turns out giving yourself up to get megas when your mid doesn't have buyback isn't a good idea

group B in ESL has some fun chaos potential today even if probably none of it will happen. The only thing that's "clinched" is that Beastcoast can't be eliminated. Everyone else can still finish in any of the three tiers (upper bracket, lower bracket, elimination)

meanwhile in group A there's like no drama because TP and creep have both already been eliminated (they each have one win, from a series split against each other), VP has already clinched, and Tundra only needs a split vs creep to get the other upper spot.

Beastcoast vs Allliance should be fun, Beastcoast has been on it. They were able to beat LGD (though subbed with a coach)

Important to keep in mind that the sub for LGD is TI winning player xiao8 so I wouldn't necessarily call him standing in as a massive downgrade. Nothingtosay is obviously in a different league compared to Director 8 but he's still a very good player and afaik still grinds out pubs.

lol beastcoast dropped game 1 to empire

alliance could force a playoff for UB/LB if they 2-0 liquid (already won game 1) and bc loses again

or for even more chaos if SG can take game 2 off of LGD to split that series it would be a three way tie for those two spots (empire takes the second lower bracket slot in this case)

It's really funny comparing clinkz and weaver because they're really similar but clinkz has so many steroids and weaver has like, a built in echo saber I guess

I'm sure one exists but I haven't watched much dota since the patch. I know there haven't been many pro games but I just mean in general.

I think the biggest thing you can do is end the game before he comes online, I played as him last night and ended up losing because I'm bad but also because I got outfarmed pretty badly. But even down at least one item we almost won the last teamfight with basically just a ravage + my Q

In G2 it didn't matter if Alliance won or not, they'd stay in right? Probably they wanted to try Weaver and Lycan and didn't really care.

they still had a chance at UB depending on the other two series but if they went into that game thinking they wouldn't get the results they needed from them (a reasonable expectation tbqh) I could definitely see them just deciding to experiment.

I haven't been watching closely, but the Attack Speed slow on Cripple reducing towers ability to kill creeps seems pretty powerful. In addition to the DOT and just the doggies right clicking of course.
