Mostly, but I think there have been 2 games where Furion or Lone weren't 1st or 2nd ban and they still didn't even pick them and try to force the opponent in to the defense. Last night neither were banned and Alliance still went Razor / Doom 1 and 2. They're just all over the page it seems and unfocused.
If you keep all lanes too far pushed then the majority of your team only has neutrals for farm, which means that if you are not careful your team will fall behind on farm. if you do not have a lane pushed then you are vulnerable. It takes more map awareness to keep track of how all the lanes are going to push. I don't know how much of a problem that is a pro level, but at low level it's hard enough to keep track of where their players are, without also having to constantly keep an eye on the creeps in the lanes. You always have to plan your fights in advance to get the lanes where you want them before you have to fight.
Maybe yeah I didn't pay attention to bans as much as I often hop from game to game and rarely watch picks/bans but when I did it always seemed banned. They picked lone druid a couple of times with mixed results but never picked Furion. I think they went with a more "traditional" pick style but the problem is they're getting counter picked or they play poorly or their picks don't even mesh very well, it's just yeah not very good.
Yeah I don't think Razor is a good blind pick. You're just picking him up in response to tanky lineups.
Well he's good WITH and good AGAINST Void is the thing, which is why he's being picked up the majority of the time.
Super is the best player on that hero in the world imo. He has been playing Razor for months and kicking ass with that hero whereas other teams are just picking it up now. Think hes 1-1 with it in Ti4 but that loss wasn't on him either.
Oh fuck that I'm just looking at it like a casual and thinking of extreme cases to see what can happen and you can see there's a lot of possibilities of stuff happening tomorrow. Hell if Navi drops this game and their other 2 games tomorrow, they might be in trouble. Winning this would put them out of risk for tomorrow which would help a lot mentally I'd say, as they'd play for better seeding only(which is still very important obviously the way the prizes are setup).Let us know when you finish the Monte Carlo analysis and how it'll turn out. Because right now my 1 semester of statistics says it's pretty much a lot of people's game.
Except for ArrowPoor guys.
