I mean, I know the EG draft wasn't great, but that Luna Lesh combo was pretty hard to post up against.

Do we have a running list of heroes that have not been picked but are CM enabled? I don't want to cross reference a bunch of lists to remove redundancies.

Just looking through datdota and this really surprised me:
Winter Wyvern 22 6 16 0.273

Might be Na'vi just dragging the statistics down but that seems like a really really bad winrate.

Also interesting:
Bloodseeker 28 11 17 0.393
Razor 21 7 14 0.333

I get half!!

That isn't totally correct. There was an Ursa. That said, that's a very disappointing list. I remember a few months ago when everyone was being used, and everyone was really excited for what weird strategies was going to appear at TI. That many unpicked heroes is just discouraging. I know the amount of viable heroes always narrows after some time spent after a patch, but it's always lame to see samey matches over and over.

Still likely that some teams are saving pocket picks for the brackets.

Yeah, both games matter. When we're in BO3, you'll see the team that won game 1 relax and do things that might be weird.

There's no live crowd, and real losses to losing any game. You'll see unusual stuff as soon as this phase is over and the hollering audience arrives.

I'm pretty sure that a few heroes that aren't picked yet will get picked for a couple picket strats but there's probably 8-10 heroes on that list that are complete asscheeks/useless and there's no chance that we see them this TI.

90-93 heroes out of 103-104 is still good.

Datdota is not counting the wildcard matches as TI matches for whatever resaon. The data is just from group stage.

Wow Empire just came completely unraveled in the last 8 minutes. Storm just hanging around behind the mid T2 with curse/BH up and dying instantly was incredibly bizarre.

Empire just seems to be on tilt now. One of their strengths is their teamwork in teamfights but they haven't shown anything of it this ti.

CDEC have been genuinely good (as in, no longer a joke and able to hang with the top teams of China) for almost nine months now, and VG has lost grip over the meta since this patch was added. Iceiceice even said in an interview he has no expectation for placement and they could end up anywhere.

There was a Nether Strike into Walrus Punch earlier and the game didn't know which descent to terminate first so the dead BH stayed in the air for a second longer than it should have.
