Of course the best 9 hours of DoTA have to happen when the rest of the world is asleep. Thanks US timezone.
And let's throw 8 hours of work on top of that.

Synderen explained this once but I completely forget. I think it's something to do with killing the ranged creep?

I think it had to do with them being tanky, but I feel it's still dumb.

He also bought an aghs (not just an aghs, but aghs as first big item) :(

Makes last hitting easier since good luck using Zeus Auto Attack for that, also Early on Chain levels are actually more damage than Static Levels though a bit more mana intensive obviously..

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?

So Oldboys are crushing. That might be the best version of early aggression I've ever seen.

Game 1 of OldBoys vs Tongfwuz is pro-watch if you want to see clowny pub strats go into a pro game and own and win and draw an early GG.

After the wolf

Man, this winter wyvern from Newbee.Y is doing work.

I like how they purposefully give Gyro a rampage but still continue playing afterwards.

POYO AND TEAR
Since I enjoy doing this kind of stupid poo poo: Group B scenarios:
- If one of CDEC and Wings 2-0s the other, that team is 1st place.
- If CDEC and Wings tie, then whoever gets more points in their last match is 1st. If both of them then get 0-2'd, then there's a 3 way tie with HGT, and assuming they use head-to-head to break it that gives us 1. CDEC (3-1 against the other two) 2. HGT (by head-to-head over Wings) 3. Wings.
- If HGT 2-0 Wings, Wings 2-0 CDEC, and CDEC 2-0 TongFu, then HGT is out. If HGT 2-0 Wings with any other combination of other results, HGT is second. If they do not 2-0 Wings, they are out.
- TongFu is dead unless all of the following happen: they win out, Wings 2-0 CDEC, Wings 1-1 HGT.
