I was hoping for a trolly Bloodseeker pick, since his silence purges it, rendering the hero poo poo useless for what they are using it for.

Pretty sure he's like 9-1 on him in 6.79 or something ridiculous.

I don't think I've ever seen an offlane Engima poo poo on a farming Alchemist. Bamboe has like 37 denies in 9 minutes.

Eidelons do a ton of damage from level 1. Their attack + animation + projectile are pretty much the same as Enigma's as well, so it is easy to land all the attacks at once. So you are denying the other guy 1/4 of your creep wave generally, then you are last hitting for 120+ damage before the eidelons split. Enigma is nasty as gently caress.

Seems like you could really hurt Zephyr by just banning Storm. I realize that might give them an op hero but Blitz doesn't seem as amazing on non storm heroes so why not.

You freak me out, man!
I'm catching up on the NSL VODs right now and Korean Dota owns. And by owns I mean EOT just picked best hero Dazzle and therefore are the best team.

It is crazy how 4 NA pub stars + a kinda bad ex-NA pro are completely dismantling the Koreans though. I guess they haven't played the very best Korean teams yet but almost all of their games so far have been ~20 minute blowouts.

This is my biggest problem with him. His analysis isn't terrible and he keeps the energy up really well in long rear end solo casts but goddamn is it annoying when he keeps shouting "Kappa! Icefrog! Volvo pls!" non-stop.

I think that was because he was 1v1 against Demon more than anything. Blitz is pretty good with a few other mids but nothing as good as his Storm obviously.

The game they played today wasn't even against a Korean team.

But yes, they did beat 'Don't Die Remikz' and 'Korean Doto Best Doto' in the qualifiers

They also crushed MVPHot6 and EOT Drill in the FOMOS Dota League a few days ago.

Admittedly I don't know that much about the Korean scene, who are the top teams right now outside of Startale/Birdgang/whatever they're called these days?

Demons team banning storm in the first round in both games was pretty hilarious and I'm looking forward to more Korean teams trying out that strategy. Blitz is definitely noticeably worse on non-storm heroes.

I have no clue either, but the Startale guys is a pretty legit good team. They were at raidcall and played three fairly competitive games against Western teams. A bit of a shame that their sponsor dropped them.

e; wait, Febby joined Startale? I take everything back
