cruising

I could watch fly and notail cast a connect four match.

"So Smart"

Mirana???? What? I thought that was an easy TA pick there.

Edit: Nevermind, I missed the TA ban. I r dumb.

LOL Matu giving them the bird after that triple kill.

Tough to imagine bristle making it to TI in current form.

Meh. TL outdrafted EG every game it seemed, even game 2. They look very strong at the moment and winning without Lone Druid is a good sign for TL. EG gets a break now and then MDL and TI. It secured TL's TI invite though.

the next set of buffs/nerfs will be verrrrrrry interesting, since they will determine the TI7 meta. bristle almost undoubtedly getting some kind of nerf..... probably STR gain nerf would be fair. i like having the hero be viable (all heroes should be really), so hopefully they don't overdo it

didn't catch ALL of the grand finals but the casters match with BDN/Fly cast was more entertaining for me lol

ROFL that was lightning fast. Based OSfrog (maybe he's gonna do another tiny balance patch in a little bit)

O damn did i call that str gain nerf or what

hmmm, * Gyrocopter: Movement speed increased from 320 to 325
^ honestly that's pretty huge. ****ing roaming Gyro is gonna be everywhere i think... hero was already really good with the new rockets imo

* Nature's Prophet: Treant damage increased from 32 to 36
^ pretty huge DPS increase

* Pugna: Attack range increased from 600 to 630
Fffffffyea!!!! Been playing this hero on offlane, even better for that now. Also good in mid I would suspect too

* Tiny: Craggy Exterior damage increased from 40/50/60/70 to 60/80/100/120
^ OK wow, that's i think the biggest buff of this patch maybe. wow the damage increase is huge. i wonder if even like a HC Tiny with max craggy could be good, it's a ****ton of survivability and might be good for jungling with that damage increase

* Windranger: Windrun slow increased from 8/16/24/30% to 15/20/25/30%
Pretty nice buff for a hero that seems on the cusp of being a meta hero

the 5 ms changes never change anything

probably for most heroes but gyro can run ppl down with rocket barrage lvl 1. it's like nerfing jugg's MS, it makes a diff

meh, hes literally 1% faster (phase boots carrier too), yay.

https://www.dotabuff.com/heroes/gyrocopter/trends

0,34% higher than yesterday at a whopping 46,46% winrate

Nice summary ogm18k

Lacoste called a pick and called himself the white WinteR, lolol


Apparently you can block both radiant offlane camps with clockwerk cogs, that's pretty amazing usage of the spell... Lil just did this vs Empire

Yeah those boxes are pretty big, camps are hard to stack and if you dont watch where youre standing while waiting for bounty rune you can easily block either camp

Brewmaster Aghs seems really weak. The best part about it is the double Thunder Clap, which is pretty underwhelming for an aghs. It seems the best part about the hero is just the pure utility the ultimate gives you by being invulnerable for 16-20 seconds. Ok, he does have a ton of crowd control ability, so I guess he is more of a utility support role (tornado 6 seconds, blind, and dispel magic) than anything.

Kind of an interesting thing: Axe counters Oracle just the same as Dazzle basically, since Oracle's ult is basically a better version of grave

So.. whats a good silencer build post forcestaff nerf? Don't know him very well but seem to be doing pretty well just based on the strength of his q in laning and wtfpwnbbqing team fights with the ulti.

midas, drums, atos, dragonlance, forcestaff, bkb, mek if support,

attack speed stuff like AC/moonshard if you need lots of attack damage

intel stuff once rich like shivas or sheepstick

VP's teamwork is insane lol, styling on LGD

1st pick AA = instant draft throw?

secret vs vp finals Hypeeee

wonder if secret gets TI invite if they win

I think they will for sure if they win. But it depends on the total number of invites this year. If they go for less than usual then maybe not.

lmao if vp wins this game 1
