I mean, the play execution wasn't really everything that made up the play though. Though Dendi's execution during the play was pretty sick. He force-staffs himself out of range of Ravage, lifts the Lina, then steals Ravage (because Tide was in the black hole and couldn't Anchor Smash), then Ravages the enemy. It was also just that LoH had a BKB at ~17 minutes and that he went BKB first. It was this along with the fact that the draft and Engima build was actually just really good against Naga which had been basically unbeatable in every other game, especially Naga + Dark Seer which they had. Everyone was surprised as poo poo when they picked Juggernaut, and it turned out to be super good because of the turnaround potential. And of course, the stage it was taking place on was huge. It wasn't "standard" by any definition.

If the colorblind mode isn't pretty enough for regular people to enjoy it, then it is on Valve to improve it. League of Legends has pretty much made it so colorblind mode IS the default so there are no problems.

Can't gently caress up something that has never looked good, I guess.

I think reddit said it best. "Icefrog has really shited in this game". 10 second swaps, alchemist giving out a billion gold to his team, -40 sec respawn timers. Is this even dota anymore?

I wouldn't be surprised if Random pulls off an upset, OG has looked shaky in the groups.

This is like MvC3 where nerds bitch relenlessly about Morridoom teams when there is only one guy using that team with any success.

What changed with Warlock to make him a viable 5? Last time I played it was generally accepted that he wasn't a great support because he was so item/level reliant to do much of anything, but he's been picked a lot as a hard support in this tournament.

Decently tanky, good at zoning out offlaners and general safelane carry babysitting, lvl1 Shadow Word is very strong, bonds and rock do huge work in teamfights.

As much as I like Faceless, I don't think they deserve a direct invite. No SEA direct invite but an extra qual slot seems like a better way to go.
