ASK ME ABOUT KISSING A GHOST
I would like to emphasize that Jimmy "Demon" Ho is officially better at Dota 2 than Clement "Puppey" Ivankov.

Secret losing is the best schadenfreuden but to be fair, they did play really well (barring envy rofl) and managed to hold high ground for a long time while >10K gold behind.

I've been trying to explain to a friend who knows nothing about dota why I keep laughing when Secret loses and the only analogy I could find was if Lebron era Heat had barely squeaked into the playoffs then get drummed out first round.

I'm mad that the forums kept dying during the secret games so I couldn't make fun of them :reject:

Oh well, them tying with synderen is hilarious enough on it's own.

To be expected, it was still a good effort for an open qualifier team.

What I didn't get about LGD/Secret is why LGD didn't just try split pushing with the Ember.

They were but couldn't do it near the base or they would die

The Yankees get to the wildcard game and the other team tosses a perfect game.

Its a lot like the Big 3 Heat losing to the Mavs in the Finals, except if Lebron returned to Cleveland in the following offseason and then went back to Miami with Kyrie Irving in tow after losing the home opener, then getting swept by the Bucks in the first round.

Also can someone with the client please gif EE getting killed by his own team because that was just perfect. I'd it myself if I wasn't stuck on my laptop.

The fact that he bought back and immediately fed himself is just the perfect summary of his Dota play.

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.

You could argue that there's better options available than Artstyle and Ditya given that the CIS scene is otherwise shattered in a million little pieces. VP quickly jumped on Ramzes and Lil before Navi goes shopping.
