No I mean when miracle died and didn't have one, LGD jerked around too long and got nothing out of it. They didn't even try to force it

LGD assumed he had buyback, probably, considering how far up he was playing. They also got to OG's top rax with about 15 seconds left on Miracle's deathtimer, they figured it out too late but that's not completely their fault.

Just you wait, in about a week everyone's going to be clamoring that this patch is awful, that so and so is broken etc etc. The cycle of dota patches continues

Out of curiosity, are there any favorites in this year's tournament or is it a pretty wide open field? I recognize a lot of the names/teams from last year but I don't have any idea about the relative merit of these teams presently.

probably not as much as in previous years, but most people expect OG / wings / liquid to take it, with EG, newbee, MVP, navi, possibly secret also looking good

It's a little bit juvenile, but it's simple and it's timeless.

We let it be known that Schnorkles, for a snack, eats tiny pieces of shit.

You're picturing it and you're talking about it. That's a win in my book.
