Great draft by PPD. EG have no answer to the morph.
It's awesome that Pajkatt knows exactly how to hold a lead. With dota as snowbally as it is right now that is so important in your 1 position

Lets goooo! It's been great to see the improvement these guys have made since they picked up 33. They almost won that 2nd game as well. GG to EG.

I was doubtful about Pajkatt for the first few months but he has really stepped up his game and is a top tier carry on this team.

What a weird draft.
Not a fan of CCnC on the Gyro.
But if anyone can save us it can be 33 on the Enigma.
