I feel like undying needs items now with tombstone getting nerfed so much but it's also hard to justify giving him farm priority so he doesn't really have a place anywhere

Even if VGR did drop out there would be 4 wildcard teams and 3 spots to fill, you'd still play those games

They had a gem, saw a ward, smoked under it, and then still tried to rosh

Wings wins the battle of who can pick the weirdest poo poo

That's why wings are the best team. Some site had 6.88 stats for every team and Wings had like picked 20 more different heroes than any other team. And it usually works for them

LGD are playing with a sub. They're still blundering pretty hard but playing with rabbit instead of sep is a big downgrade

Thank you.

Goonsider info:

They are attempting so much this year at key arena that if they pull it off it will easily be the best broadcast we've ever done. The games are already some of the best group stage games I can remember so I assume the main event will follow on, leaving the broadcast as the only real concern left for me. Cross all your fingers please.

How cool is pit lord

I haven't followed pro Dota since the last TI, I thought MVPP had to break up because of national service in Korea or something? Are they still the same?

March had to go into the military, some of the players left, and the two mvp teams merged together with the players that were left

It still explodes when the creep dies, but it also explodes on its own after a certain amount of time

There's no MVP revisionism

Personally, I've been making GBS threads on them because they have been mediocre overall and yet get huge amounts of hype for a flaky rear end team.

5-6th at manila, 4th at shanghai, won a couple lans in between, even if they lose here a 5-6th result is still really loving good

Even if you are consistent about saying they're actually bad or some poo poo, all that means is that you're consistently wrong. Congrats on that? :confused:
