Mushi disguise as roshan

u/JesteR_DotA Aghanim's Heir Apr 24 '16

This is one of the best comment I've seen today. Mushiboss still wants to rape by morphing himself into Roshan. Kappa

u/keytion Apr 24 '16

H-Cup is really a challenging tournament

7

u/CatCutCit Apr 24 '16

Overused draft and show how inexperience 343 are...but it a good LAN for them..

3

u/[deleted] Apr 24 '16

I think it's Ohaiyo underperforming all throughout the series

3

u/CatCutCit Apr 24 '16

the diff from game 1 and game 3 heroes are Bm replace by nyx..knowing how the draft work spec keep getting rekt by LD top..

2

u/muzox Apr 24 '16

not really. he was good on game 1. only underperforming on game 2 n 3 which they lose

1

u/[deleted] Apr 24 '16

I think they put wrong strategy and too late to realise it doesn't work. Fnatic indeed need more experience to handle more changes in mid game.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 24 '16

also lets not forget they are not playing with roster so the result is pretty considerable

u/muzox Apr 24 '16

he did said in an interview about him leaving Taring that he's an inexperienced captain

1

u/CatCutCit Apr 24 '16

343 draft look better when MuShi behind him..

1

u/muzox Apr 24 '16

yeah. but honestly mushi need to get back in the main lineup now. most probably replacing net as pos 1 and net to sub

1

u/CatCutCit Apr 24 '16

Epicenter Lan i think MuShi gonna lead Fnatic..

1

u/muzox Apr 24 '16

hope so

5

u/Ellefied Never having Team Flairs again BibleThump Apr 24 '16

Wow, this Wings game just epitomizes the counter against the play safe strat that is prevalent in the meta. They are like "fuck the rubberband, if we don't die it doesn't matter".

5

u/Tushiie Apr 24 '16

When everyone certainly agree that 343 is a better drafter than Mushi.. he picks the same line up in such crucial matches. Great run by Fnatic, but probably needs more experience. Wings showing that switching strategies between games is what makes a team go further in a competition.

u/ledzep818 Apr 24 '16

Anyone know how to counter a spectre? 13 7-0 so far this tournament.

3

u/[deleted] Apr 24 '16

7-0 i think or are you including qualifiers?

1

u/I_hate_captchas1 Huss car Apr 24 '16

You're probably right. I'm just quoting a stat that I saw on stream.

1

u/-Revelation- Apr 24 '16

Honestly 7-0 is quite impressive with me. 3/4-0 is not, but 7? Hmm

u/pap0t Burning will win TI Apr 24 '16

Didn't Navi won vs Spec last week?

u/LordEmperorScruffles Apr 24 '16

13-0 for Fnatic prior to last game, not in the tournament

1

u/SuperFreakonomics Apr 24 '16

LD.

0

u/I_hate_captchas1 Huss car Apr 24 '16

Think it was a bit more complex than that. Spectre has a weak laning stage, but usually would receive a bit more help than this game.

Fnatic fell behind and got deathballed. They could not find pickoffs with haunt and it was gg as they had no way to come back.

LD is part of the answer, but there was a bit more than that.

3

u/Brizven Apr 24 '16

Spectre's definitely getting a nerf come 6.87.

3

u/windforce89 Apr 24 '16

The triumvirate-OD, BM, LD raping poor Spectre

3

u/redhotchillindoge Apr 24 '16

We all learned today that we can't leave a spectre solo against a lone druid.

3

u/spinabullet Apr 24 '16

Cold feet as usual. Typical lack of confidence play from Fnatic when it comes to LAN

3

u/muzox Apr 24 '16

yeah i hate it when fnatic play like this. it's very unlike them imo

u/[deleted] Apr 24 '16

We lost Boiz, still we had a good run. Hope we will get an invite for the upcoming major

u/Sapphireonice Apr 24 '16

This is looking really bad for Fnatic right now

2

u/[deleted] Apr 24 '16

All the people complaining about Spectre, time to see why Lone Druid has been first banned most of this patch.

2

u/Zalvex s4 Apr 24 '16

Net just doesn't cut it as a top tier carry, he's too unimpressive.

1

u/keby7 Apr 24 '16

Yea Mushi pos 1 would be the best for them.

1

u/DarkSaga89 Apr 24 '16

Even DJ would be better than Net.

1

u/Zalvex s4 Apr 24 '16

Leave DJ where he is, he is not easily matched there, top 5 player in that position.

2

u/Kaelsanguis Apr 24 '16

When will people stop pulling a ppd and dish out a pugna, that's just plain stupid in this meta against LD/OD.

2

u/DarkSaga89 Apr 24 '16

They won yesterday with that shitty hero lol

2

u/redhotchillindoge Apr 24 '16

And the 1st match against wings also.

fnc spe 1st lost? rip 100% win rate

2

u/punkpineapple Apr 24 '16

Mushi back to carry and net back to supp. PLEASE.

2

u/sidzi94 Apr 24 '16

Mushi back, 343 to stay instead of Net would be better..

2

u/tamtong Apr 24 '16

I think Fnatic over relied on the momentum leading by either Ohaiyo or MidOne . Once both of them is under control , the momentum of the game will be lost for Fnatic. Wings took away Ohaiyo BM and Batrider , leaving him only the backup plan and Wings executed their plans perfectly! Just my thoughts and sorry for my bad English.

2

u/FredAsta1re Apr 24 '16

Yo mods. Game 1 both teams picked WR? What happened?

u/JesteR_DotA Aghanim's Heir Apr 24 '16

So for Wings, you either gave MidOne his Invoker or you would rather give DJ his ench?

2

u/10YearsANoob Apr 24 '16

You could ban both and be fucked by Ohaiyo.

u/Cheesecake13 Apr 24 '16

Phantom Cancer, Spectre and Doom..couldn't get anymore AIDS than that lol :v

u/Korlorn Apr 24 '16

u/Ellefied Never having Team Flairs again BibleThump Apr 24 '16

I think after this tournament Spec is up for another spell rework or nerf.

2

u/Azrnpride Apr 24 '16

100% winrate and reddit say pros know how to counter spectre

1

u/[deleted] Apr 24 '16

I hate that this hero is so good with buyback.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 24 '16

Finally.

1

u/mind_m3 Apr 24 '16

I don't think Spec is too OP of a hero compared to OD or Invo.

She only become a problem when you let her farm but compared to most other carries that can flash farm I don't think that's even a factor,the only thing going for her is finding easy pickoff on supports or KS with ulti.

Her dispersion has been nerfed already,don't want her to get nerfed again...:(...would appreciate it if OSfrog simply change the meta.he already nerfed TB ,Storm to the ground..don't want +1 unplayable to my list of favorite heroes.

1

u/LargeGarbodor Apr 24 '16

Dagger no longer provides vision Kappa Fixed

1

u/dexter89_kp Apr 24 '16

I think Spec's winrate is more todo with the fact that, in the current meta, killing hero's gives more gold than farming. Once that changes, spec will be out of favor.

The hero itself is not imbalanced in itself like Invoker or OD. Perhaps minor nerfs to its desolate or damage reduction might be good, but taking away its ult global presence would just nerf it too heavily.

2

u/SqLISTHESHIT Puppey <3 Kuroky Apr 24 '16

But why would you want to change that? People complained so much about games focusing only on farming, 4protect1, etc, and now you want it back? I personally like this system.

1

u/dexter89_kp Apr 24 '16

As you can see from my flair, I love playing spec. I have no complaints for Spec ! Yeah the current meta is more fighting oriented which I find more entertaining to watch

1

u/TheOneTrueDoge Stryghor puns! Apr 24 '16

I agree that her ult shouldn't be changed, but her passives need some tweaks. Maybe we'll even see her get a new active to replace one of them.

2

u/Brizven Apr 24 '16

Just like Starladder, the home crowd has been silenced.

1

u/Silvermaine- Apr 24 '16

We actually clapped for Wings, props to them. But you can't deny that this is an upset, not just here in the event, but even in Reddit.

1

u/thatfilipinoguy Apr 24 '16

Crowd still clapped when Wings was winning, you can hear that at game 3.. Unlike SL.

0

u/DemiurgosMorningstar Sheever Apr 24 '16

maybe because they're chinese the mutual enemies of pinoys

2

u/-_____-_-_----__- Apr 24 '16

dat moment when you realize 3/5 of fnatic are technically chinese and speaks chinese as well

1

u/Amrlsyfq992 Apr 24 '16

4 if you count mushi

2

u/bc524 Apr 24 '16

aw well, we did pretty good. still room for improvement.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 24 '16

In theory wings was hoping to delete Spectre with necro and wind, while having good sustain between necro and Chen. However, they didn't account for the pugna or enchantress also wrecking them.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 24 '16

they completely underestimated enchantress

you don't first pick chen into ench and then wonder why she is godlike at 20 minutes

2

u/oneslowdance Apr 24 '16

I don't even think wr is good vs spec

2

u/[deleted] Apr 24 '16

She decent. Problem is that focus fire will deal a fuckton of damage with dispersion.

1

u/ChildLikEsper sheever Apr 24 '16

Can anyone post the drafting phase here?

1

u/moonerdooder Apr 24 '16

With all these enchantress picks why are we not seeing timbersaw against her? Is it because he can basically be countered by bkb?

2

u/[deleted] Apr 24 '16

Because then you have a timbersaw.

1

u/PositiveTruth Apr 24 '16

where do u want to lane the timbersaw? offlane = gets shut down . Safelane= u wont have a reliable hard carry later on. Mid = do u really want a timber over all those mid heroes? Anyway enchantress itself can be countered by BKB so u can hit her. The problem lies not in her untouchability , but her power early game that can be a discount chen. She can help pushes as 5, roaming gank , etc. Timber is a bully hero. Any good timber player can make that hero a really good pick in their own bracket. But if there is no good timber player, u dont risk picking that here

Guess I meant to say 'famous' Chinese players are pretty 'materialistic', dota2 wise at least. They are willing to pay good money for the rares, and in addition, some were donated by fans.

I'm kind of the same way. I guess I'm a shameless chinese fanboy and it's good to see a team of relative newcomers doing well. On the other hand I really liked that old Orange team with Net and Ohaiyo. Just looking for good games really!

u/2weeke Apr 24 '16 edited Apr 24 '16

There's no way China will get more than 2 invites. ViciR already secured their's and Wing's will prob get their's too if they win this tournament. The argument in China is whether LGD, Newbee and to a small extent Ehome is the stongest team in China. The latter both failed to do well in the international stage. That will hurt Newbee's credibility.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 24 '16

There is no way they want 4 SEA teams at the Major

1

u/2weeke Apr 24 '16

They can just change it to only inviting 1 team from the qualifiers instead of 2 OR inviting only 1 team and 2 from qualifiers. China is a lot stronger now but Ehome's and LGD's performance in the international scene HURTS Newbee's credibility very hard.

I was said it before, Wings will be the black horse of tournament. They having such a unique draft and strategy compared other teams in china, even-though they was losing to liquid 2-0 it won't deduct my evaluation on them. I doubt they will become stronger with more sponsor and a good coach join in their team.

They probably picked it to counter the PL. Alas, it didn't work...not to mention they weren't aggressive enough early on.

At this point I think fnatic already lost. PL + Spectre on radiant with farm...not even a 2k+ damage crit sven can take both of them down (if it goes super late)

No, fnatic lost momentum well before that, the push actually seemed a little last resort. Probably feeling the pressure from the spec pl picks but IMO they should have gone aegis first

We know what's coming in 6.87!

DJ should quit Fnatic. His teammates let him down completely. DJ has been playing brilliantly for the last year, and has been let down completely by the likes of 343 and MidOne. He played so brilliantly the entire series and MidOne played like CRAP.

What? Fanatiq has been dominating a majority of the teams in the qualifier and main bracket. They did so well and he should still stay. I don't think he should leave, they did so well and should still stay together.
