DOTA 2 - Page 843 - Video Games - Video Game Systems Forum

I just played a seer game and it was the easiest game of my life. My team was all bad too but it didnt matter. When the game started to drag i bought bots, pushed 2 lanes with shell and the game ended within a few minutes. Had a similar game with kunkka in lowpri. I should only play 'good' heroes from now on.

Apart from laning, Dark Seer does require good teammates though (or very, very bad opponents)

just want to point out that this agrees with my statement of "stop playing io"

At least 5 people told me not to play him :P Seer spamming is going well, 4-1. Give Axe/Sven/etcetcetc ion/haste, ion a melee creep gg. Good times.

jesus christ do not watch EG vs OG (w/ khezu standing in for s4 and Mad standing in for notail).

EG won both games with over 1000 GPM. Part of me hopes thats EG looking good but surely this was a massive anomaly

EG are definitely looking pretty good but OG are also way below their normal level with the stand-ins (EG would probably still be favourite vs a full OG roster but it would at least be close).

EG just got a gift as well - VGJ.Thunder with a massive throw in game 2 of the WB finals.

a real sophie's choice here kirby

devil's advocate: it is absolutely terrible the way organizers and teams deal with schedules in esports. You can't expect to maintain or grow a fanbase if your games can start anywhere from their scheduled times to an hour later. The rules need to be stricter and they need to be enforced

VGJ got to 30-8 and 15k ahead

definitely a massive throw and nice comeback from eg. Lots of refresher shards on TB and all kinds of shenanigans lol

Eg drafting looks so sketchy to me right now. Going 0-3 in grand finals vs vg-thunder was a really bad sign, if they manage to lose to navi should go with a turbo disband.

Maybe they can try something else besides DP first phase now that they’ve lost like 5 times in a row with it.

You realise that their 3 games immediately before the grand finals were 3 consecutive wins with first phase DP (game 2 of WB semi-final vs OG and a 2-0 win vs VGJ.Thunder in WB final)? It might not be optimal but was doing great for them up until those two games in the grand finals.

It takes time for new rosters to come together. I like the way EG drafted in the last three series hopefully they continue their dominance over VP tonight.

if EG beats VP its hard to understand dota anymore.

Great performance so far.

(theyve mentioned that EG won the last 10 bo3/bo5s against VP... talk about having their number o_O )
