Corea stronk. Kimchi taking over.

 

[Sulimo]

They should bring the Korean casters back, I miss them. So go MVP, make sure Korea sends some casters again next year.

 

[Mr. Pink]

LGD broke resolution with that game 3. Thats why supreme general xiao8 dragged the game out so long, to break empires spirits so hard they would lose to kimchi.

 

[communard]

C L O W N 9

 

[Ninjerk]

why do they like gyro so much

 

[communard]

It's over. VG don't understand Dota anymore. Phoenix has Midas. Top 8 here we go.

 

[communard]

chinks are ddsosing because they know they lost

 

[Ninjerk]

He's actually going for Radiance.

 

[communard]

the fuck else is he gonna do?

 

[Inspectah]

tragic

 

[Ninjerk]

I thought Manta was the next choice if you can't get a good timing on Radiance

 

[Ninjerk]

Womboed in top lane :D

 

[communard]

Not against those heroes.

 

[communard]

holy shit iceiceice is so fucking poor

he fucking dumpstered bone-chan top and now he has half the networth ROFL

 

[communard]

ROFL

 

[Ninjerk]

Yeah Envy, buy Deso, backdoor, and shoot heroes.

 

[Saark]

C9 again prioritizing Gyro, a hero they had little to no success with. Same for wisp. Earlygame went surprisingly well for them though, even though Iceiceice seems to have stepped up his game after failing completely yesterday.

Eventually the little mistakes added up, and Vici is one of the best teams at punishing even the tiniest mistakes. Farming the jungle by yourself with 5people missing is a bad idea. Not guarding your spells against the arguably best rubick player in the world is a bad idea. Building a soul booster and satanic and not doing anything with it is a bad idea. After the 10th time rubick blinks in and lifts with aa and lina following up with iceblast and the laguna, I would imagine someone would get a goddamn linkens and use it properly to counter that play. Bone 7 had the linkens, he just didnt utilize it well. Their hailmary "pass" to backdoor the tree with backdoor regen up was just pure desperation, even without anyone defending that would have taken about a minute to work. Should've just fought it out like men instead of going for this kind of play, they had a decent chance of atleast defending once and hope for VG making a couple of mistakes themselves. They were already quite cocky, Super sitting on 8k gold and not buying boots of travel or a refresher, and getting an octarine core on rubick is pretty much useless. Whether you have 0 seconds, 1.5 seconds or 2seconds cooldown on spellsteal matters little when it takes up to 4seconds before the spell you stole is actually usable. But I guess that's the reason why C9 often fails in high-pressure situations like this, they are just too emotional and momentum-based a team to finish what they started.

Game2: Yeah... no, 20 minutes in and with that draft C9 may aswell call gg.

 

[Ninjerk]

They have no discipline.

 

[Mr. Pink]

I feel like it's safe to say that Fy is the best support player ever to live right now. I suspected it but I knew it the moment he bought octarine core and went god-mode on c9.

Today was an amazing day. ROTK leading EHOME to an amazing victory against secret, MVP slaying empire with an amazing game 1, and VG just dismantling c9's no stun lineup was a pleasure to watch; even though it was a lost from minute 0, just for the flawless performance of fy and fenrir.

 

[Ninjerk]

Another Razor pick by VP zzzz

 

[flyingjohn]

What the hell is going on with the camera and microphones?
Nice production values valve,i hope there wont be any huge delays like yesterday.

 

[Great Deceiver]

I've never seen a Phoenix own so much early game and throw so hard before. How many dive /supernovas without spirits in a row? 3?

I don't think VP has a chance anymore.

 

[Great Deceiver]

What a fucking disgusting ugly game.

 

[Malakal]

Even without Solo the 322 spirit is strong with the team!

 

[Nryn]

Drafts that run on a timer are performing rather poorly this TI, and so I'm surprised teams keep drafting without late game insurance. Not surprised at all that VP eventually lost.

I can remember just one game from VG in the group stages where a draft that operated on a strict timer actually managed to overwhelm the opponent and prevent a comeback.
