this GG has potential to ball out of control. lmao, even first blood.

I just want to see offlane dusa again. please tidebound.

if you did not know, falcons and tidebound are playing right now.

it’s funny, NS has fifth highest ban rate at this tournament but his win rate is only okay. recently we’ve seen a ton of NS just get nothing done because of the limitations of the hero.

but falcons basically actively drafted into making the NS as effective as possible.

game 1 was a complete outdraft followed into way better laning and falcons just never really got anywhere from there.

double oof, this falcons draft is not working for me. need to be way ahead at 20 min or it gets real hard for them.

oof, i’ve not been a fan of offlane pango but sometimes it’s popped off.

TS v TF has potential to be interesting or to be an absolute shellacking.

45 minutes till that game. Fissure has a set schedule so you an plan around games.

Tidebound just ran down mid and ended. From what i saw of game 2 saksa didn’t seem like he was getting much done on tiny.

along with rosh pit changes from wandering water(more recent patch), the big change from last summer: heroes have innate abilities and facets.

so stuff like mana shield or drow’s agi aura are innate abilities that scale. Jakiro’s innate is attack twice but damage is halved(once for each head). Spirit breaker’s innate is that the lowest lvl on your team gets more xp. Mirana buffs lotus heals.

facets are choices that change your hero in small/big ways. for example, morphling has two Ebb or flow. Ebb is basic morphling while flow makes him a strength hero that gets spell amp from how much agi he has.

a lot of heroes don’t have two interesting or viable facets and it’s really just another level of power creep except for some heroes that literally got stuff taken away to be a facet basically. for example, jakiro’s two facet choices are ice breaker: lets him reactivate ice path to restun and deal damage and twin head terror: his innate’s right click damage loss is lowered with each level of his ult.

or heroes like Bane who literally don’t have an innate: any stats Bane gets are split across all 3. 10 strength becomes ~3 in each str, agi, and int.
