See, I have trouble judging them solely by the Epicenter games and even then those were over two weeks ago, which can be ages in new patch meta. BM has been getting banned left and right, so is phoenix. We might see offlane shaker or centaur, since it seems like you pick that position to teamfight and honestly he is pretty good counter to phoenix ulti.
They had about 15 games together, not predicting that will be the case at Manila Major rather the way it appeared at that time /shrug

I can't figure out which game to watch. Torn between OG/Empire, Wings/DC. Secret/Na'vi might be good too...fuck.

Also, there's always people in the Rerolled channel. No one ever says anything, but there's at least 6 people usually.

To me Na`Vi vs Secret is the interesting one since we don't really know what to expect from either team. DC v Wings is maybe interesting as we haven't seen DC against teams outside of NA.

ugh... this rolling rock + picture in picture on the main stream is annoying

Secret still looking like they had no clue what to do.... I wonder if Juggernaut should have gone a stats build, the BF left him too weak for too long.

Thats what Charlie said, when they should have been fighting EE picked up a BF and started farming.....maybe just get stats and blink first

Yea, I scratched my head when he picked up perseverance. I think that had Arteezys or Slardar's lanes done well (they weren't disasters, but limited farm) it might not have been an issue but their lanes were weak because of the jungler.

This production though. Gotta say there's like 85% I like and the other 15% they can iron out and make useful.

Gotta say I love watching Na'vi dominate the shit out of Secret. It's strange too, because I was a really big Secret fangay with the old roster. I think I just hate Arteezy. And I really like w33 and Misery.

I think the only time PIP would only be useful is in split team fights / multiple lane fights. Runes I can see on the minimap, who gives a shit about someone jungling or stacking...

Yeah, there's a lot that needs tweaking, but the concepts are there. The Rune stuff isn't that bad b/c the timing window of it popping up is at like :57/:58, so it is barely there. The courier cam is a cool idea but it doesn't need to be on screen for 10 seconds while it is flying out a tango. But it could be cool. The split cam for the lanes at the start is pretty cool.

Just think there are a lot of good ideas and it can lead to better implementations. Except for the Twitter bullshit. Just get rid of it.

I feel like Kunkka & Clinkz are both too poor this game. (@22 mins)

To me, if something interesting is happening around a rune the primary camera should be there. The split stuff is pretty mixed, e.g. at the start of G2 a team fight was obscured at top rune to show Drow pickup bottom rune with no one remotely nearby.
