Nah I think OG got everything they wanted. They were in position to get everything right and just barely missed the inches that make that game a stomp in their favor. Razor thin difference between a stomp in either direction.

Yea they got what they wanted, and got massively countered by Ehome. They had a HUGE gold lead, especially on QoP...the early kill lead was deceptive....track gold got out of control

AA counters the heals from Wisp to sustain, Doom counters ES and was too tanky for Tiny.

Merlini just said it, basically EHomes entire lineup countered Wisp strat....they got baited and let them have Wisp/Tiny right off, then had the rest of their picks to counter it.

Now this is the scary Tiny lineup, same one they used yesterday. Alch rushing Tiny aghs and Tiny rushing butterfly is almost unstoppable, esp with alch getting the solar crest to stack evasion

They knew all they had to do was tank through the Lina/Gyro burst and Ehome was done. Mek pipe crimson = gg

Notail had some nice doppleganger dodges.

Swinging moment was the early->midgame where OG countered something like 3 straight gank attempts.

The save by cr1t on the top lane with a cold embrace was very nice, then they turned that around into 2 kills iirc. He's a true rising star, same with miracle.

I also think Fly is and has always been a good drafter, but was stuck with shitty Hanni and Trixi forever from HoN or w/e.

I think this tournament has definitely showed that the cheese stuff/left field strats are paying off for the teams with the players who can play all these types of heroes skillfully. Chinese teams have been getting smashed by this stuff all tourney.

OG, EG, and Secret in the final stage? Personally couldn't really ask for more except to see the bulldonger up there. Poor [A].

Thinking back, is it surprising to anyone else that Shadow Fiend wasn't nerfed at all in 6.85? He's been ridiculously strong for most of the past year, excels in virtually every aspect of the game (high magic burst, two passive physical damage skills while farming as fast as an AM and w/o needing a battlefury).
