Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
Watching blitz/merlini/purge/cap/maelk stream their run in the qualifiers is interesting. Didn't catch the Kaipi games but it seems the combo of Sing, Bone7, CWM, Bamboe + random romanian is mostly crushing, wonder if mad is out.

MVP has quietly gone from top 8 nobodies to scariest team in the world. How the gold changes favor fighting over farming, favor their super aggressive playstyle.
I don't think Secret will do too well on this patch. Envy is great at aggressively farming - not fighting.

On the contrary, I think Secret will do great since diving is much easier to punish with cheaper TPs and armor aura on towers. EE will do whatever it takes to win, he will adapt if it's necessary. I mean EG pretty much riced their way to top 3 finish. The meta is pretty wild right now, so it's obvious aggression is the king, but give it a month and you will have a much better picture of what the patch is about. Sadly, I think the one thing that would cripple most of the early game aggression was kept more or less intact - Satyr hadouken.
Aggression & pushing is often popular early in the patch since people haven't really honed in on whats ideal. MVP Phoenix got shat on 2-weeks ago by OG & VGR and fnatic at ESL One Qualifiers.
The thing about Secret is that they (and old Cloud 9) were often better at moving around and getting more than the opposing team. Were I betting man, I wouldn't be wagering anything for quite some time. There is too much flux and games by Secret/EG are too infrequently to really predict the future.
Its interesting how many players were buying the +20 move speed item casually.

It was mostly the other team dicking around and not wanting to finish though, at least that's what it felt like, but I really hoped they would lose - making your support buy wards 80 minutes in when your carry is swimming in gold is criminal. Veggies had no counter initiation.
