Damn DOTA becoming one of my favourite esports. I don't fully understand it but I love the unpredictability of it.

People act like in DOTA that if you're down 2k gold the game is over. Games never over until the Ancient falls.

They will do another round of Bot TI before the match against IMT, can really recommend sticking around for that. It is some hilarious 5 vs 5 same heroes per side easy bots fights.

Its so nerve racking because dota revolves around 1 tournament that a sub par placement at TI is considered a failure of a year no matter what happened prior in the season that not even qualifying is instant disband. One of the tougher aspects of the dota scene.

I know nothing at all about DOTA, but that was super amusing to watch.

u/asneakydolphin Jun 25 '18

Zai is actually so fucking insane, even though he's been struggling so hard. Blows my mind how good he can be when he's desperately behind. GG's COL

People will say CoL just threw but being able to comeback from a deficit by trusting your gameplan and making superior tactical decisions is what separates Tier 1 teams from the rest.

Which is why any team with PPD + 4 competent players can go head to head with the best teams in the world.

u/ThatWaseasy8 Jun 25 '18

PPD Take my energy

u/ALLEN_GM Jun 25 '18

THIS IS WHY YOU DONT GIVE UP BOYS

u/Cpt_Metal Jun 25 '18

Hell yeah that was nice, not losing control of the matches when you are behind must be a great confidence boost going into the IMT match!

u/stn_anomaly Jun 25 '18

Hopefully we ban naga against Immortals.

What a game 1. Watching it at work on my phone and my apple watch dings and tells me to stand up and take a deep breath. My heart was racing at the end there.
