Thanks for the heads up, I might try to catch Falcons vs Spirit later!
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.
TS v TF has potential to be interesting or to be an absolute shellacking.
oof, i've not been a fan of offlane pango but sometimes it's popped off.
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.
Not quite a shellacking, but very dominant by Spirit so far.
game 1 was a complete outdraft followed into way better laning and falcons just never really got anywhere from there.
My very first game of Dota like 20 odd years ago I was introduced to it by a friend's older brother who played it and said this was the greatest WC3 custom map. We played him 1v3 and he proceeded to pick Nightstalker and absolutely violated us for half an hour into a solo win.
Good to see that an unchecked Nightstalker is still a menace all these years later.
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.
Spirit are just also extremely good at abusing a vision advantage, always have been. Good old times of Miposhka Treant etc.
Imagine giving ATF Timbersaw in the year of the lord 2025.
if you did not know, falcons and tidebound are playing right now.
Huh. Haven't seen a 70+ minute epic in a while.
