Lets go Faceless. keep the win streak alive

DC vs OG, two teams that have hardly played since TI6. I go with the team that had a few more games, and DC with an early exit.

I feel DC roster is stronger tho, except for Jerax all the other positions Digital Chaos has better players, on paper at least. w33 might crush ana mid. Unless OG adapted their playstyle to help him more. Excited to see Blitz work as well. Whatever happens they will get matched with either faceless or eg. So, win or loose, the test is in the next phase.

Big difference in Ana and Notail when doing that interview. Notail is messing around while Ana is considering replies and so on. He seems like an introvert, like 1/3 of humanity, mostly can't tell the difference that clearly though. As he grows more used to English interviews and have stock replies it will be hard to notice.

That's for sure, but that argument goes both ways. What we have going for og, is the few times we saw them they played well (some things to adjust but top3 mdl), while dc showings on elimination mode were subpar.

I think OG are the only team that can pick ES with a straight face these days
E: i would totally say "fuck it" and put DS mid as OG but i get why they arent

OG was once a meta definer. They picked a lot of weird stuff when no one believed it was good.

rip bracket maybe OG can win 2-1 at least haha

I wonder how much came down to that Jerax first blood feed. It gave ursa a much faster boots to chase down a slow bootless invoker

s4 offlane is something else

OG actually still has a good shot at winning after their shit start. Imagine if things didn't even go well for DC early game

stream so laggy, too bad

That was reaaaaallyyyy nice by OG

The classic let's go up the ancient ramp against DS, ES into getting raped.
|
|
|
game losing stuff right there... taking a shitty fight outside base with dark seer trying to run in for the vacuum :D
|
Not a great Game 1, if I'm honest.
|
|
Russian Federation27008 Posts
These teams are not exactly good.
|
The wombo is too strong for OG. Lol Saksa, blinking in a few seconds before Nova was up.
|
|
This game is weird, without a good initiation with DS/ES, OG is kind of fucked because BKB Ursa just munches onto Jugg but when the initiation is good Ursa is useless.
|
That fucking vacuum into icewall synergy. OG heroes has so much synergy in their teamfight
|
To be honest both teams look pretty weak
|
Misery getting caught out way too much
|
lol DC getting trolled so hard
|
Force Staff Gaming.
I forget who first started doing that a lot during the last season. But it really counters a lot melee-based lineups.
|
They only look weak because both teams favor 5 man teamfighting, no flashy stuff. OG itemization is actually perfect on all 5 heroes.
But yea i only want to watch faceless vs eg
|
Get this over with so we actually see some good dota. Faceless hype!

The play between s4 and jerax

Being able to hook the ET spirit makes no sense.

And that's a win for the viewers, no shitshow of radiance naga vs morph.

Half the reason they got so far in TI was because they were the only team to abuse timber as a 3rd core

Well it's true CDEC was underdog before TI
But Newbee did great with a variety of strategies
And then just stopped playing dota

I love resolution, I do think he's actually like underappreciated given how hard he has to work to carry his games but yeah, i don't know maybe DC is a team that struck gold in TI but is fading away.

i'm sure everyone expects EG to win or whatever but faceless is dominant. they are way above every other SEA team and even though you could say sea isn't that good of a region, Faceless looked pretty clean and I think they'll upset EG.

i agree, i don't think SEA is good either but I do suspect Faceless in being a good team. honestly though, MVP and Execration look like hot garbage.

At this point in the season it is hard to pick favorites. No reason EG should be heavy favorites over Faceless. Both have new talent and veterans. I'm going to predict 2-1 Faceless since they have been playing a lot more.
|
I think faceless are REALLY good, but their first international lan should throw them off just a bit and I expect EG to be hungry and smarting after that Bo1 defeat to NP at northern arena
my so-far-perfect bracket puts this series at 2-1 for eg
|
You guys have been overrating EG. Good individual skills definitely, but they haven't figure out their team play. I mean they can't even win Ehome who is literally losing to every single chinese team in scrims or pro matches

I didnt try to analyze anything here. Its just that both got second at ti, and after that they both look bad.

I'm not disapointed because dc lost, i'm disappointed because it seems that during their hiatus they didn't train.
And about liquid, i believed in them through their initial rough phase, believed them until the end of boston qualis, but the roster change just hit me a bit... dunno, bulba was neither the problem nor the solution, but damn, this was the team who stuck together trough whole last season.

Jabz not used to playing timber, normally ice plays it, so no surprise. Other then that too many small mistakes. Sumail hit all the important arrows too.

EG are still OK, as it's the team I root against, it would not be fun if they played like shit. They're still super boring though.

I think stuff like blink and force is way more important. Aghs is more luxory for nyx.

Well on hindsight, EG should have rushed a gem when 5 manning. Getting wiped once or twice pretty much means game over to them, gem loss doesn't matter

That's so sad, EG are forced to stay because you never know what might happen and faceless has absolutely no urge to even try to break highground anytime soon. Icefrog please.

Yeah, that rosh without sentry was game losing. I don't know if EG would have make it because that's a line up so far from their limited comfort zone though but it would have at least made the first highground push a bit less pathetic.

Wasn't just that Roshan either. Seemed like there were hardly any Sentries all game and Iceiceice got to do whatever he wanted. Dunno what the supports were really doing.

If the game goes late enough TA/Ursa tend to be nonfactors

|

It's kind of obvious that Faceless needs to simply endure because they have the better late game.

Their better late game is far from obvious.

the problem is that 1 fail chrono = gg
|
Is it my terrible English or notail pronounces "haggis" when he wants to say aegis?
|
using chrono for 1 target is not enough
|
While i think EG has a good grasp on this game
I see Faceless is hanging there and if they manager to farm both weaver/invoker enough this Will be interedting
Althou with bat, feels like EG wont have mucho problems

Their starting lock down is low so they have to rely on items. That hurts their late game damage output.
Invoker with Void can effectively give Ursa a hard time getting his damage out. I don't see the burst potential of TA and Ursa prevailing when the top cores for each side has 20k NW.
Disruptor is their best counter tool to keep them in this game and he can be easily picked off.

|
|
Roshan bases Ursa game 2 and now a Troll Warrior denies Weaver. Faceless are hacking this game.
|
If only void had a dagger...

Walking into chrono does that.

That walk into the chrono, that was so awful.

Jabz keeps invoking ghost walk when he's doomed alraedy.

Impressive prediction so far, Sn0_Man

Good shit by EG.
I keep getting the first series right but the second one wrong. Now my brackets are ruined.
|

I walked in, looked at bracket, and... Wings got 2-0'd in a series? That's not what I was expecting.
|
Faceless are just too far behind in individual skill it seems. A lot of small misplays here and there that EG knew how to punish.
|
Team usless lol... If ur invoker is more usless then EEs one u are in trouble... I got baited from all These faceless hippster Fans in here..

Meh rainmaker bow is ugly anyway
|
Lol they just got beat 2-1 by eg, how is that bad? People need to stay realistic here, they only played against sea until now, cant expect them to own everyone...some people here lol
|
I think Jabz could've done better in lane and his spell usage was lackluster. Hopefully it's just a nervous issue and he can improve.

Nah, just mad. was not able to watch them play or dota in general the past month or two. Then got hyped by some comments in here. Finally have time to watch some dota and have to see this 4k Pub game....

Woops I predicted the two other teams to play this match, rip my bracket
ooooh Sumail quas-wex invoker

EG on the way to become the team with 0% winrate with Alchemist in the game.
|
Arteezy is having a sad game.
|
|
Ana's still so poor for an Alch
|
while waiting for respawn, rtz is calling puppey and kemal
|
Russian Federation27008 Posts
That was a fucking amazing combo.
|
|
Lol, I did not see that coming
|
I like the way OG's alchemist is active at the timing right before he has relic when it would be least expected for him to join a fight
|
Russian Federation27008 Posts
RIP Sn0_Man's run. It was great while it lasted.
|
|
I believe in EG they'll bring it back...
i hope xd
|
I've been richer as a drow than RTZ is now feels good
|
Notail has got an amazing game so far, going even in farm with 4hp regen nyx, getting a big stack ready for alche, sacrificing for the team this fight, real support turned into carry.
|
Haha this Alchemist is so fucking strong
|
Wow, OG is looking way better than I thought they would
|
That was extremely one sided. Will EG start first banning Alch?
|
Rip perfect bracket it was nice while it lasted
|
|
I feel like late-game Alchemist is an auto-win condition, which can't actually be true.
Maybe it's just EG?
|
i haven't really watched a lot of OG games but how is ana fitting into the team? is OG's team dynamic any different?
|
Trading the two midas on invoker and nyx was totally worth the bad start on the drow for og. Then EG decided to group with their two midas and their undefarmed drow, OG won the fight and then it was easy for them.
OG got Jerax, they won the reshuffle.

Late-game alchemist is auto-lose condition most of the time.
It was an early game stumbling by EG.

Pretty much running the same system as previous iteration.

It might look the same with Ana leading the net worth, but N0tail act more as the one that pulls the load, and Jerax being a better ganker than Cri1- changes naturally some dynamics.
More rounded team and less likely getting cornered in drafting, even if they might be slightly weaker player for player.
If s4 plays well, they are good.

Agreed. A really high impact 4 position is so important in this patch. OG doing that pos1 mid better than EG.
|
Oh I like EG's picks
Tiny hype
|
I feel less confident about OG's draft this time.
|
space created. rtz no farm for 1.5 mins rofl
|
Lvl1 rune fights never fail to feel stupid to me lol
That happy tree block though
|
Five neutral deaths before 3 minutes
|
|
game seems fuck for eg already. s4 has his specialty hero 1v1 with drow aura. EG trilane crushed, rtz has no farm for 3 mins
|
Why did they let their support sven steal the lane from the nyx? :p
|
Bring back HP removal please even if it's only for fatal bond.
|
|
So many fights and deaths
How does Sven cleave with a hammer though
|
This warlock is going into carry status

Ok thanks couldn't identify MSS' voice.

This is a very strange game. Probably due to how strong the initiation is on both sides. I guess I'd call it a scrappy game if anything.
|
|
|
I did not expect OG to beat both DC and EG 2-0, what a crazy day
|
|
I'm pretty sure EG would not feed the extra kills without the previous bo3.
|

EG is clearly the best team in the world like people told me
|
Once it gets out of the early game, EG's looked awful.
|
That was some baffling coordination from EG on several heroes at the end. Crit buying back and tping in to instantly die stuck out the most to me.
|
europe taking the honeypot bait i see :^)
|
OG looked super well coordinated
|
OG looks on the same page, which is kind of surprising.

Ana puts way more trust in fly's defensive abilities, it completely changes the player and team's dynamic. S4 is also getting used to his new role.

so EU is guaranteed 2nd and 3rd placing

Europe is usually really good everywhere but TI, where they do really poorly

On this note; 1, 2 and 3 at TI6 are knocked down to lower bracket. If Faceless takes Fnatics place, it is 1-5 knocked down.

ya but only idiots and shitstirrers call DC an eu team

Had to sleep before the og-eg series started. Did eg just play bad or was og just too good?

This team that lost in the first round playing badly is definitely NA trash but the TI6 finalists were EU.

Didn't watch the whole series, but from what I can tell, EG played quite well, but had some uncharacteristic execution errors and likely some miscommunication in teamfights. OG definitely played quite well, with Ana looking less shaky than before and the chemistry between the creative geniuses of S4 and Jerax starting to spark.

EG won the laning phase and the lost every single engagement after that in both games. dont know what was more important, how og were or how bad eg was.
about DC being an EU or an NA team. I dont know why it matters, back when LGD.int played, we all knew that it was a team of westerners playing in china. nobody really tried to argue that they were a Chinese team. The DC situation I see as being the same thing.

You're right, it doesn't really matter much in the end. It's not a useless distinction, though. Digital Chaos do represent the NA region, so it gives people in NA scene something more to cheer for. Also, it's relevant when you have to compare the strengths of the regions, where it's obvious that the presence of DC adds a lot of the NA region.

I am thoroughly surprised with the results of the matches. VP is looking really strong. Almost strong enough to take the win here at the Summit.
I am thoroughly disappointed in EG...Not that OG is a bad team...but come on guys? Just seems like some of those games should have been easily won.
It would be kind of refreshing to see VP win this tournament, even though I don't root for them it would be a nice change of pace.
Still pulling for EG here though. Get it done boys.

What makes you feel like the matches should have been easily won? Granted, EG did have the momentum for some parts, but I never felt like they should easily win.

Sarcasm or not I think these comments should all count as flame baiting at this point.

I and a few others did argue they were a chinese team. They didn't play much outside that region.

Pretty sure that guy isn't being sarcastic. Pretty much all his posts are EU > NA flame bait.

It's no more or less flame bait than a shitpost like "anyone who disagrees with me is an idiot or a shitstirrer"
