top 3 teams in the world right now are basically PSG.LGD, EG and T1

the dpc standings clearly say that it's EG, PSG.LGD, and VP

I would love to see a new team win it if OG can't three-peat though and t1 is probably at the top of my list

I agree with goo on this one tbh, T1's performance on LAN has been absolutely outstanding, they're going to be really dangerous for anyone at TI

DPC standings don't necessarily tell the whole story. For example VP didn't perform well at all at the Major.

I'm rewatching True Sight 2018 now because of the thread and lmao I love how dismissive LGD are of everything OG does after the first game.

Like it's completely unfathomable to them that they're just getting outplayed/outdrafted and rather than try to figure out what they need to change they just keep coming up with excuses.

That was the one that gave you the scepter buff for like 30 sec? And it was a t1/2 item?

It was hysterical because some heroes can't drop the scepter so it broke them. Did you get a permanent meepo clone or some nonsense?

It was like 5 minutes lol

there was a pro player interview in the second DPC league where they were interviewing a support and they asked him what hero he wants to play but his captain/team won't let him and he basically said this same thing

I feel like he would be especially good against heroes with spammy abilities that are currently meta like timber, lina, and invoker

EE on bad teams is a gift. EE jumping between teams when they are developing a rapport and showing some promise is kneecapping the whole region.

People were literally just saying at the end of the NA quals that if they could find a better carry than sammyboy then 4zoomers could actually compete

Say what you will about EE as a person/teammate but he's absolutely a better carry than Sammyboy, don't complain about your monkey's paw wish coming true :colbert:

Turns out a 1600 range instant stun is really good

adding caustic to it made it even more fun and then the change to make caustic do %maxhp damage got even better

Sudden Loud Noise posted:

Ever since the caustic %maxhp change happened I've been dying to see a Echo Slam level hit in a team fight. Has there been any memorable ones in pro games?

pros like never buy aghs on sand king and it annoys me a lot

like I understand why they do it (they're cowards prostrating themselves to appease the current meta of offlaners buying mostly utility items(I don't know if this is the actual meta but I feel like that's all I see sand kings buy)) but it still annoys me.

But to give credence to your wish lemme tell you I have hit those and it's just as if not more satisfying than an echo slam.

e: realtalk though I think the real reason sand king doesn't buy aghs in pro games very much is because for it to have a big impact you need to be greeder than most games/teams allow the offlaner to be because it will absolutely come at the expense of your 1 and 2, and in the bracket I play in they are not efficient enough for my greed to negatively affect them.

Did the most recent fiftEE/fiftEE make its way here? Because this seems like the most Envy clip imaginable that isn't forgetting a TP scroll when the enemy is pushing 'racks. It's exactly why I'd never want him on my team but generally enjoy watching him.

I'm just shocked Dawnbreaker wasn't added to Captains Mode :(

I suspect the coming a/b/c/etc patches in the next few weeks will include minor tuning of her until icefrog is satisfied she's in the right place to add her, so she'll be in before TI.

I feel like they've done it that way before but I can't think of a specific example.

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.
