When a man lies he murders some part of the world. These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives. All this I cannot bear to witness any longer. Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home?

How does Xboct get so big so fast? Even when he's chasing people and trying to fight dude is just crushing the net worth chart.

Na'Vi is going to lose to TongFu, Critshaker is garbage.

Despite some of his questionable decisions he has always been really good at farming.

Turns out giving Burning an hour of farm on Medusa doesn't bode well for the other team.

Also good on him for buying that rapier.

I tuned in when VG were up 16-2 after twelve mins...incredible comeback and a great game there from BG. The Venge did so much work and almost completely nullified the Axe, even after Axe had such an amazing start.

BG were never ahead that entire game, even when the GG was called, and at one point were 22k behind.

That's kind of been the strategy for any team Burning is on. People call it "4 protect 1" and so on, but it's really just sacrificing the team net worth so that one guy can have it all. Burning really doesn't go AFK farm for an hour, he does show up in fights, but the team is always fighting a bit short handed.

Naga and Tinker had the same effect at the height of their powers, just these big gold vacuums that went around hoovering up the map while everyone else had to make do. The answer is, don't give them a whole hour.

I was miscounting games and Secret had already clinched before that game, oops.

Big God's last game is against EG so they could finish second or third (depending on if VG beats Secret) if they win.

Na'Vi is fifth right now but both iG and HR can pass them because of tiebreaks with one more win, each. Na'Vi has already played all their games.

HR is guaranteed top 12 now. I think LGD and c9 Might be as well due to the 10-14 ranked teams playing each other quite a bit in the last few games but I'm not 100% sure.

There. Now it's perfect.

Why does Notail always get unconventional heroes? It's always either Wisp or micro for him. When was the last time he played AA or Jakiro or whatever?

It must be a personal preference thing, because Aui was also really good at micro, but played all kinds.

Usually having someone that can play them that well is something to take advantage of.


I don't get the DK pick. I guess it is just for all out push midgame so either way this game will end before naga is 6 slotted. iG have decent counter though.
