So were there any significant meta shifts in day 2? Looking at the most played heroes it seems like more of the same from day 1? A lot of Mirana I see. What position is she being played? Dayum a lot of Chanty bans.

I think more of the criticism that was brought up about Sumail in the last thread was that he was a great individual player but that's not enough these days and you also have to be a great team player. Sumail was clearly not interested in being told what to do by Misery and probably also Fear, a problem which was only made worse because rtz was likely in the exact same boat. The reason most people were speculating why this change would be really good for the team wasn't just because of Fly and S4's player skill, but because they were both players rtz and Sumail respected and would listen to.

Mirana has been getting played mainly as a 1 and sometime 3 and 2 from the games I've seen. She has been getting a lot of farm priority.

I thought Phoenix was going to be the hot poo poo hero of the event and its barely getting played

Yeah. I've seen Miracle playing her well. Not sure who else is winning with her. Pretty sure Newbee tried her on Sccc and hosed it all up

The consensus is he cashed out all ownership in order to play for another team in OQ. Im sure he would be invited to their box if they made finals at this TI, though.

going by averages, there's only two better options than n0tail, and those are pie, which I only have a green of, and DJ, which I have as a silver, but I feel like the gold bonuses I have on n0tail make up for the difference

just out of curiosity what bonuses do you have on notail and dj?

I don't blame you for not playing pie, but I'd still pick DJ unless you have like teamfight/stuns/wards for notail and none of that for DJ.

Also I have DJ in today so we can compare the two later :v:
