it was already leaked that TL had a direct invite to TI before he made that video so his prediction wasn't as glorious as it's being made out to be.

also the talent has been picked and notified and from my understanding 4 teams have already been contacted by Volvo. EG, TL, OG, and one CN team

That BB triple kill on death was just ridiculous. Seems like the correct way to counter BB is disable him for the entire fight and hope he retreats.

Or don't let him farm.

one of the big problems with bristle is the fact that you now have two ancient camps on each side stackable every minute. if icefrog could return the two-minute timer to just ancient camps he wouldn't be such a ridiculous hero

Nice to see liquid playing at their potential. Same with EG honestly, they should have been in more finals this last year.

Bristle needs to get nerfed down to Techies level.

Agreed, bristle needs to be "nerfed" so hard that he's so OP he wins TI.

wait I thought the problem with Bristle was his quills and damage reduction from behind

funmanguy

Its also his main defining characteristic, and icefrog prefers to keep the OP things OP but nerf around them to balance. Also hitting his strength gain will slightly lower his health in mid and late game, which means less quills proc.

The change makes his early/mid game a lot harder because of less health and regen. If you still can't gank him before he comes online, you deserve the quills.

no it was clearly his devastating right clicks!

just like how crystal maiden is always running out of mana

e: These changes do make sense, funmanguy is exactly right when they say that Dota balance is basically always 'leave in the crazy thing about the hero, make the rest of their characteristics something you have to work around' and to be honest this is why Dota is great!
