Losing that team fight is so hard to do.. they're trying to come up the choke at their ancients? Wowzers.

Did they not watch the SEA quals? Ddz is their only really great player and you dont give him either Invoker or Tinker. Idk what to even think about Liquid, best team of day 1 to the worst in day 2 maybe. Dont get how they can be so inconsistent.

What's worse about the inconsistency is they beat good teams on day1 but they're losing to bad teams on day2.

Nice to see the bottom teams fight well against the top teams though. Empire smokes IG.

Parity is out of control right now. At the half way mark 11 teams are all within 2 games of one another. No one is officially eliminated just yet, and the top two slots still very much in play. I'd say only VG at 7-1 is for sure going to qualify in the top 10. Everyone else could potentially be eliminated if they have a poor showing the next two days.

Tomorrow is going to be a big day for securing placement.

There are lots of ways to deal with Naga's illusions. Tiny, Sven, Tinker, PA, PL, Medusa, Specter, Timber, any melee carry with Magnus, etc. They are just really strong against the current meta of singe target mid-gamers like Razor, Skywrath, Viper, Brew, etc. If I were to do anything it would be to nerf the duration of the illusions from 30 to 20 (same as PL) so Naga can't just sit back practically on her own side of the river and siege the enemy base with impunity.
Some others may have pointed it out, but none of those heroes are particularly useful as her illusions should never be grouped up.. Its more like the old days where if you didn't seriously delay AM his battlefury he'd farm like crazy, except that with Naga you also get to safely keep every lane pushed. Another possibility might be limiting the move speed on the illusions.

She's definitely much weaker than she was when Arteezy brought her back a few months ago, but the only real way to beat her is to snowball hard or have a strong gank+push lineup that delays the radiance while simultaneously taking away the map before she can farm.

They just need to add , any dmg taken during her ult makes you break free , would solve a lot of shit. Will stop the radiance bullshit , do i want a radiance to push lanes and fuck over my ult , or do i want my ult to set up fights and make cheap ass get away when we are losing a fight but suffer in pushing lanes. That would be a great change imho , would stop this bullshit of her being fucking OP at the end game and i for one would love to not see her drafted anymore , such a dumb design.What i mean is , games with her in it are fucking drawn out bullshit and boring as fuck to watch.

Ult breaking free on damage would be broken as fuck, as in a lot better than it is now. Unless you mean they stay invincible but can move, but that makes little sense. Also that wouldn't fix like anything. Turn off radiance, sleep, abuse it by breaking people one by one, then turn it back on and keep split pushing.

I think if her mirror images ended at 300% damage taken increase instead of 200%, it would solve most of the complaints. That, or target the fact that she can farm from the base, if your illusions could only walk a certain distance instead of a timer, it could be interesting

The Fnatic vs Alliance game had some interesting radiance abuse. Fnatic had Lone Druid along with morphling, they'd move radiance onto the druid before creating replicants then use those to safely push the lanes which also gave morph more farm. Druid was also grabbing illusion runes and sending the burn illusions into lanes.

The problem there being, if you have a Morphling AND a hero farming Radiance you're more than likely going to lose in the first 25 minutes. Unless you're playing a shit team like Alliance.

DK looks like an absolute joke imo. Even the games they win are close. Favorites my ass.

LOL THIS MAELK AND AYESEE CAST. Maelk got pissed at him for arguing over weaver item selection and he just wont let Ayesee talk now, just keeps interrupting him and continues talking. I love it.

Titan fucked that up and still beat a 6 slotted Naga on the best Naga player in the world. As we said, the right lineup can beat Naga. I forgot the Pugna lifedrain instagibs naga illus too and he abused the hell out of that.

They could have pushed 30 minutes earlier and just flat out won but got scared where an aggressive team like Na'vi would have won at 15-20mins.
