.
What does it tell us?
Now he wants to have a melee mid laner and you don't want to get anti-mailed on?
Sure, I mean no one is very good at a lot of mid laners though.
I mean, Puck is a mid laner that loses to Monkey King.
They also have double core right now, so like if they get monkey it allows them to switch
the lanes around to like the exact perfect thing that they want.
I don't think OG is scared to swap their lanes, Yasumi is just such an aggressive player that
Oh, it's a slaughter mid, that's why they play monkey.
They want some off lane now, they're damn, I guess.
Are you worried about the shiploy hoscar?
No, because only if you really want the slaughter to go mid, I like if you're
If you're okay to put it mid and they pick Husker, you can just pick something new for the, like, you know, you just pick the starter off-lane, so it's fine.
Parry vision do you have 24th pick?
Yeah, I guess for Parry they should look for, because I agree with Jenkins, you can just go for any off-lane that gives you auras.
I think Crimson Pipe is quite good for them.
It could be anything from, like, what tide is available, centaurs may be available.
So, you know, DM can kind of get picks and choosing.
OG, I do think that Niko, aka Force, is like the best primal, but if you want to be cute, you could put the primal maybe mid.
if you feel like a doom would just auto win but I think that he was quite slow
so I would just be looking for a Japoya boy hero
he's got what he's got he's got embers he's got something that should be
comfortable going up against the floor door he's got tiny okay I'm into that
a little bit of a we control you can throw your enemies through your
bramble mazes that doesn't sound very not painful it sounds painful I see
growing something there is actually good I'm doing mustache solidarity with the
band looks good and with you of course it's mustache day on Sunday yeah so the
band's got mustaches going on too yeah that's right so what's a mustache type
song anything from the 80s I believe play anything from the 80s
Uh, Fandas.
Oh, yeah, sounds good.
What sounds good for mid?
You send the Slaughter up against this tiny or you want to mix it up?
I'm actually not sure who wins that matchup.
I mean, we've quit again.
He can tell us.
Okay.
They take Ember.
Yeah.
So Slaughter off lane.
With the with the, uh, Coddle.
I mean, it's a good lane.
Yeah.
You have, uh, the constant that you so spelt like the double stun
from Slardar. But I mean, Caudal Ember is like a classic combo. Double slide, double chains,
it's insane against almost anything. All of these heroes, I do think the double slide,
double chains, just poking them, snuffing them from running around.
Especially good in the fight.
Like, Chain Gang is insane. Like the 4x chains on everyone and you max it early, it is
super strong. It's very, very obnoxious. I mean, it is also a very good abadding
I'm interested to see the Caudo
OG have the type of draft that they have every day, so I think they're very happy with what they have but
Actually like parry are quite happy also with what they have. I'm interested to see DMs
itemization because I do think auras with the sustained healing that they have would go a long way
But Lara doesn't really enjoy that. You want him to be more of a dagger builder
Start stuff on the fight
Probably. I mean, maybe Crimson is like too good to pass up on, so maybe you just have to buy it, but the itemization, progress on the Tyro with Oras is a little sassy-bassy.
Jenkins, which team are you favoring best off of these lineups?
Uh, I will say that I think that the Ember Caudal is very good.
I think Caudal is also an extremely strong hero that I want to see more people pulling out and now competitive.
and this game will be a good test to see how viable it is to see if these teams
can take their pieces and put them all together let's get ready for a game
number one of their casters it's Odie Pixel and Quinn
Hello, ladies and gentlemen, game one!
Pioneer between Paravision and OTA, which is about to see the action kickoff as both
teams are about to meet each other down on the bottom lane.
They do sort of that thing, they're all very close there, and that started the backoff,
I'm quite happy to get a grab, and what I know about Natsume is still cutting through the trees, though, CNF.
Something does go down. I don't know which team, which team should be more scared of the other here.
Both are smoking up. Who's more looking for action here, Quinn?
It depends a bit on who runs into who. I think in a lot of early games, the team that runs up into the other team gets mollywopped.
So, Evo just sitting on the hill here and they run and could go bad for them.
But they do have a Coddle, and that here was kind of garbage can on runs.
It looks like OG's gonna just opt to split and try and take on this bounty top as well.
Scam and Tim's, they won't be able to do anything about the one on the bottom side of the river.
That's three runs.
But indeed, it will be the one up top as well that OG's able to secure in Niko in position
so that grouping up of Paravision doesn't work out, they don't find any action and
they will lose out on the number of bansomings.
So, oh here we go, anyway, all in all, Quinn, what do you look forward to from this
game?
And who's dropped your line?
I'm looking forward to see Caudalembur haven't seen in a while. It's a you know panel set and I agree. It's a classic combo
It's very very powerful. Caudal has been nerve-significantly. He's a solar-bind one. He's not just recall mana spam psycho combo
That there was some months ago. So back to a more normal state, but still very powerful
And I have to prefer one. I think it's
It's actually pretty close, I think okay, I think both teams have
have decent things. I think both teams have decent chances and it's going to come a lot down to
to gameplay. Who's in zone today? Absolutely. You know, both of these teams have given us some pretty
thrilling performances so far. I dreamly very excited to see them match up against one another
down here in the lower bracket. This bottom lane is going to be a problem for a pair of vision.
The heroes are fad of pulling waves and they are up against a Chen Gyrocopter. That is a
fear some lane. They have pretty much no aggressive potential whatsoever.
Caudal is just an awful early game hero, so they're going to need to deal with that.
Ultimately, what do you think it was about this game that made Paravision want to run with the Caudal?
Is it sort of just straight up down to some of the combos and plays they can make when they do group up?
I feel like Night Class just has a wheel of heroes that no one else plays and he just spins the wheel
And whatever hero it lands on is like, yo, we gotta pick this guys. I think it's super good
I don't think it's he just this is a vibe thing. I mean coddle is good against Chen
Yep coddle is good against primal like it's good against a lot of these heroes the big a we heal
Against oj's they've got a lot of run-in magic damage, but it's not super high damage
So if you can get to the point where you can survive through they have an a fat shield
You have coddle heels
You can tank through all this damage and it can be a problem for oj
It's a matter of can you get there because in theory it's cool, but Carlos a hero has the problems
Sometimes that's up to cars. Of course all I always gonna have the answer in lane for this primal if Nico does start to try and get aggressive on to
Satanic
And what what what you sort of make of you know running the
Carriabatten here again for satanic. I feel like in a lot of the games that we've seen it
It has been, you know, it does have the tendency to sometimes be a little bit underwhelming the carry ban as of like...
Yeah, I would generally agree with you. I think this is a pretty decent abandoned game. It's good against Jarocopter. It's good against Crown Beasts and it's good against the Willows, so...
I can see why they picked it, but I do feel like this hero just has looked less powerful. It doesn't look...
When you say, oh, it's a good abandoned game. Oh, no, it's a good abandoned game.
Yeah, and then you cop to the point where you can just never kill him. Because it feels...
It's one of those heroes as well that because teams have experienced so many times playing in match-up
They've become much better at being able to orchestrate the fights around the Abaddon Alps and making sure that they do find that sort of timing to
Weave out and we back in to punish him after it comes to an end. Definitely the people have gotten way better playing against a hero
And it's a hero that having that feel for how easy just to pop this shield is very important
Yeah, absolutely. It was a bit of aggression in itself as Scamp. It's gonna turn up and they come in towards Satanic
They're gonna be able to get him. Lovely little early move there from OG, which will secure them the first blood
And these things definitely hurt, you know, the Abaddon
He wants to kind of chill, survive in this safe lane and hit the creeps, fire his radiance.
If you ever kill him early, it's gonna start getting rough. We'll see you in a minute, no one.
Trying to go for Yopash. Yopash was took in the avalanche and the toss off.
So, it's gonna be fine, Yopash.
No one thinking about maybe going back in with another chains.
I have to be careful especially when the avalanche is back up in a few seconds so
Neither gonna find one another in terms of kills in terms of the CS as you can see
Yo pa is doing very well here in the mid 22 and 11 against the 17 and 4
Done on the bottom as the CS goes
Fantastic farm for Natsumi so far 25 and 4 against the 14 and 4 so already seen pretty much actually on all three lanes
Oh gee, getting there the favorable farm in all their matchups in his first five minutes
Yeah, that is a great sign for them. His Primal Beast hero is has looked amazing this tournament pretty much every game
You see doesn't even look like it has counters really
You know it's first pick this game and he's winning his lane and he's got pretty good game matchups
So they have not really tried to counter pick this hero that much
And you'll pledge I'm also just really impressed by him and his improvement you think back
You know to like half a year ago. No one against Yopaj didn't even matter what the matchup is
You know how that Lane's gonna go, but he's holding his own
He's doing very well in the lane where he was counterpicked so massive kudos to him for improving over
These months. I think he's one of the most improved players for the last half year. Yeah, I can that's a very solid showings in the mid
And we're absolutely staying it again here already
This game won
Yeah, but I'm laying DM just kind of constantly getting harassed
by these homing missiles and it's just kind of crazy just how much more
Nazi me's getting out of this double the CS on the gyro as opposed to what the
slardar is able to get out of this matchup down bottom I mean is that just
down to nature that the core matchups you look at the supports you know what
why is this so much struggle here for provision on this bottom lane DM is not
having a fun time yeah it's both against gyrocopter you either need to
have enough region in lane to sustain his spam or you need to be able to do
goes on or pull it. They can't do any.
All the brambles are in the mid and they get the toss back into the extra brambles. Very
nicely played there by Tim's coming over to help out. This guy will be able to stop the
shield broon going into the hands of your patch, but a little move like this, I mean,
it's early days, but a 2k lead is 6 minutes then. That definitely says something, Quinn.
It does. And we've seen this Kada support picked a few times this tournament and it
It is lost every time, it's looked really weak, and that is because of the lane, right?
Chen, he's this big chat, he's got these creeps, he's gonna keep whacking you with the creeps.
Caudle, what does he have?
He's got like a 40 damage right click and a nuke that you can't hit on anyone, because
it takes 15 minutes to charge up, like he just can't do anything in these early phases
of the game.
Can't gank.
He's playing for the stacks, so they're gonna try to come back a little bit, just
get to that XP, get to Solar Bind, and then you can start playing the game.
But until you have that ult on Caudle, you're just maximizing XP as much as you
can because you don't do anything and that could have passed a pretty severe
consequences for Paravision because you look at the lineup right you got to
remember that with the weight of the bottom lanes going it's not just that
the fours not gonna be able to do much to the three DMs not gonna be able to do
much for quite some while or the slurs of start that he's having on the
other side of the map you have this carrier badden this hero is not gonna
do much for a long time yeah so then you're kind of just looking at the
the mid and the five to be the ones to have that impact and it's not
It's not going to be easy when they're going to be having to make moves into an OG line-up
that all three cores are going to be absolutely smashing their timings with the way this early game is going.
Top lane will see the rotation coming in from that two-mate.
So look towards Statenac, to Carlos, we'll be able to hold them back here with the kinetic field.
Still there, OG trying to move on. This is pretty deep now.
And now only further ways to grab Statenac, so Statenac will be fine.
OG at the least will look to just focus.
Put in the pressure onto this tier one tower, nice and early.
Very early move especially when you consider this was being made at a point where, you know, the Jiren, he's not even 6.
And it just goes to show sort of how comfortable OG feel off the back of how well the lanes have gone.
And they're ready to make these plays even without the needs of their ultimates.
Inside the jungle, they will still get the chance to find Jokaleis out on his own.
They're just playing that little bit faster.
And I can't help but feel that is one of the things that has really made the bat and carry look kind of rough in some of the other games, right?
The game starts to speed up, Satanic's not going to be able to do a whole lot to slow it down.
No, he's not. The hero is very slow.
All he does is farm Radiance.
Maybe he can TP to a fight every once in a while and shield someone, but that's only if there's a massive overdive.
This is a great tower, and in the meantime, it's not just that they get the tower, it's that they miss so many, so many waves,
and now they've unblocked the small camp at OG, so they can potentially do this shenanigans
where you keep pulling the hard camp and pulling this top lane back,
which is going to lead to Zabatten, who is already low net worth, stuck only being able to farm neutrals.
And he mentioned them needing to play through no one.
He's gone for the 3 points in shield build, which is a standard build against Tiny,
but he doesn't pair very well with Caudal, and it's also not the build we've seen very much recently.
It's mostly been that Chainz max that looks so powerful on the Ember, so...
He will not be as strong as he would be if it was a 4-1-1 build or something similar in this early game.
I'm sure they can find a cat ship.
They will find Niko on his own.
Okay, he's there.
So...
Something here for Paravision.
So, do manage to punish Niko.
There's a little bit of a greedy spot out on his own in the jungle.
So, getting themselves a kill on the board here, Paravision.
Yeah, and that is the trade they take for losing that tower.
It's caught all the meantime, it's farming.
Constantly, he does get a six, and now a solar bind online.
He is very powerful in these skirmishes.
Now, the trade off is that all flaners are completely worthless.
For quite some time DM is going to be mode AFK farm until he's got blink.
And Natsumi has a free game on the 18 pig Jarocopter. This is what he felt like was the best hero for the game.
He got whatever he wanted.
And he's also been given a free lane, so Natsumi set up in a great position for the rest of this game.
Absolutely, I've seen before. Very, very solid Jarrah player.
Given this sort of start, he's going to have to nail the itemization.
I know exactly where to take the game step by step. It's going to be a problem.
Haravision definitely going to have to work cut out this game with the way that this first 10 minutes or so has gone down.
We'll see TP's coming into the bottom.
They get the chance here for Natsumi. They lay down the mist off, get the cooldown out as well, but straight in on top of them they go.
They get the hand of God decent, heals onto Natsumi but not enough to save him. They bring down the gyro and now they look for more parafusion.
Jumping over towards Jem, good change from Noa, catching on to both of them. Jem's got back up a Yopajin, doesn't save him though.
Jem still goes down, parafusion striking back hard, they get the glimpse now on towards Yopajin.
They're ready to tide the tower. They'll continue this to look for the tiny as well and they'll get in Paravision
Hitting back absolutely hard there. And my goodness did they need to but that was a huge hit
And that's absolutely smashed them back into the game and taken away that early lead that Oji built up
And that's just a written misread of the situation from Oji. They thought they were invincible there
That Paravision had no shot of fighting, but that's definitely not the case. Ember spirit
He may not be super great at diving you under the tower whenever you're already sitting there,
but when he can run you down the lane and keep pressing these chains one after another disrupt their
Cottle they have so many heroes that are great at chasing you
So if you overextend Oji, you're not in that formation. They will massively take advantage of that now
No one went from being
Below all three oji course you above all three oji course the vessel already completed
He is online in a major way. Absolutely. He's ready to go
He knows that after some of the way that these side lanes went down at the start that
A lot rests on him to sort of make these moves, leave the charge here, coming into this stage of the game,
and he's ready to take that position.
And after the three points in shield has gone back to the four points in the chain, so...
In the caudal, they're ready to go. Their skirmishing is insanely strong,
with the holy locket as well, so...
He's got a lot of tank ability on top of the damage in these chains.
His ember is no-jo.
GM, after getting involved in those moves down bottom, very close to having the blink dagger.
So a very, very key move there that needed to come out from Power of Vision.
And they were not any second away from missing that opportunity.
Straight down there, punishing OG, with a little bit of a mistake.
I questioned this tiny pick a little bit.
We've seen this hero some since the patch, the hero most certainly got buffed, but still
some of these same issues that when the enemy gets tanky, Tiny is such a low damage hero
he relies so much on his other heroes to kill stuff.
You're playing against an Abaddon, they picked into these heroes, Abaddon, Caudal, Ember.
Or Ember was last pick rather, but the Abaddon, Caudal, these are survivability
heroes.
You're picking a tiny low damage hero into this.
They can definitely come back to bite them when you've already got a Chen in your team
who's doing zero damage.
And Dorset feel is on this, I won't expect to miss, it has happened, Satanic, he wants
to get the Midas into the Radiant.
Whoa.
So I guess he just feels his early game was too slow that if he buys the Radiant it's
actually not going to be enough net worth, he needs even more.
I'm not sure how I feel about this, I just don't understand how good Midas is.
It was last patch I would say this is straight objectively bad no way around it
But I don't have a good feel for how good this might as I didn't is yet a
Bad is not a hero that cares about the XP that much sure the stats are nice
But you don't even skill missed coil. So it doesn't really matter in that sense
So if it is better GPM then it's not bad
Dive in the mid here provision and get themselves a pick up on the scam and they'll be able to push down this tier 1
tower by the looks of it. So definitely feeling that after that sort of turn
around play from ParaVision down on the bottom lane, things from the OG side of
things, they've slowed down majorly. You know we're not seeing OG trying to get
back on the map and do anything aggressive right now, but they will now,
but there was definitely a bit of a slowdown and that has allowed ParaVision
to get some good objectives back their way. It definitely has and this
Ember is a problem. They're gonna try to kill him here. See what they've
got the big avalanche toss combo into the fair into the primal it's not nearly
enough no one's still able to jump out away from the attempts of these three
very nice static storms this company cut from being able to get the grab off
there's those damage problems if you try to skirmish this ember collar right
now good luck as the chains are getting refreshed embers got infinite
man in the Spanish spells off cooldown Terry's got great tools to kite
you. OG they're not in a super good position right now until they get more
items. Their ability to fight is just not there. I mean well no one continue to
try and find opportunities but he's gonna get caught by a bit of a surprise this
time in with the combo. That's gonna be no one getting tripped up and killed off.
He was getting a little bit ahead of himself. I mean obviously over to the
last few plays I think after the fact that he sort of escaped the effort
from OG in the mid lane he probably started to feel a little bit
invincible thing is he wasn't and now he might have set up some more pain for the
rest of team or see Paravision trying to fight like this but that's to his in
position with the flak to take them out DM and to Carlos eliminated nine class
and Static having to run and now Yopaj with this jump forward he's gonna be able
to set up even more for his gyro and that's to me gets the triple kill this
time Paravision when they get themselves a little bit of a lead they
They get a little too cocky when you have no one going in for a play that he had no
No chance of getting away with and it cost his team as a whole big time. Oh, gee, they're up to a 4k lead after that trade
That was a catastrophic mistake. I think you got a little bit cocky because in the last I hate an illusion rune
Which is what saved him. Yeah, and so he's sort of playing like oh, I can't die
Well, buddy apparently you can you had an illusion in fact last fight and that was the difference maker
Any way a massive amount of gold and you can see that every subparavision when they're running heroes down when they're chasing you compared to
When OG is standing in formation. They're abusing the Chen Auras and they're abusing the fact that
The Cautoblast, the glimpse none of these cells are doing any damage if you're standing still
Damn
Really trying to make an effort to bring down Nekak
No one coming over to back him up, but Ohji's also got back up on the way, and no patch.
He's in for the combo. Again, excellent toss, avaliate to catch one of the two of them.
The static still will come down to stop the pulverize of Niko.
Niko on the retreat. Great fair. Comes in from Tim's.
Niko is going to get dragged back in on it. He's still alive now.
They don't have the damage to finish the prime alive.
Niko's going to be fine. Another toss, combo.
Concentrate, no patch. They bring no one down.
Paravision, they, they chase Niko quite far along that lane.
really wanting to bring him down. It just took too long and it gave all the time in the world for OG to turn up.
And especially when OG has this little lineup, you know, tiny being played by Yopatch on the mid,
he is not going to miss out on any sort of those chances to fight.
Turns up and again, mistakes made by Paravision.
They're just overextending. They're getting outplayed genuinely. These skirmishers by OG, they're playing them better.
They're understanding their heroes and their limits better.
The Paravision, they had a great window, they were really strong for a period, but they played it a little bit slow.
They got one kill on a Chen maybe, they got the mid tower, but it didn't feel like that overwhelming snowball.
When I felt like during that period they were unfightable, and now, Oji's got some more items up.
The Yulestune are tiny, he will not be even near as killable, and they're A for a Roach.
I mean, this is great Roach, cool. You know, going into the pit now, they know that there's no way that Paravision could do anything about this as early as it is.
as it is. Maybe, if ParaVision hadn't made the mistakes they didn't those last couple of
moves they would have had some sort of presence to be here as a team but the way those plays
went down, not a chance to stop OG from getting this Roshan, getting this Aegis.
And a big difference in this game so far is, Sotanik has not joined the game yet and
that's who he has. So far it's been 4v5. You picked us a bad one. We know it's
slow here we've seen it be slow when is the tenant going to get involved and
is it going to be enough because so far the game is not looking good for them
and they're missing a hero yeah it's it's got to be some sort of crazy turn up
when he has got his radiance done for it to you know sort of pay off this sort
of long duration 20 it was gonna be pretty much 20 minutes of gameplay
where you just don't have to carry whereas on the other side you look at
Now, Sumi, you know, he's been having a great time.
Last, well, fight down on the bottom side.
He turns up, picks up a triple kill,
getting involved in the action,
and you're still on the XP as well from him.
There's nothing about what two levels ahead
of that at the abaddon.
This Midas, we'll see if it pays off.
It's still a very strange pickup.
Is it's 19 minutes, still no radiance.
And even when he gets it,
what is that radiance gonna do but let him far more?
He can't fight with a radiance.
He's running into these heroes.
Jarocopter is going to pop his ult in 0.1 seconds.
And we'll see if this approach from Paravision works.
But I think at the moment, OG are going to be feeling very confident
on how things have been going their way.
Very much the most part.
And into the trees,
now find themselves,
catch them onto 9th class.
Try and run.
Heals come in.
Bystander DM's coming to the cross to try and help out 9th class.
But there's no saving him now.
Diaz put himself in harm's way. Look at the toss back into the avalanche
They're just kind of losing heroes for losing heroes there on paravision
It's not working out and oh gee they're having the last laugh every time and that's gonna be a free torment or two
Paravision they're in this spot where they just can't fight and they know they can't fight which means they're split up or
Cross the map trying to farm these waves that oh gee giving them no room to breathe. That's a huge punish
couple of key kills and the snowball keeps rolling down the hill.
Can you get a bramble off?
Ooh, it's close. Wow, what a good attempt.
Yeah, good try there with the avalanche to toss to yours.
Not quite enough to buy time for Tims to come across, but...
Let's go to show the next time. It might be quite enough.
So no one has to be careful.
OG 20 minutes in.
Perfectly safe to move over to the Tormentor.
Get that shot here for Tims.
The pressure mounts and class is going for some of those healing team items for mirroring
scams Shannon away, but it just feels like he's a free snack for this tiny to toss back
I gotta say the toss backs have been fantastic. I feel like every fight. Yo page is finding
these angles to ensure that he's always getting the setup to get two people in the avalanche
This is very aggressive for just two.
The rest are coming over.
No one's going to try and poke back here.
Satanic's starting to run down your opage.
We'll see you can hold his ground with the pulverized.
We'll be forced to be given that finish coming in with the wrap round from the high ground.
So if they can take this fight, OG, this might be the chance for Paraviz to get something going their way.
They'll look to take the ages out of the hands of the best.
Let's see what they can do here on the second round.
Static looks straight towards the jar. Can they bring that sumi down a second time avalanche holds back Static
They get the toss back here from your pass trying to keep that sumi safe for the glimpses there
They bring that sumi back and they bring him down
Dm not done with the job yet ready to chase down Niko
Paravision should be able to find another can they save Niko here in the situation. Oh, gee
They're trying their best. He's gonna be able to charge up to the high ground
No one and the colors they want to keep the chase going they get the glimpse back
Pulverize is there doesn't matter. Slider fish chains come out. They bring Niko down and they can still maybe push for more.
Satanic's getting very low at Timbs. He's got to beat him up on the carries.
They try to go get the shield off. Satanic does still go down at the end of it.
But overall, ParaVision, they're gonna be able to get four kills here.
Only cost them the one. Sure it's the big one, but Satanic he did live for at the majority of that fight for most of the kills.
They'll certainly take that ParaVision being able to slow down OG and as you sort of said at the start of that,
That was kind of an OG zone sort of move right they started this sort of poke the beast poke at this abaddon
Heading into this high ground doesn't go too great for them Quinn
No, the way it's executed is just not quite right
They're also 500 gold from that to me be to be at that point you can see he just gets kited to oblivion by this ember and
Coddle doesn't really get to hit much at all. They're just coming from too many different angles
You've got a chin on your team. You're an aura based lineup. You want to play together
You need to play around this jar. We see is the majority of your damage, but there's so split
Niko was forced to use his BKB super early just to survive, then dies later.
Just... they got a little too excited. They were ahead.
The momentum was in their favor.
And much like no one did earlier, fight off a bit more than they can chew and throw that lead back the other way.
Yeah.
Empire vision, after that move, they are more than ready to start looking for more action.
Static very ready to join the fight here. They're gonna get the jump in straight away over the wall now
Sumi Static's going down as well. They'll try to try and kill off Kostalos, because Kostalos will fall
Now Sumi is ready to try and stand his ground with the BKB the barrage time. It's already gone off difference. Static comes to an end
The pulverize is there. They'll kill Static off
And just like that when we have sort of OG making an overextension getting ahead of themselves
Immediately after it's sort of Baravision doing it same the other way around
These teams have got to be careful. They have to understand the way they're heroes fight
They're not these gold bull crazy mode and dive the enemy under the base
It's not how these lineups work
The book they are
It seems like whichever team gets ahead is gonna throw so for OG fans. You better watch out cuz it's coming
That's getting the back and forth is is kicking off an entertaining one for sure
Maybe a more stressful one for the players involved
with the way that these moves are going off and most of the case is not going.
Gotta be careful. Overall, course through the chaos of it all, OG still remain ahead.
Not Sumi, throughout it all, just continuing to be just that much further ahead of anyone in the game.
Obviously with his Midas and Radiance cooking on Satanic, you've got to imagine that he should start to close a little bit of that gap,
Maybe not. That's for me. He does have the tendency to just farm that fast on his gyrocopter. He's very hard to keep up with
Absolutely, and he's close to the Daedalus too
He most certainly will be a force to be reckoned with this game and
It's a great satanic game too. So many things on Paravision that can be dispelled so many things that
He can deal with through itemization
It doesn't look like one of those gyro games where they have this hyper turret cherry
who's going to eat him alive at some point in the game, a TB, a Drow, more filling, these
classic counters to Jarkov. They don't have that. Paravisions line up to do damage, they
all need to run in right next to him. He'll have three Static targets, and that combined
with the Daedalus and whatever else he wants after that, he can itemize very easily to
deal with Paravisions heroes.
Okay. And to the point where I feel like that the big timing that Paravision would
have a potential answer against Gyro, you're actually probably looking at the blink
axe timing on the disruptor right because that's when you have that something that could be
thrown down at the start trapping the gyro and actually allow you to kill him off without
getting these satanic big heels off the paternal.
That is true.
That is a long way away.
It is a very long way away.
It seems them to blink online yet.
Yeah.
It's going for that first.
So that's what it's 30 minutes away probably unless they went a big fight.
The destructor also stays alive for her, she might be out of my league.
Let's see where they want to go for next.
Roshan, how long are we going to get on the respawn timer?
It's a short respawn.
It's really short.
Definitely will look very appealing for OG to hold back and go for,
but I would not put a past parafusion at this point to
definitely do their best to turn up and contest.
So Taniq, very close to having the man to done on top of his
radiance and Midas.
And then pressure's coming in.
OG trying to push back, power vision as much as they can.
So they do have that additional space for them to sort of set up vision
and set up for that Roshan.
What's going to get his BKB force maybe?
He might die.
I mean, Tim's got a lot of control.
Oh, he pushed him.
What?
He's going to get with the pulverize to get him.
Did he not have a remnant out?
Let's have a look.
Did he adjust timed out?
No, I don't think he did have a remnant out, right?
It could have just timed out when they went on him.
We might be able to get down the replay if we were clicked on him, but he couldn't get out of there!
I mean he could have just pressed the BKB, he did.
Oh, so he does right.
Wait, what happened? It went away, what happened?
Did you press it like during the slide and then...
No, but you grip there when you press it during the slide. I don't know what happened.
Did you press it and then press the slide? So he was jumping away and then slided to stay away?
You know, can you slide when you're remnancing?
Yes.
I think you did that.
I think you slided himself out at the remnant jump.
Does I think?
That works like that?
I can't remember.
Come on, Queen.
You're the expert.
I do have 2,000 memory games.
I should know this.
Can you interrupt flying around remnant to remnant
with a slide?
Yeah, I think you can.
I think that's what you did.
I think that's what happened.
Yeah.
You're right.
Well, back in the action, they've got their hands on the stage
hiding.
And that's the B. He's ready to go over the BKB.
The backline is he's just getting destroyed.
Both of them are dead on ParaVision.
They'll try and turn out a war now.
It's too big, but can they bring this Jiro down?
So Taniq's going to be able to stay on top of him.
Chase 4 from no one.
And no one is getting to completely zone by Tims and Yopaz.
The Avalanche comes in again and says Taniq, he's dead.
Tm will try to take the front.
But they're just both dying. Everybody's dying on ParaVision.
To Carlos, he's going to be dead as well.
OG get the Team White.
OG magic right there.
Flower power.
Daffodils, I don't know what kind of flower he is against something something. Yeah, but my goodness
Paravision getting shaken up
That's gonna be an easy rose for OG
It really is in this jargon after he's gonna have this to panic what that fight this a bad and hero looks terrible
I guess I'm telling you I feel especially in the hands of like a player such as they panic
He could do so much it just feels like a hero that when you give him it
It's just he doesn't get to do anything for 20 minutes
Do you really want your kind of, this is one of the best carries in the world to do nothing for 20 minutes of gameplay?
I don't know if you do!
I totally agree, I think it makes, it's so weird, he farmed the entire game and in all these fights, his ult gets pops like this,
completely instantly and for the rest of the fight, this Jarocopter is just shredding him. Why did you pick this for?
It is looked so bad in these games.
There's now OG in a dominant position.
Yeah, they really are.
They really are.
Paravision, they just...
It just feels like what they turned out with today is...
It's not surprising, it's kind of like an autopilot draw from them.
It's ParaVision, they like to do this.
And we've seen them do other game ones, it hasn't worked out.
They come back always harder in the game, two in the game, three.
And just today in this game one, the strategy just falls flat against OG's playstyle.
I can't help but feel.
OG, we're all in the map.
Sure, OG's made a couple of mistakes this game, but ParaVision, they've also...
And each time the mistakes that Paravision make get punished so much more by OG because of the nature of the draft and their comfort of playing it.
Whereas OG's mistakes never really got punished that hard by Paravision.
When Paravision did try and punish them, they just only ended up making a mistake after it and feeding so that he kills back to OG.
And now OG with this sort of lead, I don't know how you stopped Natsumi from closing this game up.
This gyro is on top of the world right now.
Saitanik is round the corner for him. It's going to be coming out during this Aegis time, so they're going to have this Aegis online for four minutes.
Saitanik down on the Jirokota. These are going to be some nasty pushes. The Paraphras is going to have to try and stop.
The worlds they're oyster, they can do whatever they want on this map. Hunt heroes go for the high ground, keep farming it up.
They have...
Maybe a decision paralysis that they've got so many good options.
It's paravision can hear the machete being sharpened in the background
Need to shape up can they turn this around
Getting definitely into the territory of if this one does become some sort of a comeback for paravision
It is going to be a it's been present on a spice
I'm doing on the optimizations. So it's a Titanic done and now see me
I'm on the side of the Titanic's about and he's trying to get the bash done next after the
Manta, of course as we're seeing these items just come out so much slower than that of the gyro
And, you know, still obviously, on top of the fact that there's a huge network feed of the gyrocopter,
you've got to remember like, for 2k of that network with the Abaddon, there's sat inside of a Midas, so...
I mean, so take that into account, just the potential of this farm gyro and the fights just completely destroys what the Abaddon's able to bring to the action.
This is also your counter-pick, right? You saw the prowlbeast, you know where it's going.
Niko's the only one who's played this hero for OG, as far as I can remember.
And you lost the lane straight up and then you got ganked afterwards and since then
It's been all she wrote
My thoughts exactly
I'm a cheat
PKB on your page. I
Would imagine they are very set and ready to start looking at the high ground
Paravision
A little bit of a pause.
Woo!
Reason?
Okay, we got a reason. I like that.
Hey, I respect you.
Thank you, thank you.
I ask for reason, sometimes we don't always get it.
We got it immediately there from Tim's time.
Mike, that's fun.
And it was fixed very quick.
It was.
We're back in.
We respect that.
That's my kind of pause.
Amen.
Here we go.
Up they go.
Huh?
Somebody's got to do something.
Ah, Yopash, he's gonna be one of your star fighters.
Oh boy, that's just no one getting caught at the start of the fight, he's dead!
Yopash, finding the setup.
I mean, they could continue to push forward here.
Gee, Statenik's trying to get in on the action,
but his bar time has been used very early,
and it's about to end.
So now Natsumi can turn straight towards the abandoned.
Statenik has to hold back.
The tier three's gone.
No one, he pulled back for this.
Yopash, here that Rihla is trying to die.
They all have to just run back to the fountain.
The tower's gone.
The Raks are getting destroyed here and OG, I don't think they're going to be going anywhere.
They still have a minute and a half left on the Aegis.
There's no disruptor up for 30 seconds on ParaVision.
I just, I don't think they've got what it takes for this point Queen to turn this one around.
This looks like OG being able to pretty confidently close this game one up.
No Pash, he's in again.
Another toss back here, Oxford was the call, 9th class out of the game.
These Flaks, they're just killing it, the whole team.
And they're just cleaning up the second set of racks around the mid.
Niko ready to make the jump out towards no one.
Another buyback comes out from Power of Vision 9 class this time.
The Nasumi still full HP.
Cheap in the ice coming out as well.
He's very close to being able to send the butterfly out for himself to Carlos.
Dead again.
He's out for 45.
Another buyback on him.
Timbs will get jumped.
But he dodges the blast with the ULs.
Still alive with the second blast.
Who'll get him so they'll bring down Tim's?
But they tell him he's in trouble, he is blown off out of the game, no buyback on him!
It is over, GG is called!
OG!
They kind of destroyed them there in that game long quit.
Man, they just got cooked.
OG!
They just looked better.
That was great play from them.
And they felt like they had to kill her instinct that Paravision didn't.
When Paravision made these moves it was messy, it was mis-executed, they're feeding kills.
When OG was making moves this game,
It was decisive, it was dominant, and I fully gave it to the ones in charge.
Yeah, I thought it really did.
It really did. The mistakes from PowerVision punished masterfully.
And maybe it's just something about the games that mean you watch from PowerVision, but...
I just want to see StayTanak on someone else.
I agree. I think this Abaddon does not suit him, it does not suit this team.
And it also feels like it doesn't suit the meta.
The heroes have been losing ever since the patch.
Radiance got pretty big nerfs. Abaddon got nerfs.
I don't know. I don't know.
And it just feels far too fast, especially when you're kind of pairing it up against something like Natsumi on his gyro.
Like, you see it on the scoreboard right, Natsumi. Incredible performance.
I mean, honestly, this gyro in the hands of OG, you might have to start thinking about that a little bit more if you're drafting against them,
because it fits so well the playstyle of OG.
And we just saw that from start to end this game.
Fantastic moves from OG here in this game.
one paravision, they're gonna switch it up in gang take.
Because otherwise you're gonna get mowed down by an OG going pedal to the metal in this
big game number one. Relentless pressure and surprisingly few mistakes. Maybe just
uh there was just like one one small mistake without that OG nigh on flawless
performance. Where the hell did this team come from? I don't get it. Like the
The way that they play the early game is so fast.
Natsumi, he always goes through the portal,
you'll see him on Winteranger, you'll see him on Gyrocopter.
It seems like the gank always connects.
Like whenever they make this early rotation,
it always results in like two to three kills
and then an objective.
And it's not like good teams don't know
that this is going to happen.
Of course they do.
Of course people have been watching OG,
but somehow they still always manage
break the game open by making an early move like this. Yeah, I mean it was kind of back and forth
in the mid game depending on the fight, depending on who was throwing, whatever, that's Dota. But
when you break the game open with a like early advantage like that from one move,
it makes the rest so much easier. Like you can throw like three times and you could still
be in the game. Yeah, I mean, especially also like with their draft right, you have this
Chen, Jiro, like when you get ahead with these heroes, you become so tanky as well.
And just to speak to why it feels like their plays always work, I think they coordinate it very
nicely. It's like when Natsumi goes for this gate move that you talk about, the lane is always
like pushed into the enemy tier 1 tower. Either you go there and they're like, okay,
we're not defending, and then you take a free tower. Or the enemy team is there because
they're like, well, there's a creep wave, I want gold, I want XP. And then boom,
Chen and Jiro, they get the team for that they want. I'm just really impressed with this
team, honestly. I just feel like you can't let them get Jiro anymore because
the side lane ganks are valuable. You're basically doing tons of magic damage from Rockabridge.
It's like more impact than almost all carries can provide. And it gives you movement speed
at a point in the game where people have kind of limited amounts of like disable and mobility.
So like you can both dive, you can flak cannon, however many heroes end up showing up to the
fight. So it doesn't matter how many to show up to defend because you're going to damage all of
them. And if there are solo heroes, you have a really good chance of running them down and
getting kills anyways. And as the game continues, the flak damage just ends up being
effective like it I just feel like it's also his most successful hero. He's like regularly abusing offlaners with it
It beats all these like tanky timbersaws than offline matchup
Yeah, so I feel like it just like hits every single one of their of their steps that they need to like slam a game down
It is currently very difficult to draft against Oji. I will say it is because
They had a lot of specialty heroes prior to the patch and to be quite frank
a
Lot of their heroes got buffed in the patch
Like you're not gonna let this team give Windrunner, right?
Yeah.
So, Natsumi means to Sunchiro, or you're gonna let through the Force Axe, which by the way
was let through in this game.
They just ignored it because they decided maybe in this matchup they didn't want it,
but it feels like they have so many specialty heroes, and the things that they do with
the specialty heroes are like weird.
They're subversive.
It's not stuff.
It really disrupts that regular flow of Dota, which means, I don't know, maybe you either
need to full commit to your style of Dota, if you're a ParaVision, and say, okay, we're
not going to pick the Abaddon, like, let's go to Sark position for something like that.
Or you just go full chaos yourself.
That's always an option as well.
I mean, they also, like, because you talk about the special heroes, this Gem Chen is
so strong.
But then we also talk about something that's like his Windranger and his Gyro.
But on top of that, it's also like the way they team fight.
I have a clip that I want to show because OG, with some of the stuff that they do,
like we keep talking about all the small things, but it's also like just the bigger stuff.
Like when we look at this fight, so Parry vision, I'm like, okay,
we're going to put the Abba in the front, but like, look, they're going on him, not to full command.
Look, like they're just baiting the backline of Parry to move forward to help the Abaddon.
And then they immediately stop touching Satanic during his ult.
Like forces ult, force the backline to come, then go on the backline.
And once Satanic's ult is like over and he's out of position,
once you've dealt with like the coddle on the back who throws in all the heals,
Then you can deal with him again.
Even here, they're just kind of kiting him around.
Natsumi stays alive.
I mean, they have a nice lead here.
But this already, if I'm parried going into the next game,
I wouldn't really rate the Slaughter that highly either.
I think it's all about this early game teamfighting
that you can protect your tier one,
fight like minutes 15 to 18 when the early mech comes out,
the pavis comes out.
I don't think that the Slaughter deals very well
with this type of meta.
I think that's also why Trimal is good,
why Tide is good.
these heroes are fast, they can build good items and like make it happen.
So I would like to see a small switch up from Parry.
I did like that draft going in.
I didn't really know exactly what to expect because I'm a big fan of like this
coddle Ember, but OG, they just had the number.
I'm surprised you're signaling out the Slardar because our casters
were quite critical of putting Satanic on a Baton.
It's true.
And so it seems that there may have been multiple things that were not
in the strength of Parry vision.
Yeah, like I would say the satanic one is like a stylistic or like a player preference type thing
Right, whereas I like this larder. I will put more in the doesn't fit the meta as much for me
But I fully agree
The tannic just looks better on his type of heroes
I wouldn't say sit like that a bad and is like his time
It's very like linear. I guess what you can do is like oh I go radiance or I run in a shield
Whereas I think this guy can really shine on other heroes that have more to offer and being like a shield bot and a guy that runs in
And he's much more defensive too, like he's a, is he here who's nice to put on the safe lane when you need an edge over your opponent?
But if satanic is the best player in the world, you don't really need some like mechanics edge. You want to give him the potential outplay like you said.
You found an edge?
Yeah, they're all over the place. Been edging this whole time.
We got quite a few actually at this point.
Do you want to share our update?
Sure. So if we could get, if we get a top down view that we're actually not looking for a Dota Tournament, it turns out.
We are looking for DreamHack Heroes of New Worth Tournament.
We have DreamHack June 17, 2012, but we're not cheating.
We're not going to look up the picture.
And then we got some faces here.
And I found a guy with some glasses.
This must be me and Aiden playing DreamHack 2012.
I feel like it has to be this one.
You were haunting it up.
Yeah, we were I think you just look at this. Is that you that could be me is that your face
Is it's the picture that I think it is?
You point your face directly at me
That's his eyes look that's literally
You had someone with glasses. It's kind of I didn't wear glasses didn't work. Well. Yeah, look at the high color
There's all but Xi is also on this picture if it's not a picture that I think it is then Xi is there too
What was the name of this team black fade e-sports? I think black fade e-sports
Unless I'm getting the tournament wrong because I played dreamhack for hon 2011 12 and maybe
So we'll make the progress, but I believe that's what it is wasn't it wasn't be a shit all along
Are we gonna win are we gonna win this tournament bros my bros? Yeah, we got third place
I'm 13, I'm 12, Zai was actually 12.
So, yeah.
Yeah.
Crazy games.
If that took the playing games against literal children.
His parents came with him to escort him,
because you know, leaving your trophy
over some random strangers, that ain't good.
And we were so hyped up about to stay tannic
entering the competitive team.
He was an old man compared to Zai at that point.
Grizzled a veteran who was looking for a chance
to equalize the series.
Because I can't imagine part of this
want to go down 0 and 2 stick around everyone and we'll be back with a game number two after the break

Long with the Colosseum
And the Grand Musician
Part of the mission has a puzzle to solve. What do we ban? What do we let OG get their
hands on? Windranger seems permanently out of the question. Axe somehow managed to slip
through and yet OG did not opt for it. Now we're wondering if Gyrocopter might bump
up the list, because OG are proving that they are not just a one-trick pony. They've got
tricks up their sleeves quite deep. So, Paravision opts to instead ban out this first-pick Primal
Beast that OG went for, along with the Windranger and the DK. OG, they continue to ban out
the nine-class Slark along with the Jekiro and a Viper.
Things getting dangerous for Puffy and the gang,
but maybe they find a solution.
Yeah, the solution was finding the pile of edge pieces
that Neil was hoarding on the other side of the table
that perfectly connected with what I was working on.
Collaborative experience,
we're working together to make the entire piece.
I was like, oh, I was like,
we have all the edge pieces over here
and I'm struggling to find what connects.
And he had this little blue thing over there.
Anyways.
Look at that.
Work on it, corners.
Oh, seamless.
Yeah, I made most of that one.
But I found most of it.
Yeah.
Again?
Again.
It's Florida.
Although, this time...
We could have been men.
They could have decided the mistake was not just the throw it made and...
Yeah.
...make something else for offline.
I mean, I guess you can throw it kind of nicely if one ban is at least on a co-op.
Um...
I mean you either need a really good lane in the off lane or like your off-laner needs to give you
Oras in some way I do feel like the
Not to like pigeon hold what your offline should do
But if your off-laner doesn't secure the teamfight for you, I do feel like you're on a very big
Like on the back foot quite strongly
Um, but for now I like all these response sd has always been good
Uh against the starter you can save the guy you can cleanse the guy with the short later
You can also aggressively purge him
Alright, you need a lot of freaking damage if you're a parry vision, because your Amplify won't work against SD later.
And if you're going and not killing the guy, you're not getting out and dying.
And the guy you're going on is also getting Divine Favourite.
So I wonder if parry can find a way to turn this game into like very high single target damage where you can cut through someone.
Or if they could look to even resort to playing the map.
Because Shen SD, while they can shove waves, they're not incredibly mobile.
Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking. If you're OG, you just pick two supports that are like, not do shit heroes, you know?
Like, you really need a spirit type hero and probably an active offlaner or an active carry as well to make these two supports work together.
Which is in their wheelhouse, to be fair. Like, I would love to see a gyrocopter.
I imagine if Paravision does not take the Gyrocopter themselves,
it OG will take it.
But I don't think you want to pick Gyro in this slot here for these next two picks.
And they're just running it back up.
He really do is on his roster.
I mean, I think the Caudal is fine here against Shadow Demon.
At least like you have heal potential for your teammates.
You have some teamfight.
Heals are good against dispels because you can't dispel HP.
I mean, you're going to have a battle just like last game,
Whichever team wins like the prolonged fights which usually like if both teams have heal the lineup that loses the first hero first
They fall apart. They break
I mean I would be surprised if og don't go for like a gyro again gyro is very annoying for these range force like auto
That you can go to the lane you cut some trees and this guy he doesn't really pressure you he hates getting flak
It was good in the last game
I don't know if you could pick anything here that would like make OG feel not good about going for the gyro on the next set of picks
What did they pick here last game was disruptor, but that was like primal beast related. Yeah
Was there anything
Special about the coddle in terms of chakra where they mainly just using it for illuminate heels
Heels plus ember it was good with the starter also like of course you can give him like more crushes in the fight
I mean the fact that he rushed Locket it just seemed very clear that that was the goal.
Okay I do like this more like this gives you the matching of the teamfight and Warlock is quite good in most of the lane.
I mean he just gives you solid lanes nearly no matter what.
I mean I would like a Tide a lot for OG, it's Ursa in the pool.
He is okay so maybe that's a problem as to why you maybe couldn't Ursa.
I do like Fiddlebond or with the Caudal as well.
Caudal as well. Yeah, it's gonna even though he's focused on healing if you land a fatal bombs on a couple heroes
Yeah, a huge chunk of damage being spread
I do think if you can find the guy in the off lane that builds pipe into the radiant heroes
It's kind of giga like warlock Caudal
Warlock also generally he doesn't pressure the lane that much it depends on the heroes
It's more like he usually gets your guy through but he doesn't pressure the enemy off later as much
My wave cutters always pretty good against warlocks. Maybe like
or Saks, Miko Aks.
Yeah, you could look for any of those.
I mean, you could also make the argument that even Dole Ursa is in the pool
and he could likely be picked against Osiris,
that you have SD against him and you kind of just, you know, you reserve the purge for this guy.
Yeah, I agree. I honestly think they could go Tide and it would be just fine,
despite Ursa, because of the supports that Ochi has.
Even in lane, when you're tied and you have one of these decent laning ranged 4s can kind of get through the lane just fine.
Like Tide plus ranged 4, gosh plus ranged right clicks, that's always good.
So to go for the tiny, it's most likely the mid again.
There is of course a chance that they do flex it, but I have not yet been impressed with carry tiny, so I would prefer if the 0 does go into the mid lane.
I just want utility out of them.
And I didn't really mind Tiny and Stark, or Tiny and Sardar either.
If you had the Amp damage, you have like one or maybe two armor ends.
Think you should have like, I don't know, Phase plus Veil.
And like it just didn't even seem like you had Amp damage on them.
So Mira's take yesterday was that Tiny is a risk because you can counter in lane.
And my argument was like, okay, well, then you want to run it as a four and as a carry as well.
But in this situation, OG, if they're showing what lane the hero is going to be in, it's going to be in mid-tiny.
So if I'm paravision, I'm thinking like, what hero can I put against Tiny that will just absolutely clap it in lane?
Which is like...
Flippers and Huskars.
Flippers, Huskars, that sort of thing. Death Prophet, but it's not really a hero right now.
Yeah.
So then why go for the Kaz-Pick here on 18?
It means, well, they have Satanic on their team.
The 18th pick is always the hero that you want to protect the most, so I think this makes sense.
Despite having Tiny having this issue of you want to dominate him in lane,
still, Paravision, the way they like to draft is to protect Satanic in general.
They need something high physical damage also to pair with Slardar,
and it works really well in that way, and it's also not the best hero to disrupt from Shadow Demon,
because it's melee, so it kind of like solves both of those problems.
It can definitely do enough single target damage to kill a Gyro.
It's not going to have to worry about dying to flat cannon, mean half HP, and being like,
well I can't go in now, like he's ready to go if there's a good opportunity.
So putting heals on Kes means that his chance of a long game, getting his ulti off at a crucial
moment, all of that is going to be facilitated and he's supported well by Warlock.
Yeah, it's definitely, like it's the type of carry you kind of need to burst or kite,
like if you do an in-between you're likely to lose the fight.
Like him going in with all the damage behind him and also SD Chen,
They don't pressure you as much, like your threat of being bursted isn't that high,
even if they go on you like Perch said, you've got the wallop behind you,
you've got the call behind you, so you're kind of chilling.
It's basically like what, rocket braage, I mean maybe gets avatossed,
but there's not much lockdown, so he should be able to play his game.
So now that you put the Kez on the field, you gotta take care of the Tidehunter,
and they actually ban out a Bat in the last.
I thought that the Axe would be the next on the Engender.
I mean, it's a little slow, but something I like against Kez is Doom.
Maybe it might just be covered too much by the centaur.
To be honest, I think the centaur for parry was quite good with what was left in the pool.
You have Stampede to get away from the SD purge, you get away from...
It still acts in the pool.
Yeah, it doesn't act as shit on Kez.
It acts very well.
That's if you go Blademel build usually.
And those have been a little bit more up in the air lately.
And we did talk like it is a pretty good pipe crimson game
Against these heroes like an aura builder would be nice
So they're first forcing oj into a little bit of a weird spot
It's like you counter the cast and get a hero that's good against a centaur stampede
Or do you play and just have an aura buyer on Niko the only problem?
I see with acts while I do like the hero
I think jumping into some of these heroes can be annoying like you do want something that can I go in and out
But no matter what you do, I think there's gonna be some problems, but I guess it's still the best one for the game
I've just seen the axe warlock and what I do think it is axe favorite like you can cut and you can build what you want
It is still like very skill based in terms of how you play like the mid game teamfights a
Hard hero to jump into me all of these heroes. Yeah, but I don't know. Maybe there's some sort of like hybrid pipe
Blink I think so it exists here where he's not going like the full 33 where you just don't go blink
But he's also getting some of these or items that'll be very effective in the game and then also I think the or item
Desire for og is answered a lot by having scam on Chen. That's a hero that can naturally build
The crimson if he wants to a pipe if he wants to right like that's one of my favorite things
But having Chen my team is like I can go play me all the off-lane. Oh, yeah
I like Paris Draft more than I did in Game 1 just because of the Slardar switchup and
having Centaur against Gyro is quite good, he's one of the better Crimson Buyers, which
is what you want against this hero, but damn, I don't know, I feel like OG could replicate
some of the moves they had last game.
They should have a good early game, a good early laning stage, you can go through the
gate again, you help out your axe.
I would say for me, this game comes down nearly purely down to gameplay.
quite even like I see both the angles from both drafts but OG once again they got
what they want. Yeah they got the gyroproctor again that's what I'm looking
up for not to me he just plays that exquisitely consistently so I just feel
like they're gonna do similar things they have great heroes to back each other up
they've got some lockdown they have what they need I think. Then I have nothing
more to say other than to enjoy a VA game that's gonna be presented to us
ladies gentlemen it's time for game number two with our casters it's
Game 2 time, ladies and gentlemen. Paravision vs OG Quinn.
Getting some last-ups in the last race. Obviously from OG's side of things, they're kind of like,
well, you want to leave the jar in the 10 and we'll run that back because we did pretty
well with it last time as they normally do. You know, they're happy to take that
once and again. Paravision, they do make some change-ups and change-ups, I feel
We wanted to see I like it they get the center now in the offlane someone that can pick up some of these auras
Against this og play style and they put satanic on a very different dynamic or carry no more bad in here
We're getting some satanic kez. Yeah, it's a warlock kez lane. It's hard to
Craft anything that beats that lane, but oji it's all the model if it ain't broke. Yeah, don't fix it
They're not trying to reinvent the meal reinvent the wheel. There we go the meal
make me hungry indeed let's see how this one goes down it was a rough game one
for Paravision switch up here in game to see if they can fair a little bit better
against this pretty powerful play style the OG has been showing just each and
every series that we've had them on like very very impressive stuff from them I
do agree with Kazoo though I think this game is closer than the other one I
I think Pejanday have better stuff. I'm still not sold on this war coddle and their supports are some of these slowest support duos ever
They will not be fighting these runes at all
Pretty much zero ability for that. So Oji will have the potential to tempo or stack it up
Which either one they prefer
And this lane is definitely still not gonna be easy because coddle nothing changed between last game in this game
The hero is still a garbage laner and China's still a broken laner, so he's going to hit them in the head
They're gonna try to pull this lane
Okay, they've got to find some sort of different way to play it, because we did indeed see
just how far ahead, not sure we got last time round, just pretty much double the CS, a few
minutes into the game against what DM was getting last time round. Obviously last time
on the slot art is this time on the center, so maybe we'll have a bit of a better chance
with the beefiness getting up and contesting the CS. A little better than in game one.
A little better, but look what's happening already.
That's a lot of damage and he'll be okay, but only relatively so
And maybe indeed also going to be a tough start for him once again in this game too
Punching will not cease
But no one already do it having a better time mid
Titanic full free farming on a hero that is much more suited to him not to speak he abandoned
No, he's playing a very satanic hero
And do you think he's more of a battle fury kez or a desolate a kez enjoyer?
I haven't seen him by the battle here, but I think after watching on this performance the other day
He was like yo that looks kind of nice. I want that
Yeah, let's give us way guys
Say as the lane goes should be nice and safe here with the colors to back him up
Unless we see some sort of early moves from OG we have seen how
good they can use the twin gates to make early plays to shake up the lanes
to fix some of the power vision always have to have in mind when they're playing
against OG in the early game. Here's to see how Niko itemize the skins. A lot of items
that are good but getting these lotuses, armor items, the pipe like the panel
mentioned these types of defensive items can help you quite a bit but there's
an interesting balance you have to strike of damage versus survivability as
is Jarocopter. Similar to the last game is sort of your main damage dealer, so you don't
want to end up in a situation where you can't bring down these provision heroes with heels
with a crimson who has auras now compared to his squishy slaughter from last game. So there
are some key differences in the survivability differential between the teams. And no one
is also sticking it to a mid so far.
Yeah, very hot start. 18 and 5 against the 13 and 2s. And that's what's with
for these extra waves coming in towards him, so.
I mean, good wave or so lead against that
of the CS of Yo-Patch so far.
No one was also an interesting build, not like Fottle.
Goes to the bracer, and then going straight into the tribe,
feeling like he doesn't need it against the Tiny,
and he can just buy the bracer and abuse the regen.
I haven't seen this done on Slaughter mid at all.
Okay.
So it's interesting, read on the situation.
Yeah.
This may be his mana problems,
because Slaughter's a hero that does use
quite a bit of mana to play for mid,
to push these waves in with the crush,
so you actually have the chance to rotate
without pushing the wave. It's very difficult to move elsewhere.
Yeah, I mean, maybe do you think it's because he feels that he can't necessarily threaten a kill against a tiny,
so he's not too fast about having the mana to spam at him?
I think it's probably a caudal adjustment.
Feeling like with the caudal, his centaur is never going to get mana from a right, it's pretty useless,
so he's going to be the one getting amped up and thinking,
okay, maybe with the caudal on my team, I can greet a little bit, I can go for this build.
It makes me a little bit stronger in these fights early.
side mate CS does seem to be a similar maybe even a worse story for DM so far in this game
too as opposed to the laning game one he's how many feels even rougher of a time only
11 last hits there against the 27 and 8 of that surmion these first four and a half minutes
it's not been easy times from on the off lane and again I sort of you know sort of
draws me back so why do you think they did let OG get this gyro-chen lane? The OG play
kind of perfectly. It seems like you're going to just have a bad time regardless of what
you're playing against it on the off lane because of how well OG can control this sort
of safe lane with the gyro-chen.
It is very genuinely and I don't necessarily understand why. We saw they banned a queen
for their potential slaughter but the slaughter was flexed until that last pick so you definitely
have the option to ban it and it is a very pivotal hero for OG. We'll see if they actually
have answers for it this game today. If the Kes is sufficient or if they've flown a little
too close to the stone, got a little cocky and they're going to pay for it.
There was one thing to note as well, I mean maybe I'm missing the interaction completely,
but isn't Shadow Demon pretty good against Kes? Because if you get the shot online,
you have that cleanse that you're able to port on whoever Kes is going on and
A large bit of the Kez's damage does come out from these kind of...
All this stuff that he's putting on you, just proccing these bashes and crits.
What I'm laying, we're gonna see the Kez get dove and dunked here by Niko.
Then we gotta dive for Ducales as well, and again, this is the move we sort of talked about earlier, right?
You gotta be prepared for this from OG.
They do it every time, they get away with it a lot.
Making use of these early Twin Gate plays.
I'm punishing you hard.
I'm getting this double kill like that, into the safe lane.
Whilst of course on the other side of the map,
OG's own safe lane is having a dream time.
That hurts!
Man, I totally agree and I think that you see the Coddle TP down here now to try to defend some, but it's the Coddle.
Okay, well, that was a bit silly for me.
Yeah, he hung around a little too long and a little too low there.
Yeah, that was a little silly.
But you can see the difference in support heroes.
OG is picking sort of the meta, strong, leaning, early games, lost heroes.
Shadow Demon Chen, it's hard to go wrong with those two.
Impairs in there getting a little spicy with nine class heroes.
He's known for that, but Caudal...
The hero is just an absolute bot in that early game, so...
Off of that kill, though, and getting some of that Wave XT, he will get his sticks very quickly, but it's another matter of...
Sure, Caudal, he's got a lot of XP, but his Centaur only has the helm, not even close to the Dom yet, and Jarocopter has a full three game.
That's to me.
He wants to try and contest here for the wisdom.
Has the cooldown coming in onto T.M.
Over to the side, no one trying to change the chin out.
T.M., can he survive against these two?
He's getting very, very low.
DeKalus is also trying to frontline here against the rocket barrage.
He's not going too grateful to Kalis though as he goes down.
What?
Look at the wisdom!
What?
I mean, he wanted to go for the kill.
What are they doing?
He could have-
What?
He had the wisdom there, that's to me.
He said, no, we have this problem yesterday, right?
XG something about these seven-minute wisdoms sometimes teams in positions where they could have just got it
Decide they don't want it. What's going on? What just happened? Is it a mind virus or something in the water?
What just happens? I mean I understand obviously last situation
He's now swimming he really wanted to try and help out and get the kill and also maybe get away from the fact
That was coming in but he just had to stay there for like no point one more second
Then he had the wish!
It was so little time, like, so little time!
That was crazy.
And a huge swing in the way of Paravision.
This top lane was going horrendous, but no one gets so much off of it that gets a couple of kills.
Coddle...
On his way to level 7 at this point.
Oh yeah, after that.
Ooh, Miko.
Woo-wee! Run, brother!
Easy dodge.
I think I see a smoke out now from Paravision, Ducalis and no one.
We're ready to get the bull rolling.
This move should be relatively obvious though, but apparently it's not.
Niko, he's gotta be walking into this.
Anything Tim's can do to help out? Good disruption.
Thoughts to blast down the blood grenade, now backup's coming.
Yopatch, he's zooming in here with the ace rune.
Fast to take him away from Niko.
Nice defensive move there from Yopatch keeps Niko safely.
Come run away that was so high skill contents the way he walks in destruction immediately turns and walks away
Like it was the perfect timing. He knows he's dodged the blast place that's full or fine timing
That was really well played from Oji. I'm shocked that no one died there radiance middle town is under attack
And he's gonna go to the desk on satanic, so
Saying the army not you get the wrong read on this hero it needs to be aggressive
It needs to be joining those fights
Maybe he's just thick a last game with the mice in the rain. He's had enough hitting the creeps. Let me play guys
I'm kind of that's all what do you like it or not? I'm gonna be a part of this game
And I can respect that because I feel like a lot of these situations we've seen in the matchups against
Oh gee when you decide to play the farm game against their gyro the gyro normally comes out on top
What I'm letting say static nearly finding himself a nice little solo killer against Tim's went up quite enough as
Tim's has ever walked away, but yeah, I think this sort of
very much speaks to how much power vision want to play this out a lot
different to how they try to go down the game one route.
Definitely and Miko is in base TP's mid, doesn't have any points in the call but
just a blade now he's super far on top of that board.
Gonna try and go back to wards and see if the blade now is off, they don't want to chase up into the high ground.
Wards and they will manage to secure the room for themselves.
You can let shield burn on no one.
Uji is definitely just gonna have to farm this game. It's not as easy for them to make kills happen and get the stamp key
No, that's gonna be forces out. He's continuing to farm with this top lane
But it's a much more even early game and if you're not getting that natural pressure they had last game
You could try to dive in for
So now cross front of them for Tim's because they had to keep him safe
Lot of pressure coming in for power vision around this tier one tower there four arrows here
I don't know if I see a defending this.
He'll probably just get closer to the blink and he's putting pressure on the mid tower
in the meantime, spamming those tosses, doing a lot of damage.
This is how I'm able to go down potentially.
Oh gee, they're going to be trying to force Paraphasian back a little bit.
I'm going to be able to stop them taking the tower.
It's a good read though.
It's great that they don't fight this thing, it would have gone very badly.
This caudal is sort of at its peak right now.
You don't want to overextend into that.
The rock also online. Warlock, he's eating his book.
He's ready to go then.
They got the smoke they do, they're ready to smoke up here probably Paravision.
The blink is flying, he wants to use this, wants to get involved.
Once you have that stick on Warlock, it feels really bad if you're sitting around and not doing anything.
Here is so much about using that ultimate off cooldown and right now
You ate the book a while ago and they've not got that they didn't immediately go for the smoke plate
They sort of split split up. I mean as you said surely no one wants to go with this blink reveal
Yeah, this is a bit surprising. I guess they're playing for the room, but it'll even have a bottle
It's not the room matters that much. No, but no one's just gonna show himself mid
So this blinks not gonna come at surprise. He and even walking it
I mean in this room. So not really a crazy one to make a move with now
They'll probably go for the smoke, but you got to imagine right O.G.
OG is going to be expecting this right.
I would have to think so.
You can see Yopah, she's blocking the midway if he's going to toss it and throw a tree at
it.
Niko running off to the side, they definitely know something's coming.
Will they catch Niko anyway though?
It looks like they might Niko.
He's getting tempted to finish off the wave and it's almost certainly going to cost
him his life.
Look at the blade mail off.
Doesn't matter, they can kill him through it.
So whilst it did seem the overall OT were sort of a where someone was going down Niko
He sort of pushed his luck a little too fast like around for a wave too long paste the price
You can see paravision really focused in putting pressure on this triangle not letting them get the stacks up
Well, I'm there to play SD Dota. They might get a good wraparound out to your patch
Yeah, they'll use the stampede for this one your partial turn get the avalanche off
But no one's still able to jump over get the crush on towards him
couple little mistakes there from OT immediately getting punished by that
move I mean I guess there's one thing you know not sort of reading the move that
they were coming for you on that bottom lane but maybe Opash should have been
able to sense that they would have liked this one back over to the mid he
was pushing out a little too far these are not kills you want to be giving up
big difference between this game and last game Mr. Tannick is involved in
these fights at both of these powers they take at both of these kills they
get he's showing up and he's having an impact giving dm time to recover right
your offlaner has no game and you're gonna need to pick up some of the slack
on that case and he's doing that yeah that's what the deaths are coming out to
him right now so really solid time he's here across the ball from power vision
that it's absolutely gonna give them much better of a chance of tackling ogee
in these early to mid game fights this smoke is bold if this time they
stick around to pick up the wisdom should be able to because at the moment
nobody from ParaVision is heading over for the 40 minute they're all just going
for the trade on the other side of the map so they will just get the one for
one no fight to Q-Claw
this axe is definitely not that useful right now needs to get to that blink
and even once he gets there he's gonna be really careful about how he jumps
if you overextending it's his ParaVision heroes you will fall
And they've got the stampede to reset, they've got the rock to turn things around.
They've got more tools than they did last game, and those Orals are on the way, so...
OG is going to need to lock in a little more than they had to last game.
They continue to steal the enemy triangle. It's definitely awkward for Axe and Static.
Even these heroes like to play around their side of the map in some ways, and defend these camps.
Unless they're in a position where they can go super aggressive, but against Caudal going too deep, not an option.
an option solar bind will own you so it's all about the formation that structure
being broken a little bit that provisions aggressive modes very much
seeing the change of angle that they wanted to try here against ogee in
game to work out that much better than what they tried to turn up within game
one. On the hunt. Catch. Scam here in the jungle. And with that, should be able to look at taking
the tier one tower top. It is a pretty hefty rotation though with all four heroes. They
don't leave anyone bottomed in the meantime to hold the space. So Niko's gonna run down
the lane. They're gonna farm elsewhere and they will get their triangle back. So even
if they get a kill, they get a tower. This is not the end of the wall for OG and
that's gonna be farming the entire time. This is a bad kill to give up.
Here you go. The call will try and run, but it's a lot of damage coming out from these
two and he just gets completely destroyed over in the river. I got the call, I'm ready
to jump, drop down onto Yopash. Let's see if we can get out here with the help
of the supports, but that doesn't look like they can save him, maybe with this
Torsi gives him a bit of space, but he's not getting out of this one.
Paravision getting away with these moves, OG not really able to put a stop to them
and now Paravision this game too, they're the ones in position to head in for an early
Roche.
And it really feels like the deciding factor in this series so far is who can be the
aggressors, who can keep the pace up, whereas this game it feels like for OG it's the
last pick Axe, but after a good lane he feeds that one kill away, dies to a
Well, that's another gank and now we're gonna lag.
Okay, apparently that's both teams packed it lost, so I'm lucky.
He has not had the same impact.
We saw him as Primal Beast last game.
Paragion in a pretty good position.
They're trying to smoke for this Roche,
but I think it's gonna die before they get there.
Yeah, this is falling so quickly.
Much more of a challenge here for OG in game two.
It's ParaVision, after this roast, there will not really be much reason for them to slow things down, so definitely expect ParaVision to start eyeing up the tier 2 towers.
It's just illusions being sent over this way. OG not ever to make the jump in time.
Botanic with the Aegis. Having a much better time here with the Kez. Great impact so far, making the DeSto Rush pay off. No doubt about it.
And we'll safely be able to finish off that BKB now during this Aegis time. So he is going to certainly be quite the problem in these teamfights.
And will absolutely be that sort of component that can definitely threaten Natsumi's presence in the teamfights
This is not going to be as easy for Natsumi to just turn up and do the damage
They've got great ways of focusing in and bringing him down
It was certainly will and they're also close to getting that crimson garden when they have that
SD does not burst that anymore. So this jarcopter is gonna have some damage problems. It's not like last game
We shredding through everyone
Will be considerable difference
They also have the Stampeed to reset a hero that's great against Shadowdeam.
I'm surprised it went all the way to 23.
We've seen this hero first phase banned a lot of times, so Paragusion gets it for their last pick.
And while he had a terrible lane, cause he's getting griefed by his 4 heroes,
rough laning capabilities,
he is on the road to recovery.
Oh gee. See how much they try and avoid paravision at this point of the game. It's paravision
very hungry to make the jump here whilst they have this strong timing. Oh gee, I understand
be not wanting to bump heads with power vision at any sort of point now
whoa quick
that hit me was dead
that's the BKB done now satanic comes of timing matchups on the side of OG
there's gonna be a bit of timing before the the BKB is online for nasumi
This is very much a game of cat and mouse as OG team fight right now
Could be disastrous and reach that point where now you have to be in full dodge mode forever
And it's very difficult to come back once you can't interact with the enemy heroes at all anymore
There's no in that space where if perversion does overextend they can take a fight
But they need to do it right and they need to seize the correct moment
Paravision super strong at this point
This is obviously one of the one of the trade-offs when you do try and run back a winning strap from first game into second game
Now your hand has already been shown
means that
The losing team in game one can very much adapt
Our visions don't they have done that so far
with their approach
They have but the way they're coming like this. I don't know if I agree with it
I feel like you're so much stronger. You have A to B to D on Kess. You don't need all five heroes to take this tower like this.
You can be setting up elsewhere. You can be using the smokes and doing multiple things at once.
I guess it's because they want the Tormentor right? I suppose so.
They're like, we're gonna have to be in the neighborhood anyway.
But in the meantime, OG is gonna farm alive. Like, you are making a sacrifice here. You will get the Tormentor,
and it's not that bad because you do get the Tormentor, but...
OG... you farm a considerable amount. So it's not all that in a bag of chips.
Oh boy
We're a little bit of no one I think you maybe could have gotten off of the reacted
Very good as we still I guess that glimpse of him just get some of the edge of the cross
Yeah, it's camera's probably placed somewhere else. He probably wasn't actually looking at his hero
Did you get the use online on your plush now so as more kiting tools
Amazing against the coddle you really want to spell the effect you're against the warlock and like you said against
and slaughter the spells are king in this game they really are they can
heavily limit the amount of damage that this cast can get out on you because of
the what's mainly with the chaser I could tie and the shadow side is sort of
two effects that puts stuff on you that makes him hurt you more to cut down on
the four paragraphs of text on those spells yeah that's a habit for you
sorry to happen but I ain't reading all that type of deal pretty much
When you start playing Dota and you open EA's Ice Blast, I remember that was the one that was like,
my goodness, that's a lot of reading.
It's like Scarath Mage's Ags, I think it was, where it upgraded every spell.
Oh, and it just halved up every spell.
Yeah, were you highlighting it?
From the bottom to the top of the screen.
Yes, it was literally like the entire, if you're monitoring it, it wasn't big enough, you couldn't even read it all.
Yep.
Bottom lane, T'Kaas! He's ready to open up the action, but the goal drops it down on us.
Drops it down on a scan. OG, they will absolutely bail on a scan. They'll leave them behind.
The rest of them will get out.
And then we kill off a Saint Tannigdorff. Another stack on the desktop.
I think OG, compared to what this game could have looked like these past few minutes,
they're very happy with this. It was 3k gold lead maybe four or five minutes ago.
Sure. Let's slow it down a little bit.
Still only the same. They're gonna get to this BKB on Jarocopter without too much feeding.
Looks like they may even get to the BKB on Axe.
That's true. I mean, I think this is one of the strengths, right, of this sort of line-up from OG around a gyro.
It can play out games two different ways, right?
It can run you over, dominate these early to mid game fights,
or if the game needs to slow down, you know, Natsumi, he doesn't mind taking it to the 60-70th minute on the gyrocopter.
He's ready to play for those sort of, you know, peak timings as well.
So there's options for OG, how to play this draft down, and then that's one of the reasons why they'll run it back most of the times that you give them the opportunity to.
in the draft phase.
It's also just the way the drafting and Dota strategy has moved.
You keep running your strat over and over and over again.
You force the enemy to beat it, and if they can't beat it, then you ram it over and over
until you win the tournament.
That's how a lot of teams win tournaments these days.
And Nolan's getting a pretty good jump onto Natsumi here in the mid, and Natsumi's
got the back of a Yopash, but Nolan's in with a BKB.
Now Natsumi trying to stand his grounder against the slaughter.
Be careful.
Satanic is coming and he's very strong.
Camp Parafician close in on towards them. It's going to be difficult. OG do have the high ground.
You come out at the front, no one is him.
Just going to find a chance to get a crush.
Oh, I think he wanted to jump right now.
Look at the Satanic.
I don't know about this. OG, it looks hard.
It's risky. I feel like you're going to lose someone here.
Satanic's in with the BKB straight away. Over the board.
3rd patch, OG still watching from the side, defensive destruction comes out from Tim's, no one turns straight towards Tim's, though he's gone and your patch will fall as well, Tim's indeed coming in with a fireback.
But I don't think they wanted to fight just then, and I can barely imagine they don't want to fight now after how rough that sort of move when they were playing with fire there, Quinn, when they didn't really need to.
I completely agree, and it looks so difficult for OG to take these fights.
Paravision is kind of just walking at them, and they're dancing, kiting, trying to find an opening,
but they just can't find it, and this Axe, without the BKB, if he jumps in and Blademell calls,
he is instantly dead. I'm surprised he didn't go for the Aura bill without the blink this game.
As Tiny's already got the blink, it feels like they need the perfect jump. They need to burst
heroes, but Axe Tiny, when you go for these builds, they overlap quite a bit,
playing as the Warlock Counter initiation, the Caudal heals, Crimson to Stampede,
so many defensive tools and para vision. They've really adjusted well with their
draft and with their items against what OG had. Like you said, that is the
downfall of running it all straight back. The enemy can adjust.
There really are 7k lead here for para vision. Looking so much better here in
in game 2. And again, just, no, Kes, Satanic on the Kes this game, it's really fit what they
want to play here against OG. And these kills might continue to roll in, they find Jopash
out on the top lane, they've got the stampede, try and protect himself with the ghost, but
they've got ways to go through it. Jopash will not be saved. Another pick off here
from PowerVision, which is leading them closer and closer towards really putting
that pressure on to take this game to the next step. Rochean is up, Paravision they can
head back look towards the pit and if you're OG you've probably got to take some sort of
time to seriously decide do you want to try and put everything into the Roche fight or
do you just want to split on the map try and get this farm up try and get ready to scale
for the high ground defense. You know which way are you looking?
It's a tough decision either way. Defending against a Daedalus Aegis Kess coming through
your base is a tall order but fighting this Roche might look like Andre the
Giant as I don't know I think they have to think there's just no way acts in a
BKB he can't do anything in these fights but you just question even with the
BKB is that enough I have my doubt yeah they're just gonna let this one go
Paravision, getting the Roshan.
DeKalus, teasing around with the golems just in case someone did appear out of nowhere and try and go for a jump steal.
But it's not the case, OG, nowhere to be found right now.
That's the Roshan, falls into the hands of Satanic, and they are ready to maybe look towards going for that high ground.
But the heck does no one have a mystic staff?
But he has nullifier cuto.
But even if he was buying axe, why would he buy mystic staff first?
And then also keep it in his stash?
Bro, you're confusing the heck out of me, that's not a mystic staff.
Mystic staff is the 2700 iron.
Oh, sorry, it's not a wizardry.
Oh, no way!
It's not a mystic staff, that's an expensive one.
Sorry, dude.
Half of wizardry, that's a bit more understandable.
They're both bad.
They're both the same thing.
But yes, there's indeed, why does he have a staff of wizardry?
I don't know.
This is a genuine question.
Well, he's getting axe, right?
you look why that one first because he hasn't got balls and he's more manner
he's gonna get yeah I don't know I don't know who knows when Owen doesn't
even have a theory that you know it's crazy maybe it's one of those misclicks
and you forgot that he bought it and it's just that don't discuss now
sometimes you open the shop you click around and then five minutes later you're
like my goodness I accidentally bought a star for wizardry and it's happen to
the best of us probably gonna be the axe unless you want to your sector as
well for some crazy moves. You know we do see these mids right time he's go for
blink yule's kind of builds. Yeah, I would like it but maybe he's doing it.
We'll see. We'll see. As it goes through some of the other heroes we've got nine
class gonna start working on his agonims. Daedalus is now online over on OG4
and that's Sumi. So again yeah he's ready to build up to be that big bad
carry on the high ground defense, dishing out that damage as the game goes
on and maybe sort of give second thoughts to Paravision and how Paravision
want to approach this high ground siege. I definitely think it's the right choice
you need enough damage or the main force and look at Kim's net worth. He is on
welfare right now. Only the shard in our keyboard, that's it. He is all in his
jarcopter. I will press shard on you and you shoot them and I hope they die
Because if they don't, we're gonna have some problems.
And it's not a terrible strat.
You know, Natsumi is the strongest Jara.
He can absolutely win these sort of games.
He absolutely can.
Despite the fact that Paravizion had this lead,
it's not gonna be necessarily a walk in the park
to close this one down against Oji.
They're still gonna be cautious with the steps they take here to progress.
Ravensvale.
Oh no!
That is not a good sign for OG. That was your knight in shining armor. Your fearless leader who... he's not dead.
Now he's dead, dead, nearly a minute without that gyro.
Is that enough of paravision to push for the high ground?
Do they care about pushing for the high ground?
Are they happy to just sort of work towards these next big items?
I think they may just keep killing him for now.
They're playing against the blade mount call on the toss back so they can be a
little bit careful, but as I say, this kind of kicky's over and it looks like it's
go go go time.
Let's have a look at him, onto the tier 3.
Incoh, get the cool off, it's a solid cool, it's a lot of damage but not enough to kill off the kez the one time.
Stay tanked while he's ready to start jumping in, Tims.
Get up with defensive disruption on himself.
Yo Pash, look over the toss back but DM has the stampede ready to go.
Good stalling. Very good stalling.
I'll be able to destroy the banner and have indeed made time here for Natsumi to come back
into the game.
Next time round though DM will have further options for the save as the axe for the sensor
is done.
That is a very big kickoff.
When OGs are lying on this burst they've got two jumpers.
We need to kill you in a short amount of time suddenly there's an axe cart in there.
There's not what seven no tail want to see if you play that
Let's have a look
Paravision really have sort of played this this sort of section at the game
Very carefully
They're making sure not to make some of the mistakes because obviously one of the reasons why last game did start to hurt real bad
Because of the mistakes they were making no one able to solo the Tormenter secure that shaft of DM
And at the same time...
She keep it at base, he's not here.
Niko's gonna get a call off on a Static to start off the action.
DM is gonna run in here with the cart.
Pick up the wall or keep him safe.
Static trying to focus now, assuming...
Third.
Now get the wrap to Dastoff.
Niko is maybe thinking about going in for another jump.
Got the battle going to Static.
It's got a continue retreat here, Static.
And Niko gets a jumpy turn.
He's in with a blink call, but the rest of the team get caught by a hoose.
Stomp on the back lines from DM.
No matter, OG they turn kill DM off instead.
OG getting out on the map and they find themselves a little bit of something into a line-up that did have that ages and they might not even be done yet.
Don't pass the prize to get the toss back.
It doesn't go for blind into the trees so it might catch the wall off there.
So the moves like this from OG that do go to show, they might be 10k behind but they will still find these little ways.
to get in, take a fight, and to align up the ages at the start of it all,
and still give them a little bit of a shake-up.
That's to me with a really cool item adjustment.
Buys just the casual Talisman against the Kez.
Now Kez is going to go back to the MKB, right?
I think he's going to buy Butterfly, but he's not buying the Butterfly.
He's going to buy the Stotanik.
I maybe even sell the Talisman once the MKB comes out.
So a little trickery with the item build, squeezing every little bit out that he can.
I think my looks of it you're talking about efficiency. There's a little bit of efficiency loss
Because I think no one in the end told it. He did indeed just end up selling it. I think I tell you I think it actually bought it
Sometimes you open the shop you click around and then you just end up with lines in his dash
Yeah, there's so many noises going on if he did
Sometimes you accidentally pick something up, you know
But indeed the staff of wizardry no longer in his hands. He sold that
Let's put it a little bit.
You can see how big they are.
Minus 500 gold.
Minus 500.
And then the DM, the DM kill suddenly went from, you know, 12k, 13k down to 10.
It matters, it matters, since Fumi is closing in slowly but surely on the satanic, just
a reaver left, and when he settles the talisman, he'll be pretty close.
Also nearing the Sheeva's on Yonpa, that's a big item, super good against the
because grating against all the heals from ParaVision, that is a massive item.
Probably the biggest item they could possibly buy.
I mean, because...
How would you sort of, you know, what's more impressive at the moment?
Is it looking at the ParaVision are keeping their cool growing the lead?
Or is it that OG are holding on and sort of setting up the game in a way
that ParaVision haven't really been able to push for anything on the high ground, you know,
which is... Now, who's getting more concerned at this point?
I think ParaVision should have the game in a better state, genuinely. I think with how
difficult it was for OG to fight for so long, the fact that OG isn't completely out, right?
You can see ways back into this game. We saw it last night. It was not that one-sided.
Even down 11k, I think it's very impressive from OG. And I think for ParaVision...
Oh, reason, reason.
I did disconnect.
So that's probably the reason in itself.
Yeah.
They have finished the shiva's.
Nico has become a support.
Scam is the new core now.
So step aside, buddy.
Yeah, I played before and I'm back to core.
I'll show you how it's done.
Absolutely.
Scam does have the tendency to get a lot of farm on his chain.
And getting these, yeah, I looked at these ores.
So the Vlad's and then into picking up the the crimson for the team the Vlad's is huge
Vlad's and then plus this satanic is going to be a very big deal
And it has committed to the MKB so
Little bit less than ideal won't have this a Tannock now
So if he does get kited and gets low during this initial BKB Jiro can out sustain him with the satanic
That is a fight condition that OG absolutely have
have some to put super just super aggressive build right.
Yeah, so Daedalus MKB it is the I'm going to kill you yeah I mean it's what I like to
see I love to see this sort of aggression but it is risky it isn't the risky and it's
also like did he need more damage felt like Talisman was too powerful but maybe he comes
to regret it. As they finish the satanic now, keep the talisman so as the falcon blade fair enough.
There we go. Oh gee. Not afraid to make a move here out on the map. 11k down. They don't mind.
You gotta be careful with that. You don't want your carry just DCing out in the middle of a
fight that could get a little bit uh... right now
i think they're going to start out whatever problem they do have before
action actually kicks off of was that be quite unfortunate
it's weird that it's just him
no it's a pc problem or what i'm not an i t guy and then there's
switch out wire or something out the back of the pc some of some is not
working
it's not like in it
as everyone else's wikisee on oji is fine they're still in
No, no connection issues from them.
But this sort of move, if you're power vision, what's going on here?
Are you expecting that OG is going to be coming out of the base or
could be coming out of the base at this sort of time?
When you look at the lanes.
It sure looks like it.
All three lanes, well, not all three mid and bottom are pushed in pretty far.
And this top lane, no one is currently killing, right?
They're all bunched up here on this hill together.
And OG, if you run up into this triangle,
This fight is most likely getting a horrible for you because I guess that's the question. Do you think they will?
Will they go as far as to do that with the smoke oji? I sure hope not. I think it's gonna be a complete disaster if they run up this hill
They will be buybacks. You're gonna run into this newly purchased blinky light on this hill
And they can cut your BKBs with ease and then you're gonna pay the price after so I would heavily advise do not run
Up that hill. Yeah, just sort of what hover on your side and see if it's actually para vision
that first sort of steps out into the river or such.
You can also just ignore this topside entirely.
You can control your triangle is,
I guess they don't know Rosh is up right now.
I was gonna say, what happened to a good old fashioned
smoke into Rosh?
Rather than smoke into getting a kill first.
Did he just always wait too risky
to sort of just go for that play off the back of a smoke?
Just to brute force the Rosham
without kind of setting up,
you know, some sort of favorable action
on the map first?
I think it depends on what level of desperate you are.
I don't think they're quite that desperate yet, because if you do it, and they find you, you're all dead and the game's over.
So it is a very much, we get the egg is cool or the game's instantly over.
That's a quite a gamble. It's like the game choice equivalent of a rapier.
Which hopefully maybe we'll see one of those, although that's who we might have some PTSD with a rapier.
It's true, but this could indeed be kind of setting out to be a game where that might be required on the gyro.
It's a good rapier game.
It is.
He's got a satanic.
He's got a Vlad's.
Yeah, the supports die very quickly.
Kez is going to manfight him.
And there's not that many disables from Paravision.
Heavy discussions going on here.
If he is sort of giving an essay.
So that's some calming music as well.
You go with the Lycraeater.
Well, he's speaking Russian.
So I don't think it would help much.
Well, I thought there was a lot of Paravision.
She was speaking English, though, for the call.
Yeah, but I think I was with Estinia.
I would assume with puppy they probably not because that the whole idea was they spoke English because then they would be less likely to kind of
Overuse words like it would help them lock in on the dota
They switch back this which board okay, yeah, like even wallastinium there there's a period where they switch back to rock
I switch back to English. I just as I could be raw
We can't look pretty bad. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not that yeah, I can barely speak English
So there we go
Racking. Let's see where they go with this. O.G.
They are, it looks like they're gonna, oh no.
How far do they go for this?
They're doing it here. They're going up to the high ground.
Ooh, and they will catch the avalanche on the DM first, but they're going to see if they can get dropped down on a young badge.
He's immediately dead. Now they turn over and they'll see me. They get the BKB off.
They deal here with the ball of light and will it waste? They're back away from it for now.
Oh gee though Tim's caught by the touch of no one.
Oh they didn't want to do that, but they did go and do that Quinn.
That was only going to go one way.
They could not run up into the front like that.
They had so much time to think about it with that pause, but they still went and did it Quinn.
I saw them walking up and I was like I hope they proved me wrong and they did not prove me wrong.
That's just not going to work. It's never going to work. You can't be running up that hill.
that was not the move, not the move and yeah we'll see it again always a risk as
you say trying to make this sort of play maybe they underestimated sort of the
fact that they were kind of 11k behind in items and such didn't maybe expect
this axe come to come out as it did from 9 class but either way a big risk that
does not pay off OG nearly sort of doubling that net worth deficit there out before they
made that move. Maybe they watched the new Stranger Things season inspired by Kate Bush
to go running up that hill but not the time or the place for it. No, not at all. That
is a painful misplay there from OG. Yeah, that is going to cost them. It went from
10k to like nearly 20k now. Yeah, that's the old double Rusky. That's a rough one.
Do you not like, you know, worth to get doubled?
No. Not within, literally, a matter of a minute.
And the items after that got a flurry, outfought, power vision.
Got with the Aghanims here for no one.
And, uh, they're getting very close towards...
...Satanic being able to pick up his next one if he'll start working on the Swift blink or the Saitanic.
And that high ground push is going to be coming in soon.
Well, Stiofoji fares a little bit better on the defensive,
Because on the offensive, it did not work out.
I think down 20k in their base, they're way stronger than they are on that hill.
Down 10k.
Oh!
Yo-bash!
He tried to get the toss back, players still get it off the DM.
But DM's here, they're gonna BKB off, gets a hoost up off onto the 2 and then Niko will be able to step forward, get the call on towards DM.
Saitanic trying to move it onto Natsumi, they'll turn back over towards the Tiny instead.
They've got the control on to Yo-bash, put the heals to come out.
Can they bail Yo-bash out of this one?
No! He still falls.
No one is Saitanic backing onto Timm's.
The buyback will come out from Tins, but Yopash, he's out for a minute and does not have the money for buyback.
Ooh, it was a good attempt, got a little bit of luck there.
When he takes gold, it's not easy to surmount.
No one's straight back in.
No one's aboard, Natsumi, Static coming in as well. Niko's got the call off, then they've got the control.
They'll be able to take through the ages, but Niko dies for his effort.
He has got buyback available on the axe.
UKB's popped there by Natsumi.
Tins.
Hold back, Static momentarily, vision there, happy to turn their efforts over towards the Tier 3 instead, no one trying to get him with the dive.
Over the walls now, it's for me. So we'll back off, continue to focus their efforts on towards the objectives.
They take the Tier 3 down.
A Rax starting the fall, and that's for me how to be careful how close we get, he's getting caught by the job.
No one in DM, in on top of him.
Destruction will come out, they didn't quite finish the melee Rax here.
So OG might just be able to keep the melee racks alive, the golem will not finish it off, the melee racks will survive.
Deny it. Deny it.
Don't do that. It's got regen. Five regen. You know, you can't forget that. You give it like two hours and it'll be full HP.
It's like two hours away, so it's...
Well, do the maths.
Yeah, I'm running it.
Five HP, 2200, so 2200 divided by five. That's easy.
It's 440. So it takes 440 seconds. How many minutes is that?
That is, what?
Seven minutes and 20 seconds.
Good math, Square.
That's-
Now why you'll catch it one day.
I'm American, you can't blame me.
It's in my blood.
And I math will double you.
Which, actually, it's not that bad.
So honestly, you know, when you keep the racks alive like that,
you know, re-listing it, when's the next push going to come in?
Probably not for at least a couple of minutes.
It's going to get decent amount of HP back!
We might even see another Aegis fight.
It might deal with full HP to be asked before they push it down.
That is true.
So, remember kids, don't deny your melee racks.
And if someone on your team does, give him a report.
Tell him I saved you.
Gotta keep those Maelorax alive.
I'm still hoping for them yet.
Check Natsumi's inventory.
What's he got?
He's close as well. He's close.
About a thousand gold away from that Divine Rapier.
Natsumi is ready to do what he can
to try and bring back this game against the 27,000 Gold Lead the Paravision have.
What he can might not be enough, he might need to do what he can't at this point in
this game state.
Down 30k, he's gonna need to pull not just one rabbit out the hat, but an entire...
What's a rabbit's house called, are they like bins or what are they?
Oh, you mean out in the wild or in the wild?
In the wild, a burrow.
A burrow?
He's gonna need to pull an entire burrow out of the hat.
Yo, I said, well, the borrower's where they live, but indeed there's probably a word for
like a group of rabbits.
Yeah, that's a blot, because there's like a murder of crows.
Yeah, indeed all these animals have like a different name for the groups.
Yeah, they've got-
I don't know.
Is this a herd?
Is it a herd of rabbits?
I don't know.
No, it's a herd of cows.
But a borrower of rabbits makes sense, because you get a lot of rabbits in a bar.
I mean, I think that could work.
Yeah.
If we said it confidently, people would just believe us.
Mm-hmm.
30k lead
Paravision holding on
In a very impressive way here with this amount of lead and that's the thing right they might be ahead
But they've got to remember that they are still holding on in the sense that if this game is a loss
They're out of the tournament
So they are going to be making sure that these final minutes
Potentially are going to be some of the safest minutes they've ever played no mistakes are going to be made
They'll continue to just get this next round of items which I imagine they want to do so
there's five thousand five hundred gold come up on cares for satanic so don't
make any mistakes the win is very much in their sights here a thirty one thousand
gold lead and the rapier should be there fifty gold away for now to me so
they will they will have that on the defense gotta hurry up the push is
coming he's gonna get it so the rapier is online it's got undispellable haze
is on slaughter now that's gonna be a problem and that really is this case is
going to who shred him to bits let's have a look is this gonna be some crazy
come back around the gyro rapier always gonna be a quick death into GG it
might be they get the jump once when the state need to come out he could comes
in with a call they get the old hair down here from nine glass they're
controlling the gyro they need to band us we be out of this one he's
surrounded the raptor does comes in that's he be trying to run his full extoll and
they've got him they've killed him off rapier hits the floor satanic picks it up
it is going to be a very quick gg after the attempt for the rapier come back
it's not gonna happen here game 2 for OG ParaVision they close it up we're
getting a game 3 worth a shot but just two down too much gold yeah and OG you
might need to change something for the game through draft is running it
Back from Game 1 and 2 did not do you any favours.
That was a completely different look than we saw in the first game.
Now, yeah, Paraphras is an excellent adaptation to the OG play style.
Very, very impressive to see. Just saw the turnaround from...
Especially St. Channing. He said, this is what we want to see from him.
We don't want to see him on and about. And something like this cares.
He pops off 11-1-7, a nominal time here on the carry.
Solid stuff from no one.
your last game around the Amber spirit started to have a few mistakes being made
was sort of dying in awkward positions this game doesn't die at all 4-0-13
from the mid lane and nine class he didn't impress us in game one with this
Kotal but he came back and he was like no I'm gonna show them what you can do here
with the Kotal for support and it worked out those last few fights with
the Aghanims it was that extra sort of factor that OG couldn't really deal
with. I think everybody on Paravision really stepped up this game all five
players a considerably better performance a better draft on the game three
absolutely we're gonna get to see some more data here today which we're all
gonna be big fans of can't wait for game three the deciding game there between
private and OG it's one-to-one right now and a night and day difference from a
party vision compared to game one this one seemed basically polar opposite
party vision we're in control the entire time of this game initially
I was a little bit skeptical, I saw Nico getting a handful of dunks on the axe and I'm like,
why'd you let it go through in the last phase?
You knew that he wanted that hero, but Parivision knew alright,
and they knew they did not need to be worried about it.
Static in the hands of a Kez was more than the solution to take care of OG in this game, number two.
But it wasn't just the Kez, there's also like a billion heals behind him,
and there was also the fact that OG didn't have that much damage outside of Blade Mail axe and Gyro,
Tiny does good disable, he repositions heroes, he has some burst, but he doesn't quite like
blast heroes in the same way, neither a lot of lockdown or a lot of damage kill cause.
Yeah, like even with the insane starting, you know, game that Niko had in this game,
look at his net for fear in this clip. He's like third from the bottom, which is really
not where you want to be. I understand that this hero is still good and it's still
playable, but I do really think that in the next couple games we see, you have like
a lot of heals and auras that will battle each other, and then you either have to out-region
the other team, or you need to have a hero where you eventually get to cut through.
I think Pari did quite well in this game with the Slardar Kez, like they don't run out
of damage.
If they get to live, they will eventually kill you.
So when it comes to me for the next game, I'm looking at like more heals, maybe heroes
like Zulma can go up, you know, Ursa as well.
I think Ursa is very good against the auras, because he will eventually cut through.
Yeah, I agree.
More heals and anti-heals.
I think so, or heroes that are taking advantage of the fact that there's going to be a bunch
of heals coming out.
I mean, it all stems from Holy Locket being clearly very broken right now with the way
this amplifying heals as well as how much it's healing because it has five more charges.
So like hyper carries definitely seem like they're going to be very strong in this
patch.
Like heroes who otherwise, these like squishy glass cannons that you're making into
like not glass cannons, essentially, I mean it's it's interesting it makes me beg the question of like
is there going to be a letter patch that comes out and fixes this maybe I'm like
looking into this too soon because I think you're on to something I mean I have a clip actually
because I want to show some of the itemization that you're talking about with the holy locket
I have never seen this in Dota yet well we're going to show the different clip first because
This is Kez, you know, Statanic on this hero.
He's very, very good.
Like, he's not just top-networks, but, like, just having, like, this freedom and understanding,
you know, you can go in this, you can find, like, you're just having the read on the map,
like, where you can go to get this kill, because this was quite a crucial moment.
Yeah, you are up, but just, like, having this Aegis, you still have two minutes left,
killing the enemy carry, like, the entire, like, map just kind of got shut down.
But then the other clip that I did want to show, Jengis,
what you talked about with the double Holy Lockhead, I haven't seen this before.
Like how can you like lock it on your five and your four like within the same drafts or just
amplifying the guys in front of you and I really do think like this
Mac with a holy locket and just some stuff with your bros that go in
It's going to be the name of the game for the rest of this tournament
Maybe even the entire patch if if nothing changes and I'm sure the teams they understand this so
They need to be talking about the right things right now
It seems like a bit much, you know
Like I wonder if we're going to have a lot of these like really quick games coming out then because one team
gets overwhelming heal and overall well being damaged and then it's just like a numbers game where the other team like
Virtually cannot do enough damage to kill them and then they're also drafting with some sort of hyper carry
so
The team that has the lockets can also push objectives and close out the game
I mean it's interesting because it's been a very long time since we've seen a pure healing meta
Yeah, it's like that a while and so then on paper the solutions that we should
Hypothetically be seeing trending as the pendulum swings back solve these
The a a separation. Yeah, for sure more vessels. I imagine. Yep, definitely some jitty pollen bags
potentially maybe more a Cro or she was Russia's he was Russia's
Drowranger, Hypothermia, Mei, Abaddon in 8.
I do feel like we're seeing the prominence of the healing,
but not so much the prominence of the anti-healing as much.
Yes, I think it will start to come out.
And at the same time, when healing, like in mass teamfighting, like death falling, becomes strong,
the bling stunners usually fall off, because, well, you bling stun a guy,
it's like you're initiating for the enemy team, because they just want to be as a ball.
I want you to go there, you pop a pavis, you pop a pipe, whatever it is.
So I do think we will see less of those, or at least have to be less prominent.
And I did like the switch up that Parry went for in this series.
They did ban out the Primal Beast, Niko was incredibly good at it.
And they put the slaughter in the mid lane, which then still allows you to get
the teamfight and the aura guy from the off-lane.
So I do think Parry's switch up was very good in this game.
Do OG have to abandon the gyro at this point?
Has it been solved? Because they were given free reign. You can have it again. I'm not worried.
They showed that they, Parvizion showed that they have a solution for it.
Do you go back to relying on it as OG? Because the Windranger is almost guaranteed to get banned out again.
So now if Windranger and Gyro are off the menu for Natsume, what's Plan C?
Maybe don't let the Slardar through, because Gyro does kind of lose the single target damage.
So like parrying a kez with Slardar means that he can definitely beat that matchup without any worries
and also amplify damage is usually counter to heal actually because rather than say like okay
We'll just add more damage like a co-op or something you say well
I'm gonna have a hero that increases my whole team's damage by
40% and that's gonna be more valuable than increasing your damage by like one fourth with another damage here
So somebody like Slardar who can both tempo the game and ensure good carry to carry matchups
if you like remotely draft okay could also be another solution it looked in
Spain with the Kez I will say that yeah that that seems like a very good
combo kind of like the pango slaughter that people are doing where you have an
early game tempo hero to play around the slaughter amp that is doing all
physical damage but not just like a traditional right-click carry physical
damage it's like Kez has spells and debuffs and non-traditional carry
things that are dealing physical damage that let you like abuse it in the early game. Whereas
if you have, I don't know, Juggernaut, Slardar or whatever, it's like this is more of a late
game thing, I guess, like with other carries versus Kes. Kes shows up to lane, Slardar presses
R, Kes holds heroes again.
Like, Kes and Ursa to me are like a little bit different in terms of I think they're
carries that don't really run out of damage. And I think that seems very good right
now with like what teams are playing. And like I have to say that the teams, they're
When you're playing this back-to-back, you're playing into this massive aura of five-man
where you can tell that the enemy team is super strong.
So it's absolutely the only things that they're talking about right now as well, like during
this mini-break that they do have.
So I really expect some pretty big shift when it comes to the heroes that we'll see in
this upcoming game.
We'll also take a little mini-break of ourselves because we've got puzzles to solve and
games to watch.
Stick around everyone and we'll be back with a game number three of OG.
This is the party vision.
The Knight of Fire. The Knight that hoodwink lost everything, forced to escape into a
corrupted force. Forced to fight treacherous beasts for her own survival, all because of
the bottomless greed of others. Now, a light-seeking revenge is all that awaits
But why not just come to be find out in tales from the Lord Keeper episode 3 brought to you by BHL
Fight aside, we deal with those safes so warm and dry

Our love was a chance encounter
A glance across the stream
Fleeting moments, two strangers needing
That swept me off my feet
Golden leaves under an autumn sun
We talked about the movies and how your life began
A light we've together through all kind of weather
And our hearts grew strong
Our love was a chance encounter
A glance across the street
Fleeting moments, two strangers meet
And it swept me off my feet
The buzz of traffic, the bright city lights
You talked about marriage, who you'd invite
We talked for hours and I brought you flowers
And our hearts grew strong
How can something so special be mere happenstance?
Was it destiny calling?
Or just like...

More glasses
Who had glasses on your team, cousin?
There's a glass
I think a guy called Smack Donald
Smack Donald?
Yeah, so if it's the picture that I think it is
It's Insania, Zai, Mi, LesQQ and SmackDownold.
It's SmackDownold, maybe one of the best gamer names of ever.
Yeah, I know that. Definitely Zai had glasses, quite chunky ones.
Oh, yes.
I couldn't really tell you who had the second ones at that time.
What was SmackDownold in mid-clar?
He was...
I think he was our mid. He was not that good.
What?
No way.
Now, he had a golden name, but he was not that good.
LesQQ, this guy, he's a good.
If he's ever watching this, my boy Jamal, this guy, he was cooking.
Yeah, but not McDonald's. He's watching the fuckers.
RIP to McDonald's, and RIP to Slark Viper, Slardar, and Timbersaw.
Because we get into the draft for a game,
and numbers three, the decider, the eliminator between both of these teams
as we are in the lower bracket.
Those teams get those heroes get banned out by OG and ParryVision.
Take out yet again the Natsumi Windranger,
Final Beast, DK, Mars, and Axe actually gets banned out this time, so Niko can't get his hands on it,
but they're still dangling the Gyrocopter. You can have it if you want, I would object.
Well, I still think like other heroes that I would very likely would want to see for the
teams or heroes that they should be thinking about, like all the, you know, the Centaurs,
the Tidehunters, and if you are looking at one of those, teams also need to respect the Ursa
whether it's with a pick or a ban.
Same with the Warlock, I think this hero has looked amazing.
I guess for a party that isn't really an option anymore.
And so if they go for the Twin Headed Dragon Man on the POS 5...
You can 4-5 the Chikiroa unlock, maybe.
True, true, true.
But it's a question of this nine class.
If you want to play the Chikiroa, I feel like if you give him the weird freaky heroes,
he'll take those.
Yeah, I feel like my bro wants even something to do.
He wants to play the Koggle.
Koggle's been working quite well for them.
There'll be three games back to back though if they do go back for it.
And Enigma. Enigma gets banned out.
You're playing against DM?
Yeah, DM uses it.
Yeah. He's good. He's got a good enigma.
I think it's almost certainly indicating something that they want to pick.
Yeah, it's definitely about something. Like it's not just some random enigma.
Alright, it's going to be a carry that doesn't have good AWP.
If they're going to pick Jarocopter, they're not going to ban them.
Definitely true.
So they're switching up their carry on OD side for sure.
Or maybe they're trying to pretend that they're not switching up there.
I learned from my boy, Kezu, that that's never how it is.
Plus, bans don't exist.
I like to think that they do.
Yeah, it's like, it's too, like, metagaming.
Like, what do you want to do if you can't think that far ahead?
Is it...
They want Ursa?
Maybe?
They're baiting the Kez and they want to get Ursa or something like that?
Yeah, because I think like OG in this phase, if you can't think that far ahead, you need to protect the next two picks that they have coming out like the 16-17.
So you're like, okay, we're picking this guy, they probably want this. Now I'm countering this with that and I don't want them to have the counter to what I'm countering them with.
Oh yeah, I'm happy. I'm always so happy to see this.
Monkey King position 4.
But every single time nine class plays it to at least lately he has played it differently
He will go for yule's he will go for spirit vessel obviously there was the dumb build before I
Personally believe meteor hammer is not bad if they don't have ways of good ways of cutting you off the trees
Mm-hmm. There's a lot of tech who knows maybe I'll get a holy lockets in the trees lock it is
I'm just curious how he plays it because you can also, okay, so they do go for the Ursa.
That's a crazy like far in advance ban.
To ban the Enigma, you know, that you certainly think you're going to get Ursa, potentially
to counter a kez that Paravision just beat you with.
It's like thinking so many levels in advance, oh gee.
I do think it's very cool because a lot of the offenders that I would want to see,
Like all the Aura guys, they're mostly the melee bros when it comes to the off lane.
So if you're a party virgin, you need to kind of like look for an in-between because it's
not easy to play those heroes into the Ursa.
Also the center is gone.
I think because they have Monkey, they can kind of get whatever they want because
they can.
This hero is going to cut the lane regardless.
You're playing against Warlock, you're going to cut the lane because of that.
You're playing against Ursa, Warlock, like that's a very hard to beat lane.
Like all the cards right now are saying cut the lane guys so okay they go for their mid laner
instead.
I do like this I feel like already when all the dominators came out I liked Invoker coming
out more and more because it's a lot of the times like the off laners that pressure this
hero but if off laners just build items like for themselves or for their team they're
not really pressuring you and that's what Invoker doesn't like to play into at the
start.
He has a bazillion damage on this hero.
They've got lots of stuns as well to set up good control.
Even if it's like, it's going to make like monkey ulti a lot easier too, because they
can do like tornadoes into like monkey ulti and this one.
There's like little set of combos like that.
Ice path to lair as well.
So it should make their, make everything just flow a little bit better.
Now I'm thinking if you're OG, you probably want to ban Tidehunter.
Just because, oh that's a good ban actually.
and plus kids sounds like a pretty crazy combo I'm just thinking Invoker comes
out you really want to leave in like a good cataclysm combo in the offline you
know they're gonna cut the lane anyway so I understand Ursa versus Tide is pretty
good for Ursa and Lane yeah but in the game it's just whatever
I think when they cut off puzzles pieces do they have to use a really sharp
knife yes one dude these are in hand this one guy and craft a puzzle piece
Artisan puzzles. Artisan puzzles. Get it off Etsy.
I mean, what else is there? Let's check out. The offline pool is getting extremely slim. Yeah.
You know what I would love to see? Oh, just in general. Yeah. And I could see DM pulling it out.
Yeah. Brewmaster. I was gonna, I was thinking the same. I think Brew is a good hero. You're kind of
playing less around the split, I guess. These, well, the split's good too because you're getting
brewed up on all the... There's more about the split now. On all the brewed in this game for sure.
You're like a right clicker and then when you split your pandas are also right clickers
I feel like Kaz can destroy your bruise though. No he's got a lot of our poor perivision. Oh, okay
They have a lot of time looks good, but I do like it because against Earth
I think you want like some in between like that's why I also like the Nightstalker band
That's what extreme gaming did yesterday. That's a good man
Like when it's hard to like find you know like the cookie cutter like one line heroes
You want something that does like a little bit more you like creative
You can give the team fight without getting owned by the earth so you don't have to like full commit on the auras
Is there something else that looks cool
I mean it is a lane with the monkey, but you you know that they're just gonna they're gonna split the lane like parry
Don't really lane straight up about ever. Yeah, I don't like doom because there's a centaur
That's nice, Arcoban looks so good.
Like it would have been nasty as well against these two supports that have no stuns.
Like you just run them down with the wolves.
I don't think Beast is the same because you're playing into status resist and saves.
It's not so much about the summons.
Yeah, I mean I like Gru because it gives you stuff to play through.
You also know that OG make moves.
Like I don't want something that just sits in his lane and does nothing.
Like don't let OG like have all the three moves. So it would be cool if you're here
I'm sure you're not gonna win your lane, but that's you know basic
They're never winning the lane right now anyway. It's all just like new one though enough
Yeah, it is it is it is a bit different the changes red a little moderate like where to you would you need to play like once or
Twice feel comfortable picking it it is. Oh
Wow, that's a
Age-old well, you know the thing is you say into Ursa, but I've seen this exact thing where paravision picks it into Ursa
And on one hand, Ursa counters it in the game until the egg, but it shits on Ursa in the lane.
Now my question is, you're shitting on Ursa and lane who has a Warlock backing him up.
Is that even possible to do? Is it even possible to beat a Warlock plus Ursa lane?
I guess you can. If the lane is always pushed and you have a lot of room to chase, you can.
But I feel like Warlock Ursa should be pretty chill in that lane.
Okay, so let's go for the Lesh.
How much lane cuttery is going to be happening between this Monkey King and Phoenix against
a Ursa Warlock?
I think first couple of waves but you can play the lane after Monkey gets level 2, Phoenix
gets level 2, level 3.
Level 2 spurs you can definitely play this lane.
I guess OG are just going for the very heavy committal at mid game that you jump in.
I wouldn't say that Lesh is very good against Phoenix.
Anything that makes it hard for you to run in and stand there.
Phoenix is very good at that.
He can stop you.
You have the egg later on, but I will say it's not the easiest Phoenix game when it comes to the mid game
Both St. Pete and Ursa are quite good against you. Yeah, it's gonna be easier for them to disengage from a bad egg
Well, that looks dangerous or jump in and kill it aggressively if they really want to
But I guess there's not that much catch for D and Volker
Like if no one can play around like the centaur blink that eventually comes out and like the earlier stages of
not so mislinked maybe he can be fine but they do have tons of defensive
capabilities on the OG side shadow demon and like warlock backing people up so
if they like bait bait out a bad egg disengage reengage again they might have
a really good shot at what he fights I trust DM to call for a good Phoenix
game you know despite being against the Ursa I feel like he saw something in
this game that we didn't and I trust that he's the best Phoenix player in
in the world.
Is Lockett Phoenix the thing that I made today?
It could be.
But you want Fire Spirits, you could buy it later.
It seems like Lockett anything.
Maybe Shiva's Freshest.
Oh, there we go.
Some Yule Shiva maybe against you or so.
Yeah, Yule's is good for sure as well.
All right, it's time for an elimination game.
Loser is going to be eliminated from Dream League Season 27.
And winner gets a date with Extreme Gaming.
Let's find out which team it's going to be with our casters.
It's Odie Tixxel and Quince.
3 time ladies and gentlemen both teams are ready to go already Oji coming to the power
inside of the map with this smoke to make it look some early action they're gonna have
to stand up here with the destruction Oji will almost certainly be first blood they
able to give it to Yo-Patch? Not quite, but they'll still be happy with that as a team.
First blood here for Tims, as OJ are able to find that action. Game 3, I'm looking forward
to this one Quinn. I do feel that both teams, they're giving us something different compared
to what they've both been showing us so far this series. You know, we saw Game 2 what
happened from OG's side of things when they tried to run back something similar.
They changed it up, and on the other side, ParaVision, they changed it up as
well.
This is very classic paravision style the weird for the DM on the offline Phoenix
They've got very little draft integrity in the paravision side
It's a lot of the skirmishing sort of weirdness the getting farm the kiting whereas og
Their draft makes a lot more sense together. It's just have they been counterpicked by paravision. That's the big question
See
And the eyes on top lane because now student taking quite a hit here for these to be fine with the shadow words
But as we're probably seeing signs of pressure will certainly be on to him between these two
See how much the DM Phoenix can do to slow down the answer in the laning phase
But some of these matches because you're talking me about this right there at the mid lane
What would you sort of think about the lush coming in?
I mean vokers typically considered a counter to the last on a bit surprised they picked the lush into it
It's not the best Lesh game ever is good with shadow demon and it can be pretty good with warlock
To you want you get this magic damage bro who goes in uses the heels
We can use the disseminate, but it's it's not good against a voker. It's not good against Phoenix
It's like it's a it's a weird pick not totally sold on it. The lane should be fine
These four and three against the eight and one so
Roughly even it's got three creeps coming in a tower that'll probably get
but definitely not some free-lesh game. And the hero's misanthropy fast, it has also been nerfed,
so it's not the same mega burst boy it was before. I'm not totally sold on this big.
So when you look at the overall line-ups, you have a bit more faith in one of them coming
into this camp three? I think if OG can get out of lanes in a reasonable state,
I think their draft is better together. But right now they're getting really smacked
bottom and Centaur being a part of the game early on is a big part of their draft. They gave the
accursed Jikiro hero everyone knows the most broken laner they opted to ban the slaughter instead
and they also keep banning this viper so giving this hero and it looks like they're often just
paying the price so far. Of course one of the similarities of Paravigian's lineup from
game two we are getting satanic on the kes again at a fantastic time in that second game so if
They're able to set him up for this free start in the lane.
He is going to be warmed up and ready to go for round two with the Caz.
As you can see on the CS, pretty much perfect stuff here from him in the safe lane.
Thanks for the presence of Mr. Carlos Chiquira.
And, you know, we didn't really touch on it too much,
but 9-class playing his super annoying Monkey King.
The Slark is banned and he says,
you know what, I'm done with range 4s.
I'm back to my melee shenanigans.
and shenaniganized, he will.
And how good does he live this game? Like how in the Monkey King does it have potential to be quite annoying for some of these heroes on OG?
Yeah, I think he's definitely got some places he can gank, especially if the Stay Flame is going so well, he can keep you there and gank.
He can help us be next to the lane and ensure that DM is a good start.
And Jakiro can also, you know, we saw last game, and the game before, OG being the ones using the gate.
Do call us, he's probably going to be the one with the three of the gates this game, as there's no way this case is going to get pressured.
Not for sure yet, so Tony, definitely having the setup ready to be able to hold his own down here.
Nika relatively low, definitely has to be careful on these early levels.
Mid CS, 18-4 against the 16-7, very close between the two of them in the laning.
It is even, but I think being even favourites in Volker is he's much happier in a sort of
chilling flat position whereas Leshrac wants, he wants in balance, he wants to find these openings
to use that he needed to get kills because an ecstatic stale game I think can be difficult for
OG to fight in this early game, some great spells from Paravigian heroes, and your warlock not
going to be joining very early and your centaur is having a terrible lane. He's getting completely
these zones. Sunstrike comes in with the Echo Slash from Static, they'll be able to take
him out. So definitely as you say, they're doing what OG was doing against them and some
of the other games coming in with these early moves. This time in the round is Parafician
making these plays, 9-class heading down there and ensuring that this bottom lane goes
even further in Parafician's advantage. Tim, once I run, just get tipped by the
found list. And the Sunstrike, it's a lot of damage. I mean, these two supports
running across the map, causing issues very much here for OG, as they set it up a lot.
Now I'll tell you what, so far so good for no one. He is not missing a Sun Strike.
No, he is not, and they're looking at Yopah's here. You're going up super far, just really careful.
They will have the safe way back, and does have TPs coming in, but still it's going to get
sewn down a little bit. Multiple TPs in fact coming in here from OG. They want to make sure
the platform and do not get away with this. They have the disruption set up, the balanestrike
comes in, OG they won't get any kills out of this but they will at least of course keep
your apache safe and able to stick around for the way.
One bright spot for OG is that Asumi is doing very well up top, up 800 net worth on Phoenix
and Phoenix is not a hero that plays particularly well from behind, especially against this
bear. In the mid game he can absolutely get his egg eaten alive.
Finding some good set up here is 9 class, try to use the bannalist to hold back your
patch because some good body blocks come into play, Tim's in scan, unable to insure that
9 class is off the map for a little bit.
Miko, continuing to get punished down there, only 11 CS at 6 minutes, that is rough.
That's a 2 CS a minute.
That's true.
giving him even more of a taste of sort of the experiences that Niko was having to go through.
No, no, not sort of Niko. Dm was having to go through right in the other two games,
where we very much saw Dm being the one that did not get a start in the off lane.
Top lane, Natsumi's getting dope, but he's actually sort of turning, starting his ground,
trying to fight back. It won't work out here for Natsumi as he does fall. Dm, heal it up,
will survive the tower hits. So 9-class, they might have been able to kill him
whilst he was around over in their triangle, but as soon as he's back on the map,
Straight back to making plays and DM is going to be six soon
That means this top lane is going to get really scary
Jekiro's gating and Ursa cannot inhabit this area anymore. Lesha's TP
She can do one from base, but it's not that strong of a TP
Phoenix is pretty much unkillable in this egg. They got to be careful around it
So Lesha's TP. I thought that I think
Absolute was bought this is around
Scans been hit though, so OG know that someone was watching with a tree lamp, bottom lane!
Looking for the setup!
There's no way they have damage for this.
I don't know when they're enough satanics, fine, and has Dukalis and 9 plus by his side.
Somehow, OG is sort of holding on on net worth, but it does feel like they are falling behind in this early game.
My track is keeping up with Invoker for the most part.
One pass, then he gets fed up.
Destruction will only buy a little bit of safety for Tim's.
The Splashes come in.
Another kill for Satanic.
Again having this complete free farm in this lane.
Getting handed a couple of kills in this laning stage to it.
So much aggressive potential from this Paravision line up.
Nine classes been everywhere this game.
The support duo of Paravision putting in some heavy work.
So you're going to look at this Rune, your foes will get it, but not while
taking some... Oh, okay. Okay.
I'm in a lot of damage here with the Colts down from the meatball.
Defensive destruction will come into play from Tim's.
Dive 4 for DM. He's ready to go with the Supernova.
They can't kill this act. They've just got a run.
And that's not going to be an option for you, Opash.
Core underneath it.
9th class doesn't even end up ticking out. He survives.
These early game moves.
Just looking that little bit of hot shirt from ParaVision this time around.
It's a big TP from DM. Very clutch.
Seeing that fight going down. I'm not sure if he is the one who reads it
or someone calls for it, but...
The great TP, a big kill in Leshrac. This is not a game where you can be behind.
You have to go to blink first. You really want the Kaia after, but without a BKB in this game,
it's hard to see a world in where he's not just insta-kill.
Look at this down-bottom. They're going for the dive play. That's the Sun Strike hit.
They have done so much with this Sun Strike pressure. Every single player has come out.
No one. He's out of Sun Strike ready to throw into it.
Barely missing any of them. And getting involved in getting this time, of course, the
The Luxury off that last hit with it as well. That'll be as Midas done. Coming out here 9 minutes in.
It is interesting to buy the Midas still in the Invoker. The XP is a huge component for their Invoker.
Cares more about the levels than he does the Gold.
We'll buy it anyway.
And this Earths we've got it here. It's his old scores.
And that means no top lane for him.
Most likely until this comes back off. There's no stampede.
Oh, more Scam tries to clear him out of the trees with the Golem, but he's off the mark.
And now he might just be dead for this, Satanic's here, Sunstrike's in, another one for no one.
Oh gee, they gotta slow things down, because at the moment, Paravision, they're a step ahead on all fronts.
I'm not sure how they slow things down, where can they make moves, how can they respond to this pressure?
From Paravision, Centaur is not joining anything for a long time.
And Leshrac, it was the last pick, but I don't know if it's the last pick you won, it just doesn't fight that well against these heroes.
You want something mobile something slippery against these
DOTs and flows and pervision, but a lack of hard lockdown less is the complete opposite he
Hate playing it's all this damage over time all this gunk. He has to run into in this game
I worry for your positive ability to actually get involved until he gets that blink dagger at a minimum
At least it will have quite the stacks here for them set up as we saw down the numbers much more than his
I don't think you can even farm this.
I don't think, yeah, he's not gonna matter to clear this.
Oh, I don't know if that works.
Careful.
Brother.
I mean, they need to, obviously they do.
They've got to clear this before Paravision gets some sort of glimpse of this area.
It's a dead mid tower, a top network to panic on a not-abandoned, and the pressure is mounting for OG.
Seem them fall multiple times in this spot, around this sixth place, it's been the barrier that hasn't been able to break yet.
Amid.
They already start diving up to tier two, Sam.
Sam, this is going to come up with a defensive disruption.
There's a little bit of safety for Scam, and it looks to be enough. Scam will survive.
Assuming pushing in top in the meantime.
But they're going to lose bottom tower as well, so Tannock pushes the wave in.
chatting up down here it's gonna be crazy desperate timing on the case this
game it is having such a fast start doesn't get the last on the tower a
little bit of misdeficiency but still yeah death later 800 go away for satanic
this game dm level 8 with the vessel online he wants to fight fight fight so
incredibly strong which he is doing a good job keeping the efficiency up
If only 2k down despite how tough it feels to them to interact with the Paravision heroes,
you need to find some timing that allows them to punch back a little bit.
Because right now, Paravision can do whatever they want on the map.
Very time-sufferaging.
I'm not afford to get caught.
Now we're looking on the battle fury timing for us, so just under 600 gold away, so things
considered, Janet, definitely not the worst of timings for Natsumi, should still have
a good chance of getting his farm online.
No one, definitely going to be a problem this game, already has been, 204, fantastic
sun strikes and with Midas ATOS 40 on line hit 12 minutes in playmaking is
absolutely an option for men as Invoker is something to be feared he is 100% I
think the hope and the bright spot for OG is that Paravision heroes no normal
blink stuns no traditional structured lineup it's not as you look at this
lineup spirit would never pick this right it's it's very much the
Skirmishing its tempo. Yeah, it's we build the lead and we play off the fact
We have a gold advantage because our heroes are good at this early game, so
If oji can win a fight they can pull themselves back into shape a little bit
You can definitely see them turn things around
I guess that this sort of question is when you're playing against nine class on his monkey king
How do you play against like how do you stop him from being able to get this kind of vision advantage upon you?
Do they have tools to to prepare themselves for the fact that the monkey king at any moment could be
Sort of setting them up the vision up for power vision
Good dodge there from Satanic. That was nice
And then I do what I think you become strong enough that you just don't care that he sees you
You can just push down lanes you can chat up and sure someone's looking at you
But the guy looking at you does no damage and you don't really care. This is a good move straight to the top is
Is yes they're gonna be ready for this one
Doesn't oh, maybe he does know it is go for the ancients. Okay. He knows
Let's see. Is he gonna stick around for both of these camps on the way back or is he gonna keep moving?
He might live even if he hits the camps if you have to stampede and they have teepees
See how ready they are sort of to press those buttons in response because that's to me to try to change
They're getting closer. There's the ballonist into the control. They easily have a no way to get out of that when a tool doesn't even get the
Enrage off. Man, they were trying to get Enrange with the ballonist strike into the ice path and they executed perfectly with the silence
and satanic as well. Trying to find 9 class. Oh, it's so annoying. Climbing into this crap is the worst.
Like leave me alone, hopping on these trees, ugh it's the worst.
You can see how claustrophobic it is for OG, they were rushing up there to try to get
these kills because they just desperately want to find something, the bottom tower remains
alive and all of this is still quite healthy.
Paravision 3 tier 1's taken and 3 tier 1's alive for themselves, they are absolutely
in control of this game and OG just left responding constantly.
a little bit up top, but ParaVision, I think they want mine starting up for this fight.
They're standing on a war, they need to be really careful here.
Nothing to do, G realized the scan's hit. They do not want to end up walking into
an unfavorable fight against ParaVision right now, they've got to get out of here.
The good dodge they would have caught there could have been disastrous.
Can you smoke towards Invoker?
They're going to try.
OG and Owen on the same wavelength but no one sniffs it out.
He does.
Way before I end gating back.
Or is he?
Or is he going to stick around for these creeps?
Uh oh.
He's going to start farming his way back along the bottom line of the creeps which
might...
He's being careful though.
He senses something.
for sure but does he sense it enough? Looks like no.
Let's go for the Ghost Walk, Sentry's laid down, but the stun is there. Get off the tornado
and the definite blast, he's making them work for it, drops down the ice wall but they'll
be able to get over it and will manage to get that kill.
And this is the first time I've seen Misanthropy, Leshrac, since the nerf, it looks terrible.
The damage is so much slower, at this point just take chronoptic nourishment, holy cow.
I worry for this Glacius Impact in this game because that Invoker kill took way too long
considering the scab is completely alone.
And apparently they might have lost an Invoker down on the bottom lane, but the rest of
them ready to go into the Rose Town, whip the Desk and later on save Tannick.
And obviously knowing the OG very much elsewhere on the map, there's going to be no likelihood
of interruptions.
This rush out will be theirs and of course always brutal to be able to force these early roaches against the team that have the Ursa
It was big and Kess with the BKB almost finished and the Aegis he will be
Starting to look similar to that last game. Oh, do you be getting a bit of deja vu this fearsome bird stacking up items?
Yes, so the
The best thing they sort of have, I guess to fall back upon in this game in that matchup
is the fact that they do have this air survive.
If Natsumi can get into a position where he's got that BKB on top of the blink and the battle
fury, there absolutely is a world where he can get in, get on top of the cares, and
just sort of out DPS the cares when it's sort of that kind of 1v1 trying to take
down each other situation.
It's not going to be easy to find obviously all the tools, the powers you have around
But it is absolutely something that can cause issues for the Caz down the line it is
and Paravision it remains that starting a team fight
It's not easy for them. It's a monkey stun into an ice path into a Sun strike. It's very delicate. It's skillful
It's this back-and-forth very kiting specific style from Paravision
Oh, hello there brother
Miko has the stampede but he's not gonna get the chance for it. So I'll listen to stunt.
Pervigin controlling those gates really well, giving them killthread on both side lanes and that means
this tormentor is going to be very difficult to fight for OG. They will not have the pipe finished up by then,
meaning Centaur is going to be pretty much useless for this fight.
I question if they should even go for this. Has BKB Agus?
Ooh, it's not an easy fight to take.
Even when Natsumi has the BKB on land, what's his role going to be in the fight?
He's just sort of sit back and wait for the Kers to show themselves, get the jump on him.
Are you looking to sit back, get ready to just...
Oh, and hit the egg, take the egg out with the Fury Swatch.
Once the team fight kicks off, you know, what's Natsumi's priorities?
You definitely have to pick and choose your targets carefully.
If you see a Jikiro, you can burst, a Phoenix that you can burst, you do have sort of a jumping
combo between the Lash and the Earth, so they can jump together and they can potentially
burst the hero, but he does have to be careful about who is around from Paravision because
if he commits first and then Kez locks onto him, there's no fighting back right now.
Because the Aegis, you will just, you will go down and you'll only burn the Aegis
and that is not a trade you're happy with.
So much to talk about our vision. Don't be able to chat up for this.
It's all for free. Just scouting Cataclysm in the meantime to make sure they aren't smoking
and they are not. Nowhere near. So Uji just farms up and gives it up because they know
they have no business. Shard for Monkey. It's pretty good. It's a pretty good shard.
Gonna make him even more annoying to kill if that were possible.
He's gonna be in and out of these team fights like nobody's business.
Also got the hop to level 5, so Simian Stridefast has been activated. He is now Omnipresent.
I haven't been able to catch him the once this game. Outside of that.
Been pretty much everyone. 1-1-7, involved in 8 of the 9 kills.
We'll see Tom, the old patch.
It's near call by the Boundless, Statenx pretty trying to have it. Golem will get dropped down on two more of the two of them.
If killed off to Carlist they might have the chance to take the Aegis down to the hands of Statenx.
He's falling pretty low, back off at the parry.
As he dive forward off TN, doesn't want to commit him with the egg in this position.
He could have got stomped there.
Viko definitely could have cancelled that dive, no matter how he killed the Phoenix there.
I mean, I think if you're OG you want to try and poke a little bit more here.
You've been able to take the Shakira away.
away. You know that Satanic's not in the healthiest of positions. HP's low, Shroes still has the ages,
but this might be the little bit of a chance for Oji to strike Paravision by surprise. We'll see
if Paravision expects this. They are splitting up, but if Satanic's on his own, Oji might have
the chance to take him out twice. Looks like they're going to... Oh, Dukala's.
Yeah, coming back into the game. They want to dive this. Straight in under the
tower. As quickly as he's back in, he's going to be back out to Kala's. TP's
These are coming in though, can Yopash get out of it?
They have to go in for the dive underneath the tier 1 to make this play.
Is there anything they can do to save it?
It's going to be up in the air, the Wukong's command laid down, waiting for him on the way back down.
Cold snap there, Yopash might have got the jikiro a second time, but it costs him his life.
It's not the worst death ever as your Synthar is pushing down top lane and Ursa is pushing down bottom.
So it's used for efficiency, it's not like they're bringing 5 heroes there and blobbing around.
So you can see the network doesn't even change really and the very least the opage does get the last hit as well
So roughly even I'd say to be honest
I guess this is also sort of moments where ages is in the hands of para vision and with this sort of action that you're growing
At them on their side of the map it's stopping them from being able to get away with something like a tier two town
Yeah, you maintain some control the map
Continue to farm up and if you look at go to plus
It's only saying 52% for Paravision because of that draft discrepancy. Paravision, their heroes, they need a lead.
They cannot play without one, and they have gotten it. They put themselves in a great position to win with their draft,
but if any mistakes arise...
Oh, look at this down bottom.
I want a 9 class. Get the quick setup. Now, Steven's going to show himself with the blinks there just in time.
I won't be able to get the catch on to him, so it's just scam to fall.
But, for sure, very, very much, a situation in which I feel that we have seen Earthsus
being able to carry their way out of in some of the previous series.
You cannot forget about the potential of this hero.
It can just sort of just destroy most cause in these sort of situations in the fight.
If you get that jump, this hero will provide the damage to burst even the most farm targets.
definitely can the BKB online it's shattered even to help him out warlock
having this solar crest and peed pipe he's got a lot of tools to aid him it's
not just a solo bear it's a bear and all his friends
sounds like Winnie the Pooh is he keep his up to top lane so I think it
made the connection here. Coming up towards the Tormentor. Paravision's starting to back
off from this corner of the map though, so OG won't quite catch them with this sweep.
With no one showing anywhere else, midway have pushed all the way in, look where it
sits, how close to the tier two becomes incredibly obvious where the smoke is going
to. Paravision trying to finish that butterfly, which is going to totally change
this matchup.
Between Ursa and Kez, there's now Shiva's done as well on Phoenix.
They are building the anti-Ursa items, trying to deal with the Natsumi bear knowing he is
the key to Oji's comeback here.
11-5.
A bit of a slowdown, I mean, from Paravision, what are you looking towards next?
Are you looking to try and accelerate the game or is it sort of just sort of maintain
this lead setup for the next road shot?
I think they'll just be farming and playing for pick offs until this next Aegis, no one's
Ghost walking down bottom. He walks on a sentry if he's not careful. They do kill the lane obbs if he was looking towards
Yeah, I think they're trying to finish this butterfly and then at this point Roche can start spawning in 10 seconds
And then you're like, all right, we're just playing for Roche guys
No one's trying to mess around with him here. This instruction comes in onto Nika
Dang a bit annoying. No real kill threat here
Maybe forcing some reactions scaring OG a little bit, but
We continue to farm, Natsumi has the shard, so he gets that extra bit of burst damage and
definitely cut through this Tukiro pretty much instantly, maybe even the invoker and
Phoenix if they're not careful.
With the butterfly, Zotanic is probably off the table, but with a chain stun, even him
they've got to send Tarst off into the last stomp, they're not without pools.
And an amplified damage room ready for the next fight here in the bottle for Natsumi.
Oh, 9 class.
Gonna get the vision to start things off, they died 450 and doesn't want to commit yet, but the supernova, they've burned the matter of Niko.
And Korya with the gliding there, off from the side, they're trying to come in with a wrap round Natsumi, he's got a pop to the side with the enrage though, step back away from Satanic.
Rest of OG coming in from the end, the bottom side of the fight, Yopash is in, but as soon as he's out, they put the stampede, they're back off,
They respect the fact that Stanktanic put the BKB, but the same time, Yopac is trying to pop his own.
Niko tries to get back in there, now drop the golem down, now Spiby's in as well, trying to kill off Stanktanic, but the raptor dance goes off.
Stanktanic survives, oh gee, they have to bail out of this one.
The bounce is coming on to Yopac, the stun strike is connecting on to Natsumi as he tried to escape the edge of that teamfight.
Paravision, clean up.
They get the three of them, they're not done yet, nine glass.
Closing the gap, setting up with the yulesteps ready for satanic to claim another triple kill for him.
OT they tried the hardest there to get a fight going, but they just get completely demolished by
paravision. They were not on the same page going on different targets, getting a little bit messy
and split in these fights. Moments like that are where being an older school team having some
veteran players that have been at that absolute top tier level comes in clutch, the communication,
the calls, the structure and consistency. It's not quite there for OG yet as they messed up this
teamfight and now with Roche on the horizon that is not a teamfight you want to lose this
paravision. Look towards it with another Aegis on Kaz. That's a rough spot to be in.
beautifully placed there around the tier 2 catching that sumi as he tried to escape.
I mean no one's just been controlling these fights perfectly and it is so hard
for OG's to fight into paravision right now and it's only getting more and more
difficult now down 14k and for the next five minutes having to play again
into another Aegis on satanic. I feel like you can maybe feel the pressure
getting to OG a little bit doesn't feel like they're playing quite as
as crisp as they were in that game one.
To feel their tournament hopes on the line,
they know they're down gold.
They know their position is not easy.
They're gonna muster on anyway,
looking for whatever opportunity they can find.
I'm gonna have to go any sort of big on
around the corner.
I mean, the MKB is around the corner,
up a hill, through two doors.
The next house over, it's not quite there yet.
No one can be online as well. We've seen how much he's been able to throw out in these
team fights. Now even if they find him, unlikely to be able to stop him from getting his full
combo off as the invoker. This is taken on the bottom. It's satanic with many minutes
of Aegis. Paravision. So many options on how they want to move forward here from this point.
This monkey here continues to be a menace. See in that last fight he just is so hard to kill,
always scouting them, kiting, poking, getting so many of those balance tracks off.
He is a thorn in their side that they just can't pull out.
It's done a crazy amount here for Paravision.
OG's trying to prepare themselves for the fact that Paravision are likely to approach the high ground.
As soon as they're standing at the front, they've got to be careful.
He gets out with a blink, DM diving in.
He's getting some spires for himself for now.
Force back of CPs from OG, get them pushed back into their base.
And their base is not where they want to be they want to be out on the map farming so they can catch up
Natsumi is
Trying to finish that MKB he will probably get it before the next big fight
But will it be enough satanic now completed on satanic his namesake item
6-0-5. Is that a great showing so far in both of these Kez games?
Yeah, I got to start feeling like no more about it. We've got to be staying satanic on these Kezs, these active carries.
He just hits them to be an incredibly flashy player. And it's just doing that much better.
Look at this top. What on earth is that?
That's an Alacrity Kess.
Excuse me? What is this?
Holy crap.
Oh, that's the Mibrex, Tom.
They're not fast. The bottom axe is gonna die the same way.
There we go. Alacrity's up.
Dude, this is crazy.
For fortification out, you're a patch.
He's done on to 9 class but nobody else wants to be jumping outside of the base right now on OG.
That's gonna be so close. He's pretty much got the money for the MKB.
But he needs to somehow get out and get that demon edge.
Well he got it. He hasn't just picked any swoop to behind.
Alright, he's coming back. He's coming back. So he's gonna have it here for the defense.
Kai Yasha completed for Yopah so he can get that thrown off a little bit quicker.
quicker, but you can't kill this Kez until the Aegis has gone to the minimum.
Even then, it's not going to be easy, but it's impossible right now, so OG may just
wait up this Aegis, let the gold lead continue to grow in hopes that they get
that one key comeback fight. But in the meantime, 9 classes,
is de-warning all your wards with that jam. You're losing your control, your grip on the map.
Torment of Paravision.
So they're ticking off all the boxes here.
As they move forward with this advantage.
This game three. Elimination game. Everything on the line here for both of these teams.
See, Night Class. They found the setup. They've got the catch. They'll get the kill.
Good grief.
Nico gone. DM ready to dive in for more. They found Tim's off to the side.
They'll try and hold them back with the disruption, but Night Class, since they've had it collapsing upon him.
Tim's gone. No pass.
We'll catch. No one here with the opening stun. They'll drop the golem and that's it.
Wow.
killed him off, a huge kill, they're traveling towards the supernova but they can't get the
hits in, they've got to kite it out, bail off for now, but they'll be happy if they
could sort of just take a moment to relax here, they just managed to get a very free
kill, as no one makes a very uncharacteristic mistake there stepping up to the base on
the front, he was not expecting to walk into a last stun, but that's exactly what
he did.
Now that was a very peculiar decision, he kind of just, you're right, he just
walked up and said hello guys and they said hello BAM! and knocked him back down like a whack-a-mole
You gotta be careful in a short I get it at the moment of power vision they feel that they have this incredible lead but
We've many a time seen this sort of lead slip away and sometimes those sort of mistakes can be the beginning
Losing your grip on a game like this a power vision as close as they might be to getting the victory
they've got to be careful still oh gee they still bite back hard we're gonna
see them get another kill here as they chase down to carless indeed they're
gonna try and fight here satanic still incredibly strong on to the opus
but he cannot get away from the kez
satanic tears him apart now not see me they know he's here he's got blink up
in a second but nine class in on top of him has the yule set up ice bath on
way back down they'll kill off the Aster on top of it and he is out without buyback 70 seconds
the Aster is dead power vision they could look to be ready to run it down another lane
man this kez is just going crazy they have no answers for him this entire game free lane
great moves great team fights satanic has been everywhere
And now he's only headed to one place and that's your base
How do you slow this push down?
down 27k
Already the set-ups there inside the base. They just dive in kill off Niko
He's gone
The tier three the barracks pulling immediately here to the damage a static on this incredibly farmed cares a
A hero that's you know stonks are definitely rising as this tournament goes on that we saw it what the other day from army a
Different build, you know the battle pure approach popping off these two games with the deser approach absolutely popping off
These kids players are getting pretty good Quinn. Bye. Bye. Bye
Talks almost certainly up and then the throne is going down. What is this damage? Hello?
I'm gonna get the chance to slow this down. I don't know the cataclysm comes out from no one
They will have everyone back in play. They do get the courier. I think the creeps put the courier there of no one
So that's at least a hex out of the play for 35 K lead here for power vision. They've got the mega creeps
og here
Trying their best to hold on into the tournament
But up against the mega creeps and not really with the best measures to deal with them
They are in a tough tough spot
Down at 35 K at 35 minute. Yeah that one care minute rule very rarely gets turned
around that is a staying calling it a tough one would be a gross understatement
after that's that it is a Herculean feet for them to come back from this
position and tire hex on nine class for fresher on DM and almost level 25 on the
Kaz
And they can just wait for Roche. Yep, they're going to that are in the rush
Absolutely not. They want to take this victory as safely as possible paravision
It definitely will and it's the shortest rush spawn of all time. I think it was literally instantly
Yeah, my bin actually yeah
So Paris and they want to wait long
As with this Aegis, I can't imagine what would stop them from heading to OG's base.
What is it going to take to lose this sort of lead?
I mean, you've got to kind of get caught up by some like five-man who stomped into five-man split-earth
and to sort of like, that's to me on the earth, to cleave him through the whole team.
We need five-man Faderbond's five-man who's top-type deal.
That's probably sort of what the 0.1% that OG's got right now to turn this one around.
Let's see if they can find it.
Dias Ancient is under...
As Paravision are ready to close this up.
And he straight over to Wards the Ancient,
land down the Wukong to start off the action.
I mean, as we saw before, if the Kess gets on the Ancient...
What is this Kess?
It's gonna be over.
He's jumped forward.
He will get caught by the Hacks.
But it doesn't matter.
Disruption comes out.
They drop the Golem onto Wards him.
But they can honestly just hit the Ancient,
get themselves on and pull it in the tournament.
And they will...
GG is called!
Paravision move on!
knocking OG out.
Man, after they game one,
Paribas and they got it together, they woke up,
clean up their gameplay, clean up their drafts,
picks a Tannick, a real hero for him.
Yep, and...
My goodness, that is a...
that is a real hero, I guess.
Heads looking insane and perfectly paired up,
honestly, with the Invoker.
I don't think we've necessarily seen the Invoker casting, but
this hero, when he's got this amount of farm
and you pop the Alacrity on him,
it just goes absolutely bananas.
He kills the whole screen instantly, I don't know what I'm watching.
He just hits them 700 times in one second, 15-0s, 6, rank 1.
He was on fire this game.
No, he really was, he really was.
I think, yeah, Paravision, they're going to look at this series and say, much more
of Game 2 and Game 3 strats, much less of what they do, did it, or tried to do in
Game 1.
OG, they've had a great run, but today here against Paravision, it really just
seemed like as the series went on, you know,
whilst Game 1 was a great show for Mochi,
Power Vision, they just seem a bit quicker to adapt
when it comes to how they need to switch up the strategy
in reference to their opponents.
Yeah, I think they just,
they honestly just fell a little behind in this game.
The moves were not quite there.
They lost the lanes when they couldn't.
And this last pick, last track,
it fell short three, five and four at the end of the game.
That is not what you used to want to see
from your last pick, mid-hero.
Absolutely not well.
That's, yeah, end of the road.
Unfortunately for Mochi,
Paravision are moving on and then as I say I think this Kez hero is going to be very hotly contested with some of these teams
Especially because the next matchup for Paravision is going to be up against the stream and you already know
Amé has been eyeballing that hero all throughout the playoffs. We'll see how contested it is
But unfortunately that means the journey ends here for OG an admirable showing for them
But yet again, still kind of hitting their ceiling of top six and not really being able to reach that quite yet
Yeah, I still think they're putting in good performances like even if it's the same placement
I feel like they keep showing me like new things and promising things
I will say that usually it's like Yopad with the two supports, but the last big less with the two supports
It's pretty hard to execute in this game
Especially when like Pari they play super well
They bring like mine class to the rune fights as well, which pushes you back and yet this this birdman hero
It's not okay
It's bullshit this does way too much damage
Notes on Kaz because it's always an essay
These cas fliers go out there. They read it and they're like, yeah, okay
This can do a billion damage as if it didn't already they take a look at calculus one two and three class
And they go to some life. Yeah, if I integrate the necrity plus an echo slayer working like a slash
But Dota is a feeling game, and this just feels like, you know, when you set it during the cast,
like, it just feels like it does too much damage. You just see a Rax dying that quickly and you're like,
no other hero can do this. That's like probably not okay. I know that Buff like is 15 and 20 talent,
I agree with you, they were like 30 other lines, I didn't really read that, but like when you
have those talents and like you just see, like you can tell by just watching, even if you're
I feel like a 2k, 3k player that this this is not normal. This should not be all of your
go to instincts. You're like, what is this wrong? Where are the barracks going? It looks
like it looked like tiny carry peak. Yes, it did with assault. Your ass with overcharge
against building damage with his eggs. Whereas this is just a guy doing raw damage. Yeah,
it's it's it's insane. And I really do believe that in a meta of healing in buffing,
They did a hyper ultra carry who's also strong in the early game like Kez is going to be so unbelievably strong
Yeah, and the degree or so can't even deal with it when it's supposed to be a cow
Yeah, and it's rough sometimes for teams like OG who happened to just be like
Oh, you're the first on the chopping block to be like oh one of the best teams in the tournament said like by the way
This is super broken and we're gonna reveal it against you and moon
You just get knocked out of the tournament because OG did start so strong and they did have cool strategies
And they got to their second layer strategies. This is gyro that got solved and now they're like, okay
Well, what's next up? And then the kids just really put some in the ground and says like, okay, sorry
I'm just the better hero right now
It happens sometimes and satanic in his element as well
It's a mark showing difference from game number one. You know who put him in his element
Of course his position five player. They're wonderful. Dookie. Dook privy at Bratishka
Hi, hi, hi, hello.
Team melodiat, at least a very nice game, very nice.
Thank you.
I got a lot of questions for you, old Dukey Duke.
How are you feeling that everyone is playing these new fun heroes on a new fun patch, and you're just a hero? What's that like?
It's actually not feeling fun, because I think they didn't change much for post-5.
I wanted to play like Triant after they change, like some crazy heroes, you know, Barathrum,
but it feels like it doesn't work yet.
Maybe they need some like Warpatch, like A-patch so I can try them, but now yeah, it's just
feeling not the best.
Like you need to play Jakiro or Warlock Chen, or you most likely losing, like.
Yeah, yeah, we'll see, we'll see.
I'm looking for that letter patch as well.
We saw you talking a lot.
I think it was during that game.
I know you just talk a lot in general to your team.
Like what are you saying to your team when the camera goes on
and of course production puts it right on you
and you're just talking a lot.
Are you like saying, we need to do this in the future.
We need to go take this objective.
Like what sort of calls are you making in these games?
Usually it's like how we want to approach them up.
Like what objectives we need to play.
Like how we should go rush.
But I think that point like Natsumi was out
And we were discussing how we should take rush, like how we should angle around it,
how we should kill and all this stuff.
Cause yeah, I mean, it's fine.
Like my course usually is saying this as well, but sometimes I need to say this.
So you said in, I think it was the video we saw before, the so in an interview
that you want to play less of like a flowchart dota
and you kind of want to play on like making clutch plays instead.
Number one, I think that's a very, very like great way of looking at the game.
But do you feel like you guys did that in the series, where you just played on being clutch?
I think it's more about like, I think before we were stuck on some like areas like we don't go or we don't do,
but now we are more up, you know, open-minded like if we, if enemies give us, we take,
and they should play other side of the map and all the stuff, because yeah, it was, before it was a bit hard,
because I think we played big tournaments like Riyadh and TI and at that tournament it was more pressure on everyone
and holding the areas was much more important and as I said, I think on this video, everyone right now play like,
look OG like top 6, they just play to run and fucking kill you.
They don't care what area you play, they just run, five men and kill you.
So we should be the same. We should not be afraid to run on them and kill them if we feel that we're strong.
So just to make sure I understand, like before you guys were, if the enemy team gave you something,
but in your head you're like, we're not supposed to have this, you wouldn't take the opportunity
before. But now it's like if somebody's gonna fuck up and give you something, you take it.
Yeah, it's more about like if enemies don't stay there, before like we couldn't go in some
areas which enemies are not even there. And this was I think not the best. And yeah, it
It was like giving us handcuffs, in my opinion, but it's fine, we move through it and it's
like good to learn about this.
Maybe it will be ready, it will be there, we will be coming back to this concept, but
I guess not now.
Cool dude, very insightful.
I got Casio with some big brain questions for you here.
What's up to Kha'Zix?
I was wondering in Game 1, did you guys consider putting the Slardar off lane instead
of last picking a mid, or was that not really an option?
Yeah, we thought about this, like everyone knows usually a few picks later you flexed
and we were considering to pick other offline
and overall I think the first game was just kind of sleepy
because I think our draft was good, we just didn't give that much information in early stages
and they just kind of stomped us. Like the first game they took our tier one tower, Abaddon has no game
it was close to the spirit game that we played, upper bracket
The third game we wake up and we accept, let's go guys, and yeah it was pretty much better.
Because second game they don't take our tier 1 tower even they pressure us and second game they don't even touch it.
Okay so you would say it's more of a gameplay thing, game 1 then?
Yeah, I think it's like lack of info, lack of, you know, it was the first game to be true.
I will also watch the first games on the tournaments and sometimes you just sleep and it's not going your way.
Yeah, so you have obviously you have a different coach in puppy. What do you feel like it's the biggest difference?
Or like what is something that you feel like really happy with right now that he's bringing to the team?
I would say it was a nice time to work with the senior and like we won a lot of tournaments
We was having good places, but I think we was stuck a bit and now we
Are more up to discuss a lot on about draft because before we was not doing it
But now we all engaged, you know, like we talked before games, we discussed what heroes we want to play, what we don't want to play.
And like, it's giving, I think, more, like, good energy.
Because I think it was before we sustained as well, just something, like, actually went wrong.
I don't know how to say it, just it went wrong at some point.
And we didn't negotiate to fix it.
And yeah, this happens sometimes.
Oh, it's amazing that it's better.
And overall, yeah, and overall about Pyropey, I'm really happy to know that he's coaching us right now because like two, three years ago he was kind of idle for me, even like when Team Spirit won TI, it was like for me, him, like the best post-fight.
And it's like really fun and nice to work with him.
Yeah, I can fully agree. Amazing. Thanks for the answer.
All right, DoogieDook. Thank you very much for the interview. Very insightful. As usual, love seeing you guys and we'll see you again in the future, I hope.
Yeah, thank you. See you today like at the evening. We play Ana. Yeah, see you then.
Yeah, brother. Confident. Can I wait? I respect that. They do get a little bit of
time to recharge and they get more time to wake up because it does seem like he
is attributing that game one loss to being a little sluggish.
Your gown is so full of paint. I didn't have to talk for like five minutes. I was
kind of cooking my mouth off, but I'm good now.
But yeah, he's he's very happy that he was able to wake up after that
He's like ginger
But not like bread
Yeah, the layers a late it's a late odor
Comes out we now get to return to the upper bracket though
That is the last of our lower bracket series for right now as you heard from because we will return for their match against extreme
At the end of the day
But now we need to figure out who's going into that best of five grand final. Will it be Yandex?
Will it be Spirit? We'll have to find that out after the break.

It's magic, it's a miracle
This holiday's so beautiful
Blowing on, blowing on
It's brand new, it's brand new
Oh
Welcome back to Dream League Season 27. We have a big match coming up. We recently had
a big patch, actually, and some people might be looking at that patch and they might say,
didn't change very much about the pro-man. Well, I have something to show you, actually,
that is going to counter that a little bit. There have been some adjustments in bands
that we've seen out of Yandex. I just did the math for half the teams, but I want to compare
and contrast. These were the heroes that they were banning in just their first phase before
the patch came out. And these are some of the heavy hitters. I mean, the Naga Sarmad is
being banned almost by everybody. There's a lot of Marcy bans, the Pangalir. Well, let's
see how it's switching up in the post-patch bans.
Oh, wow.
Some different heroes, some variety here. I just feel it's easy sometimes to look
at free patch and post-patch and say, ah, it's the same.
But there really is some significant differences
in some of the hero priorities that are changing up the meta.
In fact, since you're here, Aiden, welcome to the panel.
We have some questions.
What's it like to have some of these fixtures of the ban
phase just completely disappear?
Like, does it completely change what your opinions can be?
Because now you have all this room to ban other heroes.
Yeah.
So I feel like usually when you
You have set heroes that you have to ban every single game.
It makes drafting a lot less dynamic and a lot less...
Thank you.
A lot less...
You get a treat.
Ah.
Good work, Purge, on your analysis and your question.
Continue answering.
It just makes that a lot less interesting and you have less options and possibilities.
I think those are off you.
About five?
No, I'm okay.
You have to earn those, Purge.
Earn them with critical analysis.
Things are less choreographed after the first phase.
I mean, you just have more possibilities.
You don't have to ban Naga every single game, because it's too broken.
You actually have the choice of guiding what you want, and I think it makes for more interesting
Dota, right?
It makes it for more personal fare from the teams.
So initially your theory on a post-patch was that first 72 hours are still residual
from the previous patch, and then around day four is when you start to see new
things emerge.
Anecdotally, it seems like the thing that we're starting to see emerge is prevalence
of heal.
Holy Locket seems god tier.
Warlock seems extremely strong.
All these supports that were maybe not as high priority previously are now starting to rise to prominence.
Yeah, we're definitely going to be seeing more of a Holy Locket.
We are seeing the shift already with some Position 5s as well.
We're seeing a good amount of Crystal Maiden, Marana as well coming into the play.
I think Holy Locket is going to be the item.
We're seeing a good amount of the Guardian Greaves as well coming from the other supports as well.
We are seeing this kind of heal being stacked the good amounts of chance still very popular here sandwich. I think I'm good for now
That's what the ginger bread is for right? Oh man
And did we eat the house from yesterday? Did you guys finish the house and ate it?
It is still we we partially took off some of the roof you we will get a closer look at it
But it's mostly intact
Much as how much of oh, but yeah, oh, wow
Wow, look at that.
Don't look at the other side of it.
There's a door on the roof.
This is our best angle?
That's our best angle.
The front three quarters.
That's the one you put on Zillow and say several million dollars please.
And no one buys it for a year.
What is a Zillow?
Zillow is the American like real estate website.
What do you have?
We use Hamnet in Sweden.
Hamnet?
home bully bully bully bully I'm not gonna try
I was gonna say the last one, you're bullying us on this one
I didn't give you a former welcome Lacoste but welcome to the panel, thank you
So we get to see what Yannix is revising did you get a chance to look at how
Spirit have revised their post and pre 7.4 owes I did not okay but I'm sure
It's interesting. I'm sure it's interesting. I'm sure we'll get a chance to look at it in closer detail
I don't know if you have this problem sometimes, but you're doing research and you're like I need to gather this data
But you're not nerdy enough to know how to manipulate the websites give you exactly what you need
So let me make a notepad where you're manually writing. Oh, I love that and you start copying and pasting to group them
It's like it's like oh, this is how I would code this to get a robot to do it if I was good at coding, but I
Sadly, I'm only gonna eating cookies. So I got half the dinner old school
confiscate the basket. He did not get the spirit, Lacoste. Take him away.
I have something else I'd rather do. Just put this puzzle together. I need you guys to help me with this.
Aiden has a theory, Aiden. So we've been told that from Kazoo that you might be included in this photo that we're trying to assemble.
I think he is too.
Okay.
This is, I mean, I thought you guys already have some.
The code that we were given is a memory that found its way back.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I'm pretty sure I know what picture this is.
This is me and Kev's are getting third place at DreamVac Summer 2012.
In June 17th, 2012, we have that.
Exactly. But you know there's another person featured in this picture that you guys will all know.
So the, I'll tell you the ones that he told us. It's you, it's himself, it's a guy called
McDonald's
Someone like
Something QQ less QQ less QQ
Flare this player isn't the XI
Bob XI but he dropped it when he moved over to build up. I see he just became sorry. Is it too close to kids Bob?
I don't know actually. I think I asked him what his name was at some point and he just said like
Like he didn't know what his gamer tag was yeah, I think he just like smashed some letters or something
Okay, we even know what this high is. I
Don't know. I know he used to be on like these like 4chan and these upsides a lot
Oh, wow, like some some deep internet thing. Yeah, he doesn't reveal a pretty edgy for that
I know I'm surprised. Yeah young young's I was a different beast. You know me. What does it say on the box?
There's writing on the box. Yeah, well usually it says something like five to like eight. Oh, yeah
No, then 11 to 15 these guys stupid like what does it take them so long to make this?
Like it's way too long of a time three to ten years. You gotta let it age, you know like a cheese
That makes a real high quality single-piece in yet. No, not yet. Okay. That's what I thought are cracking on it
It's a thousand pieces wait a thousand pieces. Wait, wait, hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Yeah
The lore goes deep lore goes deep this man. I said a long connection to one specific sponsor
What am I looking at it? It's the Alienware logo. Ain't no way nothing makes me happier than Alienware
Have you tried their new pro line keyboard and mouse?
You've not signed a Team Liquid anymore, Ada, and you don't need a shill for them.
I do it out of my love for Alun.
I do it out of my love for DHL.
Every single time that you shill some other sponsor, I have to tell us, thank you DHL.
You know, Tales from the Lorekeeper are coming up.
Hodoink Lore is imminent.
I believe we will be airing it tomorrow.
The trailer has already started airing.
Slacks is immensely excited to show you what he's been cooking up, and we are
I'm immensely excited to show you another series of Dota, Yandex vs Spirit, upper bracket final.
Yandex, hoping to prove that them beating Tundra was not just a revenge fueled peak to glory,
but that they can actually ride the wave. They can continue continuing this, I don't know, good energy, the good juju that they've got.
Yeah, we'll see if they can continue this especially against team like teams to it
I would say that this team is like overperforming with the results. They finished what?
Second or third?
They won playgrounds. Yeah, they won playground one playground two. No, no, they got third at playground two
Really? Yeah, they got third at playground two and they got second at previous blast. I
I believe you well, there's only one way to find out that
Through team liquid pd up to you guys have everything, huh?
Everything oh, you're right. Yeah, they got third my bad falcons
Okay, and then they are like what second third and then they won. They didn't win a single tournament. No, it's happening now
I think against Spirit they're gonna need to pull up like Soxa he's been carrying this team pretty
heavily like he is without Soxa I feel like this team wouldn't be like as not even like close they
would not be getting these places he's been carrying the team pretty heavily and especially
like his Shadow Shaman performance when they were playing against Thundera you know maybe
playing against some of the old teammates gives you that extra bit of oomph that you do need
So it could have been overperforming as well.
Sox had always gave us 100% like the Shadow Shaman when he played the Soledad's items,
Blood Refresher, they ended the game.
Super strong laner.
I think this is going to be very interesting dynamic between two position 4s because some
of their heroes that they do play are kind of overlapping.
Such as Bounty Hunter gets banned out along with the Jekiro, Primal Beast and Slardar
and the Spirit they take out the Wind Ranger, the Nature's Prophet and the Shadow
Demon.
Yeah, I mean I
Mean we talked about socks a lot, but I just want to reiterate like how important I think he is for this team
It's not to say that the other players aren't good, but I feel like
In current day and age Dota having someone has experienced the socks in your position for
It just allows like their whole
Team to come together. I think I think he in many ways is the glue that's making this team work and
That's why like also deserves a lot of the praise when they do well
when things are working because I agree I think they are over performing and I
think this is a battle of David versus Goliath but you know Spirit was also that
team at TI 10 you know like every single series you were like I well this is it
they're now they're facing you know IG now they're facing Secret now they're
facing LGD there's no way and they kept doing it and that's you know the dawn
of a great team in the index but until they prove it of course Spirit are
like the big dogs.
They have to be close, like already twice, a newly formed team, pretty surprised, let's
see if they can continue doing so, but against Spirit, not going to be as easy, Team Spirit,
when they are doing good, this team is like really good.
And so far, they've been on a big win streak as well, they did win last 8 out of 8 games,
so they definitely figured out the new meta as well.
This is a team that has a bit of a mix of old and new, where they are implementing
some of the old stuff, new as well, and Collab's gonna be playing Centaur. I think Collab's had
like two interviews in the last, like we had here at Dream League, at Balakia as well, where he talked
about him not being able to do anything in one of these situations when he's playing Tidehunter,
laning with Naga Saren. So making sure that he's having a good lane, making sure that he can
still do stuff, having a bit of a global presence. He also talked about in one of those
interviews about some of these like Dawnbreaker, Centaur's played from the off lane where you
or just farming, like you're basically being a carry from the off lane,
clicking your ulti, helping your team out globally, and then back to farming.
Really big announcement guys, we just finished.
Ladies and gentlemen, could we get a top-down cam?
We have completed the frame of our...
Oh, Zulokosh right over here.
Well made, yeah.
Check it out.
Yeah, it's just all connected, finally.
Pogeys.
The last piece is a little bit tough.
Do you know what else is Pogeys?
Tell me.
Our hero is Bamp.
I feel like, based on a few games we watched, both me and Lacoste were on the same ones where
there was this like, we said, Versus is very good against Kez, but Jakarra Kez seems to be like
one of those lanes that you just pick and the game is just super rough. And it gives you like a
natural easy pick here on the 13th position, where you next just pick the toss, where you
can pick a core, and usually when you are in that position where you can do that, that's
really really powerful because that means like you found a combo that just works against
anything. So I feel like jikiro for me is like right now a very big enabling part in picking like
any sort of carry that you want in that position and it seems that if people can get kez they will
go for it. So I'm very happy to see that end out and I hope to continue to see it end out for the
rest of the event. Is there a hero that can kind of do the same thing as jikiro? I feel like
slightly worse because... I feel like warlock is the next best thing but I feel like these two
The heroes are not the same amount of pressure.
Like I feel like playing as Jakeru is a lot more...
You're thinned out a lot more than what you can do as a response to it.
Right?
Whereas Warlock is a bit more like, he's annoying, yes, he's a strong laner, yes.
But he's not a Warlock.
He doesn't really have like spells that actively mess with you.
Whereas like, Jakeru just burns you to death.
Warlock will like bond you and then maybe if something's put right or wrong, you'll die.
But it's a lot slower, it's a lot weaker, I think.
And that's why these two heroes are like so high value in the current meta
Next two choices for spirit they're gonna get themselves a viper and a ringmaster big fan of this viper pick just in general
I feel like this hero belongs to this meta. We've seen a different build
So we saw a bit of a hybrid build coming up from the mid lane
The other day when they were playing who would they playing against that part of vision where he went for crimson guard from the mid lane
and then you had DK Offlane who went for a bit of a different build, you know,
Armlet into Blink Dagger, he started to scale as well, but because you're as a Viper, you have
insane amount of magic resistance, then if you build into Crimson, you have physical damage
resistance as well, so you can't die and you're slowing their attack speed, it's very
difficult for them to play, there's gonna be like attack speed slow coming out from the
both sides, one from the attack team, one from the Viper on one, but Viper in general,
I feel like this hero is just too good right now.
Yeah, he's very solid and safe to pick in this phase.
Just being able to break the Ursa during crucial teamfights is really, really effective.
You definitely have some nice guiding potential.
Hurricane Pike ends up being quite useful too if you need it to keep the Ursa away from you.
But he's going to be a very good hero when he gets ganked by Tusk as well.
He can just drop another talks and says,
Okay, try to fight me. I'll try to kill you first.
And sometimes it works out.
So many counters for this center. I feel like every single hero counters the center in a way
We're with like with the shards with the snowball that things very good against. Thank you heroes
You have timber saw so I want to see what?
Yetimization from center is gonna be I think in a lot of these situations
I've seen centers a special DM when he plays against timber
He does to tend to go for BKB just to be able to have that protection against pure damage
Then again, you're playing against Ursa in the lane
Tornado is very effective against Vampitas as well, so a lot of difficult matchups for Centaur.
He likes Crimson Guard.
Just a Crimson, that's it.
Probably will come out.
It's Tusk, Ursa, it's good against, it's not great against Invo, Timber,
but like for example, Pre-Patch, you buy Crimson against Invo, it's getting Tornado off.
But now you don't have that struggle, so...
He did also, I mean, perhaps also mentioned himself in the interview that he thinks like
a lot of the heroes that are good against Centaur are not so good against Crimson Guard.
And while I think Ursa is kind of okay against Crimson, he definitely wants to kill on his
initial round of hits, which Crimson will prevent, so.
It might be against Crimson, might need that extra overpower to be able to kill that tank.
Yeah, so he'll get through it eventually, but it will slow him down.
What I find interesting about what Spirit's done here is, I feel like Yatoro probably
won't play Viper, even though we did see Ami play it, so it's like he's allowed
to.
It doesn't really feel that way, but they're like very much like saying like hey
Here's a viper deal with it here's our centaur deal with it
And Yandex are being allowed to pick like whatever heroes they want into these heroes, which
Traditionally, I feel like spirits a little bit of opposite type of team and drafts
They like to give you what you want and then they have an answer for it
Yeah, and I feel like usually when spirit does the best is when they're allowed to do that kind of setup
I don't think they're quite as sharp when they have to
when they do it this way, but maybe like they figured something out they feel like Viper is just that strong and
when
When we're gonna let collapse have like a slower start
Centaur's the hero that we wanted to have that on. It's strangely because I thought that if they do want to go for this type of
Then dynamic you would do it when you're 24th thick. So I'm showing you everything
I'm showing you four my heroes, but at least my last hero is gonna be my special twist
I mean so when you show Corsair they like this
Yandex also responds with cores, right?
So you get to see a Taurus matchup.
A Taurus knows his carry matchup, he knows his laning matchup,
and he's gonna come in to like, his pick is essentially like a 24th pick.
It is like that full information pick that he's gonna have here.
And he's also covered by saves.
You've got Ringmaster to cover.
They've got Pugna to keep his frontliners tankier.
Or cores.
Yeah, the only thing that might be rough is they don't have very good gank options.
outside of like Viper jumping in or Centaur getting blinked at her so yeah
I feel like for Spirito, Laurel is like always tempo
and sorry we're getting distracted by slacks and
He will find ways to use his Viper
I even asked Collaps in the interview the other day like there was a sick move that they made where they're baiting Collaps on the off lane
and Laurel comes in and Yatora comes in and they clean it up and get a kill on Scythonic and he said that either Pantel or
or Laurel set that up.
Panto seems like an odd one because he wasn't even there.
I'm guessing it's Laurel.
I think he probably talks a lot in the early game
and kinda sets the pace for them.
And we've been talking about Laurel Prime.
He's been playing very, very well with us with that.
So when you find ways to make these slow
and mobile heroes also find Temple,
that's usually, it means you have a really good read
on the game.
You know what's gonna happen.
You can see ahead and find those opportunities.
The Yandex seem concerned about high speed carries that ban out the Weaver and the Kez.
Yeah, like I said, I think Kez seems like if you get a free lane on Kez and you can just run away with it, this hero probably is the strongest carry of the patch right now.
Or at least the strongest hero of the tournament in the carry position.
The rare witch doctor ban.
Yeah, they played it.
Getting what he deserves.
I could feel for Yandex maybe some crystal maiden that can't pop up
I don't know if I like seeing them much against
Those giga tanky heroes personally but we saw CM Earth yesterday and I was like maybe this one time
It will actually be good
It was not good for yeah, I don't think so not against like bring master centaur or something doesn't look like a good time
Yeah, what do we need some BKB person to a lot of them?
If they didn't have Ringmaster, I would say Bane would be pretty good.
So many supports banned, actually.
Yeah, let's see. What does Maladay want to play?
The thing is also, when you're last picked like this as a 5,
you really want to go through the options.
You're thinking about like, can I AA? Can I Phoenix?
Can I pick one of these maybe a little bit higher value heroes than Bane?
Because you feel like if I was going to pick Bane anyway, I would have picked it earlier.
And there it is.
More match-up specific hero
I don't
I'd like it because team spirit doesn't have good jump personally
So it's gonna be hard for them to get to the dazzle dazzle's gonna be able to give armor to his teammates minus armors to his opponents
They'll along get their lives with Greek with the grave. It's not very good in spiky
But against the rest of yours looks good
I feel like yeah grave will definitely be a high values for this game
The only question for me is like are they actually able to kill?
the team spirit heroes. They have one in those spells, which is called Sanctornado to keep
people in place, and you have toxic spells. And there's Stampede, there's a Viper that's
not really dying, there's a Pogna that's going to be healing. I'm a little bit worried
for their lack of control on the other side.
That's a lot of sustain. Two supports with saving abilities, plus you have Life
train and you also do have healing ward so they can play the longer fights.
Well hold on now I know we were being distracted by it but oh we've got a trycast situation here
is that what's happening Slark? Absolutely everybody uh every year I get to cast one game
and they have made the mistake of doing two this year and now we're gonna find out why you
should never do that we are here with OD Pixel and CC and C to cast this game.
Wow, so we had you test out the duo with SVG and Cap, and now we're getting a double feature.
Yeah, that's right.
Well, I guess I'm never gonna give up on this one, and you're never gonna let me down.
Let's get into game number one with Odiepixel Quinn and Splagg.
3 on this gentleman, it's time for the action game one, ladies and gentlemen, we're here
between Berth and Yandex, let's see who's going to be moving on to the grand finals.
I'm here today with Quinn and Slac Trayden, boys.
I'm doing good, how are you, Slac?
I'm so excited to be here for the juggernauts
of this region going head to head here.
Chira Jr., I wanted to cast this guy my entire life.
I've met Chira Sr.
Did you know Chira Jr. is actually a combination
of the genetic material of seven different TI winners
grown in tests?
Absolutely incredible.
This guy is goading.
Who's the sixth one?
We'll find out at the end of this match.
Keep your eyes open and see if you can map his DNA pool as we see if we're gonna get any kind of action here on the runes fees
That's the new crownfall event
find the
They got three of them goodness great look at that and we'll collapse might be dead though
Spanking his booty air on horse action getting the swipes stacked up
Let what's left the last tip there we go first blood for the carrying right all right
The action begins and that's like fantastic. What's your favorite voice with that one?
That's a good one. That's a good one.
Oh, yeah, we make this well what's up playing we're gonna be staying this ring master and
Center both looking fabulous of course, and then you collect the cash. Oh
I guess the dazzler that does will come in as the last pick. I hate this hero. Huh? I think it's insanely bad
All the dazzle fans.
The dazzle fans.
I apologize.
I redacted my statement.
It's now a blank piece of paper.
Okay.
Why don't you like it?
Be real.
Because he doesn't do anything.
He lanes, and then after five minutes of laning becomes a useless grave bot.
He doesn't have any spells.
He's just a sad husk of a man.
That's unfortunate.
Do you like dazzle?
You know what?
Dazzle has his place.
on the other side of my dunking axe. So I do like that part of him, not much else.
Lane is really all this hero has, right? It's kind of like, you know, T'Gonny's career.
The panel is all he has. You can't do anything else.
Huh? That's just a swing and a miss. There's no way you're going to say something like
that. Let's get it. Let's talk about Depper Lane. This is a goddamn censor lane.
Nothing's going on here.
Hey, watch this!
What's that?
Look at the bottom!
Punch you!
There we go.
Look at this.
This is the lane.
The lane?
They're not even laded in the moment.
We just pulled the creeps around.
This is the lane.
This is the one we've been waiting for!
There we go.
So, Tosca and the old timber saw
against the jug and the pugner.
I feel like it's been a few series
where we've not been seeing the pugner,
but he's back here.
Oh, my God.
There he is.
Oh, yo, Quinn!
Quinn?
Now you're on panel, baby!
I'm not on panel.
Foes, I'm on the cast because I'm right!
Goddamn!
The puzzle is dead!
TI went in right here.
No, it's on the panel.
She's mistaken us.
Quinn, did you know that I got the same placement as you with TI?
Yeah, but I got it twice, so hold that elbow low.
You lost that one.
Sorry about that one.
I'm at the can.
You best have two losses, not one.
All right, so who wins this lane? Timbersaw versus Juggerna. Obviously Timbersaw, yeah.
This farm trade mostly because he's got the Bugna, and Bugna is really strong laner.
That Tusk is...
EHH!
The Bugna, I never heard that.
I mean, B is just the best content. If you replace any content with B, the word
is dead.
Cool.
Oh, I see them.
Ah, they're not going to fly to the lights this year.
Sucks up.
We'll be able to pick that up there for the two of them.
Now perhaps we should discuss the mid lane as we do have the world's greatest mid.
Let's check out the tier of Goat year.
Whoa!
The bottom tier of Goat!
That's Lala Jr.
Daddy's not going to like that when you get home.
Here comes the belt for tier of junior.
15 and 6 at the moment on Lala against the 12 and 3 on the Invoker.
So Lala having that.
We're going to win at the moment in this matchup.
Is something going to get easier for tier of junior?
It's gone for the cross-pwex, not something we've seen very much because it's not
very good. Oh, why is that? Because they nerfed all the Universal Heroes damage, so he just
doesn't hit hard enough, and Claw Swax is a lot about hitting. It's hard to actually
get items because you have no farming mechanism, and that when you lose the lane like this
on top of that, it is a muy problema. I see. I mean I guess, would you say one of the
reasons why he has gone for it over the Exor is that they don't have a crazy amount
of setup as a team for kind of these big cataclysm plays? I think it also suits
It was better like they kind of want some catch and disable with like the bear and never saw they're kind of the dammit bros
They want to they want a little stunning bear up now
What do you think would be a bokeh slimes? I genuinely have no idea what he does. I mean, I know how to kill him
What's wax who cares man die, but pretty cool water room
That tax
No
Now they have to get the job done never bought some the hillbumb off on towards root
I'm surprised this top lane is I mean I I guess it's Ursa favorite it makes sense
this here was very very strong see a lot of teams first-phase banished
kentaur not very good against the bear it's a classic counter yeah I do need to
use the actual hero names okay no what did I say you said kentaur okay but
Like that one should be you should get that one.
I can't. It's very difficult for the audience to follow along with your pro player, you know, idiots.
Replacing one content with the other.
Twitch chat is unbelievably stupid.
Oh man, Chantar, what are these heroes?
POST BUDDLE!
There's a bug in this game.
Oh, nice little dodge there at the web, but it doesn't mean that they still have the space that they can't turn and get back in it with you.
Uh, sir?
On Net worth though he's kind of doing pretty chill mid and this match was really bad for Viper in the game
Yeah, like you hate getting your mana burned and invokers a hero that you don't really do anything to like you can't right-click him
He doesn't care about your attack speed slow because he's ranged and he kethu definitely blast EMP ice wall
All he's like four styles that are really good against you
What was that? That was a nice deny. Oh, that we got look at that when you're a bad as good as I am a deny is as
Cos... Cos for excitement.
There we go. No mana as you said right there.
Incredible job.
I've heard about time for a spelling lesson.
Still got a manga there for any sort of surprise plays.
Ones himself and mother needs to get those stacks out.
Gorgeous skin by the pugna.
They're looking for the stacks, my friends.
This is why you should never stack at home.
If they find it and steal it, mental damage is out of control.
Do not stack.
ever. That's cheap. Chira Junior's dead.
Everybody is growing up.
You got the belt many times for stacking.
Don't stack at my house. Thanksgiving is cancelled.
And so we go. Looking for somebody.
Oh, Panto's in trouble. Chira Junior's got him.
Or does he?
Yeah. Well that's one of the shortest TP attempts I've seen.
Immediately put to a stop. Panto's gonna look for the deny to the neutral.
Chiro Junior gets the last hit in senior will be proud of that mm-hmm and it's
seven minutes what the wisdom fight can he get in the wisdom they keep the
wisdoms they've collapsed will die but the only such coming in the grave the
TV is he getting out coming in clutch with the saves to get what's it out
Damn, Yandex came to play today.
These guys are ready to take down the kings, the gods!
Yeah, these teams have a lot of practice against each other, right?
The Yandexers, you know?
Spandex, yeah, I think they've had their fair share of spirit.
Hell yeah! Spandex, keep it tight, baby!
And that's their team motto.
They haven't hanging on the wall.
You know, like football teams, they like tap the sign when they go into the field.
That's like that. Keep it tight.
There's no way!
This is some back locker room talk here, but did you know that everyone on this team does play with spandex hot?
That's true. I did know that you did know that yeah, so part of the lore guys
They did it on the on the last team with me, too
I just thought they were like this is what we do. Hey, that's thank you so much for that guys
That's everybody really wanted to see that as we see in the middle
I'm not the vibe of loss and trouble they get the setup
No, it's just ready to join the play with the burst of the shotcrumbs.
What are you doing?
They're all down.
They're playing faster, which is why 8 minutes in.
Yandex getting a 2k lead here, 5-1.
It's looking pretty good this early game.
They're keeping it tight as, uh...
We can't give a thing, mister.
We gotta say something else.
You can't say that.
You can't say that they're keeping it tight like that.
Did you see that, Jude?
That was sick, dude.
Yeah.
You know?
No.
Trying to tame the bear with the whip, not happening here.
Okay, wrong circus.
Whipples.
Thank you so much, Quinn.
You really do add a lot.
Thank you.
We go down.
That's what Shira Junior said to,
or Senior said to, I don't remember mine.
That's really good, Quinn.
Keep it tight, keep it tight, keep it tight.
Let's keep it tight, all right?
From Shira Junior, I mean,
are they gonna bring anyone over
to watch this mid lane spirit?
Or are they just sort of gonna let this tail
one go down?
I, it's not like Spirit the Eve of the Mid Tower.
They're big, hold your area defenders,
but Viper, so far this game has been kind of exposed.
Had a good early lane.
But the goat himself, Junior Man, he's picking it to him.
A bit of a controversial one on the internet at the moment.
Thoughts on the weighted dice. I'm seeing spirit players that are taking it.
I'm seeing a lot of people online saying you shouldn't.
What's the... why shouldn't you?
Because the maths works out that it's only like one or two extra damage
and I've probably had a hundred bonus gold by the time Tier 2 has come around.
Every little bit helped. Maybe you can feel like you're really lucky.
I think that's not how the mass works, even if you're really lucky it's still probably about 2 plus damage it works ours.
Yathro, no trouble, why would anyone come?
He doesn't care, he's telling them don't come, he's like these guys can't kill me, I handle them on my own and he's right, I can't touch him.
He keeps it chill and he makes sure the team does not panic TP, he is under no threat.
Absolutely gigachat down there, well done.
Yathro Juggernaut has not lost a single game yet by the way if you don't know how statistics work.
Not a single one!
How do they work?
I don't know, ask Nahaz. He ain't here though.
Statistics are not real.
Let's continue.
But they don't lie.
True.
Right. Here we go.
A lot of sticks are about to be popping off here, fam.
Well, this town's in trouble there.
Let's go around.
Joe Jr. should be able to get away with finishing the push.
Kind of malady.
I'm not so trying to mess around inside of the jungle, oh he's a spirit, I was game
lead continuously from the undead, spirit, I mean what's the other plan from them,
they sort of just got to sit back and kind of just secure space for the jug to farm or
can we see them sort of group up and try and fight back.
They got some really slow clunks, like they don't have any kill for it, what are they
going to do, Centaur, he's farming, Viper, he's farming, Jug, he's farming.
Is that good?
Oh look at, oh my god, look at all the people down at Jug, they are looking at the
for the last samurai. Oh no there are so many people down there. 1, 2, 3, 4 people down there.
Maybe 5. That's a lot. I'm not as a lot. They gone for the smoke spirit.
We'll see what they have with it. Okay.
What's on the left? Is this like the super stack happening in the triangle right here?
Yeah, I think this might be a stack smoke. Oh, you're right, yeah. Not a stack smoke.
Smoke stack. God damn. Is this the Epstein files? I can't see shit.
That's what the creeps are saying they tried to read them to
Keep it tight
Moving over the warts the mid now
They've got the bots on the Viper, so I was ready to TP over if there's any sort of pressure upon to him
Churchity is close to the Aghanins, so we're going to see quite an early one of those.
I mean, how does he sort of rate the Wex Aghanins at this timing point?
How annoying is it going to be for Spirit?
I think this item is more of a farming tool than it is anything else.
Makai is just so you can tornado the wave and they actually die, because otherwise
you have to tornado it and right click it like 33 times before anything happens.
So my guess is that's why he took it.
He wants to buy BWX and then acts as like, so we can actually play it.
Thank you for that.
I had no idea what that does.
That's a lot of tech.
Oh, key-doki!
Tornado!
Makes smaller twisters.
Good to know.
As we continue on.
Down here, there is a man farming a Centaur.
Thank you.
Good.
What's Centaur's lore?
Yeah.
Which one?
The Hero or the...
The Jungle?
They're, they're...
Of course the, what?
Of course the creep Lord.
What's the creep Lord?
Forbidden for me to speak of.
Is forbidden?
Yeah, I can't speak.
Who forbitted?
It's too dark.
Too dark to discuss.
Too dark.
You can talk about the Epstein bottle.
Now that was more dark than we know it.
Hey!
Not fair enough.
Ratatata!
Keep it tight.
Ladies and gentlemen at home,
Yandex fans,
pull em up!
As we get ready for this,
Very interesting game where everyone is farming out of their minds.
It's slowed down.
Yeah, it's slowed down.
40 minutes coming up, it's just 5 to 1.
You know, Yandex, they're going to be pretty happy with this lead.
But Yatoro's definitely going to be telling the boys in spirit that he's got this.
You know, he's hitting his time, it's easy dodging the tornado.
Yatoro's getting that farm over.
See, top lane spirit, trying to put on a bit of pressure.
Malady's going to TP in.
He's going to have further backup coming in, but the control's there.
Pushed back into the wheel of wonder.
Malady dying as quickly as he turned up to that team fight.
I'm not really much of a team fighter, so nobody else wanted to try and come in and be a part of that one.
They're gonna have to let Steelwind Tower go this for it.
I'll take the Tower down.
Little bit of a flip seat.
I mean, one big flaw of Yan-Max's draft is none of the three cores are really starters,
so it's gonna require Ursa getting online and him being the starter,
but he's playing his Viper, he's gonna get spat on.
They've got his Vampide to kite, so it is gonna be a farming game,
because neither team really have great tools of doing stuff so it's going to be a
carry showdown yeah there's nothing he can do I'm just gonna call it here I mean
who can do the yandex a Ursa I mean he's going against the classic combo of
pugnip viper there's nothing like that wait now you got it wrong pugnip viper
excuse me thank you there is no way to defeat pugnip viper as an earth you go
So in, decrep. You do damage, suck. You do other things, viper. It's unbreachable, Queen.
Amen.
Amen, he says. Gracious. That was... I got nowhere else to go with that. Oh no.
You're gonna correct me. Is this a good combo? The double green? The green machine?
Generally, you can only... you can't too much green, because green has similar strength and similar weakness.
That's true.
Oh, uh-oh, spirit.
They're on the hunt, they get the job straight in!
They get the Omnion, who's jumping in the whip of the Wheel of Wonder?
They've managed to catch, she's injured, but the Grave comes in.
He's gonna go up to the TP out, there's nothing to stop him TPing away.
He gets away completely from the play, again thanks to Malady coming in clutch with the Grave.
Dude, these guys are good. They remember that TP exists, and they only have one real stun on Spirit,
and they are using that. That is an incredible power.
I've never seen anything like it in my life. They pressed that button.
That was very talented. His dad taught him that.
One of the first things he learned.
That ringmaster whip is not the first one he received.
Oh my god.
What's something your father taught you, Owen?
Oh!
Hey, good luck! I don't know!
I don't have any specific lessons, you know.
Not one? Not a single lesson?
Well, I used to be a general being a good person, I don't know.
General a general?
What's rule one on being a good lad?
Yeah, well you're a good guy.
You've never had a single controversy in your entire career.
You wanna start now?
Yeah, you got any ideas?
Look at Bill went out.
I think I'll pass.
Thanks for the help today.
Trying to bring him down to our level.
It's a hard sell for me
That's this that's Flanks is hard so I don't want to hear his thoughts
Yeah
Well, it's keeping up. Yeah, it's still very much a game where I think the Torah is kind of chilling
He's like guys. This is fine. He's getting his timings. They get to be able to find the juggernaut
Oh, no, oh, but they'll find the pug now
Pugna needs his best friend Viper to help him.
Pugna Viper!
Pugna, Pugna Viper!
No, he did not come.
Where was the Viper?
He didn't care!
He hasn't got his axe yet.
When he has the Aghan, he'll be ready to turn up and do the little thing song with the Pugna.
Fantastic.
Then we'll go with the Pugna Viper moments.
Alright, alright.
Until that point, he's not interested.
Once you get the Aghan, let's finish.
Better get interested quick.
These towers are starting to get some damage on them.
There they are.
Roshan could be something as well that they look to Wall Street and Yandex for disaster.
Spear might be angling for it as well. Is there a mega clump around that area?
Oh, mega clump. Something that Team Spear and X is aware of as well.
It's alright.
On the tornado.
Needs the ball's pin-off.
Malak is completely aggressive there.
With this attempt to play the Omni Slash.
Omni Slash, since you're gonna be put to a stop in front of the shallow grave comes in, your Taurus is gonna start backing away, the wheel of wonder laid down and collapsed into the hoost up onto the two supports.
On the backlines of the fight, that's gonna be Malady gone.
Dang.
That was a hell of a bunch of skills and only Dazzle died. How, uh, good. I thought that'd be really cool, but only one Dazzle died. Who cares about that?
He did just walk in and say, Omni me, and your Taurus said, okay. Yeah, he went for it then, Malady.
He was trying to stop the fight off himself with the ultimate.
Also, look at your Toro's skill build, the all-1-1-4 stat.
Is that good?
Oh, I love that.
I mean, he did it because he's against Timber, so spin doesn't really work on Timber-Saw
because he chains away.
Honestly, if you wanted to go for the really cool build, you don't put point in healing wars.
That's bad.
A lot of my friends watching, you know, in the pubs, they'll understand.
You know, you're not a support, you're a carry!
Dang!
Who wants to point in a spell that says healing?
Hell, yeah!
I mean, that's kind of based.
Start with that at home, kids.
Please.
But don't stack!
Don't stack!
You stacked cheer at Junior, I swear to God!
He has a lovely father though, I've met him, uh, cherished in here.
Very cool guy.
Alright, well, what frogs are gonna get annihilated here?
Close your eyes.
Frog lovers.
Collapse.
They need to make the neutral frogs cuter, like the heckin'
Largo frogs are so cute!
They're not the ones cute, aren't they?
Oh, the foglets are cute, that's cute.
Different species, Quinn.
Okay, those ones are from the traveling the island that comes as they so put it in the lore sisterhood of traveling past
Nice jump there from Rick gets out of the Sun strike
That is like a book or movie or something right what the sisterhood of the traveling pants. Yeah, absolutely Quinn
Just I can't tell you being serious. I think it is of course it is okay
There's a lot of books out there.
The lore is that each one of the ladies puts on the pants and they have an adventure in
the pants.
And this is not a weird movie, it's a completely normal, it's like a coming-of-age story for
women.
That's what I thought.
One went to Rome.
Rome.
I love Rome.
That's great.
I feel the Coliseum's are.
And Mac is a...
Mac is a...
Oh no!
Bacca!
Oh, he had his VIP with him!
Bacca Bacca!
Oh, he had his Viper with him!
F*** the Viper!
F*** the Viper's not working out this time. Lars got to jump away.
So they can chase them.
Uh-oh, carry fight!
The baby tornado!
That's a good tornado, and indeed at the side Watson just gets destroyed by a Toro coming in with the damage.
I mean, Team Spirit, they can try and push them for more here.
Young Decks have got to be careful without their carry.
They're going to go for the TPL here on the two of them in the tree.
Oh!
The web comes in, Rune puts us up to church in his escape, and Colapsus is blocking off No-Test.
still trying to change away the notices out of matter he'll fall you might be
okay your junior can get away another tornado to hold back route little too
slippery can they read his position this down a hit so who's dumb doesn't what was
that he panicked war but he might still have him
leather wards down they've got the decrepit fire and the life trainer
trying to have a destiny blast but the pugna ward will do the job they
bring to a junior down spirit striking back and taking away that leave the
Andex have built up in the first 20 minutes are you winning some no not anymore
That was crazy in case you are too dumb to see the pip in the bottom right
Juggernaut also killed the Ursa. Yeah, no collapse sort of I was just him on
Hey, I think you got back up right you're so he did your tarot show me the backup here. We got check this back up
HEEEHEH
Watson you can't be- you can't be letting it loose like that, you gotta keep it tight.
Yeah, come on dude, let's keep spandex, keep this shit tight.
Can't be backing that up in the athero.
I'm the game's pretty tight here.
Yeah, it's just- that's the one-k-go difference between them.
Is that your favorite 10-homes-of-the-top-dash-slacks?
I'll let you have that-
OOOOOOOOH!
PAUSE! PAUSE! PAUSE!
OOOOOH!
Yo, we're like the fans, definitely.
If they pause right now and they just all chat at six seven is that do we find them?
No, I think we get more of the price
They get a multiplier. Yeah
That's a good might as well. Oh, they might go for stealing not nobody get the jump himself
And collapse the master of stealing did not do it this time. What seems good to you just
Find out some of the heels. Do you think he's a club to maniac in real life?
What a guy.
Who collapsed?
He's the master of stealing.
Genuinely, yes.
Yes, and there's one personality that I could do a clip though.
He's just a multi-millionaire just walking in the grocery store, just stealing gum.
Yeah, I've done a psychological profile on a lot of programs.
Okay, he's going to be fine now.
I'm coming.
I'm coming back off.
Okay, real talk.
If you thought that one if there's a newspaper that came out and said don't a two player found to be serial killer
Who do you think would be on that like if you just had it?
Who would you not be surprised to look down and it says this guy?
I'm not
No one's watching I'm not I don't know them well enough. I think you don't I think you did psychological profiles
I'm not gonna shot in the dark this go ahead Owen. Okay, that was your chance
Oh, let's work on getting you to your first controversy here
Okay for talent. All right, no one cares about that
Avery Avery that is a good choice. Avery is definitely a great choice
All right
Now we know now, you know ladies and gentlemen look for the signs as we see an invasion on the
The high ground try, the turret's nearly got the full butterfly on line.
That's the Juggernaut which is going to be pretty brutal.
He's fucking me out.
Oh no, sorry, no, he's sticking around.
Oh?
Look at the jump on him.
It's a good box coming in to bail him out as well as the sappy.
But they get the punch,
the willow one is going to get laid down.
His flight to the side is still alive,
but it doesn't matter.
They get him with the final burst.
Notice.
Finishes him off.
They've killed the Jug.
Can they get anything more?
TP out from collapse.
He's away.
There's no plugness coming down Viper.
Let's see if they can do something here.
Pugna Viper!
Pugna Pugna Viper!
He didn't want Pugna's gun.
Viper trying to jump away.
He'll live at least.
He's getting on the base.
He's diving in.
He feels obviously pretty invincible with the agnems and the fact that he's got a dazzle backing him up.
When we're seeing it here, they can barely touch the Timber Store now.
Damn.
Cheer of Junior on the mic.
Screaming at notice.
You're too far, stepbrother.
Back up!
That isn't a washing machine.
What?
That was huge. Rare mistake from Yatoro.
Now, 1-1-1, storyline.
He's been farming all game. When you farm all game, you gotta win these fights.
It's stuck in the shards, socks, and goat.
Oh, it's your favorite number again at the top slacks.
Oh, hey!
The first one was from the Zoomers, and this one's for the Boomers.
Ladies and gentlemen, an all-inclusive cast.
That's right.
We got a little something for every age group.
So what are we going to do for the old people?
The old people?
You mean 90% of the Dota community?
If you're more than 35, please type in chat.
Where am I?
That's a good old meme, that one.
All right.
What's the emote call?
It's the fear one.
I don't remember.
Whatever.
for your most. They'll have it in Chas. Level 19 on Juggernaut! He's huge! He really is,
as I say, throughout all the kind of these moves, of course he got caught that one time
down in that last fight, but over the nights keeping up with the farm of Watson's Ursa.
Ready to give him a pretty good battle down the line. Overall, Yandex still have this little
bit of a lead. There's the butterfly out and ready for the next fight. See how much more
they go forward with this Aegis coming up towards the end in fact just one minute left to the Aegis on
Watson. The Aegis power play! It's dangerous! Spirit gonna try and fight into the sort of the
Aegis expiry. They're beating the Samurai! Look! Oh Chirojune! He's walking right down the middle
unsmoked! Gazzle's behind him though. Yes Malady's gonna be ready with the same. So Yattora
will show himself looks like Yandex I'm gonna fall for this one. See if spirit can find another
way to make the jump. I'm surprised that the Enix don't want to fight right now. They have NKB on
Earth and they're still at Aegis but they're still dodging. I'm confused. They've never been
scared in your life? Nope. Cool. Look out! Get the opening! Do they have the damage? They'll
come up with a break. It's a lot and it's more than enough with the four of them. Notice
it's taken down. That's quite the kill for them to find their spirit. They'll be happy
with that one. Yeah they ate him alive. I didn't expect him to die so fast. We don't see many
people buying the eggs this early and I'm a bit surprised that he does. It's kind of like he just
bought a Yule's on Centaur and his two-point whatever the heck K-Gold just killed your eggs like it
doesn't exist anymore. So now he's my BKB afterward anyway. The items when paired together are good
because you can't purge the eggs anymore but still. Optic for that over Shiva's a bit peculiar.
What is this?
They're smoking up now after the ages.
Hour play has ended.
Could it be?
Oh, they want the shrine now.
They want the sweet little shrine.
I mean, TPs are coming in.
Oh, jeez.
So we might see Spirit try and fight this.
Not the low ground shrine!
Okay, Spirit's going to be able to get it,
but they'll get the jump now on towards collapse there.
And they're going straight for the centaur.
I guess they're sort of assuming
that maybe some more Spirit
are going to be coming in from the high ground angle around there.
So I just wanted to clear that route,
so stop any backup coming in.
It's a big kill.
And they have control of the gate so they can keep bouncing back and forth in spirit, very
clumped up around mid.
Mm-hmm.
Absolutely.
What's your favorite breakfast food, Slacks?
Oh, that is a great question.
I do like fruity pebbles and popparts mixed together back in my old days.
That's all Slacks Seeger would allow me to have, or no home cooked meals, just
what we can take from the local 7-Eleven
as children.
Good.
Haha!
Thanks, man!
Nice segway here, but I'm eating up this game, baby, because it is delicious!
As now we see circles being drawn on the minimap there.
A awful circle.
That's a guy who's been muted in game for the last nine months.
I gotta say, your artwork means a lot of help on that minimap.
You give us some pointers?
Absolutely.
You know, get a drawing tablet.
You don't want to get reported in-game, get a draw tablet and have a monitor just be your minimap and you can just write a little assay in there.
Well, then no church units about.
That found him sneaking around underneath this century wall. They destroyed him, Boca.
Getting a little too cheeky there with his placement. Didn't expect them to have that detection down.
Fanna just unnecessary. He's killing the wave by their 2-2. He can just go back and farm the camps, wait for the wave to come in. Very unnecessary, dad.
Looks like a gathering down at the bottom lane here. Maybe a tower push could have been.
No, let the creeps leave. Shameful of you.
Shameful of you to even consider they would hit the tower.
Really?
It's coming up to the time of the tull mention now.
This thing?
Yeah.
Okay, here we go.
Dude, it's called the top chasm.
Yeah, the top chasm.
I don't think a valve guy knows what a chasm is.
Look at me.
The air is not a chasm, but it comes out of a chasm.
That is not a chasm.
Yeah, this is a deep hole.
That is a circle.
That is not a chasm.
Okay?
What is it?
I also feel like chasms need to be bigger.
Huh?
You don't know the scale.
Do we know the scale of Dota Heroes? Couldn't these all be like massive kind of behemoths?
No, Yandex got a tight chasm up there.
Held it to ge- Oh no, they're about to walk up here!
Oh no!
Oh, that was quick from Watson!
Yo, this guy's cheating. I'm not gonna mess with him.
Major play!
I'm not gonna mess with him.
Baking and state accusations.
Check him, fingers.
Check this guy's PC.
They're ready to fight this. They're gonna be able to get the turn around.
Ooh, the stoops!
The shot caught them here quite awkwardly in the shards.
Pug this guy and he's gone!
Malady, we'll get the grave off on himself. Yatora will go for the Omni-Stash, but up in the air, bounces the Ursa and Watson,
ready to turn and start getting his white-stacked up on Yatora, sacks that shard so that it'll block off Yatora.
Watson's able to jump in, finish off Yatora, collapse and try to get back in.
Will manage to at least bring down the Ursa, but it cost collapse his life. They're just down to Pugna Viper!
Pugna Viper! Pugna Viper! Pugna Viper!
Now it's just Viper!
And he's got no mana, getting Tacharum Kited. Man, Saksa is just too good.
And those shards were completely destroying Spirit in that last fight.
Excellent shards.
I just think I've seen Jug die not engulfing Shards this game.
I think it's every single death. It's absolutely amazing.
And that was... I guess it didn't matter because the Earth was enraged,
but it looks a little awkward obviously because the Omni-Slasher's come out into the Earth,
but at the same time someone will say Yul's the Earth, sir.
Yeah.
But I think it didn't really mod up because of the osmotic
Goddamn!
You should probably not be pitting that
How's he was he?
That is not good for the mental of the team
Banner needs to be picked up and I know he's actually good now
Yep
Can I go on it?
Oh yeah, is it like as you kill more roaches that I don't actually become geek yet
Yeah
Very powerful
I still attest that I think two banners should become a standard
That goes on a hero's back
Wouldn't that be cool. I'll be so broken. What do you mean?
Just acts as a little you have to hit them like three times like a better word that a whole thing. Oh
I was using what you can still attack it even though it's on a hill. Yeah
Three damage block, you know
Very right that one down write it down stop leaking notes. I'm ice frog right that one down
I know you're listening, huh?
We continue now
For the Axe Untux, a big pick up's coming out now.
Chirogine is nearly got his Octarin as well.
Over on the side is Spirit, Toro, trying to get that Dispersed to done.
Still need a bit more time before he's able to get that picked up.
Stay pretty close across the board, overall sure that 7k advantage, 6k.
Now pulling through around here from Yandex.
He might seem a tendency, but we have seen how Spirit can easily take that goal,
looking back in their way in these fights.
It's a close game.
33 minutes in and you're tore in that top spot on the network
and they're not afraid, spirit.
You know, that may be the stages on Yandex.
The spirit, they're the ones smoking up and looking to make a play.
I think the shocker's cancel was blinked, that was insane.
That was so lucky.
Maybe they should be afraid.
I have not seen what other initiations go off very well so far.
Disengage that smoke, still making the out throw some room here.
room here. The guy's still level 21, he's still cooking top that work as well.
Yeah, Yatora is the size. He's managed to be for that solid rock throughout the game
so far for Spirit. See if it's going to be enough against Yandex as a team.
I think one of the difference makers is Centaur in a lot of the games we see this hero scale
really well is where he's just invincible. He's globs in the middle, no one can touch
him, but he's against Timbersaw Ursa this game. He will not be unkillable. See, he's
He's got E-blade chewed up, he's got a ULT, this is like a kiting in and out centaur.
Very different style from Mr. Chalapse.
Oh, here we go.
Saksa, it's gonna start the play and get the kick back.
And the last two are Junio.
The cold snap, Chalapse is gonna put the stampede, but they've got to control their shots are down.
There's nowhere for Chalapse to run.
As Yandex handling very nicely there, just so much control there now from the team.
It's very difficult for Spirit if they get caught in these situations, especially if it's their center getting gone on at the start.
And Voker with bots, octurine, ghostbox, he is everywhere.
Clip from here.
Oh, replay now.
Now we'll see again.
Once the profile of that agonist pick up the sacks that was just able to grab.
There's no way for him to get out of the moment until he has that BKB very close.
close as you say to boards having that vkb was just a couple hundred gold off from having it done
collapse oh no he's crashing restrictions that you're themselves instead of the trust he misplaced
oh really they gotta kick this guy somebody's gotta stop this guy
let's go get player in history one of them i would say i'm rare the next month
Quinn Callahan.
Is this being collapsed?
You won't collapse on the same tier in my book.
I see.
Your book is not a book that made people own.
Man, it's a flip-flop. It's a picture book.
Not a complicated book.
Alright.
Notice pushing out those waves.
Where's the most go-to player in history, in your opinion, Quinn?
I mean, excuse me, not Quinn.
That's good.
Oh my god, they got him the bastard's come in
Speaking of goats miracle without died there
Okay, here we go pug nut
You get kids get the stuff turn around suck them. You're not making it out of this bug. Let's just fight back. Where's my bird?
There is fire ever
No, it's that.
OK, I'm actually starting to get a little tilted by this Yatoro thing.
I mean, the guy is just farming like crazy.
He's just dying.
He's not dying.
He's only died, but three times.
That's three too many for this amount of farm.
I'm mad about it.
I mean, Watson has definitely had his number the last couple
of times on the Cersei.
And he built fully-aligned with 10 KB done.
The butterfly don't do as much now.
For your thorough if
Boston can get the jump on him and he has managed to find that the last couple of plays now
Yandex there with the push. Oh my god
This timbersaw is a problem
4000 HP. I don't know how you kill this guy genuinely his lotus octane be that a control
What can they do still 20 seconds without you throw her on the juggernaut?
Yandex taking the barracks
Oh no.
Leave the poogie out of this. The poogie's so scared.
Oh my god! They get the kickback! They've caught the Viper! The Stampe will come out and let Liles get back to safety.
The drag back onto collapse with the BKBs at the ready. Will have won the down melody. We'll off off the grave to try and stay Saksa.
The heal's coming in as well. Saksa's still alive. They're ready to jump in. Detour is gonna move forward.
He's still got the Omni Slash ready to go. Stimby finds a good target to do it. They're ready for the Lotus!
Over the Lotus! It's there!
Puts the stuff to the Omni Slash!
And now Yatoru's gonna back up with the Blade Fury!
Bi-Bak's gonna come in from Saxa!
As Yandex know that Spirit have to use quite a bit there to push them back.
And Spirit couldn't really get the big kills!
Yandex, there's nothing about getting back in!
Another kick back from Saxa here!
Jumped off from Watson and cleaned up collapse!
He's dead for a minute!
Yatoru tries to pull his notice, but notice he's got the protection of the Agonyms!
They can't kill the Timbersaw!
He is perfectly fine.
Yandex coming in with these outplays around the teamfights and Saksa getting some massive work done here with the Aghanim's pick up yet again.
And that was a clutch lotus.
But no Omni Slash.
I don't know if they can hold this.
They're just looking pretty soft here.
Man, Saksa is absolutely destroying them on this cost.
Here we go. The little guys hitting the tower, nice glyph, mid lane, also pushing, creep hitting buildings.
Still 20 seconds without collapse.
He's here, he gets the kickback on, it was the vibrant again, the low system there to stop the switch flash.
That's going to be laldead. He does have buyback available.
See if he opts to use it here as they will start to lose another set of barracks here in the mid.
in the mid, Yandex pushing on.
What can they do?
The answer, nothing.
Oh my God!
Spandex, they're the new kings in town.
God damn!
There we go.
They're trying to throw everything again
on towards the Timbersaw,
but notice he's just walking the stuff.
Lali's outside of the base.
Lari.
He's trying to start the action.
Wolf Force, BKB to come out from Watson.
So Yandex though,
will give a little bit of respect here
to the playback from Lari.
They start to back away,
but the stampede's there for collapse.
He's ready to chase them down.
They'll take out the Dazzle.
Can they get anything more though?
The rest of Yandex seems like they'll be able to escape pretty easily.
The damage is done though, Yandex.
They go up and they want it from the base.
Question now, if Spirit can try and find something in this sort of minute and a half
where there is no Dazzle, it's looking difficult though.
It's getting a tougher and tougher game for Spirit to try and pull back now.
They gotta get something else besides this Dazzle.
I mean, getting the Dizzler dead don't do much.
much I have to say double damage on the little
cluster no way you go into that I mean that's the
off road and look at it it's all right there's no way that they would do it
they got a hat they can they won't do it guys they didn't do it that was play
was in a dangerous spot that absolutely cheers you and he gets the setup
so much going down like Odie picks on this cast very dangerous spot for his
I mean, they need to fight something big with this one.
Absolutely.
God damn.
They need something.
It's time to start getting in the big book of like a last minute, you know, crazy strats
here.
Like what?
What you got in mind?
God damn it.
They could, Juggernaut, they could put him in the cart with Centaur.
They could do the mobile, the drive-by suck.
They could do the drive-by suck.
Well, he's not going for the acronym since then.
Yeah, he should.
I'm gonna put the ward down, send our grabs and put them in the cart, they go in circles
and he sucks the ward, team wipe, team wipe.
That's some good tech.
There we go.
Is this a good idea, Oly Pixel?
I mean they're gonna take the risk right?
They're gonna take the riskier spirit, see if they can get that jump on Yandex.
Rosh is up.
They've hit the scan.
Okay.
Spirit, they've got a little bit of information to work with.
Who are they gonna find first?
Sparks gonna just battle collapse. He's gonna find Saksa.
So they can quickly get rid of him.
Oh, the Lotus is there again, and he's gonna be able to get the spell for the Visex.
They turn, they get the hex.
Tenon on the top of Yatoro.
That's the Juggernaut.
Tenon gone for a minute and a half.
Yandex, they were ready to return, and now chase down Team Spirit.
Spirit without the carry, not a lot of left.
It is over. TG is called Yandex.
Looking very good in this game.
one spirit they just couldn't work that way back into it absolutely that was
absolutely nuts I mean there's a reason that the tusk stars are shaped like that
because that was dick in the after all absolutely destroyed by that toss yes
Saksa had an incredible game and the perfect game readers welcome to go
immediately for this what this blink ax yeah the jet-backs completely
destroyed spirit as you said on top of the shards from Saksa it just made us
impossible for spirit to ever really set up the fight and get the fight going the way they wanted to
Every time they try to fight one of their members was just being kicked right into the middle of yandex and getting destroyed by this
What's the nurse? Yeah, we see sometimes later in the game, but making the read that I want to hear I want it now and
It absolutely owned to one and seven team
I'm gonna need a formal apology for anyone that's ever said sucks
I'm gonna mean he's absolutely unreal. This guy's good
And what do you have to say about Quinn with the Dazzle Disliking at the start?
It worked out pretty well for Malady.
It did.
I still hate the hero, but he cooked this game.
I'll give him that.
He did.
He really did.
Well played there by Yandex.
They're going to be able to get Game 1 here pretty confidently against Team Spirit.
In the words of our casters, God damn.
God damn.
That was good.
Yandex came to play today, especially Sykes.
What a tough performance.
way to justify what you were talking about Aiden, which is you want these first phase carries
that can kind of blindly enable their carries, or at least second phase supports, but Toss
plus this Ursa played to perfection.
I mean, Saksa is just, I feel like, all I say every time you're in the next phase
is just, Saksa is so good. Saksa does this that well. Saksa is like everything for them.
but it's hard to like not because he is cooking I feel like he's really on this
team is you see him a lot more than on tundra I feel like on tundra he was
probably playing just as well but you know surrounded by like a lot more high
profile players your eyes are drawn other places and now the spotlight is
on him a lot more and you see truly how good he is but I also do want to
touch on this dazzle because I agree with Quinn I hate the zero like I
I absolutely hate to see it.
Really?
I do.
But I feel like this was one of the few situations where it was picked properly and like it worked out.
So I feel like that when you end up picking your support heroes that late,
that's kind of when you have the opportunity to pick from these more like weird heroes.
You can see the matchups, you know, where your draft lacks or doesn't lack.
And this was a nicely picked out.
I feel like it was.
It started to malady.
I know myself being in that position sometimes you call for a hero
and it absolutely doesn't work out.
So it's not that easy to find the thing.
I think that's the-
Is it helped immediately?
Yes, I know, we were a Berlin major once
and I think we were playing against OG at the time
and Mind Control was playing Batrider awfully in every game
and I looked at the heroes are banned
and I just felt like nothing's gonna be good.
And then I was like, William, pick me a witch doctor.
I'm a cook with a witch doctor.
And Blitz was like, uh...
Okay, and then we picked it and we ended up losing
Talker and then later on doesn't in this moment. This is the funniest part. We are I think we're playing against
nine pandas, which was like Ramsey's key of talking time for
In a lower bracket finals super stable in the lower bracket finals
And then Zai's are just picking which doctor and William's like no and then Zai just has a wrong player
Give me the wish doctor. Let me cook. Oh
And then we did the which doctor IO. I do remember that
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wrong player became like a meme about like,
a good hero or just wrong player?
Don't pick a friend, pick a friend.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, it was a like very good dazzle pick overall,
because all they had was pretty much Centaur
to drag the whole team into them to be able to kill him,
but he also had a pretty strong frontline,
but this Timbersaw, who went for Agnem Scepter,
an item that we usually don't see for a good reason,
like even Collapse went for Yule Scepter
to be able to dispel it, but he was a menace.
And also this Quaswex and Mocha, it worked out really well.
He, Chara Jr. had like one or two Sasi Basti deaths on the side lanes, but everything else, like it was on point.
Like you use that tornado, you pretty much one-shot the creep wave, and then you're also menacing a fight.
Like if you saw Tosca with the shards in one of the Roshan fights, or they're just completely dismantling them.
You have EMP, you have tornado, then you have the big shards slowing them down, keeping them in place.
Like, a lot of these spells, I would say, have a hidden impact that you might not see straight away,
but you're like, well, I'm not moving. Like, I don't have any mana.
I'm not doing them stuck inside of the shards, and socks are really good in that game.
Yeah, he definitely did. There's some clips I'd like to show, actually, from the game.
There's... I definitely agree with the Timbersaw matchup. Having pure damage as well against
Viper is incredibly good, because that in here is normally really, really tough to kill,
but look how great the shards are. Step right in them with the healer on the low ground.
It's giving them a nice juice here. Watson hits the back lane.
He gets to just wail on the Juggernaut, trade his ultimate for an Omni Slash, which is a really good trade for Ursa here.
And in the meantime, the Juggernaut, sorry, the Timbersaw is just blowing up these tanky heroes.
The Suntar can't stand against him, the Viper is going to have trouble against the Yesher.
Viper casts a lot of spells on the Timbersaw, maybe he dies, but he's got ways to get out of the poison.
You can just Timber Chain away.
And then if you just put the Chakram on top of this Viper, Viper is going to have a bad time.
That's pure damage, cutting through this gigantic amount of magic resistance, which is part of the reason he's being picked.
cuts through his armor, cuts through the minus attack speed.
They just had great hero solutions against all the things that they're playing up against.
So the draft order they won't have really worked well.
Yeah, and I feel like we touched on during the draft, but for Spirit,
I think they are a team that are very good when they get to respond to the enemy team
in the draft, in the game. Like, if you think about how Spirit likes to play,
they like to set up baits. They are not very often the team that like
will smoke up and just run at you and run you over.
You don't see them doing like the gaming auditors thing of like just running at you non-stop
Like you've never seen spirit do that
What you will however seems fair to very often is they'll present a hero on the lane
And then there's four heroes behind them or like Laura will be out of position and then everybody's behind them
And they like to play that way and I feel like in this game
they didn't have like the correct setup in order to
enable that kind of play style and
Every single team kind of has like a way in which they're static
I think like Falcons it's very easy to say they play the same heroes all the time
Yeah, but they're quite dynamic and how they play
I think Spirit has they there are static in the form of like they need this type of setup for their game to flow
Naturally, and that's like their goal through the draft. So
In this case, they don't have it and I feel like they don't look quite as sharp as they do and a lot of their other games
But then I'm left wondering what was the justification for such an early Viper pick because if it is out of the norm for
their typical style of drafting, then what was the goal that they were like,
oh, Yandex won't know how to deal with this early second phase Viper because...
Probably based on all the series that have been played and stuff, they feel like,
because when you're a pro player, you kind of play these games, you get a feel for some heroes,
you're like, oh yeah, I play Jikiro, it's pretty good. But I don't want to play Jikiro against
Ringmaster. And then you're like, just picking Jikiro over and over again, and at some point
you just have to play against Ringmaster. And then you realize, oh wait, it's not that bad.
And then you're like, alright guys just pick me, Jakiro on every single game, I'll play it against anything.
Alright?
So probably this has been the process for Lore, like he played Viper once.
Right.
Like this hero feels amazing, like nothing really stops it.
Plays it again.
He's like, oh it wasn't just that we picked it at the perfect time, it's just good.
And then you keep upping the priority on the hero, and then suddenly you increase it to like 13 and then Yandex had a response.
And then you're like, oh okay, ooh never mind.
You cut it further down.
Exactly.
Um, so there are, there are these moments where you're kind of learning as you go, right?
It's a new patch, especially, it's especially the case on a new patch, I think.
Yeah, we're calibrating right now.
Exactly.
And the ranked confidence on Viper is like, maybe it was like 85% and now we're going
down to like 70% or something.
Something like that.
And the confidence for Dazzle goes up.
Dazzle last pick confidence.
24th pick Dazzle.
Yeah.
I, I'm not a fan of it early.
I just don't think it's like, in liquid we call it Casuals,
like heroes that you can just pick that are always going to be fine.
Like J'Kyro for example, will always do what J'Kyro does.
If you pick it last pick of the draft, he's probably not going to screw over lane harder
than if you pick it first pick, it's going to be about the same.
Like the variance in terms of impact is quite small.
Whereas Dazzle in the correct game is like, here, and Dazzle in the wrong game is like, the worst.
Makes sense.
So some heroes we classified more as like Casual picks, easier to pick, fit in anywhere,
and then some are more of later... laterpicks.
And we also got to see this laterpick Jug get solved out,
because Yatoro's final phase was heavily targeted.
He was not able to get his Kez.
Yeah.
Winranger was, I believe, banned out earlier as well.
Jug was basically the last of the popular heroes that we've seen him play.
We haven't really seen him go deep into his pocket quite yet.
No, not yet.
It looked okay in some situations,
where they like teamed up with the Centaur to be able to get a stun
before he gets the ulti off and he was walking to the high ground,
So they insta burst them but what these teams they kind of had very limited amount of stuns especially on side of spirit
It has to be it has to be collapsed
Like when you have two saving supports and when you have like a viper in your team
Somebody needs to make a move like somebody needs to be that frontline, but they also had
Very good ways to deal with this and I talked about the mana burn the stampede like even the big shards
If he doesn't want to use the stampede, he's kind of stuck and that's a big problem plus also Saxa
He had
Very good about a farm with that agonist sector once you pick it up
You can just easily go for that play you blink in BKB piercing tool another BKB piercing ability bit against juggernaut
To which works really well
So he never felt too comfortable coming into a fight you so many times or he gets locked out by eyeshards
And then without a spin. He's just food
Vulnerability is being shown for juggernaut and strength being shown for a yandex
And they make it happen two games in a row
We'll have to find out as we return for a game number two of Spirit vs the Andex after the break
Snowflakes falling over the clouds
Everyone is dancing under the lights
Gonna be a perfect holiday night
Gather around the fireplace

of earth and satin and old things.
Latin Rome, like a symphony.
Funny
To the bourgeoisie
It all burned down
Welcome back friends, time for a game number two of a Yandex versus Spirit, where more and
more of the picture is coming together, such as Lez QQ, we know Lez QQ's face now, give
me, give me, where'd he go?
Here right?
That's my boy.
We have Zai, young Zai.
Oh yeah, okay, let's show young, oh.
I feel like there's no way they're gonna be able to see that.
Young Zai's head.
Wait, hold on, okay, hold on.
Give me the piece to fill.
Give me the head, Shinami.
Hold on, I saw it.
Just wait for it.
That's nice space.
It's very, very young Zai.
I think he's like 14.
I don't even think he's very young in this picture.
Simply a child, a child prodigy, if you're really was he truly was I think when he first ruined our like
I think it was bent up the time. Oh, yes, I'm sure yeah
I actually think you had this like pre-pure pretty voice. I think he must have been like 11 or something
He was amazed by how good this guy was
What were you guys doing sitting on the entree low playing some Dota?
You already know
And how would you say that in Swedish?
I'm sitting here waiting to play a little Dota.
Hell yeah.
It's going to be great.
All right, draft on the screen, spirit the ban out, the timber style, the wind ranger,
the slaughter and the chikiro.
Yandex take out Primal Beast, Ursa and DK.
Core heavy bands come out of Yandex, which I'm assuming means that they may scoop one
up for themselves in their first pick.
Especially if you're like Warlock in the pool, I think a lot of the teams did opt to go for it in the first phase.
It gives you super strong laning stage. For now, for Yandex, it's going to be Centaur.
The difference is there's no Ursa. There's no that instant response that they did immediately after seeing the Centaur.
So we'll see how Spirit is going to approach this issue, because he also had to go for a different Night of Build.
Like, in a game where he didn't go for Crimson, he was trying to figure out,
because he has so many problems that he needs to address in this game.
You're playing against Ursa, you're playing against Timber Ag.
So Gilles was kind of natural, but this is also not an item that Centaur wants to buy.
It's not giving him what he wants compared to some other items that, like,
when you're picking up the Lotus, but he also needed to get a BKB,
you need to get a Blank.
So in a situation where you are, like, forced to buy items
that you don't want to buy, it kind of feels bad.
First of all, being banned also leads me to increase my priority on Caz.
Based on what I've learned throughout this tournament.
I'm not sure how Caz's land part goes, but in my mind it feels pretty nice for Caz.
I mean, the center by his blade metal, there's a small window, but it's a right,
so you don't think you care that much.
Yeah, exactly.
I can kill him eventually.
Oh, there you go.
I feel like infinite damage.
Yeah.
Were you priority bumping it all the way to first phase?
Kind of because if you don't pick it here most likely it gets banned. So I think the question is just like
Do we want kids or not? And if we do now's the time to get it
So yeah, I feel like now you're looking for some fire to just cover whatever format you might go up against
It was the same response as the previous series when Paravision played against OG they did pick
Then Taran 13 is on 14 immediately after
I think the hero just looks too busted. To be honest after that series earlier today is the tax-to-be changes with Falcon and Oshacine
Very very strong. Yeah, I just it's probably a first pick here until people get something like counters since really dedicated line of speed it
There's the last couple
Termins like has gets picked a lot, but the one where it's not always the best
So I want to see shaman for Yandex
And this is something that Soxa did run twice and this is also a hero that is very good against kids
what he wants to do. Like if you get the initiation on him with no saves whatsoever,
Kez is gonna die. I think if you run back to go back a couple of tournaments ago when Kez is
still like especially at Velakia some teams were picking Lion as a response where you have
instant stun and you also have extra bit of a burst damage coming up from Lion. But seeing the
buffs, the Shadow Shaman, maybe I'd like to see Yandex go for it instead because like you
It got buffed heavily, level 1 shackles, damage plus heal went up from 70 up to 100, which is pretty insane, like the 100 damage 100 heal.
Something also changed with the massive serpent ward too I think.
It gives quite a less bounty, so it's not that big of a deal.
And it also takes less hits to kill, so it's fine.
It's like an okay trade, it's like a neutral change.
Let's see if it ends up being prioritized. Other supports do get banned out. The Warlock
and the Tusk taken out by Yandex and the Spirit take out Chikiro and the Viscata Demon.
I mean, Warlock, mainly like I said, I think you want to cover for the heroes that really
enable Khez's Genie Phase and allow him to just sit there. If you think about
Sampar, the downside of Khez hitting Sampar is that you take a lot of damage back yourself.
When you get healed, that's kind of his nullified.
For that reason, Warlock Kez would be a nice lane.
They come together nicely against what Centaur does on the lane.
He just sits there and is like,
Hit me. You can't.
Oh, there we go.
But with Warlock, you kind of flip the script.
There's no, you can't.
First thing would be what we saw earlier today with Heels, yeah.
Yeah.
It's Models and Warlock sitting behind Kez.
He's in the Blade Mail, gets back down,
It's low, but then heals up a little bit and goes back in
Now that's a lot of generic brown pieces. I
Warned you. I'm gonna tell you dude. You're just going into this thinking with the dark brown pieces
Which are an upright color master. Yes, okay, mostly the darkest ones
More or less. That's how we got to start
Oh SD band and then ring master picked as these quite good against ring master as you can purge off the
Box, right?
Yeah, generally speaking with ringmaster you will go in second
So you'll let like the enemy team initiate and then you will drop your combo on whatever's happening
Or you will initiate and drop your stuff on top of it
And SD is quite a good hero against both of that
It's like if you're going offensively the disruption kind of messes with your old and if SD is going aggressively against the ringmaster team
Whatever guy he targets ringmaster is not going to save so
Nice band to cover the upcoming pick for that
This Nature's Prophet builds into Spirit's Vessel, like if you have center in the lane against Keds, you might lose that lane, but you might also just try to break the lanes with Nature's Prophet.
You might be able to TP to the 5 lanes, bring that extra plus one, get a kill, go back to your lane, get level 6, then try to gank him again.
And there's a Shaman that we did mention. It feels really good just in general.
I think Team Spirit also felt it coming, picking Ringmaster immediately out of the phase,
knowing that they might need to get some save. If you have, like, if you get shackled, if you get
hexed, so to have at least something for their cares once he gets initiated on.
It also makes the Nature's Prophet rotations more than just a kill.
Like an easily become now a tower or even a roche.
You got a lot of objective-taking potential with Shaman on the board.
And I found one.
No, why yeah, it's only my eighth try
All right next slot next 30 pieces are back over start doing it guys. I see the alien work. Oh
I have a purpose in life. All right
This man's awesome. I bring the sponsor. We'll talk about the draft soon
Well, so no, why don't you expect to be your nation's profit kids much?
So
Physically, I'm assuming that grappling hooks for the most part makes proud less of a threat
You can just get through it and the nature's profit rotations
You're gonna be you're gonna be sitting on your raptor dance a little bit more than usual because you never know when profits gonna show up
You have to buy battle theory or something now you can get out with your skills
You'll hook up and now Laurel can earth spirit roll out. I like that. You we have seen him do work on it earlier in the tournament
It basically limits a lot of mobility advantage that Prophet has. That part's pretty good.
You can kind of dive him all the time. Once he gets a little bit ahead, you'll have a good time.
You have to worry about getting disabled, but you're also tanky, so I'm not that worried for him.
Does someone on the panel at some point ask me about Maxi Earthsphere W vs Q?
And I pretended like I knew the answer, even though I didn't.
But I have a panel. I have thank you. I have since then educated myself
You educated your someone educated you. I have a friend at home 30. Okay, who is like a massive or spirit enthusiast
Who made endless fun of me because he knows me well enough to know what I'm pretending and
He was making fun of me when I came home and he told me the reason you do it
It's because the cool down on the road goes out. Obviously. Yeah, I'll be first
And it goes down to 4 seconds, which is like ridiculous.
And then he said, but it doesn't really matter, because people can now TP out of the role,
but you couldn't before.
So before if you rolled on Earth Spirit, they started TPing, you could roll again, I guess.
But now it's like, it's not possible anymore.
But he said, that's like why you should always max your roll first on Mid-Earth Spirit.
And you know what the best part about all this is?
Someone in chat right now is correcting me.
I mean, that's not the only reason, the real reason is...
Especially now that you're going up against a nature's prophet, who's also gonna be teleporting...
Exactly!
...and you'll be that low-cooled-out.
Precisely, precisely. That was why it was relevant.
Uh-huh.
Thank you, tsunami.
So there will be a Spirit Breaker acquiring these targets for you, because that's gonna be Team Spirit's pick for a RU,
which also means that this Ember Spirit's gonna be under fire.
But we do get a Spirit vs. Spirit showdown in the middle lane now.
Yeah, it's Triple Spirit, actually, in this game.
I do like Spirit Breaker overall, I think this is something that they needed to match some of these global rotations that NP is going to be doing in this game.
Because you need to have that plus one and you also have relatively active hero coming up from the mid lane.
So Earththread will be joining some of these as well.
And also good for Kez, like what Kez doesn't like to do is be the only frontliner for the team.
And what Earththread wants to do is he wants to go in, create chaos in the backlines especially for this Shadow Shaman.
We have Spirit Breaker charging you.
So a lot of these spells are gonna be tanked by both of these heroes,
and then Kez kinda has the free entry to the fight.
They have crazy dive heroes though, on T-Spiritside.
Like, they're just gonna be getting in there.
And I wish the Index had like, really strong A.W. team fight,
like, Ravage type stuff that just like, disables everybody,
because right now there's gonna be all these different fires to put out constantly.
How flexible is this nature's profit?
Team Spirit are banning out carry heroes.
They take out the troll Warlord, which seems to suggest that
Maybe the Nation's Prophet doesn't support?
I mean, I feel like Prophet carries a little bit weaker.
Definitely not nerfed in terms of damage.
They nerf some of the damage you get for trees nearby.
They lowered the AoE, the shard.
I think they adjusted one of his stack gains as well a little bit.
I can't remember exactly, but...
I wonder if the hero just doesn't hit as hard as like a hard carry anymore.
And because the Ember shows, they're like,
okay, it's definitely not a mid now, it's gonna be a support.
I definitely like this hero mid the most, in my experience.
I feel like probably this Ember is picked as a response to Earth Spirit, they feel like this matchup isn't vice for them.
Like the Prophet TPing into Earth Spirit probably doesn't feel so good.
The late matchup isn't dominant enough to stop the Earth Spirit from playing this game.
But I'm not sure, like I don't really think of Malady as a Nature's Prophet player.
I feel like he's more...
Hmm, Soxa best plays it.
Sure.
And Soxa plays anything.
But I do feel like having Soxa on my crossbow feels kind of nice.
It's the end.
It's such a good feeling like showing against Humber yesterday, but
I wouldn't really want to move them off of it.
It's double carry bands though, and on dying
in what position?
High.
It's Prophet 1, I think.
Okay.
It does look like it.
Ehh...
I mean, I can say Spirit Baker on his on dying is not very fun.
This is one of their area controls, Tombstone now.
You put down Tombstone and all these dive heroes, who are busy attacking heroes, are going to have like three to five zombies on them.
And that's really going to help in these elongated teamfights, especially if they can reset a little bit with Stampede.
And then like, slight chains or opponents disable them and send them to the jump.
Core Batrider coming out.
Is it?
I believe so.
Or is it a Collapse?
I think it's a Collapse Batrider.
Cool.
Something to dodge something it can also cut the creep waves another initiator
Works well with the spirit breaker in the lane. This is a hero that I think
In the lane
I was also gonna be doing a lot against undying and dying is a lane bully
But you can also like if you get close get some of those stacks
They could potentially maybe disrupt this matchup which sounded pretty strong
Malvage plus Watson on empty plus this undying sounds very strong, but I like this
I think there was another team Extreme Gaming that did run it once or twice, this offline
Batrider.
And with a bit of a new tech coming out where you can go for like bongo boots and stuff
like that, just some of these smaller items allows you to reset the fight.
I think this might be the item on the offline Batrider you're playing against, you're
playing against Shaman and they drop their abilities, you might be able to reset, have
like a budget stampede kind of.
And you're like kind of tanky now because you are getting tons of regen from that
item.
Yeah.
Like they buffed it up so like it kind of works out nicely in terms of you
You're doing damage, being disruptive and hard to kill.
You got about four or five pieces already.
I've been watching.
You just got a method here.
You put them all on the left and you fit piece by piece
until one of them finally fits and then you reset and go again.
Beautiful.
So it's a beautiful day here.
Aiden in the words of base hunter,
what are we getting ready to do?
Spela lite dupa.
That's what I like to hear.
That's what I like to see.
Let's get into game number two with Odie Pixel and Quinn.
Hello, here's this young man, we're getting ready for game two.
Unfortunately, we have lost lacks for this one.
He was simply disgusting when, by the lack of pugna viper, pugna, pugna viper.
It's not in this game, so he had no interest in casting it.
This is what's up with Quinn, ready for game two.
Yandex versus Spirit.
Quinn, what have we got here?
This game two, I think we can expect a bit more from Spirit.
Straight in with the draft, they come out with the cares.
We've seen this here a pop-off recently.
The Spirit, they're ready to do it here.
Yeah, they, this game I think will be way more fighting than the last game, Spirit, they picked Earth Spirit, Batrider, Spirit Break, if you're not ready to fight with these heroes and I don't know what you're doing, they will be attacking non-stop.
This is going to be a much more aggressive approach as opposed to what we saw in game one where it's a lot of hitting creeps from Yatora and the boys, didn't work out for them.
for them. Yandex though on the other side. What do we still have going from them? Do you think they've
managed to sort of match that approach from Spirit here in this game to draft? I think it's a cool
deviation putting the nature of profit carries. Yeah. We haven't seen in quite a while but
to put it mid against the Earth Spirit, I think it's a pretty good matchup for the Earth Spirit
in the game. These are very vulnerable to Spirit Breaker or Earth Spirit and they're going to
gank you like crazy and it's hard to respond to that. So Ember gives us some great fighting
And I think Yanix are definitely ready to to clap back and to match the aggression spirit and so again
Looking forward to this and as for this classic the spirit matchup in the mid lala
Spirit against the cheer at junior ember
What do we sort of expect from the matchup when it's these two especially with a spirit in this new patch being a very very hot
Commodity in the mid lane
I think it's definitely it's a clutch embers a classic counter to the earth spirit the stone is not enough damage to break the shield
So you can kind of just press the shield and nowadays press the chains as well
and
It's very good harassing in fear spirit. Laura playing the first wave. Well
True junior playing it a little bit new more passively in terms of pulling the creeps back
Not contesting as many CS or playing for his game
But you can see here while uses both spells doesn't matter
He just takes a bunch of damage because it's not a lane that her spirit can really win without some extreme
Outplay so Laura will just be playing chill here to last hit and
I'm sure they're okay. I mean does matter. Do you want to continue chasing with the decays or just sort of let Rue
Yeah, okay. He's gonna keep you anyway. So we're just gonna be fine
But yeah, we'll actually just keep you towards the tower doesn't want to go the way back to base of course to level one has the bash
So I wouldn't be now to charge back out to the map
But definitely need to stay here constantly on a dying
Yeah, not really an option for him to leave unless we should profit leaves
I think if anyone's ganking it's an issue profit and a dying takes the lane you cannot
He's a girl still looking fat. Oh boy.
He might just have him this time. He does.
Chiricuni again in the first blood in this matchup.
A huge hoax.
And that's that counterpick. This is not a fun lane.
It's the reason why people generally only counterpick with our streets
because the matchups like this are very bad.
It's your bottom lane.
It's yours. It's gonna be fine.
And what do you make of this? Obviously we have seen today
how crazy the Kez is starting to get in these incredible carries hands.
In Yotaro's hands, are you confident to show it as this first pick?
Or do you think maybe the hero is not quite that good and it can be counted
if you just put it out at the beginning of your draft?
No, I think it's totally fine to pick it there.
The hero is very good against Centaur.
Pretty low-armor hero, and Kess just goes against a clean amount of physical damage.
We saw in that OG game earlier, I think it makes sense to pick here.
And like you said, it's a hero that's been on the rise,
so get your hands on it early because you're not getting it later.
Absolutely no.
Shares in the mid.
And we are seeing...
Despite the death.
I'll continue to keep up with farm.
Against Shira Junior.
Will be a slow whittling down of his HP though.
Shira Junior is going to spam those chains,
spam the shield.
You can already see more damage going into Laurel mid as he starts getting low again.
Actually, you just end up taking so much here from this Ember Spirit.
I'm quite able to get a grab there on the bottom lane.
Tora is still going to be pretty happy with what he's finding from the save flanks.
And we said from Watson Watson also getting some good denies in on the other side of the map here.
That's the save flan nature's profit.
Yeah, it was the last pick, Batrider.
It is very good against nature's profit in a lot of stages of the game, but Batrider is a weak laner.
Very low right click damage, so if you're not getting kills, you're not really doing much.
And it's hard to get kills against this and dying to put the tomb zone and turn things around if you ever fully commit with the flame break.
That rudder isn't very bad against Ember Spirit, he's changed super good against you, you can
see Collapsed has the boots of bearing queued up but that doesn't do anything when you're
rooted.
This max root build could be a huge problem for Collapsed in some of these early mid-game
fights.
Yeah, between some of that and the presence of the Undying turning up, dropping a Tombstone,
profit ready to get involved early. It's definitely going to make spirit think very
carefully about the aggressor moves they want to go for. Look at the charge here,
Tombstone out of them. So they'll be able to kite out at least the Tombstone and won't
suffer in return here. Collapsed will be able to continue to stick around it, find his barb.
They can get the lane back on the side of the spirit. They'll definitely have more
kill threat with the tomb on cooldown and dying is not really that useful and a
hero that just generally falls off in lane pressure as time passes no matter why
here's broken on the first waves slowly gets off until he gets another power
spike a little bit later. Watson's doing great so far he's very farmed and he
can join some of these early fights and avoid a spout rider later pressure in
lane.
And in the middle, after their first death, Lyle's been able to play pretty cautious.
So Junien not quite finding a chance to go on him yet again, and I'd imagine next time
round spirit will be quick with support reaction.
Lyle's got to watch out when we come up to that six-minute power-in.
Both teams likely to shift from focus over towards the mid.
Each of them having a very aggressive mid laner, more than half each trying to join
forces and get those early kills we can look with the charge but December is
definitely not killable so it's not gonna be easy to contest this the charge can
get cancelled too and it's a very good tools against here in these rune fights
it's very hard for them to actually interact here a little block offs as
well and yeah once the team piece over there easily I'm gonna shut off the
escape of room see entire earn completed now they get the war
The Ward D-Wards, the Great Sentries and Socks, that clips the Ward to lower a place deep under his tower.
And they're ready to go for the dive in. Good block there from Church Unions.
Stops, Lyle, from being a roll away. They've got the shackles. They're bringing the four of them.
Take out Lyle once again and keep the pressure on a little bit here with his siege creep.
I'm very impressed with the Andex. We've seen them in some other tournaments.
He and a little bit of a slower team not make these moves, but in this series they've really stepped off.
This is some huge pressure. They're going to get this tier one for free.
very fast and not necessarily what you normally expect out of a team that has
like an ember in the mid right you don't really think of this as the hero that
you join up with and pressure in early tier one but they've done exactly that
with Watson turning up and with the support pressure taking this tier one
tower down in the first six minutes that's that solo kill coming into play
it has so much of an impact on the levels but collapse may get solo kill of his
own not quite solo but when dying running a bit of a bad path you need
kill to this bat and you don't want to see that this bat can still be very
strong in these fights apart from the ember spirit he's quite powerful against
everything else so we can definitely get involved join these fights once he's got
a little more levels and yeah next what we need to be careful about where they
take their forces.
Sheeshit every time that Loll turns up to the wave loses pretty much his entirety of his health pull
against this ember and Chirijun is gonna be ready to keep chasing he's
got change back up in a second Loll he's dead again it feels just
impossible for him to go anywhere close to the Zemba Spirit right now.
Matt, the thing is, it shouldn't be this bad. That first death really cost him so much.
He should be able to chill, be okay, give someone else the XP mid and gank elsewhere,
but Centaur, he's full HP, he's got the helm, he's headed off the cut waves.
The Spirit is probably going to look at him as being mid is no longer an option
for him. He just keeps dying.
The charge coming in, that's what it takes to bring notice down. Notice he's at the back of a Chiro Junior.
The ember's ready to turn up, look at the rounds of the two of them, magnetized down as well, allows them to bring notice down.
See if they can fight back here, Yandex. They'll catch through in the trees.
Chiro Junior continued to stay in on top of Lyle. Another earn charge, Yandex set up the steering chain.
Catches him out. I mean Spirit tried to get something go there to join their way there, but Yandex, they're not afraid to turn up and fight back.
and fight back. Chiro Junior, he's always going to make sure that he's getting involved.
I mean definitely, this is my best game of him in the tournament so far.
I'm top playing Saksa. He's quick with the setup, buying time for Watson to TP in. Chiro
Junior has to say he doesn't want to miss out on any of this action. He turns up as
well. Saksa will survive, sets up for another kill here for Yandex. Eight to three now.
And this Ember Spirit is starting to get a decent step ahead. See the charge come
Shaman, Saksa, has he got any way to play his way out of this?
Ooh boy!
And backup's coming in!
Rue is not gonna get away with this.
He goes down mega kill streak for Chiro Jr.
And Saksa, he gets out of the last lock!
Man.
This Shaman on Saksa in particular has looked so powerful.
I haven't really seen anyone else playing it, but when he's on that hero,
it looks like a tier one support hero.
And this Ember build, this new Ember build, the max chains has been insane.
The level of skirmish play that this hero has.
I mean it's just the factor as well that this spell has a relatively high uptime run.
When you consider the low cooldown and the long duration, every time you're getting
two sets of the chains off, maybe even three in these skirmishes.
And it's also a farming tool as well because of this fast that allows you to press
on waves hits every creep and just a few right clicks whole waves that you don't
even need to press your shield can save that for fights
yeah Chou Juni are very much showing strength for this game continue to just
bully Loll can you roll out of this you can Chou Juni not quite able to get
the block off on to him so Loll will live but only Justin not easy for this
first prayer to get his way back into the game.
Definitely not. I'm surprised that Yennex aren't making a move to this bottom tower yet.
With the Stampede, with the Undying Ulti, they definitely can go kill this Kez pretty much
whenever they want and I don't think Spirit can respond that easily.
Faradar's farming ancients, he's trying to get to a point where you can join these
fights a little bit easier but running straight into Yennex is very difficult. They can
can kite you back, Ember can TP in and can change you, so Spirit is definitely going
to be playing defensive and looking for openings.
The Andex gives them.
So what we can get here?
No test.
Who's standing this up there with that neutral creep, buys time to sacks and get him with
the shackle.
Same time, soft Spirit.
We'll get away with the dive on for Watson.
So not going empty handed this time round, Spirit with the trade.
Trying to take out the tombstone as well, but Malady, he's ready to fight back.
He's just gonna move in on towards Collab's roof.
Will hot him back with the ult, yet Tauri's turned up to try and take down the undying.
See Malady can get another two-man to KO if he can, it won't keep him alive.
So Team Spirit bring the pressure in top,
the Starring to be able to get a bit of action going their way,
especially when they look to get Tauri involved.
Well, cheer Junior though.
So Tauri's got his way out of this one.
I don't know if he has, there's a lot of damage coming in from the ult of Watson.
So whilst they might have managed to dive the tower kill off Watson Watson he returns and gets his revenge
You might even get a second kill
Laps he's so low here. He's gonna hide and hope that no sliver fist comes into the pit
Well actually it's not no time to kill him clap
It's an item what's it called the shield barrier? What is it? Oh the ash legion shield
Yeah, this the ash legion shield from what an annoying name from spear beggar saves in there
If he doesn't have that, that is a dead bat rider.
Yeah, that was pretty clutch.
He looked very good.
He gets the lift.
Go get out. Still up.
Chew as you knew. Finding cleanups.
Long. Having to continue to just be absolutely terrified as Zemba Spirits.
2k gold difference right now.
Between the mists, just 12 minutes in.
This is a really big deal.
So here they're going to smoke up and try to find something.
But the stampede is up soon.
And your turret does not want to go into the center
They are gonna try it with the charge for but it's put to a stop
It's a little awkward to bring him back with the ult
They're trying to try everything down on Trim, but now the backup turns up Watson's ready to TP and his core path to the sprout
They change catch on to both with the support and if he collapse gets caught as well
Watson will die, but Lala is surrounded Lala will fall ends up being a 3-4
Maybe Malady ticks out at the end the spare vessel and magnetized will indeed bring him down
Again, the Spirit looking for the fights, but not coming out on top. They're losing three heroes. They're only getting two.
I love Yannick's bringing the numbers like this. They're not afraid to match the tempo. They're not getting caught up in deforming too much.
Watson kind of just suicide bombing into these fights, just keeping him in the middle, making sure they get the kills, not being too scared about his own life.
Saksa. He's very close to getting his hands on Yatoro.
It doesn't get the chance to...
Taro will be fine. Very close to having the battle here on line, yet Taro.
So, seeing him go there. The same way that we did see Arma go the other day.
And of course a different approach to that, at the deser that we had earlier today.
From, say, Taniq, mid lane.
And so on the run. Has collapsed by his side.
Tiro Jr. still with the remnant at the ready.
And Spirit9, they're not even going to try it.
and get the setup on to December Spirit, still yet to be taken down, 7-0-7, Cheer of Junior.
He's having a great series.
He's owning.
In the meantime, Notice is farming away, working on that Lotus Orb, it's an insanely good Lotus Pipe game.
Spirit, a lot of low-tick damage sources, Urspirit, Batrider, Ringmaster.
Being able to purge those off and block them with the Pipe, it's going to totally change how these teamfights go.
So suddenly you go from 3 for 2 to 3 for 0 if you got a little bit more tank ability.
A few moments of calm here for both sides.
Something that Spirit will definitely appreciate with the route they want to go down
with the battle of Sherry Caz and with the Spirit Law looking towards getting that Midas online to help him scale.
Look towards the top lane.
They have the serpents online and dying old they are ready to go
I'm rude looking pretty dead here
I'm getting the cat showing him and spirit will not be bringing anyone else up here
in response to that one they just have to let the spirit break it goes down and
Maybe the tower in trouble as well. Hey, hand dex ready to push on
This tier 1 will not be held on 2 by spirit, so Yandex having to get back on with the pressure.
Every kill, every tower, every little bit of map you take away matters.
You've got a nature's prophet who's absorbing the whole map at the same time,
keeping on pace and even staying a little bit ahead of the Kez with the battle theory for now.
And Kez is a hero that does not like to play from behind.
behind. He likes to be that super farmed hero, like it's seen from Amai and Zatanic in the
past couple of days, so...
So it's going to be on the creep grind for a while.
I mean, to use what this game looks easier or more difficult for you, Toro, to carry
as the Kes, as opposed to what he had to achieve on the Jugging Game 1.
I think it's a bit easier. That Game 1 is pretty hard for him, whereas this game
Kes is a great individual matchup against Nature's Prophet. You get on top of them,
Terranabase, there's no way an Asian mob is manfighting you, so he's going to need to play the kiting game.
And have help from his teammates to survive.
Whereas last game he's playing Jog against Ursa, it's probably Jog's individual worst carry mashup.
So, it's not a position your core wants to be in.
This game he's got a better one, and he's very happy about that.
Churjunia, seems to be going to use himself to the remainder of the Sarkame room, but Spirit...
...wants to be called out, and they're playing very cautious now, Spirit.
They don't want to feed away any more lives to this control of the game that Yandex have right now.
As they should, their position, they know they need to hold this area and be ready to turn it around, but it is on a nice edge. If they lose a fight here, it could be a disaster.
So Yandex can find a happy hit by the scan. So Spirit know this is coming.
They're going to try and set up, and they go for the last throw, they get the drag back,
they've got the control of the Chiro Junior, they were able to kill him off, they bring
down the Ember Spirit, a fantastic start to the fight from Spirit, and off the back of
that they can clean up Saksa and Malady as well.
Big last throw there coming in from collapse, and my goodness that could have been quite
terrifying, I think that was what amplified damage room coming out from Chiro Junior
at the start of that fight.
If they didn't lock that Ember down, he might have just cleaned them all up.
Spirit, they get the catch, they're able to hold back Yandex a little bit.
That's the classic Spirit bait. They're going to get another Freebie off this, as Malady gets spotted by Klaps.
He's Dunzo Bunzo. Yeah, dying two times pretty much within the last 10 seconds there.
As he was quickly back on the map and quickly killed off again.
Spirit, they're the best team in the world at this. When they're behind, they don't give up their areas for free.
They stalk you and look at you, hold these areas and wait for just the right moment to burst you.
Cheerios, somewhat new to the scene. You've got to learn spirit to drink.
Stacks on the wall to try and start the fight here.
He's just going to drop down the step and was straight away on the wall to collapse.
But the box is there. It's going to allow him to get a chance to escape.
Flame rate to not by the two of them. Collapse will still fall though.
Now with the remnant chase.
Cheerios Jr. trying to close in on towards Panto.
Should have been able to get away with another jump.
Panto.
He's going to get caught by the slide chains.
Very nicely done there by Cheerios Jr.
They get the grab. The whip is there to stop the hoost on the Panto.
Still with a chance to run.
Under the tier 2, he has been slightly fisted and vessels, so ticked down pretty low, but he should be able to live.
Panto, he'll get away!
I know you won't.
These are huge fights. Earth Spirit's game was horrendous before that, but with that he gets the Midas online,
he gets his boots, which he didn't even have before,
and they're going to start sneaking out of these lanes, ratting, playing the pick-off game.
So they can continue this recovery route.
But the opening and Lars ready to bring in a fair bit of damage
Enough to go for no test that we use the offer lal. He doesn't want to continue under the tower
Too scared and understandably so with teepees coming in
Not quite able to take notice down at this point the two of them
And I don't know notice for God
He had a lotus or what but he just didn't press it that whole time
I think he was not killed. He's like these guys can't get me
He really he really thought that because he could have pressed at any point the purge the vessel or but
Saying nah, I'm honestly that's probably one of the reasons as well. Why?
Love don't want to go in right? It's like this guy's not usually like the load is all over them
He is not scared of us. There's got to be a reason. Yeah, I
Respect it. I respect that stone cold mentality. Yeah, he tore us to be kitty online and they're getting a mid tower and suddenly
Tables have turned a little bit. Yeah, things are happening from spirit
You know you mentioned it there was a little bit of a lull there from Yannick's not making moves
He stopped keeping the pressure up it gave time for that bat rider to finish up an entire blink dagger
Kess to get that battle for and start farming and now
You can see some of the the holes in the annexes draft they don't quite have the pipe online they'll have some of that tank ability
They will get the blink from socks and now so they catch the fight start is online
Yeah, it's super important and it will always remain that way when you do have the
factor of this case your Torah as you said earlier just looking to get on top
of the nature's profit if you don't stop him from getting in and on top of
Watson Watson will not stand the chance definitely not it's going to pipe we'll
have it soon you get to ask a great setup again collapse gets to lasso
cheer a junior's gone kill goes the way of your Torah these kills they hurt
for yandex cheer a junior was having an insane opening to the game the rest
Most of us team at least able to pick up the Torment to get the Shard, but dying here again
on the Ember Spirit, especially when the Gold goes towards Yutura on the Kez, it hurts.
That early game can drift away from you pretty quickly.
And it is drifting.
Suddenly Kez is top net worth.
You've got a bad carry matchup.
And I have to question this itemization from Ember Spirit, so I'm playing it so much
damage, so many stuns, often not for anything defensive, going for the Kaia into
the aggs.
It's paid for a couple of times. If you're gonna buy these greedier items, you can't give away these deaths because it's gonna slow down your momentum.
You're playing with this item build to be sort of the gigachad scalar Ember spirit, not the space maker.
When you die like that, that dream dies a little bit every time.
That's difficult. It's gonna be difficult. We're staying with Collapsed as well.
He's buying these bastards every time. And you know, outside sort of what the sense of being around with some sort of clutch loads is play.
difficult to really do much about that. We've seen how quickly Tez can just kill whoever's
locked down. And at the last iteration, more than enough for you to already get the kill
on pretty much any of these heroes.
Well, that's probably the best teamfight jumper of all time, an incredibly insanely
clutch player at knowing just the right time to start these fights. And he's showing
it this game so far.
jumps Ember into perfect timing in the triangle they've just the right follow-up
they kill him off and since then Yannick's has not really had much of a
foothold.
Oh, Saksa, let's see if he can catch you on a collapse.
Georgianian Watson coming in to bring in the damage, they'll be able to kill him off.
And just like glazing like crazy feet so you're welcome Yannick.
It's the Caster Classic.
In the river.
Malibru, I won't find Malady, trade to be found, the same note just head up, he pulls very strong of course,
now he's got the pipe on top of the lotus.
Yeah he cannot die, except to maybe, maybe Kess.
Last 0-inters spear breaker with Kess, something like that, getting those three years.
Kess does crazy stuff, and how we're looking on your Taurizite build, Christmas is done,
very close to picking up the Demon Edge in towards that Daveness, so the damage is going to be pretty insane from Kess.
Everyone watching the side of things, he's just still trying to get that BKB finished after me on it, Hurricane Pyke.
I thought he was going to try to go on him, but instead he just slashes away and runs.
Panto is sort of teasing around with NoTest.
It's not really an easy one to go for as you're saying, unless they really have the full lineup including the Kez around.
So, NoTest is going to be able to walk away.
Janus, you're not getting control of this bottom area though.
You can see your Toro, he keeps pushing it in, keeps farming these waves.
And it's giving them a lot of information about where Yandex is.
Makes these moves very difficult for them to hit, because he thought he has to come clean up this bottom wave.
Not what he wants to be doing on the Shadow Shaman.
They want some pressure.
They want to see where these heroes are.
Taking the fights is going to get a lot harder.
The triple BKB now online for Spirit.
Straight up team fights.
They're not as simple.
They really have to ensure that
noticed is in a position where he's able to front line everything
and just getting thrown at them. In spirit
as you say, very good at finding the correct angles to enter into a fight. They're going to be doing that
best job to get around him
and get to the squishier cores. On the bottom lane, Saksa,
will be found. Where's the bash?
Not even needed.
So that means we get the cleanup.
Smoke continues here from Lyle and Pantam, maybe you're seeing if they can find something
else off the back of this.
Doesn't look like it.
They'll just be happy with Yatora pushing in the bottom wave.
We're going to take down the tier one tower and with that tower, we'll have the money
to have this Daedalus online continue to be incredibly close here between Yatora
on Watson's farm.
Junior.
Chains.
Wow.
Got the BKB if he feels pressure.
Very much keeping his cool and deejus.
Relying on the back of the flamethrower to keep
the center of the distance.
It's not going to panic BKB there.
BKB will be online
for Watson for the next fight.
We'll have it after this next creek camp.
Smoke up for the spirit.
They want to get your turret involved. They know
much damage this cast can do right now false Adelis see if Yandex is ready
looking at your tour I'm just gonna try and get in on this we'll manage to get the
connection and onto Chirijuna in the trees they find Saxa I want to eliminate the shaman first
gonna get the chance to live a little longer your tour is ready to put the
beat give me and get in there and they've taken out Saxa in your tour
look in towards Malathe will be able to finish off the undying Chirijuna
tries to get in but did not do enough damage this time around your
Choice getting low, he's gonna try and run, see if they can chase out the cares they can.
Chiro Jr. finds him over towards the mid lane, finishes him off with the jump forward at the remnant.
Good chase there from Yandex. Chiro Jr. able to find that big kill, take Yatora out at the end of the fight.
That's that tank ability from the centaur. Takes him so long to bring the heroes down.
Crimson coming up next, he's hitting that and dying for like six seconds it takes him to kill him in the meantime.
It took him a while.
Lots of just wham, wham, wham with his staff.
and it adds up over time.
You just can never underestimate how much damage the Ember Spirit does throughout these teamfights.
Lots being done by Tera Junior here to spite the fact he was the one getting jumped to the start.
It was just a little bit too deep for the rest of Spirit to pull up on right there.
They had to settle for Saks for instead, but that's still a pretty tricky kill to get.
He gets the chance to run up to the high ground as you say here, with this BKB Hitoro.
Most of the time he's been trying to kill the Undying.
The rest, under the tent to escape, but Chiratunia, he was not going to let Yatora get out of there.
At this point, knows exactly which way it's ahead, gets the jump on him, and ensures that Yandex gets that huge kill.
They get the Aegis, but up only 2k gold, and how the jump goes, determines these fights to a very large degree.
That one was unsuccessful from Spirit on getting a big core, but as you move into Spirit's side, they have sneaky defensive wards,
And they are experts at defending those areas and looking for opportunities if you show them
So if the index are gonna try to play Gressor they need to be on their absolute a game
Yeah, I imagine next fight as well spirit as a whole they'll try their best to set up the fight in a way
That allows you tour to kind of use his BKB duration to go on something a bit bigger
Right, he needs to find that jump on towards the next profit take Watson or threaten cheer junior
Otherwise one of those are gonna be threatening in harder
Finishing up the Crimson and then we'll see if they want to play aggressive or not.
Right now I'm just content to farm it up with this ADS, but as more time goes on, it's very
much an execution based game.
It's not super clear right now who's favored.
Both teams have things going for them.
So much about the jump.
We got smug time from Yandex.
You get aggressive here with the Aegis.
Spirit, do they sense there's some Yotaro?
Up at the top. She's camped P. Choose here.
They're gonna close it onto Pansoc.
The lease for Spirit.
Now we'll give the info for Yotaro to get out of this topside of the map.
So we'll just be the support kill.
Still looking for the deny, not gonna get it.
Last it comes in with Flightfish from Chiro Junior.
And your tour is to say he gets the safety to get out of there and continue to work towards this agonims about halfway on towards it
So no golden crease re-endex
They're gonna smoke again back to back they feel like okay
It's time to use the day it's been farming for too long with it. They once went there once I'm in big here
I'm gonna try and catch spirit whilst they call out split across the map, and they might have just found it here
It's a good job
I'll get collapsed
That's huge
They're gonna get tier two office as well, and maybe they can even throw in the high ground
Might be the temptation to see what happens
How much they want to go for yandex
So 30 seconds no collapse so no last so depth of worry about on this attempt for a high ground season still plenty of minutes with the ages
See how much they can get done in here on Dex, and what Spirit's going to be able to do to slow them down.
Even just forcing Glyph would be great.
Opens up your opportunities for later pushes if you do get a future pick-off.
Well, I'm kind of scared backing up a little bit. I'm kind of surprised considering that's still dead.
I just want to go for the kill on the bottom left.
Give a Sprout to Rook.
He's out of it, but the right clicks from Watson, they certainly are.
Your Tori's going to try and turn up and fight here to help out.
Makes the move and immediately on towards the Sharma, but he's not gonna be able to kill him and now Yatora's in trouble
But jump out to the side, but he has to run over the rest of his BKB
He's gonna get caught with a slight change. The BKB comes to an and Yatora is dead
Sure, Saksa dies at the end of it to the damage of Yatora, but cost him both Ruu and Yatora's life there
of Yatora wanting to make that aggressive play
And even after sort of the fight went wrong, he could have done the nightfall, but decides he wants to stick around and
take the fight a
misread and
It's bearding this theory so far. They're not looking super on the ball
Game one was very clumsy in a way and this game sure they had some moments of brilliance turning the game around but overall
Yandex have been the ones in the driver's seat. Yeah, they really have
Tis who gone in the mid Yandex ready to bring round the bottom lane push as well
well. He's moments without you
throw on the map just allowing
Watson to increase that lead
Watson himself very close to
having his day list. On top of
it all. Top lane, socks is
everywhere. He really is getting
the set up each and every time
Lolo get the BKB off will
sense enough to save him. It
is not dying easily through the
BKB
Soxa messes up and waits a little too long to shackle but somehow it works out ends up being even better that he goes down
And they get the kill. I'm gonna be able to get the tool mention. Hey, yeah, that's
sharp for Malady
Have an additional save. It's not the easiest one to cast short cast range
actually expecting that to save someone off a bat jump that's probably not happening but
It could come in clutch even just being able to tomb himself of kez commits on
and buying that little more time wasting the DKB. Kiting this bird is the name of
the game. Now for notice he has the crimson and the blink farming all game
and these Auras are gonna have a huge impact.
Cheer Junior closing on Sheeva's.
Great itemization from Yandex.
And we got the Ryze on Nurtus in the mid.
They're gonna try the lasso set up.
Do they have the damage?
Kez coming in ready with a raptor.
Does they certainly do?
It's all right.
Takes him out.
That's Nurtus gone for a minute.
Got a little cocky.
Indeed, I think, you know...
That's what happens once in the game, I feel, as a Sentor, where you die that easily to the caress, and then you're like, well, now I've got to be much more careful.
Like, they will kill him. They do not struggle when your tour is around to kill even the tankier Sentor.
You cannot underestimate this hero's damage.
You saw it earlier today. Yep.
Here goes Hog Wild when he starts getting items.
One down bottom.
Saksa back to business here, getting the setup for the team.
Oh, try and fight into this here with a BKB.
Look at the Tera Junior, but the damage coming out from Watchtower is destroying LaLol
just dead.
Tried to get in there to start some sort of play, but it's cost LaL his life.
Pantos as well.
Yitzar is going to try and try and fight over the Echo Slash, but he's got to be
careful.
The Tera Junior is everywhere.
Both Pantos and Zax are just so quick to set up on these lanes.
If you step out alone as Spirit, one of the two of them, they're going to be
to get the setup on to you. I mean, Soxa is just such an incredible player. The guys at TI
win it for a reason. TI finalist before that, he is just globally respected as one of the best
four players of all time. Any team he's on immediately has the potential to be one of
the best in the world and showing it why right here. These sort of shaman plays are catching
spirit out every single time.
And look at the axe down collapse. So again everything down so who can get that
jump first. Obviously at this point though with
Yandex getting away with those last few plays and starting to build that lead
13k advantage now. Definitely still a chance that
even in these fights your spirit are the ones to get the jump. Yandex they
could still walk away with the win in the team fights.
They're that much stronger right now and in the last few times
We're just seeing what's that he's finding these positions to just get to be this turret and deal insane amounts of right click damage
Without anybody being able to close in on him. And that's only gonna get easier almost as the butterfly completed got a massively
Impact Kez's ability to fight him as you tore by the blink dagger
That almost feels like you know, we need to do something now things are getting out of control
Yeah, just what smoke up and just go all in on someone and I guess from spirits perspective
Ideally, either the Ember or the Nature's Prophet.
One of these two has to die at the start of the fight.
Otherwise, it's probably not going to be a fight.
The Spirit is going to have a good time taking.
An Ember, he's got the shards.
If he has Bioback off, he can just infinitely Bioback and whip to where you killed him at.
So maybe you just need the Furion with no other choices.
But even that's not easy. They've got saves.
Yeah, I'm just saying he's got that butterfly now.
Spirit, put the smoke.
They're actually playing very defensive though.
They're waiting for that Roche to spawn, knowing they're in pole position to move toward the
grand finals.
Surprising everyone, I don't think anyone expected them to be the ones moving through
the upper bracket, but they're on the way.
The Hunter might just become the hunted, as this time round spirit is starting to get
a bit wiser to the plays that he's attempting to make out in these lanes.
They ensure that he does not get the jump on them this time.
It's a very short roast timer, so that death could have really big impact here.
If he doesn't buy back, it's going to be about 30 some odd seconds where he's
dead and roses alive if they do check it and if they do head in Kaz being Kaz this
rose will die pretty quickly we've seen what that hero can do but they're not
checking it yet just assuming it's not up because it is so fast but you know
what happens in years soon you don't get a rose
it's exactly the case here time's gonna be there for Saxon to get back in on
the action. Oh, noticed. Notice the air spirit and walked away. Now back to the position with
most of the crimson and the pipe that might stand bit of a better chance even if Kes does
get on top of him. And all the meanwhile Watson continuing to farm has infinite keep
So he's everywhere, all at once.
Neither team ready to head back into the pit quite yet.
I would assume that this time,
both teams are gonna want to have a say about the Roche.
And both in prime position to do so.
So you make the jump first, coming out from Yandex.
They want to look for the wraparound.
And understand that Spirit is likely to be waiting here on the high ground for this Roche play.
This hill, they do have undying so they can take over the area decently well, but it's
not what happened last time they tried to attack in this area.
Because it looks like Yandex is sort of waiting for Spirit to maybe go for a smoke wraparound
play themselves.
Scouting with the trees.
They want Laurel.
That's the jump.
Straighten they go.
They get the opening stun.
Into the hex.
They manage to catch Laurel.
The box will come out.
Buying time for Laurel to get out of this.
Come out by his time for loud to get out of this one
Rue on the front of the fight though
He will not escape them and children is doping your toes ready to turn it with raptor dust
Here junior there's the buyback play you talked about backing on the action slight change on towards you Toro
Saxa steps up will get caught by a silence for your Torah
He's in trouble has to back off with the parry
To junior can he continue to chase on towards your Torah your tories out with the blink your Torah will survive
Maladine Saxa, they've got the handstone on Rue, he brought back for this, there's a dieback on the Spirit Breaker
The fight, it's gonna be Mdex's, it's our lucky to get away there and we saw you had no hesitation right?
Chiraginia immediately ready for that buyback move
I think you probably went a little bit too ham there, doesn't mean you necessarily need to die
They're killing them in the fact going in too many different targets
You definitely want to stay focused in these fights as that will impact his item progression
It was very close to BKB now, pushing that away a little bit, but...
And we'll see again.
Entrances into the fight, very nice and done from Notice.
Good save from Panso, though.
Ensures that Lyle gets the chance to play out the fight.
And Chirichuni, as you say, just...
They're a very aggressive start.
Manages to rectify a little bit with the buyback, but they couldn't quite get Yatoro.
If they got Yatoro here, it would have been completely disastrous for Spirit,
but as it is, Spirit's still with a chance in this game, as Yatoro survives.
survives. Spells, something, his boots I think and has MKB so it can deal with niche profit
a little bit better now, but Spirit Raker's still dead and they are banging on your front door.
Let's have a look at what they get here. Just the Barracks falling. Spirit forgot anything to
stop this. Doesn't look like it, they're just gonna have to let these go.
It wasn't the trees. Thank you.
They'll get it. Full set of racks taken.
Still very much could look for more here.
Yeah, just unsure of Junia.
With everyone alive though, I'm not sure how keen they will be on just straight up teaching.
Whilst not having the Aegis, if he gets lassoed and changed on he will most certainly die.
I guess there's a cart now though from Stempar, so maybe that dynamic has changed.
If the execution is there, maybe...
New stage will be enough.
It's a panic soon on Watson 2, so he is pretty much 6-flotted.
7k above the kez, that's a full tier 4 item.
It's gonna be a difficult hole for spirit.
Definitely still with more of a chance than they had in some of those last fights in the
game one.
And it's not going to be easy with just how well Yandex as a whole have played these
moves and how great Watson's positioning has been every single time.
I cannot seem to touch this nature's profit.
All three of his deaths were keeping into those early fights since then. It's been immaculate.
Yeah.
Swipes scouted them out.
And there's the job.
To find the spirit break here in the trees, the box will come out here again.
Panto trying to bail him out of this one, but Panto will die on the back lines.
There's the damage of Watson.
Watson, start to back away now.
Yatora is going to turn.
Take down Malady.
It's going to sprout though for now and it cannot help Lyle. Lyle gets taken down.
Yatora will get the raptor dance off, but they're ready to just chase the Chess out of the fight
and jump forward into the extra saxes there. They've got the lock down on the Yatora.
He's got triple kill for Watson and he's ready to keep it going for Koyer.
Whoa there!
He's going to end up in the fountain. He's going to be able to casually walk out.
It's not picking a lot of damage, but he's fine. He gets away with sort of
just tanking the fountain for a good few seconds.
Okay.
And he's ready to get the push back on here as Yandex another easy teamfight win for them and Spiritnana position where they got three heroes out of the game
They do not have to buy Vax, Yatora he's sure 800 gold or so for his, he's out for a minute
A lot of damage is going to get done by Yandex and they might even just be able to close up the game off the back of that one quid
You can't kill him inside your fountain, you definitely can't kill him outside the fountain
fountain as this is mega creeps through yandex and they might try to go to
jugular as well let's have a look they're gonna realize I think that this
cares ain't fine back into the action anytime soon the mega creeps out yandex
they came well prepared today and they just seem to have spirits come up
both of these games spirit being just playing from behind the entirety of it
and never we're able to really get that lead back in their favor the
The ancients exposed, they've only got the three of them left to spare, they're gonna
try and do something, but the Tombstone save comes into play, Stampede is out, Lolo, Triumviral
back to the safety of the fountain, who managed to get back there.
The Lasso does grab on a watch and a notice, but notice, he's ready to pick Watson up,
keep the nature's profit safe, Gigi is called, this game is over, Yandex are gonna be
moving on to the Grand Finals, taking the series 2s against Birk, and you can
They're from Saksa, he looks very cool and calm.
This is another day in the office for him.
Playing some shaman, getting some insane jumps throughout the entirety of this game,
catching out Spirit time and time again.
Spirit just not quite on their top form today, it fell equin and Yandex, they punished that hard.
Big smiles from Watson.
He had a fantastic time. Him and Chiratunia, these two cores, they just destroyed Spirit.
14-3-14 on the nature's profit carry, 14-3-18 on this mid-end, the spirit, the spirit they just could not keep up.
They couldn't, that early pressure, that solo kill from Chira, bottom of massive amount of space,
gave them a huge early footing in this game and Yandex, showing that they're a force to be reckoned with,
not just some tier 1.5 push-over team when they fight the big dogs, they walk into the hound and they say,
this is my turf now.
Yeah, they really do. And some ways to see them do it as well, you know, not being afraid to
to still put the nature's profit on the carry position and coming in with some of these support picks that we're not really seeing other teams do.
Saksa really showing off his capabilities on the Charmin.
And then even without Undying coming in, we saw clutch stuff from Malady.
It did indeed make it very hard for a lot of this game, the Spirit, to find the chance to fight into Yandex.
They couldn't really do it when the Sundying was about.
Now some very creative last picks, 5's from Yandex.
Not something they've been seeing very often, but they make it look great.
and they take down the Kings.
Yeah, they really do knock in spirit down here.
Yandex, they'll be the first ones to take their claim
in towards the Grand Finals.
And you could have let me, Dr. Strange,
like a 50,000 different outcomes to this series.
And I think this would have been
in a pretty small percentage.
Not necessarily Yandex winning.
I could have seen that happening.
But Yandex winning in a 2-0
in this dominant of a fashion against Spirit.
This is unexpected to say the least.
You have a story of David and Goliath, right?
I'm familiar.
Yeah, I feel like...
Goliath always wins.
Exactly.
But every once in a while, the slingshot...
...or slightly.
And I feel like today, their draft slingshot was made very beautifully.
They...
I just feel like, Spirit, as a team, they are extremely good
when they know how to put their heroes together to, like, play their game.
And Collapsed Batrider to me is not that, you know?
I feel like in game one they have Collapsed on the Sampar,
but then Laurel is on the Viper,
and that's like, I feel like in both these games,
one thing didn't work out for them.
I'm not saying Laurel Viper is like bad,
or shouldn't play it or whatever,
but I just feel like these things didn't come together
the way they were supposed to.
But to be honest,
Chara Jr. kinda gave Laurel the treatment.
Yeah, he did, he did.
There was some, you know, negative comments
about your junior after what happened in those grand finals at last time against
the tundra game number one game two and three they kind of crumbled but now if
they can beat teams for it to an O and guys the limit pretty much they're pretty
good I like the combination between two of the supports you have tombstone you
have shadow shaman with the words who dropped down these two and the fight
that is kind of over unless you're gonna be able to reset like just putting
those down means that you are taking that fight. You're kind of committing and
then Team Spirit question is whether they can reset and in a lot of those
situations they could have there was like one I would say big team fight for
Spirit. Again them baiting 16-17 minutes in into the triangle with a blink
dagger on Batrider they get a kill and they get a triple kill actually but
other than that Team Spirit they've been silent. I feel like this Kes also
has been heavily answered. It seems like Yandex ever ready for this Kes
to potentially come out, picking up this Shadow Shaman, as we said, like this is a good response
to have something to always catch him, and it worked out amazingly for them.
Yeah, I think as a whole Sokso was, in a lot of ways, the MVP of the game.
Like, obviously the course performed admirably, but I feel like he was there consistently
getting a bunch of kills.
Um, I have some clips of that.
I don't know if they're ready or not.
Jumping down a little bit, but I have a couple examples of Sokso jumping around
the map, getting huge amounts of kills on the map.
Uh, here's Collaps going for like a little bit of a cut here.
21 minutes and look at that. Sox is ready to go for the talent that Amber slightly misses and then consistently Watson also shows up
So despite him Regen, he's supposed to be Regen a huge amount
Just a little vessel plus roots means that hero is just not very useful and even in an example like this for you
Toro jumps on him. This is crazy. Crazy money. He'll come in out there
Ends up keeping him alive. He may be at the shard here or something so you can use items while he was in his
buster or whatever thing but like he was just all over the map grabbing kills on
the map of disabling opponents layering things and we saw the same thing when he
played his previous series as well if you like helped to win them that crazy
game against the tinker like his shaman is really doing good stuff yeah and like
all right hold that thought in stania because we also want to talk to the
other support on a yandex malady what a series man what is going through your
head right now as you have two-odd team spirit and made your way to grand finals.
I think the things go as I expected because we had a couple of screams against your spirit
and we were kind of crushing them during the screams.
Really?
Okay.
Well, so then have your scream performances been accurately reflected with your other
partners?
Like the three-game series against Tundra or any other teams that you faced off
in this dream league?
No, it's not exactly.
I think we only screamed against Team Spirit, like maybe Na'Vi and some other teams, so yeah.
I guess all these works with Team Spirit.
It worked out really well. I want to take you back to Game 1. I want to take you back to your 24th pick.
Could you tell me a little bit about what motivated the Dazzle idea?
Was it your idea or someone else on your team?
Yeah, it was my idea.
I kind of forced my coach to pick 16-17 double supports so I could have a last pick so I could carry the game on my own and I chose the Dazzle.
That's a bold strategy. How often does your coach go with you whenever you're like, yeah, yeah, give me 24th pick, I'll cook, don't worry.
Not very often. I have to convince him really hard, so he could make this decision.
But then whenever you do performances like this, he's like, yo, remember last time I won on that dazzle. Let me do it again. It's working out well. I'm going to pass you on over to Purge. He's got some questions as well.
I'm dying as a whole. How was Undying feeling to you as a support after this patch?
I don't know why I didn't feel it during the game.
I felt like it was a good against Spirit Breakers, because the strength hero, I don't
encounter strength heroes, but I have nothing to do against the wave pooling, so yeah,
it's kind of shit.
And during the game, there was zero presence of me in the game.
I think my team won, like four versus five.
What about the other undying facet? Do you think it has any value just got buffed?
The other facet I think it's good if you have some strength heroes, but
like
Did we have some strength heroes? Yeah, we had Centaur. I think Centaur doesn't need to heal that much
I have to heal the
Ember spirit and fear and they don't benefit from the strength from the other facet. So I
guess it's only one option to play
the green facet zombies all right thank you all right malady we've seen you in
this position before in the grand finals tell me why this dream league grand
finals is gonna be completely different than the Chengdu blast finals that we
saw you guys at last okay guys I'll try to convince you yeah during fishing we
got first place during last we got second place so it's time for us to
get the first place, finally.
The logic is found.
How can I argue with that?
It all makes sense to me.
Do you have a preference for who you
would like to get first place against of the team still
remaining in Dream League?
I think, extreme are playing very good right now.
Finally, China.Dota is alive, and we also lost to them
during the group stage, 0-2.
And I think I want to take my revenge on them and meet them in the finals.
Hell yeah dude, I love to see it.
Malady, congratulations on getting this 2-0 vs. Spirit.
Can't wait to see that third second and now first place become a reality,
but that'll happen tomorrow.
That's it for you for right now.
Thanks again for stopping by.
Thanks for inviting guys, goodbye.
Pleasure's all ours.
Thank you so much.
That is the light, that is the confidence that I like to see.
And, you know, just, uh, just wrong numbers, actually.
So a little bit emotional, but the logic makes sense.
Third place and second place.
I hope he had that going at TI.
Yeah, this year.
You know what happened after second?
Well, I mean, never came back, but he, but he got the first at least one time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then I'm just saying you can't argue with the wrong numbers.
Maybe you can.
Maybe you cannot.
I don't know.
Six, seven.
Yeah, I think that I'll remain optimistic because the more teams,
The more new competition I see emerge in the scene excites me.
We had no idea who PartyVision was 13 months ago,
and then they started sweeping the entire Dota scene by storm.
Now you have OG, Maus, who else was overperforming.
There was one more team that I'm trying to think of.
Maus, now Yandex as well.
But it's a very good design for the healthy scene as well.
We don't want to be seeing Falcons,
out liquids for example in every single Grand Finals.
So you don't want to see that, right?
No, we don't want to see it.
It just brings up different environments, I would say.
We saw the previous Grand Finals in the last one not being as competitive because they
weren't really ready.
But coming into this Grand Final, it does feel like Yandex fixed some of the issues that
they did have.
And I think, overall, mentally, that they're going to be in a much better place.
I'm also convinced that it is consistently new players that are rising up to prominence.
Like, Watson Malady, they've had their chances. Sox obviously,
thorough veteran, but Chira Jr. and Notice, proving that they can go toe to toe.
We were supposedly witnessing Laurel Prime, Chira Jr. smacked him around.
Yeah, this was like Beta Laurel. I don't know what was going on today.
Spirit Chefs didn't make his breakfast correctly or something.
No, it wasn't.
Because this wasn't Prime Laurel. He'll come back. I'm a big Laurel believer.
There's also some old player throwbacks too, like obviously this isn't recent news, but
like no one going from basically being top of the scene to being really struggling for
a really long time and now he's like top five again.
There's a really good healthy mix I feel like the last two years between brand new players
and some still existing players and also some comeback, so it's been fun to see the mix
up the last couple months.
I like that a lot and I feel like it's inspiring to imagine a world where like
Let's say one day, there is no team liquid and the players split apart.
Okay.
Like what might happen?
You know, like how many more new, because I feel like, okay, you have,
socks I went to Yandex and now they're, look at them.
Like they're amazing, obviously.
Uh, no one with party was a kind of the same thing a little bit.
Yeah.
Uh, and then it just seems like if you can get one of these really experienced
old school players to join kind of like a fresh squad of like motivated,
driven players, what comes out of that?
You know, what kind of cool thing can you create?
I also think that's partially a special socks issue though because he
Consistently dumpsters on teams that are underdogs. Yeah until they become like the favorites and then he's like, I gotta leave this team
I feel like that happens with him. My work here is done. Yeah. Yeah, it's like too much pressure now. I'm out. See ya
Well, we got to see a Yandex snack upon a team spirit, but we actually had some other
Meals being digested. Can we roll a quick clip of what our panel was up to earlier today?
It is edible, there is a couple of them.
Everything is edible.
Yes.
One.
Let me try it off.
There's quite a few pieces missing from that.
Oh, it's not bad.
That's good.
I picked up to this.
I'm going to make two supports that can do well with your project.
That's the second one.
To me, it's just can VP keep it together and what did they talk about after the last
year?
It was an absolute disaster.
Yeah, I mean, if you look at this, it's just a far-fetched lose.
That's a self-front right there.
What did they pair it up with?
I forgot.
I just had lunch slash dinner, I'm full.
Lacoste, if I can eat 25 cookies, you're 24!
My head was a big gap in between.
Now I'm debating, in my head, like, did OG just level up that much from that?
I had to pass that trade.
And a single elimination.
These are all the same things.
Yeah, that was yesterday.
Nice time.
But he's around the same hour.
Relatively tilting series.
Now we get a chance to see how Tundra...
Every game that I watch, I'm allowed to eat three cookies.
So I said to BCM before the playoffs began about what
Yeah, good
This is this morning
Like the general better it's better
Yeah, we better good work purge on your analysis and your question continue
This one's just acting those ones are good
But you're not like
That's not the same
That's not about to happen at the end of today
It's a happy day
You guys finished your house my son. I just ate a rudder
We're in your black period you eating your son
Holiday eating that's all yeah, yeah, I think a gingerbread any other time of the year you guys know gingerbread in America
No, we do does it not hit the same why I've never actually had the raw dough before I guess
Bread is better when you make it fresh see in America
We have this magical thing called chemicals which we pump into all of our bread set it lasts for like two months without molding
I see which is very unique and special. That's why they call you make it fresh
The food and the corn syrup as well. Oh, yeah, that's sweet. Nothing wrong with some good corn syrup
It's the Food and Drug Association
Administration because we synergize the foods and drugs into one thing and make
Masterpieces now we got to see you feast on some cookies Lacoste
Do you know what you're gonna be feasting on for the next few minutes because we got a little bit of time to kill
Before our next series. Oh, I heard it's something special
special game in my heart.
Maybe you should wait for your turn.
Wait for the turn?
Wait for initiative?
Alright.
Wait for a little bit of a game play because we have a little bit of time before our next
series with DOR.
We're going to keep you entertained with some card games coming up after the break.
Dream League Season 27 is brought to you by DHL.
You and me, we could have been happy so easily.
I've got it alive but take me back to the sea
I'm always loving you
Now and then
I'll take out a chip but I'm fine and wet
There's really no kick and coming home again
I'm always loving you
You ought to believe me, believe me
When I'll just move my mind
Drink to me, brand to me
It's not my romantic needs
I really just can't take these lonely nights
Stop with your fire, the time's right for trying to make up an end
With our fights, till now it's me and me
We're happy together so easily
But if I need you to be me, I'm always loving you
You oughta believe me, believe me, and I'll just speak about my big, romantic, please,
These are the romantic, these real dramatic, these lovely nights.
Hey, it is the back!
DJ Spinna, DJ Willy B's in the building!
Road with a Colosseum Road
And the grand music drum roll
Love is everywhere
So meet me up there at St. Peter's Square in Rome
On the seven hills that's Rome
The Italian thrills, cause life is alive when you're roaming in Rome
Rome, where the tiber flows yellow
Michelangelo's in Rome, the eternal town of the inside and then all things Latin grow.
Like a symphony, it's home to the bourgeoisie who put the goldman romantic at home.
It all burned down as Nero just fiddled around but right here, right now, 2,000 years on,
there's still some way strong in one where the fashion king's all gone.
Welcome everybody I know this is exactly what you've been waiting for but I trapped
these two gentlemen into this room with me to do one of our favorite pastimes of them
and the other 20 to 100 people in the world that still play this game.
Slex, would you like to introduce us?
Ladies and gentlemen, Gavin told you about it.
We are ready to make it a reality.
It is the $1 million Artifacts Tournament right now.
My friends, so excited.
Now, Lacoste, you and me are some of the only people who still actively play this
game.
from time to time for a good reason. This is one of the best games ever made. No cap. I'm going to
give you my top four. It's Dota, Dota 2, MTG, and artifacts. Maybe throw in some heroes of
Mife and Magic 3 in there, but that's about it. Oh, god damn.
All right, time for you guys to focus. All right.
God damn, I'm dead. 31.
So I'm going to be casting this game, this epic Dota match here. We've got a Necrophos,
Legion Commander 1v1. Now, John Whipples is Sir Action Slacks here.
He's gonna be playing the red side. He really likes doing voice lines
Now it's the time to strike and the way the artifact works. It's kind of automating
Hero combat
Okay, okay at the end of every combat at the end
You basically you get a choice to spend your mana on spells
You can only play spells of the color that you have the hero. Oh
Who's who's still got there who's still got their alerts up slacks. It's you
You're alerts. Can you turn your alerts off? Yeah, yeah, get the camera off for me, please.
You just have to go. C-Tech played 20 hours recently. That does check.
Oh, I get the camera off of me, I said. Okay, anyways, we're gonna give you the
ignite and lanes. We want to kill your Venom answer. To me, come over there and
I hit go offline. Is that okay? Yeah, that'll probably work.
All right, great. All right, guys, now I would like to talk a little bit about our decks
Here is that possible? Should we keep this? Yeah, I'll get there. I'll get there
Okay, okay, all right
You need to focus on your decision-making obviously because you are a very high-level artifact player
But you get to you get to place hells every
And at the end you fight
Some creeps kind of spawn randomly here and you get to choose where you place you here
Now this is a huge deal because Lacoste doesn't want wants to put his tinker in the same lane as
John whipples his conduct because he can one-shot it. Oh, that's the same lane Sax is choosing interesting
No, I'm just kidding. He doesn't actually know which lane is which so he's gonna
Maybe get a match against Lee you got pretty lucky here. He also got these arrows. Oh, yeah, right?
One of the reasons this game died because the average player really did
Losing the 25% chance here. Oh sacks can use a viscous nasal goo on the tinker
That's a permanent debuff for the rest of this entire game
And then we also have a heart sufferer being put on the tinker still tinker's having a bad time
Minus two armor is a big deal guys
And this one's a bad one
Bristle gets this kill at the end of their surround bristles gonna get two armor for the rest of this game
Okay, okay, can I spend this way so this is my favorite one? I won't I'm gonna punch her face in is that one on a
That's great. Can you guys play the game?
Yeah, we're on it.
Anyways, Slax actually has things that he can play,
because he has slightly earlier game abilities
and stronger gears.
But Slax, Lexu, you might find it frustrating
that Slax is picking all these strong red heroes.
Yeah!
Give me that.
Give me that, man.
The reality is that his decks are so weird
to create a weird game state that is fun.
So he needs to beat you up the first couple of rounds,
But later on some goofy stuff is gonna happen. So he kind of needs to abuse like this this way
So what were you so excited about that happened there?
Boss could you explain it? Oh my Venno did spit on his Venno and I have ignite
So I one shot him before he could do anything and now I'm in a big advantage
Do I want my ogre to die in a mid lane? Probably not
Come on
And when you do get a hero kill you get five gold and at the end of the lady and sage
You get a shopping phase here and you can see John Whipples purchased two items from the shop
The cross does not know what they are
He also looks like he made a purchase himself. He picked up a really powerful item that I won't reveal
Because I don't want slacks to hear auger has the best one that this game has insanely good
They are so good on the voice. All right. All right stop or is about to proc so we do to a we damage in front of tinker
It's gonna be pretty cool
It won't be able to kill the Legion this round. There is a chance
that we see a spell that clears this legion commander before anything bad happens.
There's five mana available to spend in this lane as the game continues.
And he's actually going to equip the cloak of endless carnage.
What an amazing play. Plus eight health.
That means he's going to survive this combat.
And he always said, I next to him, he's going to get to draw a card.
Very powerful ability.
Bask in the light of the raiding.
I'll hit you with that if you don't want to go.
Bask.
I need to think here.
Give me a second.
What's, what's, what kind of hard decisions are you making?
Basque bro you keep this up. You're in a Basque says he could basically use that card in this lane or he could use it in a different
Lane that is more important
Confliguration very powerful card. Oh, let's see what he
What is it? That could have been a really powerful card. He basically had complete RNG here
Damn that's good that applies leave
Means he's gonna do two damage to the tinker book cuz tinker s-2 armor
That's actually 4 damage, and now, unexpectedly, that Tinker is gonna die.
What a huge swing for John Whipples. He truly is a master of this game.
Wow, a nice heal for the Necrophos, Sadus, when enemy heroes are dying in front of him in his health.
Terrible hero, not very popular.
Young Gary Oldman, definitely going for some goofy stuff, but his build is a little disgusting.
He's added some cards that, dare I say, aren't anti-fun.
No, we throw on lightly in this in this Dota house. Yeah problem is I don't have
But he got the armor on his bristle lane one. It's not gonna do as much gonna deal one damage to his legion
Let's see. Oh, that's a third one
Vesco's nasal do
Nice kill for the neck for so he does get a heal out of that. You do want to keep your condo alive
He actually spawns an extra creep in that lane and that I'm sorry Kanna Kanna
What's which one's this one? Kanna Kanna Kanna here will spawn all of the lane creeps in this lane that she's in
Maybe some days she'll make an appearance in here
Well, how does this game end birds? Oh, that's a great point
Yeah, cuz he didn't deal a single instance of he actually did four damage, okay
Well, you do have to kill two towers is one way or you have to kill one tower in one lane
And then the throne after which will spawn after it's but the throne has 80 health
So it takes a lot of time to kill one lane, but you certainly can cheese those lanes down
Dare I say cheesy builds part of the reason this game died. Hey now. Let's relax. I have a lot of great memories
What do you mean died died?
Of course still lying right now. That's true. That's true. You could also join this now here comes the the power struggle that
We're gonna see from young Gary Oldman because he has so many cheesy
Easy strong late game cards. You're gonna see some dirty things begin
I'm feeling it
Is gonna lower the armor of his opponent, but also lowers his armor
So he's actually punishing himself a little bit from the cleave. He possibly made a mistake here didn't expect
End up dying from this, but it's it's just my costume here
So will he use one of his cards he uses them he doesn't use them later
That's kind of a big deal. He's doing some math here checking how much damage would this guy take if I use this card versus this card
It's not enough for none of the options are very good if you place that other card that costs four mana
That's not good. You're cheating. That's a bronze legion guy that guy's very strong
Those creeps so he went for the you know, this is the best I can do option which is gonna be
killing the Venom for free and
And unfortunately, Azuz still almost dies to this, which is 8 damage from Pleve.
Why does she have 8 instead of 4? I'm not even missing.
Oh, it's 8 damage, because it's...
I have the item that gives me minus 2.
And it is very smart for him to place this on the 3rd hit.
There's so much crap over there, and there's Akana, so...
That means all the creeps are going to spawn there, and they are going to die.
Every creep you do kill gives you one gold, by the way.
Oh, young Gary Oldman!
16 gold in the bank.
That's how you buy good stuff.
Oh, no, bro.
Doing a little bit of spectating to see who's coming up soon.
He's trying to make good decisions about where to place his heroes,
but Slax is also going to be having a new hero be put in the game shortly here.
Could really change his fate here if you man it.
And it's actually really important that Slax gets his blue heroes down
Because he he's gonna need to play some cards on our blue punch
That's a lot of
Yeah, that lane is looking tough. Oh look at that card in the middle
He would have loved to take that but unfortunately for him
He just hasn't been slain heroes and creeps
Sacks forced to make this option. Oh no, why are my two creeps going to the right man? That's the RNG
That's what you don't want. Yeah, the creep randomness here. He got the 33% into the 33% chance
He doesn't need more creeps in this lane because he's already probably one that you'd prefer to have those melee lanes
And you know what some people would say the people that liked artifact will say you know what you can adjust your build to
Accommodate for these rng elements and the average player would say no this is not fun
I didn't see the third lane is my Venom gonna spit on his is it enough to actually kill it?
Ooh, that the A.W.E. damage just...
Oh, no!
Prelex is gone.
No.
What do you mean, like, she's going to die?
She's going to die.
Oh.
Yeah, she's cooked.
That's unfortunate. Did she get placed next to two?
Yes.
Oh, no.
She got placed...
Look at those odds, bro!
She got placed next to two Plague Ward,
which do piercing damage at the start of the wave, so...
There's no way!
That means he's not gonna get to cast any spells,
putting Prelex down,
and Young Gary Oldman will get five free gold from that lane.
It's just the downside to those low HP heroes, unfortunately.
No!
I know, it's a tough one.
That's upkeep damage.
There's literally nothing he can do other than give her some kind of a buff from a different
lane, but I don't think he's got the right colors for that.
Green can usually do that, but not blue and black.
Oh, wait, why did you do that?
Oh, I'm disarmed.
Oh, wow.
Great play there for some of those.
And now the Legion Commander cannot attack this room.
And here's the opposite of that here.
Alright, how's the start of this comeback go a little upkeep damage?
Bristleback does not get touched at all from this one, but a hard decision to make here.
He's got two heroes that are looking pretty good.
I have the special one.
The Stonehall cloak, very good.
Very good item.
Gets more health every level.
Ooh, and the keen folk musket do two damage to a target.
It's got something cool going on.
He's just waiting for Sax to take his turn.
And the wrist tool is wall, that's more minus armor which means he can kill these creeps
Instead of doing 2 damage to him in 4
Ooooooh!
Very smart of John Whipples to wait until Young Garoldman used all of his moves
Before he decided to use his spell
Now he's left with fewer options about what to do and in fact
His Necrophos is probably just gonna die
Spiritsleback is definitely holding his own
Oh we're in a move of power!
Young Garoldman is gonna take me back to base
No bro! It's so good.
I mean, it wasn't too bad. He still did a lot of damage.
Still did a lot of damage to the ogre.
Yeah, that lane is over, so there's going to be an exposed agent.
If he can do 80 damage, if nothing else changes here, he's got about four turns before that lane gets lost.
Younger or Oldman again going to purchase an item too. He's going to the mid lane.
That's nice. That's what I want to see.
33% in my favorite this time and that venom word spawns to the right because that's where the venom enter is in lane
That's how that hero works. All right. Let's do the math mid lane
How much damage he's gonna take we switch change the camera to slacks his perspective right now?
It's a very interesting. Oh, no, right? Well, it'll just show us where he plays this
He was making a very hard decision here. Where does he spread his forces to prevent dying in the right lane?
But also
He wants to win this other lane if he thinks he can win
From hundreds of nearly 12 HP that was the wrist tool item lowering her armor by two because she happened to be in front of Zeus
This is just bullshit. This is an upkeep build here, bro
Your meadows also cut in the last lane. He's gonna die. I'm actually gonna I'm gonna call it
Yeah, this is a this is a tough one. This is the upkeep damage is a little bit too strong
That's gonna be young Gary Oldman
Taken a fact I mean you guys want me to play it out. No we can we
Okay, the deck is called mr. Tosser
Renames is back to viscous nasal goo because you spit on me three times
The RG. Let's get I I want another one. I want another one, dude. All right, bull. Do we have time?
I think we have plenty of time send it in those home. Okay. Okay. I've got a good deck
All right, Purge, help me out with the deck.
What am I playing pick something that's less cheesy or good this?
I don't know.
And that looks pretty meta.
I can't believe Mr.
Mena, I'm very bad at saying I played artifact with Lacoste for like four hours,
one tournament, let's go out the gig of meta stuff.
And I immediately stopped at random Lacoste.
Don't even look at it.
We're going with that.
Sure.
That's the card deck.
So we got some.
Variety no in the last deck it was all about spawning creeps. There's a card called
Ogre tosser he tosses creeps when they die and deck doesn't work without him
Yeah, just RNG. I have lost that deck before it was actually very is a fun deck
I ain't seen anybody else utilize that card very well. It's very bad. Oh
Well god damn. It's Pogna. Take that hero
He doesn't actually he's not popular. He was a rare card when the game came out, but um, oh
Oh, what's going on?
Oh, it's the improvement deck, huh?
That's right.
I can actually see the cards.
Welcome to Towers with Towers, my friend.
Towers with Towers.
Oh, that's OP.
Burning Oil.
Never seen that before.
Burn one.
Two of those.
Two of Burning Oil.
It's like Blade Mail for your Towers.
If the creeps attack the Towers, they're not going to take four damage in that lane.
Oh, no.
This is bad.
He's now put down the Oath in the mid lane which is going to give all of his creatures
their 4 damage, but he can't cast spells there anymore which is a pretty big negative.
So we'll see how this ends up working out here.
Uh, young Gary Oldman is trying to get a thought for where it would be best for him to use
this.
May I make a comment?
Chad, all of his voice lines are unbelievably toxic in this game.
Once, I won my game.
Oh my god.
Good choice to put the ignite in the mid lane where he's gonna have the most trouble. He needs some defense there
Luna very popular hero in this game that you're all probably familiar with if you played for the two weeks
Oh, no, the two pieces going man. Are you kidding me?
Those things are gonna be six fours. That's a lot of damage
I do like this deck from young Gary Oldman though. It's he's playing some abnormal heroes other than the axe and the
Luna
Hey, it's Triennel, so it was popular.
Mazzy is a very similar to Timbersaw.
That's right.
Very high armor, kind of low HP, and can reduce damage taken by towers.
It's kind of a fun card, but not was not viable when the game was popular.
What the hell is your stinker doing in the mid lane?
Dude!
What is that?
You gotta be kidding me.
What would you prefer if he hits a tower?
Yes.
Alright.
Really?
Okay.
Actions have consequences.
Ooh, the Salmanes favor very well, I shouldn't have said that out loud, my mistake.
The great card for ramping your mana up faster in certain lanes.
So now, Lacoste's got to decide where does he need to get his mana higher faster.
In fact, one of the ways that balanced this game was allowing for the acceleration of
mana.
And the purpose of accelerating your mana so you could play these really overpowered
cards that were high mana.
The downside is that to combat this and make it balanced, you had to make almost
Most every deck have very overpowered cards, but sometimes that was anti-fun, it's hard
to say.
There's the Omex Arena great card.
Mega low arena, you've never seen that card.
It's not very popular, but when his axe dies he will get to draw a card as a result of
heroes dying in this lane.
So that's not the worst.
The Omex Arena.
It does matter.
Once I was like you, pathetic.
Ooh, a good counter taunt here.
Now Luna is a very strong hero.
She says he lies this why not well they're gonna die the retaliation. Oh, I think you should
Every time she stays alive for an upkeep his eclipse gets a little bit more powerful, which is very strong
For the scope of the end the left item is completely random by the way
The middle one is his prepared deck and the right one are consumable. He's going in my boys going in times
You can get really lucky quick
We do a quick switch to slacks during this drafts. They're just the most interesting part of hero placement
John Whippels has got to make a very difficult decision. Where is he gonna put the Zeus?
He's really struggling here. He's currently thinking about that lane, but he doesn't know exactly where Lacoste's gonna place his heroes
Truly, you don't know that I'm gonna have him left. That's right. That's wild. Is your left the same left is the real question
This can't be this can't breathe
Thank you for that. Now I'm sure you guys are all having a lot of fun. You might be
wondering how much does this game cost? Is it very expensive? Well, I'm happy to
announce that it used to be very expensive and now it is completely free
to my knowledge. But, Jamie, I love this game. I really do. I'm critical, but I love
this game. My heroes are not supposed to die. These are like nazi and treant.
Yeah, yeah. Usually there's something you can do about that one. Oh,
There's the very powerful card from from John Whimples who's looking to protect is a vantage
Conflagration two damage to every enemy in the upkeep phase
All right purge, you know what's up 5050 in the right lane. He's my Luna gonna kill his chin
I think so. I think you're you're gonna have a good shot at that one here a little a we damage being dealt from both sides here
Now one thing about that over ignite is it actually just piercing damage what piercing damage means is it ignores armor
But only does one on the other side conflagration to damage very powerful, but if you get to armor
It nullifies the damage. So there's a little bit of counterplay that they can do here. Oh my god
My young Gary Oldman, this was the random item that came up
It was the bracers of sacrifice originally was a techie suicide vest
But that was patched out because it was seen as too violent
That's from an unnamed source. I don't know if that's
the obliterating orb you can destroy one
improvement from the enemy. Young Gary Oldman is looking to abuse that. No
multi-cast. That's an advantage. No multi-cast. That's true. He could have
multi-cast him. Please don't hit Chen. Please don't hit Chen. No! Oh, the 50-50 was
lost. He could have killed the Chen, preventing John Whipples from using any
items or spells in this lane. What have been a huge moment of momentum for
Young Gary Oldman? New shot. We need this. Oh, the perfect item comes up.
He's going to need that. It's very effective at dismantling John Whipple's strategy. We'll see where he executes it.
No, please.
Three heroes ready for John. I'm seeing young Gary Oldman. Let's see where he places these guys.
It's got hard decisions to make. Now spreading out the colors of your heroes in each lane is oftentimes a very good strategy.
It allows you to cast whatever spells you want, so to speak.
So a mix of each is very good. Otherwise, you can get really stuck with a lot of cards in your hand.
And of course not off opportunities to play them
Let's take a look where the sniper ends up he's going into the mid lane
He can use his headshot ability, but he cannot cast any black spells in that lane
Now as expected young Gary Oldman has a nice advantage in this lane on the left here
And there is the oath in this lane with the Zeus but because there are no black heroes
it doesn't activate. There has to be a black hero that is in this lane to my recollection.
Now young guy Olein is going to pass. This doesn't mean he doesn't want to cast spells. It just
means that he's comfortable with the current game state. He's trying to see if John Whipples
will be doing anything. He's again comfortable with the decision. John Whipples is also okay
and they decide to move to the next lane doing a little trade here. Now we're going to switch
the opposite perspective here and here was a great opening move here by young
gary oldman he had what is called initiative if you look in the upper
left you can see which player has initiative gets to go first and he
decided to use his initiative to do a bunch of just cast a spell first that
would clear the board. Preventing John Whirlpools from having fun and thus
contributing to the demise of artifact
Oh, no!
No!
No, stop!
No, please!
I need it!
Which currently is pretty close neither team is good at hitting towers
That's what it seems like, but we've seen the hands of both of these players and it's very clue clear that one of them
I forgot. Oh, that's right
The glyph of confusion the improvement that nobody ever plays. There's a good card. It's a good card in the mono blue deck
It's gonna slow down his
Response to the slain so the pugnum doesn't get to do anything here, and I believe he also can't play his red spells
in that lane as a result of the pug to mean stunned so at least plug in does not
die. Oh my god.
Is that how you're choosing to spend? Oh no you're waiting for young Gary Oldman to
take his turn of course. Take your turn. Now young Gary Oldman has a couple choices
and what he wants to do. He can place these where the double Omex Arena
in the same lane incredible
but i don't know if you have to make that i don't have it
he did not have an issue so was not a big deal for me not let it go
my boy over a week out of spell that
john whittles could use to instantly get a kill in his lane if you so wishes
he chooses not to do it i'd misclick
and said he gives up his initiative
as a result of your old man could just dumpster this entirely i thought by
He's gonna choose the suicide
He could have lasered that ogre actually prevented that from happening
Now you guys have about five minutes left before this game
This time baby a 50-50 will just play this one off because this is the last time
I mean hurry up artifact an abundance of a hundred more than a hundred sets of eyes
At least do voicelines while you're destroying me, I think.
Even the random goofiest neck the young Gary Oldman ran was still strong.
You can't hide to each other as if the towers are speaking.
Under Secret's very strong card for drawing cards.
Ooh, this gold could change the outcome of the game for John Whipples.
a very strong item at the start of the game and it up getting nerfed it was too strong.
I got a lot of cards and you got a lot of cards. I'm cooked.
Uh oh. Well, that sniper is tanking on the mean in the mid lane that's for sure.
Alright let's see what John Whipples does here. Two creeps three creeps being stunned.
Axes on the tower he can cast spells he's got initiative here.
It's got to make some some tough decisions about where he puts this he's looking around seeing what the best off
What about the right lane the mid lane doesn't do shit left lane is kind of right lane you get it's gonna do something
It does something yeah, put it there. You know, she's playing a green blue deck
He's gonna try to cast a lot of spells over you kill him. He's gonna die now to up
Unless young girl then finds a solution now here's the easiest way for John footballs to win this game
And there it is
25 gold item. I'm just kidding. I said that's try to scare the cost
This is why Axe was the most expensive card in artifact.
That's right. Back in the day.
Very good at clearing creep waves, but that armor is pretty nice.
Ring of Asilius banned from there.
That was before the nerf. He had three armor.
Those three really? Yeah, it was three armor.
Oh my god.
That good one slacks. That was crazy.
Three armor, you know.
That's insane. All right, little damage being dealt here.
Who's got initiative? Oh, does kill a creep.
I gave him initiative so we could end.
I love it.
put an item which means uh slacks cannot spend he also can't cast any of his spells because he
put on the oath of the unseen he's gonna head shot that creep die which is fine he got a gold out
of that but now a little overkill but he did it didn't want to cast any spells that he couldn't
cast not cool bro he gets to do tower damage now he's dead the one thing that slacks did this
round here was insure that death hey at least i didn't kill the other one and now his towers
It's not looking good for Slax. He's losing two lanes here
Play an incantation of Selma you can play any card in his hand now, which means
One of those moments in the game where if you get to this much mana the game is supposed to be over and you know for the average player
It ended up feeling a little bit
I love it so much, but it adds some flaws
Yeah, I feel like you didn't get the value out of your oath.
No, I didn't.
Sure, you hit once in a mid lane, you got two creeps, but my boy Ogre, he was all about
that block.
Yeah.
Yeah, the oath's pretty much over.
It's not Ogre yet.
It's not Ogre.
Well, your tinker's about to be stunned, is it not?
Yeah.
Okay, it might be Ogre.
And then you can't cast any black spells like assassinate.
Wait.
He doesn't even cast it because he has oaths.
Just wait.
Exactly.
Cast the other colors so you can't cast black is that how I actually I know like pretty much a
Lot about this but if I use cell and mani and then it gets stunned will it actually get propped
Well, I have an extra mana for glyph. I
Don't know actually
What you mean by glyph a glyph of confusion will trigger
Will the heroes or will the creature still do stuff? Yeah, never mind ogre is you can't play because he's done
Right now we would time a trap the oh hell no red card. Oh, I think an eye
This poor armor for HP and cleave
There's the Thunder God's wrath doing for damage to every enemy hero very good way to not letting your opponent have any fun
While playing artifact this guy's Q
He layer a couple those in the same round
Your phone is just doesn't get to play the game for sometimes five to ten minutes
Just enough damage to hold mid lane, that is actually gonna buy an emblem.
That's right baby.
Oh where's your hero over the cost?
That's gone.
Oh the Salamani can't cast spells.
She is just like a free damage creep.
Pretty crappy actually.
Alright there's once again his salvation is here.
That's gonna win the game for him I can tell.
Come on baby.
He does not have initiative.
Alright, let's go!
Alright, you're cooked!
You did not see this one coming.
No!
He's got an initiative.
That means he gets to cast a spell before Slacks gets to react.
Let's see how much of a reaction this is going to cause.
Stuns on the new heroes being dropped in.
Oh, he went for the suicide.
Which worked out very well.
And once again, Slacks is lost.
I must bow I must bow to the greatest artifact player in the world
Perfect timing to end this one
Gigi slacks Gigi. It's the beautiful game. Thank you. Happy to see it played
It's like going back and playing a game
from 3,000 years ago
Last of this is a good this I bet you did. Did you have fun slacks? No, I will never play again
Okay, I had a great time. Of course it's artifact. It's the greatest game I've ever made. I love it
So yes, I did get dirty destroyed, but literally art of the cost of probably top three of total players
And best players so if I'm gonna get beaten at least it's by the goat. Thank you very much
It was a great game. Thanks for watching. Thank you. I'm sorry you guys had to sit through that
That was for us three and nobody else in the world
Thanks for tuning in. We'll be back in a little bit with some real Dota 2

Hey, very good evening
You're watching Greenleaf Season 27
And we're here for the final series of the day
One more elimination series
So one more team to go home
We're gonna have extreme gaming. We're gonna have para vision. We're gonna have a fresh panel and before we have anything from them at all
We're gonna have in Stania. Tell us more about this upcoming series. Yes. Thank you
Um, I wanted to highlight the two supports you guys are there. Thank you
Um, I feel like today we have like the matchup of like kind of an old-school support and ex-nova and a more
New school support and the call list and first I want to take a look at their heroes
You're gonna see Warlock, Chen, Ringmaster and Tusk.
I feel like out of these heroes, the one he will most enthusiastically play is Warlock.
It really fits like what he wants to do.
I think Exnova is a very much like spell casting type support.
He wants heroes where his spells have high impact, and Warlock is just that.
And then next up we have Dukalis, which I think falls a little bit more into like
the modern support player category.
And I think for him, his most enthusiastic picks are definitely Chen and Jikiro or Pugnaven.
He's more of like a laning specialist that wants to rotate to mid, he wants to pressure
around the mid lane, he wants to move his hero on the map and kind of makes some stuff happen.
So while he does play Warlock, I don't think it's like as enthusiastic for him and he
fits more into like the snaking category of wanting to scale, get some items and
put those to use.
So yeah, that's my highlight for today, that's what I'm going to be looking at
in the series. I feel like whichever one of these two manages to accomplish their own personal
goals better is what I got. My eyes are open.
Because we definitely have seen both teams kind of develop their own style, obviously also
coming from the supports. Going into the series, Zefi, welcome to the panel.
Thank you, thank you.
How do you feel about this one?
I'm pretty excited. I mean, extreme gaming are always fun to watch when they're cooking
and they've been on the up and up. Like, they are looking better and better every
they're playing a very aggressive style of Dota and the standout thing to me is
while they've been innovating this like semi-carry play style from Amé
bringing him to fights early like activating him they're also still really
good at what they're famous for defensive and late game so right now it's
looking like they can do both and FY seems to be back to form at least that's
the propaganda I'm pushing he's been owning he's been ganking mid he's
been getting a lot of kills he's been active around the map so I'm I'm
I'm curious to see how that fares against 9-class as well and that support category.
Yeah, yesterday's performance that he had on that work, it was pretty insane, like him and Aame,
like coming back into the fight with like 15-20% HP and then owning the whole fight,
maybe a bit of a misplay there with Dragonite missing the stun, but can't take it away from FY.
He's been known to take a lot of farm back in the days, like he was the one who was like
scaling pretty heavily as a support, and also I think these type of heroes actually benefit him
a lot if he can get to his 8-os and then you see he's not building it to like more support items
He's going for the agonim Scepter on Muerta. He wants to be the one dealing the damage
Be super annoying for the back lines as well
But I agree with your point that Amé has been very active and there was a game where he played Windranger
He actually TP'd mid to help NTS when he was level 4 on Windranger, which is no other carries would do that
Yeah, so it's so fun
I did a presentation earlier during greenling on this and I was like Amé stays in his lane
he's gonna hit his screen, he doesn't move, people come to him and he's like, oh he said that?
I don't think he's wrong, I don't think he's wrong.
The cast, the curse.
Yeah, literally.
They're obviously like, they're changing, that's why.
Yeah, I mean, I'm a big fan of their team.
I think it's one of those teams that like, when I was playing, if you lost, the ideal
scenario was like Spirit or like XG or a Chinese team win.
I was like, because you felt the least bad, if it's like one of your fellow
European teams, you know, some Falcons, Tundra, always things a little bit extra.
So always been a fan of these guys and I always cheer for them and now it's like a
bit more pure. It's truly enjoyable to watch them and I think like it's really
cool that we have such a big mix of old school and new school players playing
at actively at the same time. I feel like it's something that we should
really cherish before you know maybe some of these old school players start
dropping off and we lose them. I agree. Yeah but I think extreme gaming
is mostly old-school.
That's what I mean.
If you have a matchup between like satanic and both spectrums, they're still both playing.
Because Paravision has a mix of both within their off-game.
That's true.
But isn't it such a nice thing that all of these old-school players in extreme gaming
are changing the way that they play?
Because a lot of people seem to have the opinion that play styles and players are
inflexible.
Koff Koff, not calling them out.
Someone was telling me that if you play a certain way, that's who you are.
And that's what you do, Quinn!
And things like people can change.
And if streamgaming are still competitors, they want to win.
Typically when you think about AMEI teams, people are always like,
oh, Ultra Greedy, Hyper Carry, no one else can shine in that team.
But that hasn't been the case.
He's been very content to take a step back.
It seems like the last few days, the supports are very heavily playing with NTS,
which is not what we see often.
Abandoning AMEI to help NTS,
they've really shifted in a direction that is working for them,
because that is the meta.
That is the optimal way to play, and they've adopted that.
Yeah, we should also talk about how Paravision has adapted because I think this morning, for people that missed that match,
Kez is going to be addressed one way or another.
Oh, actually.
I feel like that was just dirty what we saw this morning.
It's insane. I think like everyone who's watching the games are like, people are like, what's going on?
Like, what is this damage? Like, there was a club from the other day, when he,
they much one shot the Mars with one spell, he picked from 100 to zero.
And he's like, same, like he's running around, he doesn't know what to do.
And then in this game, you see him like basically one item.
Like he has Desolator, he has Butterfly, with Alacrity, with some like Solar Crest.
Suddenly he's killing the Barracks instantly.
Like you, if you're not in your base ready, if you don't have the Glyph,
you're gonna lose the Barracks immediately.
It was thousands, like I don't even know what that damage is.
We were in the green room like, I'm like, he has one Deso, he has one Deso,
Butterfly, Desolatonic, and they're actually going like faster than Lonegood.
I feel like, you know, like somewhere at home, Koikva is watching the stream,
he's like I wish my bear did this you know this is what my bear is supposed to be doing
yeah this is definitely we saw it in the series after that as well
still not to the same degree I feel like as we saw coming out from satanic though
that was that was that was crazy is it big enough is it strong enough to just remove it
because it felt like para vision we're like you know this is our straw right now and
good luck dealing with it because you can't I feel like kev falls into the spot of like
He's a very very good hero, but he isn't quite like you don't really want to replace one of your set bands for Kaz quite yet
And it seems like this hero
When it shines it shines very bright
You know when you get them to have a solid day in your face like this jacquero Kaz combo specifically or
If you don't get jacquero you go for warlock seems to me like the best way to kind of enable this hero to have one of those like
Snowball performances where he just looks like he's absolutely owning but I feel like Yandex also showed like some nice answers
They had the Rasta you mentioned it on the panels on the cost like any sort of entrance done
And you can just burst the guy because he is very much like a glass can and type care
Yeah, I'm still looking if this is gonna be something that the puppy vision is gonna be playing at this one
I'm leaning towards a vision. Yeah
I'm gonna be leaning towards lion f y you know famous to play lion as well back in the bays
Shaman, one of his most played heroes. I think you need to have that something that this hero is gonna be afraid of once you jump in
But provision they've been also like a team that utilizes Chen nicely. This is the D Chen team
You know and because they know how to play with it
You did talk about the supports X-Noa not that big on Chen and then you also have
DM from the offline who loves to buy these auras and so does Chen so you have two auras at the same time kind of
When he was playing Enigma, he did go for drums, and then you have Mech coming up from
your chin, and then you kind of have two auras crimson, maybe five as well, so 20 minutes
into the game you have four auras that you can bring to the table, which is kind of scary
to play against.
I just for sure, especially for a team like Extreme Gaming that can sometimes stumble
in the early game, that's what I would look towards, because when they've been
playing this really aggressive style of early game, it's looked good.
They were even able to withstand a 10 draft yesterday.
They went through the hard parts, they picked a really cool hero for X-XS2 games
in a row and I think that player will be the key here. It seems like whatever pick they
can get for him though. Why are you smirking?
Nothing, nothing.
Aiden smirks because I won't say it.
I'm not, I'm not, okay. I feel like you guys are huge XXX fans.
Yes!
Oh yeah.
I like them a lot as a person. He's really fun to hang out with. He's one of the few
Chinese players that actually speaks English.
He's trying really hard to learn it.
Yeah, no, but he, he's shy on camera. Off camera he speaks a lot more. But
I personally feel like NTS, Almey, Fy, these guys are like the heavy hitters on this team.
But they also had a way longer career.
No, they're like almost the same generation at this point.
Yeah, X-XS is like, not 3, but because he started to play when he was 12 or something.
Yeah.
X-XS is 26.
Yeah, there you go.
Fy is 30.
He's got 4 years on him.
I'm not going to say he's a little younger.
He's just basically probably...
As one of the X-XS biggest fans, you know...
I just want to finish the point that I think he's looked really stable really consistent
He's had like for example
He had a night soccer surprise pick when everything was picked out
He won the vision game versus the support Slark from Ari yesterday
Like he feels like the kind of player you can give anything and he will make it work and having someone like that on your team
Is pivotal regardless and who's shining the most and my eyes it has been ex-excess, but we can agree to disagree there
That's fine. That's fine
Yeah, I mean, I feel like the big question mark for me between these two teams is just
going to be how far ahead will Pahri be out of the lanes.
Because I think between these two, I expect Pahri to be the stronger early game.
Like if we talk the first 10 minutes, it's not just flat out painting, but just the
early game theory of how they use 9-class and how he's going to move around to just
disrupt whatever game plan XG has.
I think that's going to be one of the main things.
But I feel like supports in this series especially for me is like super highlight.
Yeah.
I'm not sure if I like this Coddle 4, I'm gonna be honest.
Like the game when he was playing against Florida, she liked it at the later stages of
the game, it's good to refresh him, your refresh your Ember, Abaddon, anything feels good
with the combo, but in the lane, like even the second game when they were playing
with Centaur in the lane, it did feel like he was racing against lane, like they
almost had the same amount of CS. This is what Caudill does. And DM as a player, I think
he's very flexible, because he's kind of used to not having anyone in the lane. So he's
kind of used to be on his own island. Caudill does the same things. It kind of fits the
profile, the type of the game that they want to be playing. But I'm also really not too
convinced. Once we go to mid game, I think it's fine, but at the early stages, it's
kind of mad.
I guess it depends on where it slots into the draft as well, because for example,
XG ran a Tinker yesterday and if you're 4 versus Tinker as a Caudle, you're gonna run into really big problems later on in the game
Where you'd rather have something like a monkey king who can out him and stun him
But yeah, I don't want to say the Caudle super early because it does feel exploitable
But how he did make it look good today. I feel like I feel like against like
So the thing with Caudle is he's like is essentially zero pressure hero in the early game
He does doesn't really do anything. He'll stack camps
He'll bust our waves and he'll kind of draw him up state out like he'll defend his powers
Guys like that blasting the ways I had to take it. Otherwise, it would be denied
Of course, that's like the dream support, you know, like
Yeah, the leaves warlock and chun I feel like those are like the two heroes that will be
looked at
The reason why warlock is ours in two
Sorry, I think the reason why warlock is also gonna be highly more valued is because of the share tango's nurse
like the carries they don't like to buy regeneration warlock perfect hero in the lane to do so like
he can just throw a heal on top of you so you can actually buy items and play a bit of a
carry from the previous patch just don't buy regen
any slaughter enthusiasts want to speak on this topic yeah i'm a big fan i feel like this hero
even after these nerfs, even though his puddle got bigger for whatever reason, the hero was
like the hero of the previous patch. I feel like, sure, you have the flex pick, of course,
between the mid and the off lane. And not the biggest fan from the off lane, and I feel this
hero has quite a lot of bad matchups. And if he's shut down in the lane, especially that
keeper of the light game, the reason why I mention it is because you can't really farm,
like this hero doesn't farm as quickly, and you're kind of stuck in a very weird spot.
But overall, I'm a big fan of Sardar.
It's more of a no-one hero, right, for a party.
Yes.
And MTS kind of always plays temple mids.
Like, he doesn't really play these, like, vipers and huskars,
and he doesn't even have, like, the Malraying Hero pool.
So maybe this is something they went through and prepped,
and they're like, oh, look, they don't really play anything
that's, like, ultra punishing for Sardar.
And we can kind of get it through for free here.
I think Slardar also just enables their Kez idea if...
I would be surprised if it doesn't go contested here, taken by XG and by one of these teams
because their physical advantage amp is exactly what Kez needs, that hero is way too versy
on the physical side.
So the Abaddon ban for me indicates the desire to potentially want to play Kaz as well.
It feels like one of the heroes better in that job.
It also covers, I feel like if I'm Warlock and I'm leaning against Abaddon, I lose one
of the main things that I provide for my team, which is the fatal bombs on the lane
and the pressure that comes out that way.
It's interesting.
There goes the Ursa, Ursa popular against Kaz.
But I feel like if you're probably, again, this is so telegraphed that for sure you're aware.
Kez has to be like a conversational topic for them right now, whether they think they
have answers to it or if it's worthy of actually giving a ban.
Because I think in the second phase you can kind of spare a ban for it.
It's just kind of a tricky ban in the first phase.
Other heroes that usually get banned aren't in Centaur and Sardar quite good against
Centaur.
The negative armor helps you cut through all that passive health.
probably like another reason why the value of the sword are quite high here is also to
not basically like soft them the centaur against extreme or tell them if you want to pick it pick
it but we have a good match up over to go back to your point maybe they taught you know these
vipers there's currently sitting up with the at zero percent limerite the viper it was nts who
played it it was army who also played it this is the hero that is considered to be a counter to
But they're still gonna ban it. They're gonna remove the Viper just in case because what Slugger wants to do
He wants to be running instead of fight the stunning and then resetting Viper doesn't allow him to do that
This also to me signals even more that it's like no one is like I don't want to chase them my lane
I don't want to deal with it guys. This is the only hero. He has just baddest mine. He's like
He's pretty happy about what just happened. Yeah
So I think on the 9th class list of like, run around heroes, Nyx is number 3.
When it's not Monkey, when it's not Stark, it seems to be Nyx, third option.
I'm not entirely sure on why this hero is so popular, but it's quite decent at pulling
waves.
I feel like if I'm Warlock and I'm hitting Nyx, I don't really like stop him from dragging
waves so he can get away with that quite easily.
I think the idea is that's a good pick to deal with NTS's hero pool.
Like, he's a really big on the Spirit Heroes, especially Ember.
Like, the kind of mobility-based heroes he takes
typically get countered by Nix to an extent,
until they can itemize against him.
I'm down for Shaman or Lion.
Like, even now more, if you don't want to pick kids for yourself,
both of them are great against Nix Assassin,
where you have, like, ways of killing him instantly.
This is the old-school counter to Nix Assassin.
with the hex he doesn't get the carapace off. Let's see, well joey has been cooking. It's
a lot of team fight. You just these two heroes, you have golem, you have tide hunter, low
pretty big cooldown heroes. That's one thing. That's the downside. Back to you, sheaver.
Where is it back to me? I'm trying to recognize the song. I think I know it. What is
I think it's from the movie might be from the
Is it the Tarantino movie or no
No, I think
Either way, I'm gonna go back to the draft
I'm happy to see Shadow Shaman and Tidehunter. I feel like those are the big winners of the patch so far
We already saw some next assassin before tight hunter, obviously having a great win rate and shadow shaman
We stopped with the great success in action. Yes, it wasn't yesterday. Was it a day before it was a day before?
The reason why I like shaman as well. This is the old
Chinese strategy where you have like you need heroes to protect the shadow shaman this type plus shadow shaman has been used throughout the
Years with within the Chinese community just to be able to you know give some protection because this is the D hero
That's gonna get jumped in a fight. I also think within the draft
picking Shaman in the state protects your tide as well because a lot of teams have this idea that the hex breaks talent is the way that you
Deal with tide hunter later on so you take that away from them as well
This looks very old school though
I feel like actually you've been owning on the new school drafts and this is like falling back into old
Yeah, but I think this tide in theory is really hard to kill. I'm just looking at all the bands you have monkey
He hangs out, up against Hyde, Slark, decent against Hyde,
a badon quite good against Hyde,
Ursa very good against Hyde,
and Viper, one of the few heroes of that as a break,
also out of the pool.
So it's like, how do you actually kill this Tidehunter
if you're party?
And I feel like this Envo is a bit of a swerve from them,
because we saw earlier today Envo against Viper
and it looked kind of fine.
Like, I don't think you would,
if you knew you were picking this Envoker here,
You probably were in a band the viper in the last stage. This is the old-school counter
This is pretty much poppy against Joe 8. You could but this is basically the way draft has have been working since
This is the one yeah, pretty much like this is pretty telegraphed
You have like static storm against the decide hunter you have ways of setting up the Sun strike as well vision heroes
You have good ways of also providing vision for the team with Nick Sassan and slaughter and then you kind of have a guaranteed glimpse back
I love Lush. I actually feel like Lush is one of the heroes. I always when I'm sitting at home watching streams
I'm like they should have picked Lush. I'm always thinking that to myself, but twice now today
I've seen Lush into Invoker, which I personally don't like at all. Oh
It sounds like I know which movie you're thinking of
No bill
Not at all, it's from Kill Bill.
Is it not?
It is from Kill Bill.
I just heard it.
The thing about this lush though is that this is where the next disaster comes in, right?
This is like a hero that if you rotate to then Voker, he will help you kill this lush.
If you get the characters put up into the impillage, it really shows that this
nix and this plot was so good versus NTS's hero pool.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't get the lush at all.
For me, it's almost on the tier of like draft throw pick, you know, like why?
I don't see any logic behind it.
Yeah, against Invoker it's not as good, like having mana burn, all this control, you have
the damage.
Throughout the whole game you will have ways of killing this flash-rack quite quickly.
Sure, they have ways of counter initiating the fight with Warlock, with Tidehunter,
but if you catch them on the side, like if you're the one who's initiating,
you can definitely kill this guy.
Maybe the idea is they just want to do as much damage as possible within a ravage
So you've got like the fatal bombs into the Lush Rock
If these targets you're seeking to kill them before they kill you like if you're setting the pace in extreme gaming
It looks good, but in terms of map play it doesn't seem like a comfortable Lush game
Yeah, exactly. I mean in a fight where he can like kind of time his initiation and go in on top of the ravage
Yeah, he deals infinite damage
But I feel like the thing with Lush is Lush will always give you that regardless of matchups
So, what are you looking for in order to spend good matchups is, what else can you give you?
What can you give you more than that?
And I feel like in this game, that the secondary value is tricky to find.
A lot of carries being banned out too.
And this is where you have arguably two of the greatest carries in the entire world.
And they're going to have to reach deep into the pockets, because a lot of carry
heroes are banned out.
They were toying with the idea on me.
Well, please, I played 15 different heroes in 21 games.
You know, this guy is just like whenever you play against
Joe, you need to have massive hero pool.
Like if he's a hero, you kind of need to be able to play that hero.
So hero pools need to be massive.
Lush carry it looked okay ish when OG played it, nothing too crazy.
I think we have someone on in view.
I think pure that this that he thinks like there are very few
players that actually understand Kerry Lush and he thinks like himself maybe
Nisha maybe Mick are the only ones and I kind of agree so this was this is quite
curious because Kaz went through all the bands nobody wanted to ban Kaz yeah
and I feel like it seems to me like extreme kind of cave this was like a
you know like a standoff Mexican standoff or like who's gonna pull the trigger
one yeah yeah and because both the drafts are kind of designed wrong I
I actually think Lush is quite decent against Kaz, based on what I've seen.
So maybe that was even another, like, we picked this to prevent that from coming out.
But eventually they just cave and pick it themselves, because they're like,
we're out of actual options that we want.
I think this game's gonna slap.
Like, look at the lineup from Paravision.
It is all about stuns, all about control.
Very simple, very easy to play, especially if you can get the advantage
in the side lanes with multiple stuns and the sun strikes.
because you have basically four ways of setting things up for a Sunstrike in the fight.
This might be one of the best Sunstrike combos that I've seen,
aside from maybe having Shadow Shaman on the team.
Like Miracle wishes you the same thing for sure.
It's quite scary though, because it feels very lane dependent right now,
which I don't particularly like too much for XG,
because Fire are comfortable playing against Kha'Zoth's draft.
Like, they stun him, they stun some of the disruptor, he will die.
They have damage, and their last pick, DK,
He's a very tanky hero versus Kaz's impressive physical damage, and he has no amplification
so then his team, outside of Gush, it does feel like XT have a slower kind of draft which
they haven't thrived on too much.
If they can withstand the lanes, I think they'll be in a comfortable position, but if they don't,
this game can spiral very quickly.
I agree.
I feel like this Lashrack will need to do some heavy lifting because two supports
can really deal that much damage.
They need someone else to deal damage, and then you have Titehunter who's very
slow as the hero.
He's also not the damage dealer, not the offlaner that's going to be rotating, having
helm or whatever, putting the pressure on the lane.
He wants to be pretty static.
So it needs to be him.
Maybe it also needs to be Ami, level 4 teleporting around, helping out him.
I really hope not of these things.
But I will say, you guys expect us to dance and I feel like if he can manage to survive
static storm, it's hard to kill him.
Like this tide, there's like, there has stones, right?
And there's a tide.
Like he does not get stung.
That's his one thing.
Now he has the splash on the spell thing with lifesteal, so I think he's even tankier.
If you don't have ways to kill him, so if he can manage to survive static spawns,
I think this fight could also present to be a huge problem.
I am hearing that we're going to have an action packed game,
and we're going to have a fresh set of casters in Cap and SVG for that one,
and of course, those of the PUBG partners.
A fast tempo, that's what we want to hear.
The Atari Edition at first was extreme. I was promised an action-packed game, hopefully, if they will deliver.
April, we have the, uh, not quite overall last pick, but, uh, second to last pick in the Kez.
It seems like the panel feels like this Kez is already pretty well-addressed.
Hell no.
You don't think so?
It's the Améi Kez.
Yeah, what's the difference?
Can't spell Kez without E. You can't spell Améi without E.
Hmm.
was born to play this hero that's true three-letter name that's right I think
he's Kaz might be the best in the world question mark the panel is just
made up instead with a lot of conviction but the pin just buys it's insane he's
never gonna say anybody's guess is better than the case
I'll say it I look forward to what on I can do and they see her this game I
I think if you can get to a solid BKB timing, he's a god in the fight.
I think this Tide looks mega broken. I'm kind of on... I see what actually got cooking up.
The one thing is I do think ParVision are a difficult... stylistic team for actually to play against.
Okay, so I actually had a thought here. ParVision.
I'm starting off with a triline, so we might see a little bit of first blood.
In this matchup, Tidehunter vs DK, I feel like you're not likely to get a kill.
Sure.
And ParryVision, 9th class is going to do his 9th class thing and he's going to use his boots to go cut the wave.
And Warlock can't really do anything about that.
Nope.
So what would you think if Extreme swapped their supports with the Shadow Shaman in this lane?
against the Nixon assassin who's going to be doing this and then put the Warlock
into Tidehunter lane and just let Tide play a CS battle against you.
There's some logic in that but I don't think it'll pan out that well because
Warlock does not enjoy playing the off lane. You can't get experience and you
don't want to stack with this hero because... Why not? You just you just you show up the
lane, shout a word, then you look up to the jungle to go stack. I mean you
can do that. In theory they should be aware of that and you just auto block his
back and then they just need to use this lane or you're going to be level one forever.
Rolok rather play in the safe lane. Everything about his kids is designed to
push the lane out of Buu's heroes and go for the pull. He's bad against creep
pulling but it does mean you're gonna get solo XP on Kes if you want to give
it to him and you should eventually be able to secure small camp once the
Kes can rotate over because he doesn't have the grapple and kind of join
that fight and prevent the cut from going off later on in the lane.
I think you just play for that.
Okay.
Then we have our mid-match-up, nothing to say, on four denies already.
At least one of those was a range creep deny.
He is doing very well.
There's kind of two of the ones in Voker.
No one does have the forbidden in Voker cosmetic though, that's pretty cool.
Yeah, what is this ghost face he's got going on?
There's a puck version of the two.
has I forget who. It's from that one event where you get the special mega secret loot
box arcana whatever you know that that should pay for one up gave y'all. Looks bad ass though.
Does. But if you lose with that then you're just embarrassed so see the pays off for
no one here. As the lanes are going XGs way the creep pulling continues bottom, both heroes
are free farming top. This mid could be the difference maker, particularly if you can get
ganks going into Invoker. I always say gank Invoker. I try laying this guy. He's so susceptible
to early game pressure and it makes such a huge difference in terms of his trajectory
either going to hell or the Midas.
Oh, man!
Nothing to say is just ruining him on CS.
He's cooking him in his lane.
This is not a lane that should go this bad for Invoker.
Especially X-word Invoker who can get pretty high base damage up early.
Just straight out CS right now.
Flagbear tonight.
Does he have to get that range creep too?
He did not.
This really opens up midgakes though.
I would like to see FY make the movement or the clutch TP mid
We're locked not great at it, but your other support can definitely work for the killer. Yeah, again, it's the tight hunter lane
I feel like you could leave him alone a decent amount. So
You should have the freedom to do so
But if I receive rotates disruptor rotates to
That's gonna be your first blood nothing to say gets it and they can't go for the kill on nothing to say
They can't even go for the kill on FY. FY's gonna kill the invoker doesn't even have his innate pop
Great rotation from ex no, but not an obvious play to make as he went random bottom water room
Then had the TP to the tier one to get there in time
But makes the difference. I even get the water room bottom if the impale gets juke. Oh
Okay, he juke sit but he unfortunately is not quite fast enough to get the water room anyway
But he gets a lotus from the warlock
So that load is going to go into the mid laner. Okay, pump that Lush rack up good rotation from XG
You could absolutely do this again
At the six minute power room or even earlier if you really want to put the
Screws into no one here in this lane phase such a large lead opened up just from the 1v1 mechanics
That lightning spam is strong
We're seeing Lush rack go the
The, uh, the treads built up with a chronoptic nourishment or whatever.
He's going to be killing.
So these are already chilling for us.
She I mean, they can lead the Kessler.
They can lead the tide alone.
Yeah, run around the supports for a party vision are a little low damage really early on.
Kind of need to land some sun strikes or at least get the starter to six to ramp it up here.
and Deda also would help, but that is a long way away.
Yeah, that's the part I do not like about Parvishion's lineup is I do feel like they are a bit,
I could see a world where extreme roll then in lanes and then if they invade and take the wisdom
shrine, you're going to be useless for quite some time, right? You have two supports that are
pretty dependent on their ultimates, particularly the Nix's ass. And because he has this
combo with the invoker like the invoker is not online if the next assassin is online, you know
You can definitely be slow. I don't know if they're losing wisdom shrine would slaughter down there in a
Sunstrike threat that would be it the crazy claim from actually would break the game
I mean it would be a less rack rotation, right? Maybe yeah, it's really hard to fight into him
If he gets a good room, you can do it. I think
I will say the 5 man Horex G is very strong, that's where their lineup shines.
Shaman Tide Warlock, you have Golem, Ravage Ward, if you go in the Roche Pit start doing
it with Kez Deso, you have all this teamfight behind you.
Nix really suffers against that.
So the slower this vendetta comes out, the slower you start finding pickoffs, the
affection you can just 5 man.
Nick's pick can block fire. You can exploit the weaknesses of this hero
Get a little lie here. Yeah, maybe we need to change the game servers here
See if it can settle down
new patch, baby
7.41 just like that the people asked for it
Yeah, and that pet the patch they're going to bring back pango
Say one week is is too long friend. Oh, it's a prize
They're like, don't you guys miss pango by now?
Largo Arcano!
Rock Band Largo.
Coming soon.
Can you just glift after the lightning?
I have no idea.
I think you did.
Losing room.
Not the most potent.
Just trying to kill this enemy catapult
and stop the wave building up so...
Doesn't get dope. Knows the supports are lurking around here.
Do you have the firepower to stop this play though?
Catapult survives.
Fullstova is online and...
...FY going in for the jump.
Yeah, now that Nick's assassin is already used to spike hairpace,
he's gonna be clawed out and nothing to say just runs him down very easily.
Night class.
I don't think he entirely thought that one through.
That's it. Bokershot beat too hard in the one on one.
And outlaw supports are rotating over to the Wisdom Shrine.
Nothing to say is he's going to cut this wave and he's...
Is he going to join his team?
No, they're going to come back to him.
Kill the next again.
Kill the next again. Okay.
This background, if it's on the spike here,
Payson does manage to make a run for it.
Still shot down, but the trade off for the Lashwreck is well worth it.
The supports come back into play, put a little damage on no one,
but no one's so much needed experience.
to come back in and they caught up a wisdom shrine on parry vision.
Not like this. How do you lose bone shrines there? You lose your midlaner.
Supposed to be a free Nix's ass and kill instead he's level four. Your lush rags dead. Both the
supports just standing around mid. They have to go for the kill on the invoker again but
can't find it. Now this feels a little forced at this point.
Well, they did listen to you. They did try and land the invoker.
It was all great until it wasn't.
Find the Nyx again.
Glimpse back, but it will not change the Nyx's assassin state yet another death for him.
Not having fun against this Shadow Shaman.
You can steal the stacks with the Bonds damage, and this Midas for the Invoker is a long way
away.
It's still a very solid early game from XG, the thing about making the right plays, even
if you've messed it up, it's still the right play.
I'm not going to see this too often.
I really game a 2,000 net worth lead for one team, while still having an experience
lead for the other side.
Those Wisdom Shines doing work.
It's also mostly just been Nixus Asimov.
True.
Three deaths, nearly 8 for 9 class.
Zero has a couple weaknesses, one of them is the early game.
Dias middle tower, it's under attack.
Smoke up top for the supports on the side of XGN.
There are six grimoire charges on Exnova.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
Him being involved in some of the early kills.
Effectively, Golem is online.
if you can find an opportunity to use it. Probably a big factor as to why a pair of
them just vacated this lane. Mass Commanders Dragonite does not want to go down in this
time period. Well, he might go down anyway if the FY could have caught him there, but
Satanic. Quick enough reactions, he's able to get out in time.
Any class going to try and soak some XP?
Do not want to show or you get doughed.
Shows.
On that fly I'm charging at this guy.
No way I want to let Nix get XP off the map right now when he's so weak in his entire
team's base in the jungle.
I assume that my class, I assume that they saw each other there since he spiked Carapace
but maybe not. Teleports mid. Try and get that stick somewhere else. Yeah, just imagine
they didn't get double wisdom, sure. This would be like a level 3 mix. Get the shield room
for the Lashrak. That's the only thing you can just push this mid lane in with as they
They flank it again, and this time they're bringing the big guns.
The scan is there, but it doesn't really change the fact that X6S is just going to be able to
sit on this tower, and they have a let's rack that can quickly do damage to it.
So outer objectives are going to fall fast in this game, to the favor of Extreme.
See how well Parivision are able to split the map.
creates space for themselves while they have their tumble's crumbled towers crumble around them
he's charging down the bottom yeah why not just go lane to lane easy golem drop no levels of gush
yeah not an easy kill so i guess it's uh just how it is i just want to use this
Earlier rather than later another next kill why not number four as the abuse on the bug continues
Very fast game production wind lanes three tier ones down old used everybody's getting farm
This shaman is getting a lot out of these nix assassin kills three zero three star for f5. Definitely heating up this event
He's just gonna rush in eighth or lens. He almost has it that is disgusting
This is not a hero you wouldn't be giving strong early items to
Incredibly powerful generally slow to get online can be slow to farm waves or jungle early
So the fact is this much extra gold to play with is just ridiculous
It's from the towers. It's from some of the Nix's assing kills
So in the slow start on the side of perversion, they do have the mightest on the invoker cooking
Dragonite will always out farm pretty much anybody in the game
So can't recover this deficit a little bit, but it's gonna be slow for the supports
Not really the game do calls was looking for on this disruptor
He has a value against hide and kez later on with the static storm, but
Not gonna be a classic. Oh, CIS disruptor game
Our vision lose the 5050 on the power room. It's a
East room for nothing to say so somebody's probably gonna die soon. That's the rune. He's been looking for its whole game
Yeah
But I think the runes coming up are arcane and region right we haven't seen those or maybe a little mix assassin kill
And it's like what you can hit the vendetta was that a cost of that is gonna cost them. Oh
I guess this is why you get a mix because
Dead as a skill shot now
Even if they hit the vendetta is that kez going
I mean, where was the Sun Strike? That play was just bizarre.
Yeah, if they hit the Vendetta and there's a Sun Strike to follow it up, I think they can get that kill.
Without the Sun Strike though,
Satanic, the one person on party vision who's getting formed here and they're willing to drop everything they have here to finish him off,
but he's not quite dead and the tornado is going to bail him out.
Wow.
He survived with less than 100 HP.
Can't feel it was so on point there to bail him out. Keep the Lush at bay
They will keep their Dragon Knight alive super important as he's ramping up this farm period
Are you definitely not happy with this early game, but it could be going a lot worse. There's kind of stabilizing it right now
Stacks for NTS, boost him up here, it's very welcome again.
If the XG heroes can get to PKBs, I think that's one of the biggest power points in this
game as 9 class round 2, he's not going to miss it up this time.
Almost got him killed with a Sun Strike whiffed and now Ami's going to get off his ultimate
still.
His kill is done and 9 class is going to die again.
What is with the execution for Partition right now?
It is completely lacking.
Those are two kills that, if they execute well,
almost guaranteed who's a stunster.
You don't even have to say well. It's not hard.
Click, click, stun strike where the hero is. Like they have stuns.
It's not connecting right now, that's for sure. Some warm up.
A little warm up action for Partition.
Though they should have warmed up earlier, so...
No one's gonna get a rod of a toes I
Would say theoretically that's supposed to allow him to play in some strikes of his own, but maybe that's why
So here I suck at setting this up over through myself
And if I miss all my own eight toes, then it's all me
No, he's got it see what party vision do with it here
I don't think they could just up a bar.
Round three bottom, but this time with this vendetta, it got scouted so we'll know.
Yeah, there's a ward sentry already sitting down and they're gonna jump the sardar as
he tries to kill that sentry.
Flash bit of damage from AVI!
Oh, grappling claw right on top of him.
And it's so much worse.
Instead of Nix's assassin dying one of the cores goes down and Aumek
8200 network now
This far our matchup socks against cats split earth in the golem with the fatal bonds trying to run down
Static the dragon tail stun might be enough. He's out of there. He's gone. That's just a game of failed ganks, man
it kind of is a
Gank the golem with smaller golems
They got them. Plus 100. No successful kill no one's had all game.
Like, straight up you know what's gonna happen. It's just a damage, it's just, it's honestly
just like an advanced test of math. You know how much damage you can do, you know how
much HP the hero has. I think they're underestimating the Kess armor though.
are all physical you're going into one of the highest base armor heroes in the
game and yes 16 you're a he has an absurd amount of armor so that's why the
matchup for slaughter is rough you can reduce it but good pick off get some
ass-tp rotations and I don't think they're gonna lose anything for it
well he has to call us from the ags crap here he is an axe man yeah radish
goes down. Catching the Nixon assassin at the same time. Good read there. Glips goes out.
Shadow Shalman is going to go into his form here for a second. Satanic just put damage
on X-X Dennis with the Alacrity and the Tite Hunter can't actually stand up to that. So
they have to wait until the Kansas here. Cancel now joining in though. Satanic already
at half health. Got the Bastioner. Crush! Stinked. Okay, not good for all made.
A making kill streak just being fed away as he thought he could take the fight
to the dragon I boy was he wrong had to play from TM they kind of sit there hide
wait let the casco in then jump him with the double stuns and the fact that he
had the bash primed up to he was ready perfect ready and waiting smart play
call from him not just to go on the tide there not the target they wanted
patience rewarding those that early acts like for the tide really going
Next G's way.
No.
Nice kickoff to start that all off from the invoker finding the lush before this BKB is done.
NTS is so close to it with the star he's had.
And it looks like it's a waste of his amp damage too.
Little sad for him.
Must they smoke up and get into some certify right now but 9 class going forward?
The rune gets shackled, DM's gonna intercept, crush and he's gone.
Need a little more lockdown in this xg mine either the anchor a you'll somewhere or something so
You could protect the shaman because the shaman goes in hex shackles a target
What happens when?
party vision disabled at shackles and they've done this the shaman there really isn't much instant follow
Unless you're willing to drop big old like you're willing to ravage
Better pull off some sort of slick move here. There's four heroes coming your way grappling club trying to get to the side here
non-class though. He'll hit the stun and they should have him. Okay that was a little close there. Had
to drop a static storm to ensure it. Fortunately gives the plus one kill there on f1 and a third kill
on ex-filba as he's glimpsed back into play. Paravision up 2k now.
And they hit the flush two. I think they do. Half health. DM's just gonna stick to him here.
Okay, the bash actually makes it so it doesn't land, but it doesn't matter to him, just cheats him down, tie-ball, he just play...
...gets out.
Like they paint off. No tie to that fight, he's the best kick player.
Straight to the road shot, it's like a 5,000-member swing.
All it takes is that one vendetta pick-off. You lose discipline for a second, far vision, swing the whole game.
It's like people ban this hero. It's not even about the hero being good, it's just they're so good at playing with it.
with it. No matter how far behind you are, if you can find that one pick off in Snowball
it, effectively, it counts for so much more. And now Satanic is just a monster. He has
not died in this game, he's a little 15, he has BKB. He's gonna have that alacrity
behind him. Pretty disgusting position for this Dragon Knight who can get protected
around the map from the Knicks. You have to run through to find him. Big missteps
from XG. They were cruising towards their BKB timing and they just gave up real bad pickoffs
on the way there. It sets them back considerably. Now they're smoking out looking for something
they're just gonna find the mix for the ninth death in this game. I mean, at some point
it's almost inefficient. Yes. He's just breaking smokes. He's already died eight
times. What does nine times matter? Now this pickoff does give extreme the confidence
Did just go to Tormentor
For sure
So you get the shard here
Oh
Oh oh oh
I think it's Tormentor
Zincales will be gifted a shard
by no one as the entire
extreme squad was sat on the
Tormentors so that cataclysm
I think almost every
Sunstrike was hitting the Tormentor
Heads up, read from no one
And maybe you gotta re-think about how you position
next time around yeah I mean that was also he literally just got the eggs like
30 seconds prior so it's a big snipe pretty sick timing for par vision the
whole game has won man how is this going so poorly for XG
You're gonna be smart.
Just small advantages accrued.
Next you will buy a gem currently on Exnova. They kind of needed some vision control against the next problem.
Well now you're just even more invested into this early game.
The thing is you don't really want to group right now because they have to daegis.
You're gonna get that warden? They missed that ob on the corner. Sneaky ward up there.
That is...
You have one more smoke, too. This is an awkward period. You want to smoke and get aggressive with the item times you have.
into the Aegis is not really the period to do it. If you split up and farm you're
worried about how many areas can we cover with detection to avoid the Nix's
assassin. Sunstrike slash Cataclysm pick off.
Nix lurking bottom does scout on me. But you're alone so not enough damage to
take him out.
Extreme, looking at mid.
Our vision already back up.
We can see how scared they're playing right now.
They're just huddling it up.
But this is sacrificing a lot of networks.
You look at what Harry's doing right now.
They're just farming everything around the map.
They're not making a play, even though the threat of a play is in XG's mind.
This is the mixed assassin effect.
They're just getting way too much information off that ward.
Like, they saw four heroes rotate down to the bottom area, so they didn't get baited
on going on the kez.
Say, Tannick just takes top tower, because he knows when they rotate back, they're gonna
be under the ward, he spots them, he's already taken the tower, and he's gone.
Wait, they've run the gem over this area twice.
They're not here.
They're weird.
There's a third time now they see it.
Big word to grab here, that was doing way too much work.
Vision game has done its job though.
It's about boosting up this dragonite and boosting up this invoker who are just cleaning
through the map right now.
The game progression for XG has been halted.
Even the fact that you got that shard on the disruptor means that you can push some waves
farm a little bit easier as well.
You took that away from one of the G's heroes.
So even the support network fight is going party's way.
Kata for some scouting?
I know they don't want to get picked off, but this almost feels worse than getting picked
off.
The one thing, they're just conceding like a thousand gold every like two minutes.
It's not great.
The one play that can make a smoke gate and basically sweep the bottom half, either through
the waterway or through the slower jungle, the other plays you can smoke enemy trying.
It's basically the play you can always make at any game if you don't know what to do.
It's just you have to be extremely confident about that play.
He just has expired though, so now you have some more confidence and they're gonna potentially run into them.
And it's gonna be extreme on the high ground. They got the cycle already on St. Tanner to the hex rather.
Nothing's safe. Makes the run for it though.
DM right in the middle of the back line. He's already killed one support.
He's gonna take out the other ex-gild. It's gonna go down.
Damn, getting a lot of value out of this, Florida.
Four heroes show up from extreme to that fight.
Four heroes die.
That is not what XG wanted to run into without the Kez.
No ravage comes out.
Got trapped in that static storm off of a crush.
The thing is they have BKBs anyway.
I think your window to win that fight
is actually just instantly popping the ravage
the second they go high ground there.
It's just a very difficult call to make because this Nyx is blinking in. You don't know where the invoker is.
You know, you get the hex on the DK here, you basically have to ravage it right there.
And even that out. I don't think you're winning this fight. Too much HP on this dragon, and too much HP on this slaughter, you don't have the kez to help you convert.
Homie was kind of in the area, but after he saw this started. Bails on that, that's a massive teamfight win.
The party and this next few game plans just fall in a part right now.
The scale looks a little sus here.
You're really all in on Kez.
So we get to five or six items.
He has to carry the majority of the weight because this DK is just out of control.
He's going to ramp up to his power spike a lot faster than your Leshen Tyche and some other stuff.
That's the big concern here.
Going for AC will always have that alacrity already level 20.
You get some other ages in this game that can be a high ground push that can be a game.
You don't think the Lushrack is going to be able to scale up?
Not as fast.
The physical damage minus armor, it's just too tough for him to hang in a fight.
I think he just gets his ass beat.
Like, what are you going to run in and try and E-X the one while they're just BKB hitting you?
It's not a thing.
There's tough Lushrack matchups in this game.
Not to mention there's also a mix in here that can just do that.
Blink on you with the spike care pace for an instant stun chain it with the impale
Then you have the dragon tail, then you have the crush, then you have the bash
Yeah, baby poke high ground bottom with that kill
It took the gem away from actually in that fight as well. That's a massive blow so much extra freedom for the nicks in this game
Whisper of the dread that for no one
An extra firepower
I'm gonna poke it here again.
The Boker can always boss this play.
How fast he does it.
I mean, it's no Kez with a Lanker, but...
To be fair, that is a mega farm dragon, like 340 CS, 6-in-0.
I'll make kind of keeping up in pace at least you got that going for you a greedy gunpowder
gauntlet kind of defeats the purpose does it helps your farm camps well yes I'll scan
get away your attack damage. I mean he's splitting the wickets right? Yeah. He has
camped the farm, he's gonna farm it. If he doesn't, because his team has party vision,
they farm everything. They'll get the extra GPM. So win-win.
And no one is just throwing out these cadds to scout. It's like between that
the Nix is asking for. Ford Spirit's pushing in waves. It's this classic
party vision. You just don't see anybody on the map and they always see
you through information advantage. It's so hard to make news. You end up clumping, they
end up out farming you, and you are left wondering where this game went wrong. And you're probably
banning Nixx's ass the next game because it feels claustrophobic even though this Nixx
is 0 and 9. He has made his impact felt. You know, a group up from XG, Aume says
I'm ready to fight doesn't have the butterfly, but yeah, I was gonna say they got a fight rose here
They're just playing for a rose truck. It does it's been ravaged from xxs
But there's just not a fast enough all up here even with a really great fate of bonds
It's an army deal. It's gonna die here on a with his ultimate might be even self-alive
He really always stayed panic man that fatal bonds did some serious work
We're gonna have to see the damage number on that after this fight
absolutely chunked him on a did not pop his BKB initially that looked a little
rough but hasn't for the rest of the fight no ag static storm to prevent it
going off party still looking to contest this no great job where's FYX
initiation no shackles follow up that's awkward I mean you potentially saw the
slaughter there so you're a bit iffy about shackling yeah Kata will not
That's like the Roshan and this should go XG's way massive teamfight went for them and yeah, look at the damage numbers your leader warlock
The 3,500 that bonds sliced them up. They don't really have his spells for it combined with the the raptor dance hitting two heroes
It's funny like nothing really to follow up that but then they pop their DKB's they all can fatal bonded together four-man fatal bonds
Nasty stuff just killed disruptor off of the
Pure split damage. We've seen x-axis do this a couple times
I was thought in the other series where you just kind of goes in and ravages
Almost like an information spell more than a chain stuff. Yeah, I'm going in they're gonna bother just spells and be kiddies
I'm gonna ravage them and and then we'll take the fight
Yeah, it always looks like his team is lagging by I
I still can't really tell if it worked.
Yeah, I know working, but it doesn't look like it should be.
Not very interesting situation because Extreme have won a teamfight, but have they changed the game.
They won a teamfight, they got Roshan, but it feels like map-state-wise
why is it's kind of returning to what it was before the rush on their heroes just
are never really gonna change the map state but what it did do was take that
he just away from the Dragonite which potentially could have just ended the
game here that's the biggest deal it gives more time for me to scale up
yeah I think just confidence like you always have to have confidence in in
Dota in terms of what your heroes can do it's one thing they say I'm gonna
go in and kill everybody it's another to have gone in and killed them all
go oh I'm a lot stronger than I thought that was a pretty convincing fight
for extreme. In a game that was spiraling out of control. As long as they don't get another
4 minutes or tonight. Such strike on cooldown. You're all in the clear. There's that shaman
shard they were looking for. They do have the anchor as well then the water available.
I'm kind of scaling up here. I'd say this game can swing back their direction if they
get some survivability up in the form of armor. Chivas AC low disorbs is what
If you can get three, four of those online, this game changes a lot.
You mitigate a lot of the overwhelming physical power you have, and you can bail each other
out from the slaughter I am, at least until he's level 25.
Being KB for the Tidehunter to deal with the static storm, that's an interesting purchase.
Not what he wants to have to go here.
You don't really ever want to buy BKB on Tide.
What are you, a useless item on the hero who is naturally a frontliner anyway, but Static
Storm is one of the few spells that can force us out of you.
Even then, if you get Ag Static later, it's still a kind of hit or miss.
I think that's part of the reason he got it here, because he knows DeCaulis isn't
building an Ag.
Right?
DeCaulis is building all the support items, Solar Crest, he's now got a mech, so you're
expecting him to get a Greaves out.
So he's got a big window here where the DKB will be effective counter to the Static Store.
Absolutely. It'll be valuable here. As long as you don't get physically shredded by this
order DK plus Lackardy. Because now your armor is a lot lower than it would be with the
Sheeva's build up here. Or the AC that he's considering. Since Sheeva's done on
NTS, so there's one piece of the puzzle. And it's actually trying to swing this
back their direction. I was gonna say I think X-XS part of this BKB built up
he has to go to AC and I think with the level 20 and stuff then you start
building more of a right-click build on the tide. Probably AC into Satanic here.
Yeah. I guess BKB is also pretty nice against Invoker in this game sometimes
Tide can struggle against Invoker laking especially Glacier Invoker with these
massive AoE spells. Yeah EMP burns you out without you being able to really
play Dota. You can also just get Tornado to the ice home here, just dead sometimes.
Good blink away.
I can get behind speaking to you. Looks pretty good.
Feels like a gem back off that fight.
My question is what is nothing to say going to do to stay alive in fights?
Because I don't think one armor item fixes your issues. I think the sword are still he goes on you he sticks on you
You get any follow from the dragonite. You're probably gonna die
You're gonna die quickly too
Could be a Lincoln's game
Okay, I
Would say bloodstone for survivability
But you are going against a lot of PKB cores in this game
It's not super tempting in terms of what is your magic damage output actually gonna be in the first nine seconds of a fight
I think the better options for him are
just go in and and die and
Hope that the BKBs get worn down enough that your kez has a better fight because of it
For me the bigger thing that next year is you're probably gonna lose heroes to win a fight
You just all have to go in together to have a chance to win
You can't have one hero going and the other one's watching and someone else is about to jump.
No fire, army gun for the Saurdhar, so Wind Waker kind of goes down.
That's a big pickup as an option.
DM definitely keeping his scale up in this game.
I don't think Parry are afraid of going late.
I think every time they have Invoker, they're super confident in their ultralake game.
Ucala has built utility, but you can't always eventually get to Aks on this hero.
So there's still a lot of lake even a tank for party if they want to just keep stalling the game out
Might suck a little for the dragonite who's kind of peeking here
But of course it's still like a dragonite, it's not gonna be bad
No, no, it's not
Run into nine class but no gem on the tide anymore. It is on
That's why shaman
I wonder if, uh, St. Tanik should consider an NKB over Daedalus. Yeah, he switched up Daedalus to NKB now.
I'm not afford to miss hits on Kez when you have them still.
Yeah.
Kale to get that kill, he gets off Raptor Dancel.
So the teamfight is...
Pull the 180.
Probably one of those matches where you're happy Raptor Dances pure damage.
Gets this Dragon Knight armor. 80% physical resist.
Yeah.
Every once in a while we just get a cataclysm to make sure that Xtreme's still in the game.
Keep them on their toes.
Well, team's trying to secure this mid lane, secure vision, setting up for this rose spawn
that's in the next minute or two.
Might catch the Lash just casually running in on this ward.
Ooh, that is...
It's very close to being a jump there, the party there, in a little better position.
They want to hug this ward.
They would love to start fights on their terms.
That's going to set everything up for the no one invoker to wreak havoc from the back
line.
Especially if they can jump a big damage dealer in the form of the Lesh or the Kez and
just pop BKBs.
You're not worried about Tidehunter.
Invokers going to force them to react to bottom lane.
But he popped his top.
Popped top, yeah, so extreme seeing bad.
out right here if they have one, they do not.
Gives you a little more time to farm up, I guess.
Amp damage in the river.
See if Satanic takes it here if he wants to bottle it or hold onto it for a little longer.
No, he's just gonna take it, flying in Daedalus.
God, the spike here based on the Echo Slash, but he still gets off the Raptor Dam.
So he gets about half HP.
Now, Satanic with an amp damage still wants to keep the spike going.
He shows it on the golem and extreme, if I'm there, I'm head back to the base, I'm hit so hard, I know.
Rosh insta spawn by the way, but Parry did not check it.
They could have done it right there, and would have been absolutely free with the kesno, not having he give you no contest.
Yeah, it looks like they're gonna do that thing where it's like, if it doesn't spawn early, it's gonna end up being bottom, so let's just play for it to be bottom.
I think they're a little worried hitting high ground in terms of tide going in with blink
ravage and that first frontline hero is getting bursted off of a full B give you committal
from XG because technically I have no save in this party line.
Yes.
It's the one downside of their draft.
Little hard to put a hero on the frontline and have it work out if that hero cannot
survive on his own.
Oh, it's like you said, party vision likes to play Dota off map.
Push the enemy base, you're showing yourself.
That's true. You can't go shove your way to the angel.
Damn playing like it.
This guy's just so annoying. Like, this Nixx is just impaling creeps from fog mid.
He doesn't show. He just keeps impaling from the fog.
This disruptor is just nuking creeps out bottom. Not showing.
of the
flight and some version of the disabilities and
the state of the show on the map you can't be killed
by the diversity of the system of
the formation of the
as far as the personal
of the president of
Are he willing to take the fight?
I think I got a refresher on the invoker.
Let's put it to use.
Ex-ex-ex-ex, just blinking into them here.
Pops the BKB, ignores the Dragon Tail, gets off the ravage.
Can they focus down this Dragon Knight?
He's in trouble, but he got off this BKB and now the St. Tannock goes off.
They can't finish him off.
Omni's in a duel that I don't know if he can win.
He's stuck inside these different wards, so he's not really going anywhere.
He just kind of has to take it.
He's gonna be dropped though.
Stefan and Glass with the meter, he does what they can to stay tannic, but he will fall
and Extreme are now going to find their base exposed.
Dias Curry has been killed.
There's a bold jump from XXS.
Click this button's fine, but this Dragon Knight is way too tanky.
I don't know how they kill him in this game.
Feels impossible.
They just don't have enough burst damage.
This Kes build is not designed for maximum DPS.
But you cannot out-survive a Lackretty Dragon at 80 for 600, creating you for almost 2,000.
With 5,000 HP and 80% physical resistance, that's just disgusting.
Pinging the damage they've done to Kez.
Which is a lot, considering that hero kinda gets a second chance at life.
Well, because there is a Tier 2 thing, we'll not be able to force Aame to use his buyback
on his heads, but don't forget that objective is still there.
They're going back to Roshan after such a successful fight, so...
Do they even need it?
I mean, they don't, but it's a good way to put the game in the bag.
Two lives on this DK.
Sounds impossible to deal with.
You get a refresher shard for...
Snipe on, I guess.
I don't see Tannock once or two, sure.
You already have a refresher up on that invoker.
But getting to the ultra late game for this party lineup is disgusting and strong.
And...
Here comes the team.
Nothing to say you really think that you were gonna be able to get out on the map
unnoticed
Did you really think that nine class wasn't just tracking you the whole way?
This game just
Got out of control very fast off a couple nicks pick offs and led to that first rush on I
Just don't think there's a way for me to outscale this carry matchup
He has less buffs behind him and his hero just doesn't do as much single target damage.
Yeah, it's what it feels like.
It'd be one thing if it was just a Dragonite, but because it's a Corrosive Haze, because
it's a Lackretty Dragonite, you know, it's just like there are too many bosses for him.
It's already consumed a Moon Shard.
He's so farmed.
See what actually could be a monster. Great jump. Jump to the back line. Go for the invoker! Got him to half HP, but not quite good enough.
Aame is running on a steam now. His BKB expires Grapplin' Claw up to the high ground, but the meteors pursue him.
DM chased him down.
Without the Caz, I mean he could buy back, but most of his team is already dead. They've already made their initiation.
They still have Ravage actually.
So X-XS, nothing to say.
And Aame.
against the fixed man of party vision
rubbish for what technically the warlock could still buy back in fatal bonds but uh i guess
they are not going to play for the final lane
the barracks are going to play for an independent throne
satanic is inevitable in this war
i wish you luck
Oh, you're dead.
Hit by the combo.
Chain's stunned up.
No chance to pump PKB.
There goes that ravage.
And going on different targets.
And your throat's dead.
Nobody's going to die on parry vision and your throwing is gone.
All's a valley in attempt, but probably just slowly grinding their way to that late game scale, that
Invoker always gives you man, he just weighs those carry matchups so much, always gives you the backup DPS.
Here you have to try and jump, which gives a lot of freedom to DK on the frontline, and just not a hero they can focus.
I think XG, they win this game by playing fast, but that's not their MO as a team.
They're not a fast team, they're a slow methodical team, they are a team that wants Aume on the end,
on the NLBL here, they're a team that wants to outscale their opponents, out-barm them,
play their slow, methodical game. That's why I think this matchup is tough for them, because
I think Parry is a team that very rarely gets outplayed in those areas. They almost
always have better scale. They almost always have the NLBL carry in Titanic. They are
better at ghost shoving, not showing up, not giving up pickoffs, and then letting
9-class find those pickoffs that get through those late game advantages of almost any
other team.
It's all well and good if you're like, you know, able to out team fight party vision if you actually have some vision.
But if you never see them, if you're just blindly blanking in as XXS and hoping that your ravage is good, like you eventually, you know, that's not going to work out for you.
And it only really took one team fight for party vision to take over this game one.
But takeover, they did their one game up at this series, it's 4 elimination, one of these
two teams that will be moving on to championship Sunday, and at this point Paravision having
a leg up here with Effie Lacoste and Insania breaking it down, Insania what are you thinking?
I mean I was looking at the subs and I think it will take you closer to 14, but
I really didn't like the Leshrac pick.
I feel like it didn't really have much value from the way I view the game.
I feel like they did some cool stuff to kind of try to flip the matchups,
and I feel like it's something that XG's been doing throughout the entire event.
They are bringing supports to the mid lane, like Meryl touched on,
and this is something that I think is quite fresh and new from them.
They're doing it to the extent that they are.
Yeah, they forgot to pick up the XP rune while being busy throughout these moves to the mid lane
and maybe they also thought about bringing the heroes to the mid lane so the 5 lanes are going to be relieved of this Sunstrike pressure.
That this is something that they picked just in Volker 4 and DM having a blast after getting a dub on this one for a good reason.
This game was flatly back and forth which saw like one big Roche fight around 18 minutes where it kind of maybe thought they were going to be back into the game
game but not really this DK with all these buffs. You have Solar Crest, you have Alacrity
on him, Slardar to amp up his damage. It's just way too much. Like at one point it just
overwhelms you with this physical damage.
It really does. I mean that DK pick was great. Like clearly they had an answer to
Kes within their draft and I think the two core picks for XG just did not look comfortable,
right? The Lush being picked into Nyx and Invoker and with the knowledge that
of the disruptor as well, the knowledge that there are solutions for this Lush Rack. It's
not a free Lush game, you have to snowball. And then the kez comes out when you can just
last pick DK. Any kind of tanky, high armor hero. And to give XG credit, they played that
laning stage as well as they could. Like I really thought if they lost lanes, that
carry would win super fast. And they did a lot of really good moves, unfortunately.
Their draft had to keep doing those moves for it to work and not feed away any kills
on the cast and it's just hard to pull off. I do think this one was a bit of a draft diff.
I also think it's kind of cool to see... I feel like XG did the things that I expected
party to be better at. In the early game, it was XG's supports coming in, especially FY.
I think to me, they lost the game, but it was a shining piece. He came in, they did all these
moves, they did his pressure on the mid lane. They managed to be the team doing usually
what my class does like which is like pull the wave and then run mid and create chaos and like
every single mid laner in the game hates playing his line class you know because he might always be
there uh which is really cool and i feel like it shows to me a lot of promise for the game to come
i think they'd be better heroes the gameplay was there i feel like it was quite sharp like they
even have um i don't know if the clips are ready but there's this fight around the
rush fit where xxs kind of just goes in completely blind he like gushes he
sees two heroes all right I'm going here's the clip yeah so this jumps in
they have this like 13k gold disadvantage and they managed to kill the
tankiest hero in the game which is satanic and that kind of just mobiles
despite into a victory and to me this is like a very promising sign a team that
can find these moments a team that can find these kinds of jumps in this
kind of game. We're at the end of the tournament, you know, it's the best of the best left.
And if you can find that with a 13 hit disadvantage, imagine what this game could be like if they're
a bit more...
Better heroes.
Yeah, better heroes, a bit more even. And another one of the things I wanted to highlight
is what I talked about in the pregame, which is X-Men was spellcasting. There's
a fight, which I hope we can pull up on the screen.
I'm sure we have the technology.
Yeah.
And...
I'm in it.
I think we have to all of them together.
Oh, it does how it works, yeah, oh.
Maybe it's like from Naruto, you have to like sacrifice your blood.
Uh, never mind.
Well, while it's being summoned, I do want to like touch upon what you mentioned about the Leshrac,
because I do feel that it was out of place in the draft.
Um, you said something during the draft segment,
but Leshrac will always give you these things,
so what's the other reason that you're picking him?
And as the game progressed, it didn't feel like it existed,
because unless you were stacking all of Lesha's insane damage on this Ravage and Fatal Bonds,
It couldn't do much else like you had to give him resources meant so you could withstand that matchup
And then later on he couldn't play silence because you picked him into next lesson
So it's something that they do like to do like I see NTS go for Ember picks against heroes that counter Ember and do really well
But it's because Ember will always give you like that kind of setup that ability to play from a distance that Lesh doesn't
So he's safer pick in that regard in a lot of ways too
None class is insane to play again like this guy is just I I wanted to highlight something like his itemization
This looks like straight out of Harold Brackett because he doesn't have eye. He has one item
It's not like it's not the way you're supposed to be playing it
I like just use something to be able to have extra bit of stats fill that inventory with
Whatever but at one point of the game. He basically had
mana boosts. That was his item. And he still did a lot with it. Like he was
always in the time lanes punishing, but he also did pick up the Shard as well,
which gives a break against Tidehunters, so they can kill him from 100 to 0
easily. And also in this game, he died 10 times. Every other core on side of
Paravision only died once. So he was kind of doing the job. He goes in, they
get the kill, he dies, they get all the info. Satanic, he keeps farming so
there's no one. And at one point it's just too much.
I feel like Satanix, the guy that you always wish you have on your team, you know, like, just gives you vision, always goes in first.
Why does my 4 does that?
Yeah, why is it my 4 doing, you know?
But when he's on your team, you're probably thinking, he's always dying, why is he feeding away his gold?
Why am I alone in my lane? You know what I mean?
Like, from playing against him, he's the most annoying player to play against.
But yeah, it comes at a cost.
It comes at a cost.
But the cost is something that Paravigin can work around with very easily, it seems like.
Yeah, and I wanted to show another cool clip not anything special, but it's cool and it deserves to be highlighted
It's no one's steal of the four-metre. I mean, this is just cool, right?
This is like one of those things that's gonna happen once in a hundred years
I feel like in a pro game where he uses cataclysm all heroes are stacked up off of it
Yeah, what they have to play is when you're playing against the invoker that could potentially shield if you have a range
Hero, lay with the range, don't stack on top of it, but the thumb strike don't actually
connect.
Keep the distance.
Or five blade nails.
Oh.
Or five blade nails.
No counter.
That has no counter.
We're going to see a next game.
That is the counter to the game with the cataclysm.
We're going to find out what's going to happen in the next game and if there's
going to be a little bit of a better draft potentially for Extreme Gaming coming their
way as well.
But first, a little bit of a break.
See you soon.
Dream League Season 27 is brought to you by DHL.

Plaking games, no complaining, let's live it up
We don't get this time together for the time
Welcome back!
You should watch Dreamly Season 27 and we potentially could be heading to our final game of the night.
And that is all dependent on whether extreme gaming can put up a little bit better performance against Paravision right here.
It's elimination on the line. It's the best of three.
Teams are already top 4 and that's great, they could be wrong, that's great, but Sany just told us that we found his face
and he says he was sad.
That's how he recognizes his face, because he got 3rd, and 3rd is not good enough and if 3rd is not good enough for you
I don't think 4th is good enough for these players either, I think.
No, I refuse, this is the best, this is going to go to 3 games.
Okay, yeah, yeah, there is no way.
Like last time when they met, EI, Part of Vision, they won Game 1 and then XG eliminated them.
This was the last time they actually met, which is pretty surprising considering how many tournaments we had so far.
Yep.
Three months ago.
Woo!
A lot of changes in stand-up.
For sure.
I mean, honestly, I think extreme gaming played very well.
In that game, all things considered, like there were some bad deaths that occurred or some bad fights that were taken, but...
that's kind of what you have to do with that draft.
You have to take these fights and like keep your lead up.
Because initially, extreme gaming were leading because of the moves that they made early on.
But I do wonder if they have alternate draft ideas now.
because the 13th crew is getting banned out and they're stuck with these lush rocks on 18.
Surely there must be something else they talked about.
Yeah, I would be surprised if they didn't come to like a similar conclusion.
I like the Warlock, I like the Tide, I was telling you guys in the Green Room, I feel like,
you know, now that I was staring a bit more at Ex-Excess, he does have his moment.
Hey! Walk on the train!
But I will stand by my opinion that NTS and Almey still they are the ones that need to have good choice.
They're also on the train. They're also having a train. We are also on their train. You can be in multiple trains at the same time.
Just wait a little bit. Eventually you'll understand. Don't worry. You just have to watch him for a little bit and he becomes the goat.
Have you had that happen where your experience playing against somebody and watching them make them feel different to you?
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, I actually, Staxa is like the perfect example of this
Cause I feel like playing against him, obviously I always thought it was very good
But now watching him play, I'm just like, honestly amazed by the impact he's had on Yandex
It's incredible
So it's really cool, it's cool to get this like different perspective on things that uh
Kind of shifts up how you feel about players
Which I'm very open to. I'm open to like changing all my opinions all around.
We're lucky again for Exnova. We didn't really manage to show it but there's a clip where...
I mean I even think it was the Roshan clip. It might have just been my bad.
But I wanted to specifically highlight like how he times his fatal bombs with Ame initiating into the fight
and just getting all that damage out. It's incredible. And he has...
He's a very gifted Svelkaustor.
And, previous game we had that Keep of the Light, I believe, First Base Band.
It was Band, yes.
And this time they'll pick it up. Now, this morning, obviously it was successful for one of the games, but it did also lose the game.
Yeah, it didn't look too good. We touched upon it, the trade game, talking about how Caudal potentially grieved some of the lanes,
not the lane winner by any means for Paravision, and also not a hero that can...
Alright, they're cooking.
Yeah, they really are.
Do you remember what the last two bands were from Fairy Vision in the last track?
No, because that was Busy Puzzling.
The puzzle looks good.
It was Troll and Terrible.
I think maybe XT should use their 18 pick band for Aumeng and not maybe something like a Lush Rock for NTS.
That's kind of what I was thinking too.
But I do think like both for Parry and for Xtreme their carry is like
he's the guy with the widest hero pool. He's the one that will play the biggest
variants of heroes. So for that reason sometimes it's nicer to save their pick
or when like all the bands have come out and like the maximum number of heroes in a band
are you want their heroes to be available to you. But I don't think you want to play
Careblade anymore because there is an elder Titan guys this is the hero that is one of the
Only heroes that up until this morning and unfortunately for the people that I've played with they and nobody have played with any of my pumps
So it was 0% of the Atlas and I have to play it myself
It was not great, but it doesn't matter this hero has been missing for the longest time
Yes, I was here. He'd be doing a victory left in the studio right here. I am also a huge other type
Okay, yes, I love this hero and I think what's really cool about this hero
I think the innovation over the years is you used to always max the aura
And then for a while people were like no to spirits really strong
You start putting like three points in this period and then there was a recent trend when I was still playing
So like about a year ago where people started
People started maxing the stomp and because one of the people that did this he would go like even level one
He would take stomp in the lane
And you just walk up to you and you're like I'm gonna hit him
He doesn't a spirit buff and he just stomps you and they set up a lot of cool stuff with that
So I'm really really curious to see what he's gonna do with it in this game in particular
Like I think all three avenues are possible
So, cheers what he does.
Yeah, the only change that did happen in the previous patch is that you can use, like, you can move Astral, you can return it while you're being disabled.
Not sure how much of an impact that's gonna be, but Fogged, whenever patch drops, he's like, my boy Ethan, unplayable again.
Like, they get in dirty, you know, every single time that's his first impression, because this is one of his favorite heroes.
And, yeah, he's not too very, he's not too happy with the changes.
I also feel like
Playing elder titan against the Chinese team you you're like making a statement, you know
Chinese team is really like elder titan, but this is amazing. This is something we played a lot on liquid
ET tiny is great
You just put the spirit on whatever tiny is gonna go on and the damage application is incredible
Add coddle to that add solar bind as well extra magic
Okay, do the cool down and type this tiny is the main thing like this is the full hole
Like the thing that's gonna type this draft off. Yeah pretty much like it's like old-school
OG concepts where you have like you pick some poor hero and you really amp him up with your supports like
We're talking like no tail tops an era o.g. They like to do this a lot where they would run like it's that like some physical damage
they would have Enchantress, get a Wolf Creep and buy Vlad and like
put me in the heroes dealing twice the amount of damage that you're used to and
Now we're doing it to the Tiny here with the Cautal and the E.T.
And the center and the axe coming out there as well
I do I do want to talk a little bit about the two support jewels because I think that that's been a conversation that we've had quite a
bit over the last two weeks where once I got Willow and Warlock and that seems I mean
first of all obviously it's more common than the other one so that already has a little bit of
benefit to it anyway a lot of team fight offered quite a bit of damage as well
how do creepers of the light and Elder Trident match up to that?
I like Caudal somewhat against Warlock I think generally when you play Caudal like we touched on earlier
it's you're not really pressuring so you don't want to play it into matchups where that it gets abused
Warlock isn't really a hero that can abuse like lack of pressure. He's a hero that likes to play into somebody pressuring him
So in that way, Caudal matches up pretty nicely. I don't know what kind of build my class is gonna go for
But I think like Greaves, Holy Locket, and you just play for like spam heal
Honestly could be something really cool, especially in this matchup where like XG doesn't really have that much damage
Like they, I feel like your heroes can run out of damage once they use their spells
So for that reason I kind of like the Caudal. I think in that way it matches nicely into Warlock
Yeah, I agree. Like they need to be able to go in, use Dark Willow, all T paired up with Axe, with the Blink Dagger, Blade Melt to be able to get the kill, use all of their spells.
And then if you reset the fight, you have Stampede, you have Pipe coming out from the Scentar, which is going to be kind of the core item you're playing into.
Insane amount of damage coming out, just magical damage overall, good overall Lotus Orb game as well inside of Extreme because there's so many things that you can dispel in this one.
And then if you throw everything on the Tiny, like these two supports don't like to play
into them as much, the good thing about Axe is like this is the new tech ever since the
patch dropped because you are buying into Blade Bell now, you're not going for like
these multiple rings and stuff because you're dealing more pure damage and you want to
be able to lock down an enemy core because we know that Satanic he plays that late
game carry.
Do you think there's a chance that this Tiny is going to be played from the carry
role or do they just prefer this mid-thiny max out the spells and play with
caudal? I think it's mid here. Yeah I think so too.
Because like you see the ember and then you want a hero like you can't punish
this tiny on mid now with the vipers on huskars and it's just a good hero to
kill ember spirit as well. I did just want to quickly say that I quite like
what XG have versus caudal though. Like I think caudal overall works with
Harry's staff but when I think about heroes like caudal and E.T. who
don't have funds, and they're playing against an Ember Spirit.
And the Ember Spirit has a dark willow.
These supports will die very easily.
If they get targeted, there is no saving them.
I think XG have a support shredding lineup.
How does Medusa sound?
Like having Caudal in the team, a bit of a low damage lineup,
good amount of stuns, physical, magical, amplification
from ET.
It is definitely a satanic classic,
but you will have the problem that Mira mentioned,
like if you don't have a way to lock down the Ember, how do you protect your
backline? Because both Kotl and E.T. they want to stay alive and spam ransom spells.
The question is if Graves plus Holy Locket Kotl could maybe be enough? I don't
even know if this is on his mind. Maybe somebody that has Dota Buff on one of their
iPads could check, but I think that could be
enough for them and they just think like Statenik can still cook for us.
He did bang it out multiple times during
Galakia and he's going for this bit of a new like hybrid build instead of going for you know the butterfly
Immediately you're going for agonist chapter Manta style Mjolnir these items where it allows you to farm up Mjolnir into agonist chapter
Of course, but and then you start to scale with your Scotty's with your dispersers as well
I feel like if you could skip like the first 20 minutes of the game draw ranger could also be very very
I don't know how nice it is to play against Willow and I'm very running against you.
Or like Warlock, you know, level 6 at minute 7, it could be tricky to stay on your lane.
Interesting to care.
I want to say though that I like what Extreme Gaming has, and I think Pirates Draft makes
a lot of sense to me, but this looks more like the extreme gaming that have been snowballing
these lanes. And I think having this Ember is just a lot more stable for XG than having
this Lush. If you enable this Ember, you will always have a means into the late game, and
if you access the hero farming, then it's different than a Tidehunter gushing move. Like
you'll have this Blade Mail hero that can play against whichever carry comes out
at the end.
There's a Medusa though.
Yeah, looks good.
Looks good.
Look at the cost.
Yeah, there's a lot of weight. A lot of things that you want to be dispelling
in this game, building in Tamanthus style, Bramble, like pretty much anything can be dispelled,
so it feels really good. And just a little bit of amount of damage that they do have.
I want to see if he's going to be going for the same build. I know that Yotaro, he's
been enjoying this Bursar. Like last four games, I think he bought it three times and
he wanted to buy it the fourth time as well. It's very good as well. I also
want to see if he's going to be going for maybe an earlier butterfly on this Medusa
because you're playing against Kev's, he's all about that physical damage, but yeah, I think Paravision cooked with this raft.
There's a cool interaction between Ox and this level.
Oh yeah. The level 6? I'm for sure going to go for it.
Surely everybody's going to be aware of that.
Yeah, I think so, but like, there's always the dream of like...
There's no way!
No, there's no way!
Make it 20 times funnier if it happens.
I think there's like a less than 1% chance, but the moment he is fixed on Axe, I hope to observe her camera is all not me, because...
It could happen, but what if the Ex-AxAx do something tricky, like run through the trees and try to go for it, you know?
But yeah, I mean, I like Strathlaw Morphax to be, I think they have a lot better heroes, I think especially the Stups, but wait, let's...
Okay, you know it also looks very nice other than the Dota game. Obviously, our shredding partners!
I'm just like the Pandas, extreme will need to do some serious shredding in this game too, if they hope to make it too championship.
Fuckin' day!
They're down a game and the theory says they went back to the kez?
Didn't work out for them in Game 1 every what makes them think it'll work out in Game 2?
They have a lot more scale across the rest of the lineup to give them confidence to go late game
so it's not all on on me to pick up that carry carry matchup
and their lanes look a little more snowball-y in terms of if they get ahead like they did in Game 1.
Axe and Ember can run the map compared to that Tide Lush that was a lot more clunky and not as confident and initiating fights.
They have two really good team-by-initiators and some really good team-by-follow-up.
So I think they're drafts a lot more well-rounded.
I think their scale looks a little bit better and their snowball potential of the lanes looks a little bit better.
They want to go that route.
Actually, not a huge fan of this Parry lineup.
I mean, I'm a big Elitime fan.
I think the combos make sense, but I also feel like it's really low damage.
damage. I do kind of feel like the if I could swap out the caudal for something else that
works with the tiny a bit better. I just I don't see the little kill combos coming in
play other than the ET tiny. I mean solar bind yeah but I think all these things are
nice to talk about they are a lot more difficult to execute especially if you potentially
are behind all lanes and you just have ember axe running at you. I don't know this
This is one of those drops where it just feels like you're all in on Medusa and I don't know
if Medusa actually carries this game.
It's closed.
I had to imagine the hero was pretty good in the Kez matchup.
Yeah, it's probably okay.
I actually think I like the DK better, but sure.
DUSA can always carry the game if DUSA is ahead. He gets farm and satanic. Generally is ahead and
generally does find farm. So it's a great hero for him. It's a great hero for Parry to play around.
They have a lot of heroes to protect the DUSA, play around him, give him mana.
Stomp is always great behind DUSA. This E team DUSA combo has always been really strong.
You're very good around the pit. You're very good at helping the DUSA frontline and push
high ground. When you try and all in, or Stomp first player comes through, reset the fight,
and stone gaze that fights over. Dusa can also be pretty good at protecting the E.T. and Dusa gives
EKB Pierce, which is rare for a carry to do, which is one of the big issues with Elder
Titan in general. He sucks against debuff immunity. So you kind of get to make up for Elder
Titan's weakness with Dusa and then Elder Titan helps the Dusa do what she does. So I always like
this combination. Paladin is also pretty nice. D1 range carries with the E.T. generally.
get a range carry with those some nukes to contribute when he runs in just a lot
going for them in this combo and it's this combo is even better than when you
played it because now do so can actually provide a disabled for elder
tank to wall yeah in lane I want to kill for that get a get a big spirit
damage he lands a gorgon's grass all of a sudden you're getting a couple extra
swings in it doesn't take you many for elder tank to win a lane he takes a
damage here yeah just might be that run down the snake is gonna go for a decent
amount but not enough that to cause feels like he can go for tower dive I
would go for that that was a guaranteed first one yeah I did feel like that was
least potential for first one don't play it safe you know party they don't
really play for kills necessarily they just played for a farm on the
Which is generally the better way to play Dota. Is it as fun?
I guess to them it is.
I don't think playing Dota is about fun.
No it's not.
That's what artifacts for.
I don't think that's games about fun either, frankly.
Big snake bounce.
Radiance middle tower is under attack.
Counter strikes about opening crates, I mean, crate strike is about sometimes shooting.
I think the last Valve game that was made for fun is maybe port.
I thought I thought it too, man.
It's so obnoxious how good his kids can be in lane sometimes.
He's just so good at playing like, you feel like you can never play the jungle support on support war?
Just because you never know when the kids are gonna come in grappling claw to you at the Echo Slash.
Echo's half your health.
Well it's good this kid's doing well because it lets the Warlock go to mid, take the water room, deny it out for the tiny who is otherwise
destroying mid lane. As much as NTS had no one's number in game one, no one has his number in game two.
23 and 9. This one is kind of expensive, right? Tiny
is based damage advantage. Hey, clears out the waves. Then he, yeah, just what no one's doing
right now threaten you under tower
Trans TV get at least the flag bear
Okay, it's not getting any of that
He's making nothing to say is missing something so damage still done
Actually doing pretty well
xxs
He's gonna go straight for the phylactery build ring of health not a vanguard. Oh, I mean it's a great crimson guard game though
Not like this. I've played enough black reacts to know
Win games man, you preach about this shit all the time. Yeah, cuz I didn't think anyone would actually do it in a pro match
What kind of psychopathic shit is this man?
Not respecting the elder Titan damage like a hunger. Yeah, I think to cause
He's dead here.
I'm gonna get a raindrop.
We'll get a couple hits in.
Oh, no!
He gets the kill!
It takes off the battlehunker!
And Duke Hollis lives!
He flew in raindrop.
Who buys raindrop, man?
Didn't this guy listen to 33's interview?
You don't buy this item?
No, that's for a course.
Oh, okay.
Supports are allowed to buy disposable items.
What a god.
Caught raindrop lives.
Proves it's worth 33 in shambles.
Six mana power rune.
and a power rune, I guess the upside of FY dying,
he can help with the rune.
Downside is, they chose the wrong side.
So DeCaulis is gonna make sure that no one
gets the Invisory, okay,
didn't manage to make his way through the bramble
so it gets denied slash picked up by DeCaulis.
First blood is always nice on this hero.
You get the quick boots
and then you just ramp up your laning pressure.
But I don't think they really need it anymore.
Satanic is pretty much out of the woods on this lane.
He has low, he has mango, he has full wand, this deuce is untouchable.
High enough to tiny mid, interesting rotation.
Not one no one probably expected with how low NTS was, and there being a warlock.
They make it work, that's a huge kill.
NTS needed something in this game because he was getting absolutely demolished into one on one.
He gets him to six, he can just teleport back, get a full reset, very efficient.
Good for his levels, he's still very poor though, so some work to be done for December.
It's a heroic and funciful low net worth this game with the supports backing him up in plays, but
I really want him to have a fast
Burn at least especially that's what he's going for
Where's some trying to take and put on to the axe almost level six
She means that ultimate is coming out
technically
Has the threshold on say panic. Yeah, well, I got on she was yeah, you just
Switches over to Strength, Treads, and then he's good. Easier said than done though.
It's very easy. Bulk him to do it. Bulk him.
You gotta walk up and fake the dunk so he fake Treads' swaps.
Maybe they don't need to do it all. Swaps over to Strength, Treads, but there may not be enough strength for him.
As they're burning through that mana shield pretty quickly, but thanks to Lotus and thanks to the Mangoes,
He is back up to a decent amount there in fighting shape here. Can they push through all of this?
The blast comes through they take it on Aume. No one comes in for a buy.
Takes it out X-XS as well. It's a complete and total routing.
They're gonna get four of the clutch stun from Ducalus. We'll pay his life, but that's just a free trip to base.
Grim war charges. That's about it as
extreme get clean in this bottom lane.
They went all in on that DUSA and honestly it wasn't close.
No, Lotus after Lotus, Mango after Mango.
This is too hard to kill this hero early on when she's got the extra resources like that.
Yeah, he still has Lotus. Tossback kills nothing to say.
DM? Not below the total.
No! He misses it!
This black tree where was his black tree?
He gets the kill on the battle hunger in the flag tree going off there
But the fact that he missed the cooling blade hit means he doesn't have the extra movements need to get out
What is this game? I don't know but no one is giving away killing spree to ex-nobah
Who is the highest level of it down? Nothing stays back in a play. Yeah, why not just keep running it down mid
I guess
Whatever's happening here is better than what happened in that bottle
You don't have to fight the Medusa who's not going to join early fights.
Actually better be winning these exchanges.
You go full actery on axe.
Combined with the urn on ember, it's all early fighting items.
Gotta get the value out of them.
Just tough heroes to run into in the early game.
Tiny's so much HP to send our so much HP to get through.
Same with the Dusa.
That is one thing this party lineup has going for.
got some meat do you have mini lag no okay
at least find it funny when teams are go go pull teams say go what if you what
If you bozos has to unpause the game, if you both say go, somebody actually has to hit the button.
Well, they all have each other muted.
I guess that's fair enough, yeah, no one actually sees it.
Just two go's silent in the night.
What's that stack?
It's the most random triple stack I've ever seen.
How are they E.T.?
Alright, back to their old hunting ground.
All in the Tiny with four heroes, round three.
What's disgusting is they may not get him.
Chainsaw them inside during the stampede and another tossback.
You know when you go for the Tiny, you're not going to kill him 100-0.
So he's going to get off a combo.
So even if you do manage to wear through him, it's going to take so many spells,
So many resources, both mana and health,
because he's gonna, you know, get at least
one or two tosses off in one avalanche.
The movie's so telegraphed,
DM's just sitting in his first remit,
removing the debuff from the tiny.
Ah, this just feels like such a forced game from XG.
Like, there's this plane of getting flackered
and just running in mid.
They just did not give up on it.
This thump to hold him inside the Shadow Realms
so no one can finish him off on the toss.
Teleport's coming in, like chains.
Pilling the left side, that's going to be a pretty decent amount of damage there from Aume.
That goes slash, but now Satanic's here, and he's got to be careful.
Oh, tossed into the grass there of Satanic.
They'll get the elder Titan in the end, and that's about it.
He's out of remnant charges.
He's going to jump back and hopefully run away.
Three more seconds till another remnant.
He's got magic wand charges.
I think he lived.
Yeah, regen rune's just doing so much work.
The toss! It follows the anti-remnant, nothing to say. Needed to wait.
I will say, 9-class, he was landing a lot of blasts in these fights, with all the stunt boys up front.
Kato's looking real juicy right now, and they're even eyeing up this axe bottom.
Another little combo to come through, Spirit on top.
Ami here, this is such a chaotic game for XG.
Yeah, Extreme is playing incredibly fast. What a hit from no one!
I'm not gonna lie, this game is a disaster for extreme gaming right now.
Extreme is down to 5k every fight, it feels like they're killing us, support and losing
two cores for it.
If they're losing this game 5 on 4, DUSA is just jungling.
You cannot be losing early game 5 at 4 with a DUSA jungling and expect to come out on
top in the long run.
Here comes Shadow Realm goes off, then he gets Avalanche, then he gets Stomps.
The Shadow Realm lowers off, he gets tossed, it's Dejabu.
Okay, he's up for the toss, he already tossed right there.
Dejabu here?
Earth splitter on the bridge.
Earth splitter on the bridge!
Oh, we missed him.
Okay, a chance for Extreme to try and turn something here.
They have an infinite amount of water.
But there goes that Samtea.
Come on, get in there, Ex-Nova.
You can chase forever.
Another flackery.
X-Novo's coming.
Another flackery hit.
Working him down.
Bit by bit.
Pulling back a little bit so there's more distance to hit him with another battlehunger flackery.
We have a bit kill with Aume.
Into the Dom kill as well.
This flackery has not looked great here but still some time to prove it's worth.
This combos look great, and it's fully online now.
I just didn't expect party to get this many extra assists on their supports.
Like, the combos lead us this.
The ET has 10, only 13 minutes in the game.
It's so much experience for a support group.
That's all they want.
They do not need items on these heroes.
They just need levels to enable the kill threat.
Run with the Tiny.
Your trio is insanely strong at first in a single hero.
Yep, put the magic resistance from deconstruction on them.
Just put the spirit on them, they lose all their magic resistance, then you get the coddle to come in, solar bind them as well.
The Tiny Combo already does absurd amounts of damage.
It's guaranteed 100 to 0 if you combine all three of these forces together.
And so now that Xtreme is down in network, down in experience, it's just easy pickings for this trio.
some work to be done in this game for XG they want to continue on in this
tournament that is for sure no one just so low taking me and is not afraid of
anything has an illusion room 2000 HP
we're behind tower guess what there's already a century there and a ward that
spotted you that whole way. Now fortunately it gets out of the Shadow Realm TP away, but
getting instant de-warded like that never feels good. I wonder why they double-warded this
this corner. One was to cause, one was to nine class, I guess they placed it.
It wasn't even at the same time.
Omeg, grappling claw and invisible! Stampede, no detection! And Tentric gets dropped,
it's far too late for that. Honestly, they don't even remember where you were.
They don't care in the sense that this game is so free for the Medusa right now.
If nothing's happening, if anything positive is happening for them,
they are weaning with their game plan.
Which is going to be an untouchable Medusa in a couple minutes here,
with how far Satanic is. Yeah, they do not have a way to really itemize against this
Deuce. No, the game plan was to win early game. Snowball, have your Ember and Axe
be super strong running to people dragging DUSA into bad fights where his team is getting
outskirts. That was kind of your game plan. That was just going out the window a long time ago,
so you're going to have to find a way to outscale this guy.
That was good. He's quick with it. Actually going to try and turn this.
Spotting the other Titan. This could be really good for them here. Get right in
in the middle, Aume. Let's lose that raptor dance, does the decent amount of damage, and
they will finish off Tiny. Can they catch those supports? I don't know. Too fast, I guess.
Alright, do need to be careful about overextending with the Tiny Lincoln, because there's a lot
more control he has to face. Brambles, call, battle hunger, where are you now? The chains
is the biggest one. And then if you clump in and you get bonds, we saw much damage
that did it around game one. That is still a spell that can really turn these BP boys
with the 2000 HPs like Jeds and BarriVision.
Yeah, especially since those supports are trying to play with this tiny yellow stun they get
fatal bodies of that. All the damage goes in the tiny, they're just going to die. Collateral
damage. No one tried to get the deny mid, but that will be a tier one tower going
XGs away. So finding a little more momentum in this game. Halt at the bleeding. Finding
in a couple little objectives here.
It just feels like X-X-S is gonna be useless.
Yeah!
The Flacier didn't find any kills.
Now he's going to try and get a pipe,
which I'm not even sure how effective it's going to be.
Like how many times is he going to pipe
before Tiny hits his combo, you know?
He's gonna pipe during the combo.
I can still get to that CT no matter what.
That is a dead support.
Gorgon's grasp.
Dead support now it's a dead core.
That fight was over with the 4 up again.
Our enemies are just gonna make sure that the extreme does not get any towers for free.
Nope. Everything's gonna come at a cost.
I mean, why give up towers when you have this doosense insanely strong?
The line of sparing good at fighting around them as well.
Butterfly in 18 minutes, that's gotta be one of the fastest butterflies.
He's only 670 GPM here.
Old Ian's skull is tower-lasted.
Slows him down.
Drums.
Oh, there's- I mean, there's an indirect buff.
The boots of bearing is going to be one of the good items to patch. Elder Titan loves that.
Pretty solid.
Pretty good to get some of the slows here from XG. Can you shoot a high ground right now? You absolutely can.
This is like, this is your do-it-yourself butterfly dying.
Why not? You have Lotus Orb on the Centaur. You have Heels from the Coddle. You have Mana from the Coddle.
There's no chip in this XG item. What are you really afraid of?
They go on you, you still have Lotus Orb into Stampede away.
That gets an incredibly good dismount.
There it is, man. They throw rambles, curse crown.
This is pretty disgusting right here.
But it's all XG's making. They took the fight, they lost them.
This is the monster you created.
Didn't cut the wave, no ability to, no way Almay wants to join this fight.
Just keep hitting him with that battle hunger phylacgery.
You get him, X-X-S.
Wax in, goes to the call, tossed in from no one.
Puts both FY and X-S in kill threshold. They will both fall.
Now, hitting the backline, Ember Spirit tries to do what he can here.
It's not much, sadly.
This is... This is just sad to watch right now.
Not of your part, though. This is...
Their dream game. Untillable heroes.
This game just don't... Okay. Wow.
Yeah, that'll do it. That was disgusting.
That was one of the most disgusting games I watched in a long time, but I can't help but feel...
It was somewhat ex-Gee's doing it.
But he props the party vision for playing to their game plan perfectly, right?
A defensive-oriented lineup, let XG run into you, use the ET call defensively.
Aw, man, it looks shocked. I don't think I've ever seen it look shocked before.
He didn't even get to play that game.
That game was over before he even joined it.
Like, what the hell happened?
Like, they just got outclassed.
I think there's a lot more potential in that extreme draft.
I know there's gonna be a lot of people who are like,
Oh, this draft, it doesn't do any damage, can't do anything, but...
Black stream.
Flactery axe was not it even the thing is even if you go to factory, okay
You have to find kills their execution
They just kept going mid on this tiny the move bottom on the deuce of failed this second and third move on the mid tiny failed
They never really went to the kez lane, which is a really good carry for fighting kills and playing aggressive
No, nothing to say you got by in the one view of me
You got doubled up on CS denies. That's a huge factor in this game
I mean part of it was probably the impact of Insanity.
I can't really blame Extreme for that.
He said guaranteed game 3.
No problem. I knew the 100%.
I knew when he said that this series is over.
He was just like, ah that's going to be a bad series.
He's doing it in a talent life so he doesn't know the power yet.
Maybe he just wanted to get out of here early.
Maybe he's already getting tired of the talent.
I will say kind of a sad way for XG to exit out for that.
It's a really good series but no bounce back.
We will. At least we hope so.
Paravision moving on to Sunday
They have a smooth run here with Paravision
Full combo back on the menu screver with all this damage amp
Keeper of the light plus tiny
I think there was one for me better combo in Dota that was caught up plus pango when pango was a hero
rest in pepperonis because this hero is completely dead right now, but amplifying all this damage
you have solar bind like 20, 30, 40% depending which level you get and then you have caudal
to lower your cooldowns on a very short cooldown hero anyway, plus you also have E.T. Aura
which we didn't even see the full potential of this lineup because the game ended too
quickly.
Yeah, I mean I cooked really.
I also think they played their laning stage in early game much better than that game
one, which they also ended up winning. It felt like they were everywhere they needed to be,
and they really understood the assignment of we have a last pick Medusa, we're gonna
always protect this hero. So the second that XG made a move on this Medusa, and they brought
Kez from the Twin Gates, every single person was there. That engagement
just worked out beautifully for Pari's favorite.
Yep, and this is gonna be what I wanted to highlight in this game is the exact fight
that Mira is talking about I think. Hopefully we'll have it up and running. After this, I liked it.
Sorry, I'm still learning. Technology is hard and coordinating is even harder apparently.
Well, the coordination on the unpair bridge was definitely there.
It was better than mine with the production. Let me tell you about it.
You're getting there.
This production was in my ear very clearly telling me how to do things, but I messed it up
anyway. It was all good.
But yeah, so, uh, exact fight that we were talking about, there's this fight at the tier one tower where I feel like the game essentially could have flipped and gone either way.
Is this it?
This does not look like a tier one tower to me.
Once again, my production will find it eventually.
Okay, but here, this is where I saw what Xtreme's draft could be.
Because, you know, you get the chains poke, you get the vessel, you get the battle hunger with the full Xtreme.
No, seriously, because they made so many moves on extreme gaming that had they actually worked out,
we may have seen something different, but they were one step short for every single move,
and then the game just out of control.
This was to me, Peak Miracle Medusa going high ground 20 minutes.
Manta into butterfly. I was wondering which itemization he's going to be going for in this game,
but he found the opportunity, he's playing against Kansk, so he's like,
yeah, now a lot of right clicks going in, so I'll pick up the butterfly for myself.
We have enough with this Holy Locket on Caudal. We have Lotus Orb multiple waves of spelling things
We're ready to go for the high ground a they don't have enough damage plus you have Caudal plus the Medusa combo infinite mana pretty much
Plus the phylactery axe. Yeah, very good. The phylactery axe only. He had the vision. He had the head and the mind
He was gonna do the dunk. That was the plan, you know. It was genius
because like he's thinking like satanic's gonna think that i'm gonna dunk him at like two whatever
the threshold is but he's gonna be a strength thread so he's slightly above it but then i have
phylactery and he will not see it coming didn't happen uh i mean it's it's the brain was alive
for a little it was there but uh not really uh if you missed out like one opportunity two
opportunities then your whole idea like sure you're still dealing good amount of damage the
extra slow with the battle hunger which is pure now but yeah they didn't really stand the chance
in this one i think they the puppy puppy cooked with the draft in this one yeah i mean i think this
was the game to what i expect to be like i said before the series early game that first 10 minutes
how is extreme gonna weather the storm or weather the storm and i feel like they didn't they
party. It is this unfortunate tier one bottom fight that we cannot look at, but you guys
can all rewind the VOD and watch it and then have me on another tab open and listen to me talk
about it. Because I feel like that fight, you know, so many things like this is so close to thine.
And if she dies, this fight opens up and you're looking at a completely different game,
but instead you get the tiny show, you know, no one is getting to play his best game,
I'm called on giving a mana, E.T. giving a damage, what else can you hope for, you know?
And Dota 2 is about inches, right?
Like, even the engagement where Willow and E.T. are duking it out for first blood,
and E.T. just barely gets it, and then all of a sudden Willow is level 5 at minute 13.
Like, imagine had the first blood gone in that direction, had the dive on Medusa worked.
Dota can look like it gets out of control very quickly,
but it's often from these little engagements that really could have swung either way.
Yeah, for sure.
Did you say duking it out, because it was...
Duking E.T.?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Nice.
Do you key it out?
No, it was very strong.
I will say I'm a little sad.
I was expecting this game to be a little more close.
And somewhere in the back of my head,
I'm also thinking they have a warlock, great team fight.
They have a kez, great late game potential as well there.
Why couldn't they drag it out?
How come it was so over?
I mean, I feel like they were trying to set tempo
and they were trying to make these moves happen.
And I've been a victim of this many times
where you do that, and then the first move doesn't work out,
and you want to kind of find the comeback fight
before you fall even further behind.
And you do that, and then you lose the comeback potential fight,
and now you're really in the thick of it, you know?
You don't have any way to really farm your way back
into the game, and the game just looks rough.
Plus, Tiny came online, and they're,
honestly, probably were just playing really well,
and I think they drafted themselves into good positions.
So it was just a tough game.
It was a tough game, and it is going to be no-one for the interview, as Tania, if you would be willing to do the honors.
I would love to. I know. I'm a huge fan of this guy. I don't know, one, can you hear me?
Yes, I can hear you. I'm a huge fan of yours as well.
Nice, how are you doing?
I'm doing great. Good feeling yesterday.
Yeah, how did it feel playing Tania with E.T. and Kotl? Explain to the people at home.
Bro, I mean, it's the best feeling you can get, you know?
You just toss people once, they die, and then suddenly you can do it second time in a fight, I don't know, it feels good.
Yeah. How do you feel about playing with Caudal in general?
Because you guys played it earlier today too. Do you enjoy having this hero on your team?
I mean, yeah, I think 9-class is like pulling sometimes these heroes from nowhere, and he pulled this hero like yesterday, and we discovered that it's kind of good.
And we want to try it out. It works, so, yep.
Do you prefer it to be played with the recall bar, or do you like it more when you play it with the current setup?
No, I think the damage is better because recall is kind of like hard to use.
Especially like you need to have this like teamfights at the start of the game and recall is like for split pushing mostly or like to catch the people.
And I feel like this damage is like more value always.
How do you feel about the mid pool after the patch? Any fun or is it kind of same as always?
I mean, for some reason, people are picking these tiny spirits, and I feel like they haven't changed at all.
I feel like just some heroes are downgraded from previous patch, and I feel sad about the patches,
because there's literally one or two heroes that has changed for mid lane,
and some vipers, invokers, wind of pains, they didn't change at all, like Phelions.
So I think it's really sad mid-patch just through the heroes, you know?
When I read it, I found zero heroes to try it in the pubs.
I personally want OD, Arc Warden, these heroes back in meta.
I feel like they haven't been played for three years. How do you feel about that?
I think OD is that for seven years.
I personally hate OD just because these heroes are straightforward.
They would recreate the hero and do some spells for him.
Not just like this, I mean, he cannot farm, he cannot fight, he can just like destroy me and keep like, you know, hitting one bad person.
It's like really set the player hero, but it was my favorite hero back in the days.
But it is what it is, you know.
Is there anything specific you would do to rework him?
Like, do you have an idea for Valve, if you could help?
I mean, I think he was like really good when the Astral was like always, you know.
So you can at least have a Potion to farm creeps.
It can be Imba, but it's dead for a second, just to make it Imba.
I'm down, I'm down.
What about Arc Warden?
Are you an enthusiast or not?
I am, I have played it a lot and I actually think this hero will be discovered sooner
later because Arc Warden, I have the build on this hero.
That's pretty good, I think.
Okay, that's nice, that's nice.
Yeah, that's kind of all I have to ask about mid heroes, Sheaver?
Do you have anything?
Yes, I do.
Congratulations on the series, no one. I've got two questions actually. My first question is
obviously you always want to win, you always want to be first, but did you guys come into
this event with certain expectations of where you should be ending? Do you guys talk about that,
or is it just play the win always, number one? The thing is, I think we are in a spot that
we lost to tournaments. We separated with our coach and we kind of new team for this
tournament, but we still have these expectations from ourselves, and we put pressure on ourselves
before this tournament, but with Achilles it's getting better and we feel more free to do
stuff that we want to do and not worry about the result. But usually it's like just win
every series by series. You don't think you're good if you want to be good.
That's fair enough, but that leads me to my next question because
Because top 3 is great. In the lower bracket, this event, you've already faced Spirit twice.
You're going to do it again tomorrow. What's going to be different? Because it didn't go
so well the first two times.
We're going to wait up with good mood and play good at it tomorrow. I believe so.
Maybe.
But now I feel like it's gone, honestly, after these two series.
I feel like we're free to do whatever.
I mean, we can lose tomorrow, we can win tomorrow,
but I'm sure we're going to play much, much better, so we're going to fight them.
Do you feel that that's because you learned from the losses that you did have for them,
or do you feel just more confident yourself as a team with just more games played
and of course also more games played on this patch?
For sure we learned a lot with our second game from them.
I think we created our style with the drafts and with the play style just because we lost to Spirit, I think.
It was like really hard punch for in our faces, basically.
And we needed to think a lot on how we want to play and approach them up right now, with my patch.
Awesome.
You know, I have a quick question about Kez.
So earlier today you guys owned with him, and just now you beat him twice in a row.
Do you feel like you as a team have the best understanding of this hero?
Do you think that it's still a work in progress for most teams an unknown variable? I
Think Satani plays the best case honestly
She just sometimes can lose his mind and jump to five years without buyback
It happened like a lot of times in our games
But he said he's playing good and he knows the every like aspect of the hero plus on top of it
He plays a plus and we played against but the field case. It's a bit different from the start
Do you think the optimal way to play Kazdan is without a battle fury, or is it just game by game basis?
I mean, I think it depends on the game and what you want to achieve, because you can play with battle fury,
but we just have a better line-up in the first game, overall late game, and they needed to play faster against us for sure.
In second game, I think we just basically destroyed them, like 12 minutes it's already was done on the map.
It's like my medusa is free farming, cause it's not happy, he's going bottom, he's dying twice, and it was like kind of over on the point over there.
Okay, thank you.
Alright, well it was very nice talking to you no one, and best of luck for the rest of the tournament, and I hope to see you soon again.
Take care bro.
Thank you, bye.
Bye.
Thank you.
Nice one, Aiden.
Thank you.
Easy.
10 out of 10.
I gained some EXP, I feel like I've leveled up.
Oh, that was a...
First interview completed.
And I will say no one is a great guy to talk to. He was very open about everything.
It didn't feel like he was, you know, sometimes, especially with the new patch, players are hiding strats.
Hated, hated hiding strats. I don't want to hear the answer.
I'll tell you the truth. Nobody's ever hiding anything. They just don't know the answer to the question.
Okay, that's fair.
They just fake it. They fake it. They fake it. Oh, I'm not gonna ask it all.
I'm not gonna reveal which heroes I've been working on.
Fake it to look like you have like, oh, we have like some hidden strats going on.
Yeah, all the time. I think it all the time
Make it till you make it
This morning after Paravision 1 was an interview with the Coloss and he was asked about supports because he got to play Jekiro
Which obviously the question was you know are you not tired of playing the same heroes and everybody got everybody gets to play these cool
New heroes and you still have to play Jekiro. He's like. Yeah, there's nothing changed for the position 5 and here he goes
Playing Albert Titan. You think he knew you know, he's like I'm telling you this is what happened
He queued up some tops after the morning series.
Some level 30 E.T. appeared in his game, destroyed him,
and he's like, this hero's pretty good.
And then he went and picked play the ones he won,
and he's like, guys, if you pick Tiny and E.T.,
that's good stuff.
And there you go.
There you go.
Claims added to his idea.
His idea.
I came up with a great strategy today.
Do you know when I started playing Tinker last year?
It's because some literally like ranked 1.5k guy
who I watched the Tinker, like the worst performance of all time
destroyed me and I'm like, if he can do it
and he played it that bad
and he's ranked 1.5k and he's a 30 thinker, I'm sure the series broke
That's how it goes, it was
and I have not accredited him for that until this time
His nickname was
LaCostaura
Yeah, I'm not that dirty, I'm not a pink spammer
No, it was, I mean, it worked out. I mean, for that whole time it worked out as well.
Take a look at the brackets. Of course, today we have mostly shown the lower bracket to lower bracket series.
We're done both featuring Paravision and both had Paravision be victorious as they are continuing their route.
And they will meet again, I would say, within this tournament. It seems like Team Spirit is their nemesis a little bit.
We can take a look at the upper bracket to see some results there too,
as it was Team Spirit that knocked Paravision down to the lower bracket.
And then this morning, Yandex was like,
don't worry, Paravision, we got you covered, we're going to get you guys revenge.
So they knocked Spirit to the lower bracket.
Yeah, Yandex is a crazy team.
This team just keeps powering up pretty much against all odds, I would say.
Like three tournaments in a row, Malady, his interview, like he broke it down.
He said, you know, here's your playground, we got third place.
Then at the blast slam, they got second place, and now what's gonna happen?
They're gonna take the whole thing.
What's that by the time?
It looks very good for them. They're cooking with some of the drafts as well.
The way they play, Chura Jr. and Notice today had insanely good performances as well.
They need to keep this up if they want to be winning it,
because potentially playing against Paravision, playing against Spirit again,
not the easiest opponents, and Team Spirit is also a team, potentially,
that if they win tomorrow, this is a team that can definitely bounce back.
Like, they just need like one day of sleep, they're good to go.
Lower bracket Team Spirit is like raid boss, you know,
if they win through the lower bracket and then go into Grand Finals,
they're a different beast, so that's a good scenario for Yandex
to be for Paravision to win there.
Yeah, it's cool that there's three Eastern European teams in the final.
At least I feel like when it was Western Europe, we did say that all the time, or I did think that all the time.
When there were three Western Europe teams, nobody was ever happy about seeing them.
Really? I thought that was super cool.
It was like, the boys, you know, all of us are...
We're all holding. We're all holding.
No, the best thing from my perspective is have three different regions represented.
Of course.
That would be my idea.
I feel like either way it's cool.
It's like cool that Eastern Europe is managing to dominate so hard.
It's cool when China was back at TI.
That's true.
It's cool when Western Europe, me and the boys, were owning.
It was cool when me and Quinn were playing all the grand finals.
Yeah, it's always cool.
It is. I would have loved to see in top three, ideally, maybe OG, Extreme Gaming,
and one of the Eastern European.
I feel like Liquid in the finals versus XG or OG.
That would be really, really cool.
Take 10.
One set for the top.
Make it to the top eight first, you know?
In Liquid, two lost today.
Even our second team lost today.
We had XG at our facility.
Oh, yeah.
I was looking at number two.
Yeah, yeah.
Almost.
But they're sick, I heard.
They waited there.
I heard the third.
Oh, yeah.
Also, it was lagging and it was like raining outside.
That's true.
I mean, it's always raining in the Netherlands.
What are you doing in the liquid facility?
What's going on there?
Getting people sick.
What's up?
I don't know.
It's all good.
We are going to be taking a look at why it is so important
to win this one in particular.
If you're looking at the Goundex
and having two previous tournament performances going
pretty high winning this one would be obviously the best one to win because you
can get points and the other ones didn't get points so these points they need
get points if you want to make it to Ice Fort World Cup in Riyadh this summer
a coming summer do you say this summer if it's not 2026 yes it's like a movie
trailer statement one man one desire
And a few coaches. Or if you're team liquid.
I just always wondered that. Sometimes I say this summer, sometimes I say next summer, and next summer still applies to this summer.
So I think you just say this when the summer is very...
Americans, am I right?
That's what I'm saying.
But not having to play qualifiers, getting all the points that you can, that's a team's biggest release.
It is, it is.
Very true.
Every point matters
Every point matters so the series tomorrow gonna be extra stakes on the line
That's right
You should tune back in tomorrow because we got a lot of action coming your way
We're gonna start with our low bracket finals with team spirit and paravision and only one team moves forward from that into the grand
Finals for PM is when it starts of course will be live a little bit more than do we have any any bold predictions here?
I think you're next will lose against either of these two things. Yeah
I think we'll lose to paravision you just said they were gonna be first
That's what malady said I repeated his word
Paravision I think
With this type of drafts they are gonna be able to finally defeat teams for 2-1 three times for paravision
And then 3-1 against yandex yandex days game number one paravision three in a row
Quote me tomorrow
finals? I think the scottle that carry vision brought out today is a big problem.
Like this is a threat they created that did not exist the day before so if teams
don't have a good answer to this it's looking like something that is very
frustrating within a draft but again if teams fear it goes through the lower
bracket and they win I would be surprised if they don't win the grand finals.
Like they always get better when they play lower bracket. That's just my take on that.
I think that if they get second chance they'll like if they win the
They'll win the second as well.
That's always how it goes for them.
That's how it feels at least.
Spirit for sure, and grandfathers are a different piece.
But I would like to really, really emphasize
how I don't think Yandex will win tomorrow.
And all my cast recurs power into it.
Oh, but it doesn't work when you say it.
But maybe I don't want to do it.
Now nobody knows.
A wave appeared.
I'll see how strong your powers are tomorrow if you want to find out obviously you gotta tune in
tomorrow also for that low rack final service is that going to be a spicy one as well
that was it for today the whole the match is done for the day so we're going to leave you with
some smiles on your faces because you're going to watch some pochampan de maje
The things that we're taking, we didn't make us what we were born to be
Just as I am, without my own
The friends that we have set, got my eye on the home
So take this on, yeah, this is on, yeah
We never bought a home, so let it go
We caught the rope, we feel the pull
We live our own standing belts, we're perfect for
We caught the car, we are
You say it doesn't go, go, go
Feeling like a drop in the water
Don't let it go, it ain't for me
Behold, drop, drop, drop, drop
Feeling like a drop, go, go, go, go
It ain't for me to think it up
I can't get it, it goes on and on
There's a map in here, but you never see it on the ice.
Dream League Season 27 is brought to you by DHL.
I like my ex over easy, she likes her scramble run, so we strike a deal with our morning
But we kind of see eye to eye
She loves a mile of a cocktail
I go for whiskey and drive
There's no common ground
When the drinks come round
Yet we kind of see eye to eye
We're so magnetic
We're both apart and yet we're the same
Don't know who said it
But yes, there's no copa opposite to trap She favors Paris in springtime
I'm more New York into art So far all the days we go separate ways
Still we kinda see how it's too hard
Yes sir!
We're so magnetic, we'll pause apart and yet we're the same
Somewhere, I read it, but it's a stone cold fight
Opposites of track, I like the valley and the north side
Cold border songs make a cry, so we justify it on the music side
Yeah, we kind of see eye to eye
We don't analyze, we just compromise
And we kind of see eye
As we give it a try
Yeah, we kind of see eye to eye
Come on, let's get ready, you know where we're heading
Giving a job, living a life, we're gonna hit the highs
When a car strikes midnight, don't stop till daylight
So banish your blues, or polish your shoes, we're gonna hit the highs
But I lose my head, I feel my body sway
When I hear that Cleo music start to play
You gotta find that feeling when your mind starts reeling
A rare in a bloke, a rare in a gore
We're gonna hit the high skinner boards
Well, I go real dizzy and I lose control, when I feel that rhythm burning in my soul.
I say come and get it, cause you won't regret it.
Follow the drum, get out of the sun, wait on to hit the house.
Awesome.
