On top of the world
On top of the world
They thought I'd never make it
But here I am on top of the world
They thought I'd never make it
But here I am on top of the world
A thought that you didn't want me to kiss
But here I am on top of the world
A thought I never meant to kiss
But here I am on top of the world
On top of the world
On top of the world
I'm a sufferer
I'm a sufferer
I'm a sufferer
I'm a sufferer
What you mean is love and all the stand here.
Find a heart whose love is true.
Deep down, there's only one companion
Who's there for you, when you need him to be
Your heart was broken in a thousand pieces
So it's pain that you've been through
Here's there's a man who's your salvation
Just ask yourself, am I ready for you?
One hundred percent
I'm getting on the next step
Yes and no
That's why I'm here
I'm ready to go
One hundred percent
Take a chance in a new direction
Give me place you wanna go
I'm gonna have all the right answers
One, one thing I know, I'm so ready for you
I'm so ready to say
I'm ready, I'm ready
No, I'm ready to say
I'm ready, I'm ready
I'm ready to move away
One hundred percent, yeah, one hundred percent, yeah
I've been waiting a long time just longing for the plans from you
A chance to look in those big, calm eyes
No telling what my heart could do
When we met I sure knew it felt as good as it could be
In that moment though it felt so good I wondered why you'd notice me
If you gave me just a little time It would sure ease my troubled mind
And don't tell me, don't tell me
That you don't feel the same inside
Don't tell me, don't tell me who
These are pillars that I ought to hide
I don't care where you came from
Just tell me where you want to go
If there's a chance to be together, that's all I really need to know.
Is it real or make me believe that keeps me thinking of you?
If you've got time to walk with me, I'll show you how my heart is true.
And here I stand, waiting for you.
Tell me, baby, what I gotta do.
Don't tell me, don't tell me
That you won't feel the same inside.
Don't tell me, don't tell me who
These are bills that I ought to hide.
Don't tell me, don't tell me
That you don't feel the same inside
Don't tell me, don't tell me
These are feelings that I've already had
I
I'm a son of Satan, never child
And upon a nation, body and mind
I'm a son of Satan, never child
And upon a nation, body and mind
I'm a son of Satan, never child
I can't believe I'm running wild
I'll count the devil's blood run from my veins
I hear the voice of God crying, change, change, change
I'll count the devil's blood run from my veins
I hear the voice of God crying, change, change, change
I can't do anything right, I can't do anything right
I can't find the heart and it's tough, I'm afraid
Now the people don't make me brave
I can't even scream out my name
I'm the voice of God, kind, change, change, change
I
Send me my time, be me, by the way, make me alive
Blue, blue skies when I see you, the one I love
And I'll do anything for you, my love
For me till the morning, for me till I'm gone
Hold me till I'm gone, hold me till I'm gone
Hold me till I'm gone, hold me till I'm gone
Rest in my thoughts when it's a calling
Cause I'm hoping it's you
Needless to say I'm not falling
And you don't have a clue
Sun and rain is what I'm dreaming
But the way you make me laugh
No blue skies when I'm seeing
And the one I won't have
Hold me to my hand
Hold me to the ground
Hold me not to fall
I
You can't become just an enemy
Don't think I'm dreaming
Cause I've been waiting for so long
And in all of this you'll go through my mind
There were some things
I just feel so right
But you know I'm ready to give in
There's some easy love
There's some easy love
And I think you know something's in love
Yeah, something's in love
This whole family of streetlamp will get you back
And go straight and go young
Hmm
If you're amazing, don't play, just don't say it every time
Don't know
That's not what you think it is
And I'm crazy, but you are
I feel as if I've got to stand right
I don't think I'm dreaming
Cause I've been waiting for so long
And now all I've been is you go through my mind
There are some things
That just feel so right
If you wanna make it, then you know
It's a big deal
It's a big deal
You're making all
It's a big deal
Yeah, it's a big deal
I

Oh yeah, we're keeping hiding now
We can do it in my time
I'll be high enough
Man, I was looking high enough
Dream League Season 29 is brought to you by DHL and Chex.
We started this tournament about a week and a half ago and now the time has come.
So many teams have fallen along the wayside and now only three remain.
It is up to these three teams to determine who will be the final champion and crowned
king of Dream League, season 29.
What a journey it has gained to get to this point and now only three teams remain.
Party vision awaiting in their best of five grand finals looking to see who will join them
Will it be Aurora or will it be spirit?
Spirit. Oh
I mean, I've done very poorly at my predictions
Like I should trust your word you have the British voice obviously gives credence immediately
Oh, yeah, and I'm like, oh, what are you saying?
Dictating fact. Oh my god. It sounds like it makes sense. Maybe that's just my American subservience to you
I don't think it works like that anymore, buddy.
Get your shit together, Neal.
Why? I think I'm very welcome, close one.
Let's go, Gabriel Legion.
Clap, clap, they're here, right?
They're on the leaderboard.
We've been on that for two weeks.
Gibi-a-G!
A, M, E, R, no.
They're on the leaderboard.
That's that cool.
Consistently, they've been showing up on our leaderboard,
but it's been a very tragic placement of them being just
that close to being able to make a DWC.
They almost made it to the last day, but there's a little short.
Just a week and a half to arrive.
Yeah, they have qualifiers for themselves.
Pretty much them and maybe like one stack, so they're going to win the qualifier for EWC.
You never want to peek too early, right?
Exactly.
Peek for EWC.
TI.
Same for a little bit later.
So is Nightball peeking at the right time?
Which is now?
You're not saying anything, but I mean, let the evidence and the gameplay do the talking.
That's right.
We can take a look at how his gameplay was yesterday.
As we had three best of threes going through to eliminate the remainder of our teams,
the first of which was Aurora taking on Falcons.
Smack them.
Smack them.
Smack them real hard, dude.
I think playtime drained them.
They played the 96 and the 69 minute game nice inter-reverse nice.
It was too much maybe for Falcons and the name of the game right now seems to be Speed.
We showed in a different series, Paravision vs Spirit.
Alright, who's getting a pizza party?
Timerson!
That's what I'm talking about right there. Take out the trash.
Somehow does this hero look so good until this series?
Until the best Timerson player in the world plays it.
That's what happens.
What are you talking about? WS has been playing it all the time and he's looking great on this.
No, yeah, in sharp contrast, Falcons were perhaps a little bit gassed at the end of the day, which is a trend.
Aurora was also able to beat Tundra the day before yesterday after Tundra had a grueling series against Extreme Gaming,
and they got 2-0 rapidly in the third series of the day, so now Aurora has to fight a team that's at full power,
rather than, you know, completely drained after a morning series of Dota.
I think Falcons were the most faked team in this Top 6, honestly.
Oh.
I think they were more faked than even Playtime, or who got 6, I guess.
Yeah, Playtime should have won that series.
They had some clutch moves, but also choked when it really mattered.
We saw these really long games, but I think these could have been easy 2-30 minute games for Playtime.
They won in our hearts, at least.
They did.
This series was like 2-30 minute games.
It was like a 22-minute GG and like a 25-minute GG the party vision spirit series was
dominant from each side
Spirit completely ran rough shot in this game number one
I feel like spirit had to have learned from the series though
You can't fall behind in tempo against the top dogs in this event. You just get the map run over like yeah
There's a lot of long games
But I think these long games happen because one side just fucks up horribly in terms of the moment
They're supposed to take over the map and it extends these top teams are not gonna do that
If you give him these openings around some mid-matchup that's just wildly in balance, or like the supports are roaming in yours are just static and useless.
Yeah.
These games are gonna be really fast, so I think Spirit are a team historically that can adjust to that pretty quickly.
Like they're not gonna look at the series and be like,
Ah, we need more late game, you know what I mean?
They're smart enough to figure it out, so they should put up a better play.
For sure.
Also, how do you guys feel about the Kez as a hero? In the right hands, this hero seems to be the most broken hero.
That's who you're getting the most broken?
Yeah, he has 15 abilities.
So then Invoker must be super super broken.
He is.
At the right hand, yeah.
It does look like he does not just mean Faceless Void is ultimately broken, because he just
dilates all the 20 abilities.
That's true.
We saw the exact same match up yesterday after a 24 Faceless Void against both of these
heroes.
And he won.
He had 8 backs of time that laced.
And he won.
Didn't even have the chrono.
That's a good sign.
That's a good sign.
Faceless Void.
First big Faceless Void.
That's what I may have to do.
I've forgotten about that Bet Boom series, by the way.
The Play-Flying Bet Boom, yeah, with the TPK Husker, that's just major flashbacks.
That's what I'm saying, I feel like there were some fake games in here, you know, like...
I don't even think Falcons thought they were a real team.
What do you mean by fake? Like, winning through draft, but not gameplay?
No, like, they were winning, but they were clearly not in hot form, and they were exploitable.
And I think that was Falcons, like, they were like, yeah, this...
We're still struggling, we're still trying to find form.
I think Skeeter played super well.
He did, yeah.
Like that life stealer game.
Yeah, he was the only one I was watching in Falcons tournament, like, okay, he's in form.
The rest of the team's like, they don't know what the fuck they're doing.
But these top three, I think, are not fake.
Sure.
So you're gonna have to actually outdraft them, outbeat them, outplay them in lanes, and show up if you want to win.
Well, also the Achilles heel of a team like Playtime is they will succumb to just a lack of experience.
And Falcons has so much experience in these ultra late game situations that, for no matter how fake they are,
You can't take away the millions of games that they've played on late game Dota.
Yeah, they beat him with age.
Like Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson.
We all know who's the better fighter, but...
Age is a factor.
You say Falcons is younger than...
I was a reverse age analogy.
Oh, okay.
Age is a factor, obviously, in different directions sometimes.
Uh-huh.
You know, we all know who the Jake Paul is, scenario.
Sure.
The game religion.
But yeah, I'm satisfied with the top three teams that we had.
It is a recurring theme that most of the top five teams are in the same rotation, but who
ultimately gets the championship is never guaranteed for the past like two years of
Dota.
Yeah, it's been pretty wild, I would say, even though Tundra, they were kind of following
the script up until this Dream League, because if we were following the script, Tundra should
have won because they have won.
lose, win, lose, win, lose.
Pretty much.
It started in 2026 prior to that, they were winning some tournaments, but yeah, at least
we know it's not scripted, Genom.
Sure.
Well, no matter what though, they have at least qualified to the Esports World Cup, along
with a variety of other teams, as this was the final stop on the point distribution journey,
starting all the way back in December with the Dream League Season 27.
And since then, we have now crowned 14 teams to be directly invited to Paris.
There will be 10 qualifier slots, so it's in total a 24 team tournament, but these teams
get a little bit of a break and they don't have to grind out those qualifiers.
Specifically, I think we have been consistently setting OG as being the biggest sigh of relief
for no one leapfrogging them on their journey.
Yeah, OG, they kinda sneaked in.
You talked about some maybe like fake teams.
I don't know where to even put this team right now.
You know.
Stay qualified.
They might be grinding.
They might be winning the whole EWC.
Who knows?
They got TI winning out there, don't they?
Yeah.
And it's in Seb's home country.
It's a lot of buffs.
That's one sin.
Will Seb play?
Never know.
V's issues don't get sick.
He's never know.
Seb is like, oh, buddy, it's time.
Guys, the agent 47 of the team, he just
looks in there with that needle and you're done.
and he's standing in another land victory for old Sebastian.
Anything's possible.
I'm not gonna rule it out.
They did also just get a new coach,
the former Reconyx coach, I don't remember his name,
but 343 is also coaching still.
So there's a variety of assistants coming into that team.
What does that mean?
What are you talking about?
Oh!
Oh!
Robot POV.
Is this live?
Oh, that's easy!
Is this prerecorded?
Is this live?
What's right behind us?
Avery, do a wave.
Oh, it's live!
It's live!
I'll do more than a wave.
Wait, you can't come over here, it's got stairs.
Don't scare it!
Give me the ramp!
Don't scare it!
It's getting scared!
It's running away from you.
Oh, that would be sick.
Yes, Jake!
There he is!
He's juke-ing!
Leave him alone!
Breaking his ankles!
I don't want to destroy the merchandise,
so I'll probably get fine for that
and we'll take it out on the sound.
It has, uh...
Oh, it's actually, it's just like a phone on top of it.
It has a little, uh...
Oh, a card on there.
Well, Avery, I was in the right place.
You were in the right place.
Yeah, get back over there.
It's bringing you on a quest.
It's going to the tech podium.
I see your hand.
Oh, yeah.
Give it a little pat.
It did a good job.
Oh, shoot.
I love that shot.
Good robot.
What do we got, Avery?
I ripped the card in half, actually.
Oh, jeez.
But no damage was done.
You just did it.
That's a lot of text.
The floral payoff.
Okay.
Is that it?
Yeah.
A dramatic pause, relax man.
Okay.
You ever heard theater?
No, but that's the payoff.
After two weeks,
being pressed, your flowers are ready to be framed.
Choose your favorites and decorate a frame.
Keep our memories of this dream league fresh forever.
Oh, I now recall, yes.
So during one of the second days of our group stage,
we were given the task of pressing wildflowers
into these books and ideally I guess the idea is that they look very, very intact and preserved.
That will give you an open mind, Tommy.
That's an art, right?
Hashtag art right there.
That's right, online art.
These all just fell out.
That was on me.
Open them delicately.
They are flowers, of course.
This is beautiful.
I'll give you another shot, right?
Wait, this book is just on chess.
Wow.
Look at the color.
Wait, this book is just on chess.
Wow.
Look at the composition of that one.
I'm telling you, these came out actually quite sophisticated.
This one's kind of just like a mishmash.
Wait, oh, they're going to fall out.
Could we get that camera to maybe look at things?
Because I'm a little bit scared about holding you for a second.
Who made this?
That was a sad one.
There's another one.
What is that?
What is this put put that one down ever and let's no no no I'm closing the book on that one. Yeah, we don't want to see that one
I need to
do
And we're meant to frame them. Oh, oh geez. Oh
Neil what are you done? Okay? I mean, that's not terrible. It's got pedals. It's got colors
Yes 3.5 not great not
Delusional
Pedals. Oh, what's that bicycle Bob is coming down with a floral purse perhaps
Order now and you can you ever watch QVC
Home shopping network. Yeah, 29 99 plus 15 dollars in postage and packaging. That's you go
I do it in five easy payments. It's insane how much money they make from the actual postage and packaging
What's in my bag? What's in your bag the infinite bag of holding comes back yet again?
Spoonful of sugar?
Take a sniff.
Smell like it?
Smells like old.
Smells like old?
Smells like...
Neal.
I am old.
Okay.
Ah, the frames.
Ah.
So we need to put these flowers into the frames and perhaps we will showcase them in future
DreamLeaks as a memory of DreamLeaks Season 29.
That was all that was in your mind.
There was only one frame.
I wanted to choose the best one.
I see.
Preasers!
Oh, okay, so we can carefully place it in, and of course the bag.
How do I...
Do I have it?
Open this.
Oh, no.
He never lets me have a nice thing.
All right, here you go.
Yeah.
All right, you got a shoe.
This one looks really good.
I love that one.
I just didn't believe you though.
That one looks really good.
Wait, that one was mine.
I was trying to make a face.
You wanted to make a face.
Yeah, like this was like a mouse and a mouse.
Wait, that one actually got one.
Well, like a...
We got a raw track test face?
Exactly.
I see I see two best high-fiving a good fallout reference
I like that one the best also. I think that's balance the player. Okay now
But I how do we like mount it?
Neil
Wait, I'll hold it
Is this some backing paper or something? Oh, yeah, we were the other part of the frame
You you handed it to me what those all those in there man
Yeah, I was also trying to reverse it.
Oh, it's empty.
I think we're missing half the frame.
We need the backside, yeah.
Interesting.
Well, for right now, we can show you what we would do.
It would be this.
Is this glorious or what?
It's got composition.
It's got style.
What kind of flowers are they?
Flowers have meanings, don't they?
Peonies.
And?
a blue bonnet
a blue bonnet
very nice
and a
a red cardinal
that's a bird
oh
good one Peri
Peri, good one Peri, I thought you were a bird
pretty proud
I uh, hopefully this
this will be decorating the studio for years to come and not rot away
I hope I never have to see this again in my life
well there you go, it's gone, you never have to look at it ever again
instead, you can just look at your pride and joy and your main love
No, no.
Do you know the games that are being played today, Avering?
Hell yeah.
You know the first one?
Lower bracket at the Grand Finals.
Lower bracket finals.
That's right.
It's going to be Spirit Aurora and then Spirit Hari and then it's going to be Spirit in the Crown.
How do you already know the TBD team?
How's that possible?
He's read the script, Neil.
Also, I always believe in Spirit.
I always give them my energy, but I honestly think they'll probably lose today.
Even at this time of year, you think whenever they're powering up for their pre-EWC, pre-TI buff?
That's why they're not gonna win Neil.
There's a lot of hedging. I always believe in them, but I don't believe in them because today they're not...
No, Spirit is the best team here, but they're also head-head, so they're gonna lose.
So that they don't have to target on their back.
Yeah, the real thing.
Oh, it's like full sense of security. That's getting the track already.
Wow.
And plus, you can't let Naughton me get complacent.
If he gets the win now, then he's not gonna have that fire in him.
Very, he played.
For WC.
Have won their first big tier one, man.
Yeah.
That's true.
And speaking of winning big lands, big tournaments, Nightfall, he has never won a tier one tournament.
Has he actually? No. Never won a single tournament.
He got a lot of second places, a lot of third places, like Last Dream League, Last Malachia, he got a second place in both of those, but never won a tournament.
He's the new generation Artezer. Why not?
That might be his help potential.
Is he dumb? Why doesn't he win?
Why doesn't he win? Like, first place better than the second, more money.
Bash and win tournament. Why don't he just win you just win
Just defend of the ancient. Yeah, well, I know he just carry team in win
He was on the BB squad that
Never liked one a tournament for a really long time. Yeah, but then he also did play for tundra
He did play for Aurora, but maybe one lands after he left after he left. So maybe you're the problem
They were right. Oh, no
No.
Well, I'll tell you.
I like falling off.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
That was a little...
Oh, I stabbed him with a pen, dude.
Okay, you can stab me with this if you want.
Here we go.
Let me get your nose hair.
Okay, I'll start crying when I'm...
I'm gonna sneeze.
Yeah.
It's okay, Lacoste.
I'll tell you something that'll make you happy.
The check's predictions, my friend, because I know that you're currently top in the charts right now.
And we'll see what you predicted today.
Yesterday was a really bad day, dude.
Falkens Day let me down, and let's see what happens here.
Who did I choose? I chose Spirit, and then I chose Partavision.
Wow, okay. So you're going...
So there's a lot of TBD, a lot of people think a lower bracket run is possible.
Garrus you also are selecting a TVD spirit spirit spirit spirit every time I cast them they win
So I'm the good luck job. Okay. They always make come back. They'll drop game one look really bad
But games two and three that is still after a poet. I think it could happen
but Lacoste you are
Tied right now is Casio. Well, not really because I see first sure close to mine
And that means that I am the first place Neil because of the I'm the co-host correct one
So I have priority if you had 20 points you would be the first one, right? That is how it works. Yeah, it's a host co-host
Analysts and then casters are bottom
Gabriel yeah, it's just
The way that the food oh no that sounds no, I'm pretty sure we're apex
That's just sounds like some you're ass lighting from hosting you're the krill in the sea
Sad violin, my ass sad violin, his ass, he's a pathetic one who needs a system that breaks down.
Because Kasuz chose the same exact as I did.
Did he?
He did, yeah.
Because he has no original thought, he just copies all the other animals.
Dr. Neustadt is gonna come in.
He's got to sort it out, I think.
Yo, what's your glucose score compared to Kasuz?
Pick out the tie breakers.
What's your glucose score?
What's your glucose score?
It's 3.5, yeah, I don't have a problem.
We make them rerun one of the games with a tiebreaker, so they actually break your prediction.
They play an extra game with a different team, a different lower bracket team. They bring playtime back, actually.
That makes sense, yeah.
Yeah, whoever has a shorter game time against playtime wins the game.
No, whoever won the fishing.
The old WSQ!
Yeah, let's go by fishing.
Can we update that chart by fishing right here?
We waited by fishing with the two-thirds majority, and we'll see who's on the top there, Neil.
Where are you right now on the Chex prediction?
He's the eight-back spreader.
You're fishing, yes, on Chex.
In my defense, it's like the first four days, and I've slowly been moving up the chart.
I think I have the best trajectory.
I will not claim that I have the best predictions overall,
but I do have the steepest curve of improvement, Neil, and that's what life's about.
It's about improvement.
How about where you start?
How about where you end?
Because we all start and end at the same place, Neil.
I had the same start as him.
I'm still at the bottom.
I did not have the same trajectory.
That's right.
You know the trajectory.
And your time is ending here today as well.
No.
Because, gentlemen, it has been a pleasure.
I was going to make your mom joke.
It's fucking tough.
But we have to get into our lower bracket final.
Ladies and gentlemen, let's get into spirit.
This is Aurora.
the
going into our lower bracket final of Team Spirit versus Aurora. These two teams have
already played against each other five times this tournament with Team Spirit winning four
out of those five games and they've actually already knocked Aurora down to the lower bracket
in the playoffs themselves. So today's series particularly I want to focus in on one player
and that's Nightfall. Not because we're looking at like a carry-to-carry matchup between him and
Yataro but because his playstyle significantly defines the way that Aurora plays. 19 out of
27 of the games he's played this tournament he's been on Tiny, Windranger or Ursa. All single target
burst damage heroes and that makes him the focus of the fights. So I want to pull up some clips from
the series that they played previously in this playoffs where we're going to see him kind of
be the focal point of who gets initiated on and Team Spirit's focus of their draft as well. So let's
go ahead and pull up those clips. And so I want to point out that they're up by 9k on the side of
Team Spirit. Knight falls over here, two of his teammates are dead, and let's go ahead and watch
this fight play out and just how important he is to get focused and what happens if they don't.
So, he's gonna get tornadoed, alchemist and primal beast, full committal, but gets his
BKB off barely, lives with a sliver of HP, and proceeds to focus fire Yattrow all the
way down from full to zero.
And then they end up winning this fight.
So Team Spear clearly had a plan of we're gonna focus Nightfall, but now that he has
the BKB, that's no longer going to work.
So when we pull up the next clip, we're gonna see that, okay, why exactly are they focusing
him?
Well, here's what happens when Aurora gets the initiation.
This is how they like to play fights.
They have the initiation from the supports like the Clockwork.
He focus fires this 3000 HP Primal with the Shiva's and he dies almost instantly in a
single stun.
And these fights, despite having been down leading into this portion of the game, Aurora
is clean sweeping them.
Now when we go to the next fight, this is when Team Spirit's made a bit of an adjustment.
They're no longer interested in initiating onto Nightfall.
They're actually going to choose the supporting cast where Collapse is going to jump the Clockwork.
is gonna take them out, forces the Dombreaker ulti,
and they're gonna disengage.
And I wanna highlight the significance
of Nightfall's BKB here,
because watch as Yatro's gonna go on the knife
on the Dombreaker,
and they're gonna use this Ringmaster box
to effectively stall out the Windranger BKB.
And in this patch, one of the biggest changes that happened
was you can't refresh BKB anymore,
something that Nightfall loved doing.
So watch these long drawn out fights,
and Collapse comes back in with his Primal Beast
Shivas combo and just absolutely obliterates him and we're just gonna see that later on this exact same story happens
So when we look at this last fight, we see that night falls not even here yet
So we're gonna look for team spirit
To actually use all of their BKB's as they go on
Nightfall is not of their target at all. They're actually jumping the Phoenix this time and even though there's all this initiation
They're severely lacking damage because of the fact that nightfall is not there. So night falls gonna go in
looking to clean up the fight, gonna pop his BKB and once again that ringmaster
box, stalling out that entire duration. Team Spirit patiently waits for that to
end, looking to re-engage. Gonna see a little bit of deja vu here from
Collapse who goes back in with that Corralis Cruiser, a really cool item
purchased on the Primal Beast. But what I'm looking for today is that these
fights are gonna be all about the single target initiation and burst coming out
from Aurora. Can Team Spirit do what they do best, which is stall out these
late-game team fights, re-engage, and effectively negates night falls, in fact, on the damage
front of the game.
Thank you very much, Brian!
And perhaps another issue that Nightfall was facing is that Windranger shaved her head
halfway through that fight.
Rough for him.
That's rough for her.
I mean, she was trying to change her style, you know?
It was like, I'm getting bullied by a primal beast.
Maybe if I just go buzz cut, that face will be much easier.
You won't recognize me.
You won't recognize me.
You'll think I'm a support hero instead.
That's my favorite bug in the world.
I tried so many times to reset the clip and I'm like, I disagree. I think you should have zoomed in on
But that was a
Big portion of why spear were able to defeat Aurora in that upper bracket series
They were bullying I fall and yet again spirit proved time and time again that they will easily stall out a game until they can find an advantage
for sure, I mean going late game against fear it is a very difficult thing to do in Dota, but I
I think Aurora could have easily won that series as well, to be fair, like maybe in that third game was a bit too close,
but they didn't look like a team that was below spirit and tier. It looked like they were playing equal levels of Dota,
and to me, it's just going to be about draft and the solutions that they find for each other.
Consistently, all these, uh, at least the first series of the day have been played on very tight margins.
Yeah.
Uh, after that.
Yeah, because the first game, because the first game is always like 90 plus minutes.
It's like watching a full movie, you need to watch that after it.
Like, get some Potshorn, a full feature film, maybe even an intermission afterwards.
But then the second and the third series have been a little bit more rapid.
Yesterday, specifically, I saw Spirits that come...
Well, okay, they got a very quick advantage against Party Vision, and then they got obliterated.
What was the ping-ponging there in that series?
I think they also tried something different in that one,
Because these two teams are probably, for me at least, the best teams in the tournament.
Because they can play fast though, they know how to utilize their timings.
A lot of the times you will see a team have like 10-15k lead, but they can't go for the high ground.
Then they get like one really bad fight and the game drags for 30 plus minutes.
They're also a very clutch team.
A lot of the times you'll see one team just not playing one part of the map even with the lead that they have.
Spirit and party, they're not doing that. They know how to close it out.
So then what was the best solution?
So if I'm Aurora, Brian, and I'm looking at what Pahri did to Spear yesterday,
are there any lessons that you think that they can pull
that they can incorporate into their own gameplay?
I think absolutely not because Aurora is a team that, you know, talking to KP,
they're going to do things their way.
I don't think they're actually worried about how do we shut down what Team Spirit's going to do.
I think it's actually the opposite.
I think Aurora kind of has their cards on the table.
And I think what they've learned through this tournament,
it's not that they have nothing to learn from that,
But I think what they've learned themselves from their experience against team spirit and the other teams is at the beginning of tournament
They did not have success. They were picking nightfall his standard heroes
They actually went away from that as like a I would guess a reaction of like an adjustment of okay
This isn't working. Let's try something else, but they've actually gone back to it and now it's working again
They kind of just slam the wind rangers and the urses and the tiniest and it's like you even know
They they they'll pick like a Largo preemptively against them
And they're like, oh, we'll pick a wind ranger anyways
And I think Team Spirit, the difference that they've shown against
war coming into today is that they are much better at stalling out the fights.
A lot of teams have been focusing Nightfall with removing him from the fights themselves,
but they're actually making it so we can just delay your initial burst and then come after you later.
So I think they've learned their own lessons and talking to KP in that interview,
it's really cool to hear their mindset shift over the course of the term.
Do you think it's in terms of targeting out what Spirit beat them with, like that ringmaster that was such a nuisance for them?
I think it's just add it's it's for me. It's like a effectively a best of seven, you know, like they've
Learned okay. This was the rock paper scissors. I agree with what Mira said that gate that series was really close
they look like on par with these other two teams and
For me, it's a continuation of the layers of okay
We're back to our comfort zone team spirit showed us a different way to exploit what we're doing
Which is to saw out the fights. How do we effectively allow nightfall to extend the fights?
do we remove heroes like ringmaster, what are these considerations in the draft?
And now we get to see the evolution of this potential best of seven as it's time to get
into our lower bracket finals. I don't care what enemy we guys, I just want to win. I'm ready for
anything. Our form was good, sometimes just feeling we're doing mistakes and just need to try to fix
I would say.
It's just that I think the level on this tournament, that like everyone don't like try to hard, except like teams that need these points for invite, you know?
But it's still worth the win.
We are motivated to get as high as possible, just to get like invite on TI.
I wanna just like beat them out, love the tournament, you know?
Beat the shit like out of these guys, I don't like like them.
I hope we beat them and they gonna cry, so that's my goal.
I mean, the Kistis are coming in pretty hard!
Oh god!
They wanted to do that, but I don't know if they really wanted to do it!
They thought they wanted to do it!
Oh, look at that!
That was a cute little cookie on the crate there!
They're just...
They're just...
They're dying, Owen!
Get away!
They're cooking, man!
Owen!
They are!
They are just...
They are just...
They're not gonna break that!
They're acting just right again!
Oh no!
Look out!
They're coming in and then they jump forward!
WS Kistikul on the speed!
They're coming in and then they jump forward!
I don't get the call on us, Nidus! Nidus gone!
Mare will put the PKB even a passive cut through for 9-4, they're both dead!
And Aurora can look to play, and none of Roshan.
If even Ness can carry, they might just run it down the lane.
As they know that Falcons think you don't have any buyback.
If we get to very much, we'll know what to ban, what to pick, what to do.
It's gonna be very easy.
First I don't know, it's like 50-50.
They can do something against us.
They shot it in the upper bracket, so I will see.
Mira's got something to play for. He's got a bone to pick with his former teammates.
As the time has come again, he has been replaced. Rue took over earlier in the season, and as then we had a not-me.
The four position for Spirit has been rotating out, except Mira.
I did not know it was like this. I thought there was still a friendly relationship between them, but apparently not.
This gives you fuel, but this could also affect your gameplay. So I want to see in which direction it's gonna go
I think it's friendly rivalry
like to say
But Aurora they're pretty scary. They're coming into this series
I think they are the team to beat even though they did lose the spirit in the upper bracket yesterday
They just looked way too on point. They looked way too good
They were stomping falcons and like less than 30 minute games. I think for Aurora today
their focus is actually going to be around shutting down Laurel and not
giving him a mid lane to play through and the honest sound spirit to fix that
because looking at how they played yesterday they need Laurel to be able
to set the tempo for this game. The one caveat that I will give to Aurora's
performance over the last few days is again they've been playing the third
series of the day against teams that had extremely long first series they beat
Tundra 2-0 after they had that incredibly long series against Extreme
And then maybe Falcons 2.0, even though their other series was a 2.0, it was still like a hundred new games.
They could be potentially playing eight games today.
Yeah, both of them.
This seems to be like a real factor in some of these games, because you could definitely feel
Tundra, Falcons after playing longer series that it did affect them.
So coming up from the loser's bracket or lower bracket, it does feel like you have significant disadvantage.
Stamina is going to be a big issue, especially with how persistently long most of the games have been going.
going that the second half of the yesterday was a bit of an exception.
As we get into the draft for game number one of this lower bracket final, Spirit have
the first pick and they get an Alchemist after banning out the Tiny, the Puck, and the Timbersaw
respect to WS Aurora, they ban out Lone Druid, Snapfire, Pango, and Slaughter and respond
to the Alchemist unsurprisingly with a Doom.
Yeah, I'm actually curious, you know, I know Alchemist has worked really well for Team Spirit,
I just think Doom's the best counter in the entire game because you remove Alchemist's
like, regen in the early game, like very few off-lighters can kill Alchemist once he's
level 6.
And also, there's a lot of injection of net worth into one guy in the mid game with the
aggs and you can doom that guy.
So Alchemist is basically not a hero in the game until like 25 minutes.
And so you're fighting 4v5 already, which Doom becomes even more proportionately effective.
I'm actually curious what Team Spirit's thinking here.
Do you guys have any idea of how they can enable this, or how they can respond to this,
or is it just as what it is?
I mean, there's very typical Laurel-Prene of Pain that they can play through.
What I worry about with Alchemist is while they do have a really good success rate on
it, television yesterday showed us that you can just end the game very early against the
Alchemist team.
I did it with Beastmaster, and a lot of people think,
oh, Beastmaster online versus Alchemist, easy for Alchemist.
It doesn't matter, this guy will get the helm
of the dominator, he'll group up with his team,
and the game is over before you can pool Ag's tier cores.
So my question for Spirit is,
are you considering this Beastmaster?
What do you have cooked up here?
I'm looking at one hero for Alchemist specifically,
that's Primal Beast.
I like the Queen of Pain pairing,
I like the Void Spirit pairing, Void Spirit, not as much,
but my first pick would be Primal Beast,
because this is the hero that Team Spirit does,
They play it from two different roles and maybe not straight out of the phase
But they need to see like which supports they're gonna have because sometimes probably doesn't really have that good of a time
playing against certain supports in the lane these dark willows crystal maidens clockworks, which are still all available in the pool
but I feel like also spirit realized throughout the game that throughout this tournament that
They need to start picking heroes that have a lot of HP on their side because they're playing some like turrets that have
like no HP whatsoever, and then you're playing against 5,000 HP, tiny, these dooms that you
don't have enough.
There's one hero who has this full, like, three times the amount of your HP, which makes
it very difficult for you to play the game.
Yeah, it's looked really good.
And Aurora, they double core here to block Tick, the Laurel Queen of Pain.
I like this Tick, because Queen of Pain is one of the heroes that doesn't really suffer
against a lot of mid-lane matches.
Yeah, they're almost certainly going to go to the primal bin, right?
And then the question is, do they delay the primal pick?
Because it's probably pretty obvious.
And do you just respond to the Queen of Pain right now?
Because I do think Queen of Pain, like if you pick something like a Viper, can absolutely
get destroyed.
Huskar's in the pool as well.
There are, like, it, Queen of Pain can be reliable, but there are some matchups that
can significantly slow her down.
So you're more interested in dealing with Queen of Pain as opposed to getting another
Aghceptor?
I'm saying I think you'll have the opportunity to pick the Aghceptor hero.
It's a matter of which one do they go first and I think, I like what Mira said about Team
Spirit's reliance on Laurel having like a good impact on the mid game out of the laning
phase and I feel like this Queen of Pain block pick is kind of enabling him to do that.
Sure.
And so it's a bit of a concern for me.
I'm curious how they choose to exploit it if they do on Team Spirit.
picking the phoenix kawari's kawari's done for he's got to get warlock now
well he's been playing in his hero pool he plays bane well with enlich and the
bane is better i think
and he he's looked good on those heroes can i go for void spirit
snagging them stuff to recipient and how's the matchup against the queen of
pain mid
i i'm pretty sure that one's a wash and the thing i like about void spirit
as their acceptor choice is all the other heroes kind of rely on like long fights and just being durable like even having a queen of pain of your own it's like you're gonna buy a bloodstone with your axe and have like sustained
lights and doom loves that but voids a jump in silent you yeah axe guys so it's a lot better I think against like the doom in the club it's a very good style lenseo game you're playing
against Void Spirit, you're playing against Phoenix, you can easily, like this is something
that Kaori also played. I would probably love to see this one. Lyon, Lyon so far in the
tournament he looked exceptionally well. It's a stun, it's a setup, it's a burst damage.
We saw one really bad game yesterday when 9th class played Lyon, but other than that
I think this hero just fits in very well in all the drafts. It's a super strong laner
and you always get the value out of it.
Mira just looks very good and comfortable
in playing it too.
The way that he's been playing recently,
just running to that mid lane very early on,
is going to require responses from Team Spirit.
A lot of rotations to the mid lane from Aurora
have been happening pre-5 minutes even.
Or they'll double bring their support,
like a Kairi plus Mira flank.
They'll have like a bane and a not-fire hitting you.
Got to do something about it.
I would, the Warlock.
I told you.
I would love to see a Tusk actually from not me here.
They picked a Yasha against the Lion.
I think it's one of the best saves in the game
against Lion specifically because yes, the save is nice.
A lot of heroes, there are other options,
but you also have this like early kill threat on a hero.
Like like your mid game is way more powerful than Lion's.
So you kind of like counter him at all stage of the game.
And then a hero like Warlock, I think the best way to deal with it
is to be able to actually kill the heroes.
And you need a substantial amount of damage
against the heal to do that.
So, that's the hero I'm eyeing, but they might also just go for Collapsus Hero if they're worried about getting banned out.
Okay, so they go for the Prime.
I think that's one of the downsides of having Warlock in your lane.
You open up the draft for potentially some of these stronger offlaners, like Axe for example.
Primal Beast is a very good pick because Warlock doesn't really do anything to you.
And if this is gonna be carry Doom, so far we haven't really seen WS Play, do you might believe.
but it's been mostly on nightfall.
It's just super strongly.
When you think about Doom,
you'd scorch Earth to get on top of a hero
with the fatal bonds, with the heal.
So it makes it difficult to play,
but Primal Beast also loves to play into these matchups
where there are no stunts.
They're expecting maybe it's WS.
It has been a 50-50 split between nightfall and WS on the Doom.
Yeah.
Spirit ban out and Earth's the just in case.
Yeah, the offline Doom is susceptible to like,
dominant safe lanners.
Like we saw it get absolutely owned by, uh, Drow, or sorry, SF against Team Spirit in their previous series.
Like, it's just SF triant. Like, that kind of lane is gonna really mess the doom up, but I don't think Doom Offlane
minds very much lane against like a Phoenix plus Alchemist, so I think they're gonna keep it that way.
I would lean towards it being for WS this game.
Yeah, I mean, the thing is if they put it on the Offlane, they're choosing to play a slower game.
when you have an Alchemist Doom versus picking a Tempo Alchemist, like Lycan or Eustmuster,
because I do think you can exploit the period that Alchemist is weak, but if they read on it,
is they're not going to come out with too much out of the laning stage at the moment, then
they're happy to play a slower game. I'm down for Dawnbreaker if they're looking for an
Alchemist if they want to run this Doom as a carry. It's very good in the lane against Alchemist,
it gives you the kill threat, you have literally no stuns to stop Dawnbreaker from getting the
combo off. Alchemist can be okay, if you cook straight away, but you have Lion, so quite
a lot of control, a lot of kill threat in that lane. And it's also another way of dealing
with the Primal Beast ulti. You have Golem, you have Dawn ulti on top of that, so a lot
of ways to reset the fight.
And Spirit most likely is still looking for their non-me hero. Your Tusk is still available
and that you ban up the Dawnbreaker, as you mentioned in the class. I'll just say my one
Apprehension against a tusk is I've been seeing a lot of these dooms get their agatom scepter shiva's
Freaking 400 billion aoe doom and you have three melee cores right now who need to get in the fight
Yeah, normally I'd say like let's worry about that at 45 minutes, but that happens every single game
So I think that's definitely a worthwhile consideration
And it's I think right now the meta is tough to plan for because it is probably seen games into like 25 minutes
I've seen these type of games happen, so you do need to factor in like what do the matchups look like at the Millennium Age in the mid-game,
but then you also do have to consider how does it scale, 45, 60 minutes plus.
I imagine it's very hard to draft right now.
Also, Ringmaster potentially on the menu for Team Spirit, a lot of single-target damage on a hero.
If they feel like they need an extra bit of a save coming out, there was a game that they played against Aurora
where Ringmaster looked insanely good with the agonim scepter with the refresher on top of that.
Could be really good. The support duo isn't like as aggressive, but you have pretty much
two heroes that go in, so having two defensive support doesn't really matter as much.
I could say that I could see Grimistrope as well for the primal combination.
Or at Techies. I mean Techies has been his strongest laning hero and maybe
they just want to make sure that their early game is safe.
Because the one downside to not lose Ringmaster was even though he did own in that game later on,
He was like level 3, minute 8. The early game looked quite weak.
Techies will actually threaten whoever the enemy carry is.
Which is apparently a faceless Void and they make WS play the Offlane Doom.
I was actually thinking they might go Lifestealer again, but the reason why I liked Lifestealer was because
it's really hard to boot out of lane. And I feel like when I'm in nightfall, I want my team to be allowed to play around Makoto.
And even WS's lane matchup, I think it's pretty good.
So the reason I also like the Faceless Void is because
against the lineup we're looking at, it is very difficult.
Like maybe you can kill his tower if you bring four heroes,
but it's going to be very difficult to kill him in the first 15 to 20 minutes and just...
I do think Alchemist scales really hard and we saw one way to beat it is just in the game,
but I don't know, something about Aurora's draft was telling me they plan to go late here.
Like they picked Lion Warlock supports.
So I like the Void for what it does for their early and late game.
Actually, I'm leaning over here maybe like 60-40. I don't know what you guys are thinking.
I understand the very commonsense because very draft looks really solid for a late game death.
I just find this to be an interesting approach to this matchup because
I really feel like they could have chosen to exploit all of this slow first 20 minutes
and play tempo like they did yesterday, but instead they're consciously choosing
to go late game against Team Spirit, which is where Team Spirit tends to thrive.
Yeah, their late game is insane. This is pretty much unlimited damage,
the damage, doing Faceless Void, Dream of Pain, I don't think you can get like better overall late game heroes.
But this is what he's gonna have, extremely good game early on, like he's paired up with Warlock.
If he gets the Time Walk off, all of the damage from Primal Beast and Pickies, if you can't really burst him from 100 to 0,
he's fine, gonna Time Walk that damage off, as we've seen yesterday when Yachter played it, picking up the Bracer multiple times, like living on 15 HP.
But I kinda agree that they maybe needed to speed things up, because if you give Alchemist,
haste timings to probably the best Agatom scepter upgrades in the game on Primal Beast and on Void
Spirit. I think this game could kind of go both ways, but I'm leaning Spirit to this one.
And you're saying the tempo would have come if they made Doom the Carry and picked different
offlaners? Which I guess the only apprehension is who kills the Eggven because they don't really
have any right clicker. So this Void is now basically the only right clicker. So it's either
Do you face Spirit in Tempo or do you face Spirit in Teamfights and Aurora are going to have to face them no matter what at probably 75 minutes in the game as how Dream League has been going.
Let's find out if this game will match the face if we get into a game number one with Garrus and SPJ.
Now it goes Aurora here with the drafts that's right to the plate.
into Team Spirit's final, some supreme late-game ulti's massive teamfighter trying to pick their moments
and he dragged this game out, but every first they've got to defeat the Aspirist at his time, man.
There'll be a very strong 30 to 40 minute window for Spirit. They can get their full force with double-ags pool on these heroes.
Disgusting stuff for Aurora to have to deal with. They're gonna need three or four items on this void to be able to contest that in the fight
And then push it late
Very scary like game lineup though
I don't think spirit are beating this if it goes
Ultra late 60 minutes plus if you have six lots on all three of these cores
I don't really know what beat these three cores in the ultra late game. It's almost impossible. You would need
extreme overwhelming
Network superiority or just you know like I'm talking three or four win-waker type of level J's
Well, I did it before right like three Lincoln's three lotuses to try and defeat a doom
But then it's like okay. We've dealt with one hero down as a faceless boy. Yeah, that's the issue
It's just too much so if your spirit you definitely want to end this game before it goes ultra late
If you're a raw you're kind of chilling as long as everybody's farming everyone's getting big if you have some late pressure
You're gonna be happy
They're gonna start off with a kill of WX already getting a throw of that first blood plus two money in the pockets
Extra grievous greed on that. He's very happy about his start now pick up an extra bounty earn as well
Not me continue make moves
That's him
I mean, he's got to have played this tournament so far.
I'll be really curious how his performance for the rest of the year goes,
because I think this has been one of the best debuts we've seen for a player in a long time.
Is it a honeymoon phase, or is this guy the real deal?
Yeah, it's a lot alright when he joined.
It took him a while to settle in, six months or so, where,
I mean, it's kind of the whipping boy who didn't have a great time,
but now he looks impeccable.
Not me, the complete inverse as he joined Team Spirit.
Let's hope he can keep the performance up because when Spirit are good, they're a very fun team to watch.
I think Aurora have been very entertaining too, especially with how much Nightfall has changed his play style.
He's been a very AFK carry, I'll pay for it.
He's been really active, he's had some games where he's rotating to mid, looking through the gate,
even on some of these harder carries.
He's on one of his things, he's in the faceless void.
See how active he gets in this game.
Definitely a game you can join to the fights with time dilation against some of these heroes and really ruin their day.
You are against Alchemist who has a good matchup against you for a long time, but you're confidence scaling into so
Nightfall should be in his element here potential for early game impact plus the heavy scale that he likes
And kind of pick and choose his moments in this game
The one thing I think that's dangerous for them in this series and in this game in particular is
giving collapse
This is much freedom. I think this primal is almost guaranteed to free farm down here
It's just a product of the warlock. Warlock is not a hero who really stops the all-flayers farming
Just kind of guarantees his own carry success, which is nice for the faceless boy
You know if your face was white free farming you're usually pretty happy, but you are giving an arguably
The goat all flayner and a lot of people's eyes
Farm on a hero. He's super comfortable on and we've seen him carry games
So he does have rough scaling matchups, but then it claps
gets like an extra kill on this lane or
or Cowery feeds a little, it's a scary proposition
to give him that kind of position.
So you can stop bleeding out into other lanes, right?
With this prone beast able to rotate,
offer a ton of damage and control.
If you think, okay, we're just gonna run away
from this Alchemist, one will come through
and says, nope, I can chase you down.
They didn't get a really nice Bonds here,
not me giving them the double Bonds
and then taking a huge amount of damage off that.
So they are winning this early region war.
Pretty nice.
So far looking pretty good mid and the spawn lane
Last hit, why is the non means gonna throw the plant self in there get some good damage back on to them at least after they salve up
Very tough lane to pressure night fallen
Yes, we're lucky. He has time walk most of her damage is just you gotta throw it out there
I'm just gonna get time walked off lose the Lotus here, too
So pretty strong start for Aurora across all three lanes. Yeah, everybody farming. They have equilibrium control top
mid's going pretty well for me code early. There's a couple extra nice and this Alakaz
Get beat up man.
You now just get stunned into infernal blade.
Mira's got to be all careful though against this Roof Phoenix.
Fine experience sometimes.
Bloodgrain being held.
Could be a potential kill back on the line.
It's interesting to see how this Phoenix priority goes up in this series.
It does go to Spirit in this game one in the second phase.
But this is like you're able to both teams are going to value a lot.
It just seems to be the highest damage support you can get in this meta
in terms of consistent output in the teamfights.
It always gives you that big threat on these all players that are sometimes an issue.
an issue like if I'm gonna give timbersaw away Phoenix is super high priority in my mind
so they're important to be able to give you the kill threat on a hero like that so if it
performs well here in game one could shoot up the ranking very quickly that's a that small
camp.
Yeah as his brain gets thrown in oh we got all of it nice.
Ticks it over.
Can't even steal.
No WS got the mats don't know.
Yeah, the Phoenix also creates a lot of noise in those mid-game teamfights.
Take the attention away from some of your cores, because if you're able to, you know, play from a high ground or get a good supernova down,
it becomes a focal point. You think, okay, do we have to kill the egg? Do we kill this doom?
Do we give the alchemist? How do we get the doom out?
Very annoying. You have to focus a position 5 here, right?
They don't have the best 8 killers this game.
And once all these heroes are farmed, yeah, it's easier, but...
In the mid-game, could prove problematic.
Collapses drank his way back to tier one.
This top lane is the consistent battle over the creeps.
Another concoction towards the doom.
Some chip damage out of Rue.
Nice double fire spruits.
It's really just collapsed suffering.
I thought he would do better in this lane, but they haven't really been able to control
the position and get it back.
The camps have really been blocked up by Kauri, which is not so...
So normally you don't want to give this warlock full, useful cube control.
It's primal dying bomb.
He's dead.
That's got a shadow word bloke grenade on him.
Yeah, he's dead.
He's taking down, he's dead.
He observed one giving perfect vision over onto the wall after you get a kill.
I'm really surprised he's getting pressure this much.
Maybe they should have just pulled the first wave or something.
And the top lane room very low, but they're back onto WS with a dive forward.
Not me's arrival.
Gonna make that a trial lane.
Or at least getting something out of that top spot.
Kind of sacrificed in this primal lane though, with this rotation off the techies.
The lane that wasn't going well, now you're gonna bring the support off it.
Basically staying in claps, get whatever you can.
Does bring the warlock off the lane, I guess he's looking towards mid for 6 minute power rune.
Trying to secure it for Makoto with Sonic Wave available as Queen of Pain is deadly on the map.
Makoto, I'm just gonna go that spring for Sonic Wave. Love, not me. Trade out my lull at least.
So before it gets something out of it, if they're guarding the rune, Kaori steps in front, allows Makoto to bottle up the arcane, and now Lohal just has the TV back to fountain.
Needs the resource refill. Successful rune contest. For Aurora they get something out of the early Sonic wave, and now they have an arcane rune for the next one, so it'll be a low cooldown Sonic wave on round two. Pretty nice for them.
So if we're thinking about Aurora wanting to drag this game out, having a 1k lead settled into a very comfortable laning stage, they're already in a good position to just springboard into that mid game.
Ah, it's looking really good for them. You're winning early, you know, with Vace's voice. Doom, co-op-ite.
Hell yeah, just sign me up. It's gonna feel real good going in here.
Especially when you've got Doom against Alchemist and this Lion Queen of Pain who offer burst damage.
And it's not easy for Yotaro to find safe places to farm, they're going to have to create this firewall in front of him and guard the alchemist when they get out of the landing stage.
Man, I can see he's even got the wisdom shrine here.
Lakoto swinging over our tainer and ready.
And there's Nightfall as well.
Thanks as well, Edwan, does that ever?
Pretty brutal for Spirit.
They have a really low level support plus off-linger, it's like collapsing without more than anybody else.
She continued to get punished down here.
That pushes these two Raven supports closer to Alties.
Super scary stuff for Spirit.
So it's just mounting and mounting.
Now they need to get collapsed out on this lane and stay somehow.
Level 4, Primal Beast. Trying to finish off his phase boots.
I guess no jungle to clear.
Yeah, the good news for him is eventually he can get an axe pool.
He can just game drop, and we saw this in the other game.
He was the lowest net worth hero in that game, but once he got the axe pool,
His HP goes up, his impact, the fights goes up, and he can kind of just take one good fight, come back, and suddenly you're close to farming here on the end.
So as long as the Alakaz farming, like, you kind of get away with this.
But it does put more pressure on this mid lane, and the mid lane is getting ganked.
Yeah, that's why I get onto this Void Spirit. Just him lays back to his tower, and Phoenix guarding that shield room, going to grab it.
There's no refill there for Larl.
The important ring of health, trying to top himself up.
I guess you're right, that is the thing, right?
The money just breeds confidence in this team spirit.
So, like, if Alchemist is farming, that means the other player is like,
okay, it's not that bad.
For sure.
And Alc, Stroud is all about that, Alc.
Well, how fast you can get the early ags online,
this is a hundred percent the ag's poor game,
not just the carry-off game, so...
Gotta try and work towards that.
Well, this might be something.
Collapsed cutting wave, a little bit of a bait turn in here as Mera and Nightfall try to kill off the final beast
but the Chrono comes in, the blast off misses, and Queen of Pain with the Stonic Wave's gonna annihilate both of them.
Down you go!
Not the fight to take, it's too easy for Aurora to connect on these backside fights with all of their fake ulti's
and they're gonna happily clean that up.
Very risky to go for any sort of skirmish there while the Primal's just trying to creep cut and get something out of a lane that did not go well.
Not as if they lose anything, right?
Spirit 1 playing middle of top lane. Alchemist is tucked into the pocket farming jungle.
The Void Spirit backed away to clear some camps, so that move doesn't lose anything.
No Tamil damage, no creep wave loss.
Oh, Earth-Effect efficiency for Aurora. Aurora's super happy with this.
Maybe the Atoros are getting a lot, but they're very happy. They have a Doom farming in empty lane while the Alch jungles, the coops get in value out of the sonic waves.
You get some Chrono value here, the Voids pre-farming.
Happy times? Yeah, pretty much everything you want here.
Now for Warlock ulti soon too, you can maybe make a play in the top with that plus the doom.
A little scary for Yator to sit up here.
In the 10th mini we've got two level 4 supports with Spirit looking at this doom and thinking maybe we can go WS2 steps back.
Doctor's out of the impulsion and now you get doomed up with the Queen of Pain running you down.
And it's level 4 Scream offering tons of damage so another blink in from Quaff should be able to finish it if they need to and he will go for it.
Phoenix is wide open now but long with the rotation.
He has a bit of damage on this Queen, but she's so tanky.
Soaring, raindrops, wand, just waves goodbye, she blinks away.
That's just a battery for control.
I don't know if he's like trying to get the creep CS with the cell stun or whatever, just trying to play efficient,
but you can't stun yourself in front of a doom when this quab can just keep you on Tower of Link on you and give you the extra damage for the kill.
That was hella greedy.
And he was the one part of the spirit lineup that was doing well in this early game, so to give up that kill, it just feels even worse.
And now with the Cowapult wave, right onto this mid lane.
Two supports plus the Queen of Pain.
He's gonna TP mid with the Alchemist.
Oh wow.
Very risky if it doesn't work out.
I guess he's just gonna ask the Great of the Tower that can play more reasonable.
Kill the Cowapult, push the wave, back to farming.
I guess job well done by the Alchemist.
This sequence hurt for Yutoro though.
He was like a thousand ahead of the Void, now the Void's ahead.
Nightfault just.
Getting so much out of this early game, he's going straight battle theory, honestly with this start I don't mind.
I kind of like the meal, you're more on this hero because your early mid game damage just scales up faster and harder, you're able to contribute to fights.
How greedy can he be? Like this battle theory straight to end?
Do we have a BKB to slot in that? I think he might be able to get away with it this game.
See what happens, we have seen some games where this build just falls completely flat.
You don't get over that little valley.
It was not good for him.
Yeah, that's the game I'm remembering where.
It just did not work out, but the thing is he...
Hello? Very close!
He finished off that scream!
Just a solo kill out of this queen.
Level 10 now on the co-tower, they dive top lane,
not enough damage out of the finger of death and mirror are going to get popped by the concoction.
Something for spirit but it's only a little lion.
And I brought numbers up here.
In the meantime, Collapse has been farming a bunch of ancients though, so he's up to about 4,000 net worth.
Trying to get that BKB up as quickly as possible is just such an uphill battle.
Now Toro's getting forced off his little golems too, man.
Nothing's free on this map.
Not as calorie with his big ol' golem.
Even Nightfall's coming with Chrono ready,
he wants to try and find something.
This looks impossible to play.
Here you have Drumb upon this doom.
Got the goblet as well,
so these heroes are gonna be super fast.
It's fake pumping the Chrono.
A TP over the cliff top.
Nightfall not gonna spend it.
Phoenix is like one experience,
Two experienced who said she was desperately scrambling to try and push that way back.
That's battle period done.
But for the 13 minute mark, that is ridiculous.
There's gonna be another tier one tower going down top. Nightfall can go back bottom. He's gonna defend this tier one. There's just no real point of attack here for Spirit.
Just have to try and farm up into Void Spirit Mage Slayer and Phoenix Egg.
Try and punish them over extension. I don't know. It looks a little rough right now.
They're gonna go and collapse
I'm deletion in spun him up
Queen of pain offering tons of damage to kill off the primal don't even need the chrono
So easy my this is now a real test of not me right lose you've seen him
Execute beautifully on rubik have some nice games ways ahead and able to play his hero. He is currently a level five techies
14 minutes in this game is a disaster for spirit at this point like they are
I'm really feeling the pressure on this one.
I think a lot of it's a product of this off-link.
They just did not play this off-link well.
Nightfall took advantage of it.
They just double-bonded him multiple times,
abused the high HP primal.
He didn't get to see us well early.
He's kind of your...
The linchpin that's gonna bring this line together
in the early slash mid game, at least a little bit in the fights.
If your techies is super-gibbed,
still level five at 14 minutes,
they're gonna lose another wisdom try.
I mean...
Double again, yeah?
Is he going to ever be level 6 in this game?
I don't know.
It's a real tough one for him.
And it puts so much more pressure on his mid game fight than execution for Spirit.
And you said right, collapse.
He is that hero that needs to get stuff done.
I mean, what mid game fight?
Should I maybe kill the lion?
It's a fight.
It's not a fight, that's a...
A sniper on a warlock or something?
Poor me, it's a assassination attempt.
Just pick on someone.
To get a bullying.
They have an amp damage on.
Laurel Boyd Spirit.
What a best opportunity you're in a half year just watching Void farm your ancient to 14 minutes Aurora fully greenlit though
Every LT available smoked up and playing top. Look how strong his queen is
Dakota already has 2000 HP with Kaia done. Yeah
Level 12
Second level in the Sonic wave and the doom is already playing aggressively getting a reaction out spirit
Dooming the Phoenix so he's gonna fall Dakota dominating and mirror wrapped around to find the alchemist
So we're gonna get nice pick off with a finger of death back at it in too easy right now
way too easy
This team is getting desperate you have to find something of your spear here with this hand damage try to play that Bolton killed night full
He is the big ticket take down if they can find it. That's just
Stoffing on this guy. It has to be layered perfectly. They're hesitating. They don't want to go. I can't do it
But what's the better opportunity? This is the most killable core
But he's not showing nothing, I thought we'd raise this perfectly.
And he has the Celtic offering behind him, and now we've spent the trample onslaught,
I'll drop the golem onto the primal.
Collapse, he's trying to bait them in here for a backstab out of the dv'd Laurel Void
spirit to get the war locked down, but Collapse is being backed by the void, and jump back
in, we'll finish him off, Makoto has arrived.
Now Phoenix, 6-1 charges and a dream to stay alive, but the rest of your team's being
chrono'd up.
Supernova's being spent by that Sonic Wave damage!
Clears through another, as Larl is on this face with Void, but I don't know if he's got enough damage!
He just time-works it off after being at 50 HP!
They dive in with the Phoenix and now the Elk!
Protection from Mirror up with a ticking damage takes him down!
Mikoto picks up the third though, and as Larl falls, the Spirit gets something!
It was not pretty.
At least your Torget's the clean up here, the big Ulties are thrown out.
You do get the big faces Void kill, but man that felt like it was just really awkwardly played by Sphere.
They're not looking too clean right now. Aurora taking advantage.
And Makoto continues to just get out of control. That's the issue, even if you're killing Void or Doom in this game, they have three carries.
They're all a big threat in this game.
Queen of Pain level 14 now, 6-0 start.
This is where it's awkward, like you have this game coming from behind, the law basically has to double jump in.
Clean up the warlock, but now you're gonna have to clump on the second half of this fight because the primal is dead early
At least you're able to kind of use chrono against nightfall here with the egg on the side of it. It was well played
By Rue
He's in damage out
But look at how many right clicks warlock is in with the same thing. It's basically nothing. So that's what I'm saying
It's just a very awkward fight. Normally this voidsphere would be your damage leader here
And this all comes from nightfall getting the reek or the team understanding and two spirit
We're gonna try and play this way down in the bottom right corner because they carry sat behind him nightfall didn't show on way
Oh, they were very ready for it
And I wonder what the cons were like in clean spirit because when you spend primal spells like that
It felt like he was doing it on purpose to say, okay, I spend my sp- they're gonna go on me, right?
I've used my spells. They have to go on me just to fought like hard force the fight
But then you're without your primal beast abilities, which is a ton of damage
That's what I'm saying was just very awfully like they- they hesitated on this play and they weren't sure they had the damage and to me that's
That's not spirit when they're in full focus, you know.
They're not gonna hesitate on a play like that.
We're gonna go again?
Nah, I just force my full out lane.
I see another smoke on WS, he has Blink.
He's gonna look for this Alch every opportunity he can.
Some more Phoenix.
Settle for the Phoenix.
Okay, for the easy freebie.
Try and deny to neutral or something.
That's not gonna happen.
You've got congregation, so tendrils over the...
Yeah, I'm gonna doom already.
You're paying where you're towards.
Send the second hit squad in.
They do get the scan.
I can't believe I'm seeing this with my own eyes!
I'm seeing the Alchemist here, but...
Man, Ag's done for the Queen of Pain!
Before the Alch gives one!
Exactly!
That is brutal here.
Great Queening too, in terms of scaling.
You're getting triple melee core.
That is...
Tough to run into the dagger span.
So it's going to be some wave cutting and...
Some rat action from Spirit trying to get to the BKB on the Primal and then pool him in Ag's.
The fascist pulled the voidspear nags
You're gonna try something this voidspear it he's been running to altis dropped on his head to simulate together
But a distance with a double step back into the tree line and the dive away from Phoenix
But the coach just keeps on going he's through you can't escape because grass
He has been brought to keep part 706
Or a cruising
So now we're looking at Blink Bag of Lion, so it's even harder for Lyle to play this
in and out style when you've got the jump from the lion.
Just trying to buy time for this alchemist.
He's about a thousand away from this acronym, Scepter.
Where's the Primal DKP?
I think I'd rather give the Hags to the final here because he has the VKB, but it's definitely
the worst Hags.
If you rather give it the Void Sphere and you need the extra Silence and Sable, but the
heroes are just farming so fast.
When the rodents are in the window, they'll get a little tele-time.
Yeah, it's tough.
And the Nightfall off the back of that kill on Tech is on the left-hand side.
I guess to push this entire wave out finish off his mantis style move to both his anger them scepter
He doesn't have to join place if Aurora just want to say okay
We got one. Let's just sit back play defensive around at the tier ones. They're still up for spirit into us. They can absolutely
That's the terrifying part
You know the edging for a fight I have scan the tomb though
Good fall. He's waiting
It's just a very good read from Aurora, not to start this. Could have been a comeback.
Team fight from Spirit.
And now Smoke, gonna play through the gate.
Maybe trying to hunt the Alchemist, but he's nowhere to be seen.
And he does pull the axe to the Void Spirit. I think that's the one you have to go with here.
He's less strong than the Primalory now, but it's the better axe and gives you a better chance of finding kills on these heroes.
The Dextra Arc denies the boy in the QWAP.
You can actually express the strength of the hero.
You're starting to see up some of these big spells, like the Lion or the Doom, before they cast.
Some of those Disables, very important.
Since we're actually able to take that bottom right corner.
So Aurora had the good read, don't go for Torn.
Unfortunately they don't find the Alchemist farming jungle, but they do push out two lanes at the same time.
Give us away the positioning of Spirit now.
Honestly, they might still find the Alchemist in the mid lane.
It's Mirror with a jump, blink and finger and doom.
Start it off onto Gatoro.
Trying to farm the wave.
Accept this fate.
And the Golem drops right onto Tier 2.
I wasted no time.
I'm gonna be up the objective pressure Spirit and I'm gonna smoke down bottom.
It's an interesting smoke without the Alch.
They do have an Arcane rune on Laurel with that axe tool.
So the Void Spirit... quite strong right now.
And then her doom is down, but there's Queen of Pain with almost 3000 health.
Kai's Stange, you jumped on her.
Ah, it's way too far.
Hippenfly is back, Lall is out on his own, so a heck stops him.
Now the Primal Beast is trying to onslaught back in.
Lall's being focused though, gets a disseminate to disengage.
Sunray towards collapse as he gets over the top of WS, and that cronos pretty bad.
WS falls, Lall's the trade out.
We're gonna get back onto this Primal Beast and the Lion...
Focus on the techies with Makoto.
Looking to take down the support as he goes in vis-a-vis the glimmer gate.
The faceless void and a line of track back up the final beast.
Techies keep these out, but collapse.
Finished off.
I feel like we all saw that fight was not going to work while they were going for it.
Especially the jump on the queen after the queen blinks okay?
Confold my lull.
You don't have to damage follow up for that kind of reach.
It's just pure desperation.
And that was a fight where Chrono did literally nothing.
There's Chrono the Golem.
Right in the middle of the lane.
That's true, the Golem got that stuff.
Pull guy.
Right now that's momentum.
27, 11k lead with a late game lineup like this.
Spirits of strides to the grass with scrolls, pulling things out of the fight.
But how are these plays working?
I'm thinking that's the Ackerman's flying out of Lull that doesn't do anything.
Not me gonna get sniped down in that.
So I'm entering the area, trying to get her to steal.
I think this Queen picking the draft really just...
It messed them up because all the Ackserials they wanted are not gonna lane well against
Queen, so picking it early and blind there is completely fine.
And you just put so much scale pressure on Spirit.
Makoto, he played it perfectly. He's having a perfect game here.
He gets to die, found all those early Sonic wave kills to accelerate.
Honestly, this feels pretty unkillable.
Oh yeah, he's absolutely unkillable in this game.
Now, I'm just here, they're going to have to
just try to farm this elk
back into the game, use the extra gold game.
What would the Lallan collapse do for the next 20 minutes?
Yeah, wrap the map. This Primal's not getting an axe anytime soon.
And the roar I've shown, they're pretty good at tracking back and stopping them.
They're cutting and wave pushing.
Mira and Makoto having such strong mobility.
It's quite orious, Axe.
So his farm rates are only going to go up here.
I'm gonna start farming heroes.
I'm pivoting to that right side.
My class is trying to farm a couple of neutral camps.
My fall's gonna move into mid.
It's fireman smoke, yet to connect on it, you think.
Tankies, Breaks vision.
Take down, not me.
A punching bag of team spirit.
In this poor position, four tankies.
Technically that is by best outcome for spirit here
Lose the least valuable hero on the map right now
They ever get a wisdom trying this game one third on collapse got one on the right. I'm sorry
You want to well, I was wondering the same thing. I checked have a look
Yeah, the level of despair in this game is pretty severe and has been they lost the first two so
Better rough fun here in game one this via Rochon going
created to a war as bonk in no contest they have three aggressive observer awards as well so
if you're spirit you really have to do the creative side bat farming which they're doing right now
i just like sliding down that restaurant like i can't remember the actual num that stands
off but getting getting double doubled on the wisdom shrines is just pretty severe yeah disgusting
Disadvantage
They can't even cut waves when you're lifting it up as the region they keep a couple of melee creeps a light bottom and
Phoenix who's trying to push out top found by the doom while middle lane not me
Snipe by this queen of pain
The odd got like Makoto very comfortable with this state of affairs
Having a just on the face of Floyd now he's nightfall. He can just go in and out
Give vision scout things out think about if you want to chrono
So many options for Aurora and how they want to approach the map.
They don't just go high ground, they really want it to pressure on you.
And your options are kind of force some objective or try and catch the rats.
Which they're catching the supports, they're not catching the cores right now.
Our Alchemist has been spotted.
RagingVision has seen him come through to this top jungle, it's a good ward.
Dire Ward is going to give him a little bit of early warning, but he doesn't have a blink or anything.
BKB and chemical raid ready.
He's going to sprint through the river, don't want to change things.
In the back they've got a pulverize on war logs, so spirit!
I'm going to find that kill as Kira falls.
Interesting, he did want to cry.
I don't know if Doom available and so many heroes couldn't connect,
But that kind of tells you Nipal that it doesn't have to damage even with the Queen there to burst it out.
Like I said, no sonic wave as well.
Maybe he's also thinking he's not worth it.
Yeah, in a sense, like it's better to just have Chrono kill out there in some ways.
There's a threat on these lanes, heroes trying to get the waves out.
If a teamfight starts brewing, who is the big threat?
It's not Yataros, it's Collapsed and Long.
I find the hacks on him. The Void spirit, chain disabled and dance the Chrono. Nightfall makes damn sure with the finger of death out of this lion.
Got another kill on the Queen of Pain, one for the faceless Void.
It seems to bear it without two heroes for a while now.
That's why it's valuable to have that Chrono available. Try and get these lanes out, just throw all the ult on. These two playmaking cores. Every time.
And our Doom's back up. Tendrils of the Doom, blink BKB, lifeball, just time walks up the high ground, starts hitting tier 3.
The plan is to throw some boulders at them. That's not really going to be too bold as long.
And now the Phoenix. They went out and got a ward up on the high ground, but the Phoenix is going to get stunned up thanks to the pipe though and holding great healing load just simply stays alive and they jump in.
They jump in, they've stopped the Primal Beast from initiating on the Lion though.
Faceless Void steps up to Bodyguard Mirror, they've doomed up Collapse.
He's gonna get the Pulverize and the Trample Damned Lion finally falls, but...
...tread out for this Primal Beast and now I'll commit.
He's in trouble.
Goal him on his head, take his blasts off into his own death.
Lyle trying to get into the backline to find the Warlock, moonball up at the front, there's Queen of Pain,
blinking aggressively into the base, and they've got Lyle tracking back onto Kaori, but he can't finish the job.
And they'll turn on him.
Force the BKB, I hypnotize back on the Faceless Void as the Void's spirit gets bonded up to the creeps, battered down, dead for the better part of a minute.
Even that fight is just, just join your leg. Why start that fight when your Void's spirit is respawned, and not there to go and leave?
The Polvrides didn't plan, Cardio Lincoln's out on this duel.
A very weird game from Spirit in terms of their level of execution we're used to seeing in.
Yeah, you can't come into a series that slow, that disjointed, no matter what your draft is against a team like Aurora, who have a lot of momentum in this tournament.
Or coming off a series where they dismantle their opponent, right? It's one thing if they were also looking sloppy and you're like, okay, game one, we're all a bit sleepy, whatever, but Aurora are firing at all cylinders.
They're going to win this event. They are figuring out their drafts and how they're going to utilize them. They know what they're going to pick. They know what they're going to play.
Probably had draft advantage in that one, especially considering how the lanes went.
I do think there's a large window on that off lane that could have gotten better for Spirit.
I still think this Techies primal should do better in that lane.
Yeah, it went. Maybe if you look back on it, once the replay you can figure out some stuff.
But damn, like the co-op was just honing through mid to have limited lockdown for the Queen of Pain here.
The AXE pools are going to come out way later in this game to give you the lockdown,
but by then the damage is done.
done. Makoto untouched, WS just solo killing people with Doom. Too easy of a
game for Aurora Spirit to step it up in game two if they want to have a shot.
Yeah and also the flip right when we're thinking about how game length has
been increasing super long 60-70-90 minute games through this lower bracket,
2-1 series going the distance, Aurora involved in 2-2-0s and dropping that
game time down there able to play quickly even with a late game draft.
Looking hot and game one there is a takedown team spirit.
Yeah, the only thing better than knowing that you have late game insurance is also winning
the first 15 minutes of the game on top of that.
Because then who even needs to bother if you can just close it out and get a GG in sub-30
minutes with this kind of draft?
A doomed, faceless void winning this quickly, things are upside down the cost.
Same thing happened, Neil, in yesterday when they were playing against Paravision in 2-3,
they didn't focus heavily on the lanes, they lost all 3 lanes twice, and same thing happened
in this one, Faceswood Warlock, you're not supposed to be winning that lane, mid lane
as well, Mikoto off to such a good start, and then WS, like we've been praising him throughout
the whole tournament, how much he's getting from his lane, how stable he is, and in this
one, I really liked the itemization on top of that, going for the dramas, going for the
blink and not being afraid to pop that doom on any single target that he can
find with Alchemist as soon as he hits level 6 or finds Phoenix five times in a
row just to get that gold advantage. Now Aurora cooked so hard this game. The thing
about their draft is they did have the late game insurance that you mentioned
but they had strong hero-to-hero matchups so if flames went in their favor it was
hard for Spirit to find their way back in right you have Void essentially
countering primal beast, you have doom essentially countering alchemist. So you needed to
try to withstand as much as possible, give the void and early aggs and just avoid spirit
I mean, and just hope that you could find good fights off of that.
But Aurora did not give it to them. It felt like they were not letting spirit breath and the coda was
everywhere in those first 14 minutes, Brian.
Yeah, my experience playing carry this patch has been if I get booted out of lane and the other guy doesn't then I lose.
Like it has really been that by that polarizing from from my games
And I've seen it play out in a lot of these games
But also most teams are drafting to not have that happen like these tiny's and win rangers
They're very difficult to get out of lane. So when I saw the doom against alchemist
I was just like I thought the reason that you need to ban that is not because of the anti region
It's because alchemist getting gone on at the seven-minute mark on the clip
We just saw that doesn't work if it's any other hero than doom
maybe timber saw and so but then when you pick the faces void I'm like oh yeah
like I can't die in this game if I'm the faces void like in the landing face in
the landing face specifically so that dynamic for me is what allows them to
play this greedy lineup where nightfall is occupying that area he's literally
invading the enemy wisdom room at 14 minutes like when your carry is playing
like this a greedy carry at that this isn't some like weaver type carry he's
He's just invading their wisdom trying, literally taking a camp in front of Collapsus' face.
Same thing here, like this is where Aurora is farming the game.
One way to beat Alchemist is not to just kill everybody, it's literally to say, I know as
Alchemist you guys are playing a farming draft, let's just literally farm in front of your
face and pick a hero that can't die while doing it.
And that's why I think it works so well for them on, like they didn't even get to the
point where the late game mattered.
Their damage on Spirit is also very slow like Void Spirit
First of all this earth doesn't have much damage to start with he also needs to invest like heavily with the jumps with everything
Primal Beast that he also needs a couple of seconds for his damage to ramp up
You have Phoenix same goes for him same goes for Alchemist who's also like not a carry that joined like he's a different type of a carry
Nowadays, it's not like oh, I get the Radiance Mantis style BKB blink and I play with my team
It's more of you guys play 4v5 and then I'm playing my own type of a game versus creeps until I get that one agonim
Scepter maybe two but the game was so fast from their side that they weren't able to get that
I think Brian you had a very good point about you know
Do him farming before the game started and also having doom as on the other side
So basically this is three versus five because Alak is not joining and you're taking out one guy with a doom
Which makes the fights almost impossible to play
What I wanted to also mention was that earlier we talked about how important it is for Laurel
to enable Spirits mid game and we saw the difference here because Queen of Pain, Megodo, was sitting
on that bot lane in all those clips you showed us. Queen of Pain had just gone bottom before
there was a run. Queen of Pain was in the triangle while Void was farming those creeps. Like,
having a hero that is this active and just following the faceless Void around who's
and I, Unkillable, makes it so that Void Spirit can't comfortably react to this.
And that will take me back to the draft where they saw the Queen of Pain first, and they
countered with the Void Spirit for the Alchemist combination.
I don't think that's an approach that Spirit should take in game two.
They should very much focus on Laurel's game, and letting him play tempo, enabling him
with resources, and giving him a good lane matchup.
But enabling him with resources earlier, as opposed to enabling him with...
There's an agonist scepter like 25 minutes into the game, now you can start playing.
We've had an average game length, I think we said of like 45 minutes?
Median game lengths is like 47 minutes.
For me it's a very interesting dynamic because this isn't like a lot of games ending around
that period.
It's half the games are 25 minutes and the other half are 90.
And I think the mistake that Mira's highlighting that I completely agree with has been you
can't just ignore the first 20 minutes.
That's why it's so hard to draft right now.
I was like I have to think about my lane matchups, but I also have to consider if the lanes are playable on both sides
How do we scale at 60 minutes in the bag? We have to consider level 25 talents
We have to consider doom with six slots like every single game
So, you know, it's an approach right you pick the void
But if you think about the before the void spirit acts comes out
How do they kill anybody primal beast can't lock on co-op you can't lock on the faces void
You're fighting 45 against the doom like you actually have no place to make and that's just something that I think team spirit
They're skipping like a six-minute window of the game and it's ruining them and I think it's something that's hard to fix
But they've done it consistently they did it yesterday against party that got exploited over our shows here
They'll do it in a different way rather than like pushing to end the game just pick a greedy lineup that
Literally I'll greet you so I'm worried for team spirit. I'm curious if they can bounce back
I that's why I like your sentiment about the idea of if I get kicked out of lane as a carry then things get very very bad for me
Faces void branches both the I'm not gonna get kicked out of lane by a primal beast
And I also give you late game insurance. Yeah, that's why I thought the pick I'm like, oh, wow
That's even better than what I thought. Yeah, that's why I liked it. So then maybe
Don't offer a first pick alchemist. Yeah, I don't think we're gonna see first pick alchemist from spirit again
It feels like Yatra wants to be playing something different. He's also a type of a carry that
Historically, he's the top network guy. He's like five ten K ahead of everybody else
and then he utilizes that network to actually get stuff that he's joining the team fights with Alchemist
It doesn't really suit his play style like you you're in the middle of the pack
And you don't feel as comfortable when you're playing, you know three four slotted Sven for example in the like jumping in with the
BKB or having someone that joins early like we're seeing a lot of carry dooms as well or with his TV with three items
As Scotty being the big timing where he joins
he's the controlling pretty much the tempo of the game and calling the shots with Alchemist,
he doesn't get to do that.
So maybe a branch of a departure for Spirit and their maybe bread and butter ideas.
We'll see if they can correct it quickly in game number two of Aurora going to get another
2-0 in this lower bracket.
Let's find out as we get ready for game number two.
Sometimes I be foolish, sometimes I know I get mad, sometimes I say the wrong thing to you that makes you feel sad.
But one thing is true in all that we've been through
You'll never stop loving me, no matter what I do
So let me say
That every day
I try to find the words from my heart to say thank you
Because you take me as I am
You take me as I am
Only me
If you stop loving me
Oh God, put your hand up
Sure, God, stop
You're not far from me
You're not far from me
But I won't take you for me
And I know, when you hold my hand
The love makes me feel that I could fly to the moon
Not even the birds of love can say that I'm sweeter to you
I needed to say that you find a way
To make me feelin' new
And I want to say thank you
Cause you take me every night
Take me every night
Take me every night
I never had I never had I never had I never had Gear for victory
I never had I never had I never had Gear for victory
applause
Hi guys, guys, with the maps of course, the game
We're gonna let you know that get outside, you're wasting your time and close the spring.
Don't watch any more of this crap!
Hey, get this guy up.
He's not a kid.
Yeah!
I found
The land of shame
Holding on for something
The winter sky is coming
We're still here
Oh, I'm still here
Yeah, I feel it all
It's something we've got
To understand
Oh, I'm still here
Yeah, I feel it all
Let's just go away, don't need a guy like me
Because I feel it all
Run, run, run
Because I feel it all
We are the same, the tones that we value, the new ourselves.
There's a cool dream, it's the air clean, last come nowhere.
Falling for shame, holding on for some band,
The news, my name's coming
We're still here
Oh, I feel the love
Yeah, I feel the love
It's something we don't need to understand
Oh, I feel the love
Yeah, I feel the love
Let's just go know we don't need to fight it
KILLS HER!
Well, maybe my theory that Aurora is only taking advantage of the team was under false pretenses.
Because Aurora's last two serious victories in this lower bracket were against teams that had to play a long series at the beginning of the day.
Tundra Woods, grueling against Extreme, and then they got 2-0'd by Aurora, and then the same thing happened to Falcons.
Long first series, then quick 2-0'd by Aurora. Seems that Aurora just quickly 2-0's everyone.
Yep, seems to be the story. Maybe I underestimated this team. I didn't get to choose in the last couple of days with the predictions,
but maybe I'm a bit biased after what happened at the Valakia Finals, where they got completely rolled over by BedBoom teams.
It's still kind of stuck in my head and they've been play some really good doughnut like they've been focusing heavily on the lane
speeding things up
Winnie picking the winning matchups on top of that and everything feels
Kind of good from the start one of the reasons why the team came transition that early game into the mid and late games
It comes out to that
but I want to see how spirits gonna respond to this because
They can be shown that they can play some really fast doughnut
They had some like really good drafts, but also I don't want to see another game
Or everything falls apart after the laning stage and that was spirit having picked priority as well this time
Aurora have priority and they go for first pick. They're gonna ban out a pango slardar and snap fire
Spirit they took out a lone druid and tiny and I don't know
What what do you need to target nightfall for anything at this point or is that a later concern?
He usually picks his hero second round. I think he the thing is you always have to factor it in though
Like yet the you're always accounting for are we giving them a good or so game?
You know when range your game or so I'd say more is about the lane when Rangers more about the scaling
I think the lesson that a war learned from the previous game was the fact that these fights go longer than one be giving usage
Team spirit kite you out kills you there
So I think that's like the aspect of these range turret heroes that are I think having mixed success
I've noticed it kind of go
Downhill ever over the course of the tournament sure
I don't remind everyone that of Royce started this tournament
Oh and three in the group stage like one and six over all games and I think it's all about I
Have such high faith in this team because I don't have I did not get skewed by watching them get handled and also
KP I actually think he's an amazing coach and I think he's
Hearing his interview gave me a boat of confidence the way that their dynamic works the way that they're helping Kory branch out his hero pool
I guess just listening to it. I had faith that over the course of this tournament and over the course of the coming months
They're going to improve in the right direction, and they're already looking solid. So I'm you know, maybe night falls gonna get his first
Don't jinx it. Yeah, I'm not
Don't jinx it yet
But if they are going to do it, I wouldn't be surprised if they do it on the shoulders of AWS Timbersaw
This man is now I would say confidently the best Timbersaw in the tournament because ATF clearly could not handle the crown
Yeah, yesterday did not look good for ATF. I want to see what the response is gonna be and
Maybe later down the line, I would say faces would but straight out of the phase
Team spirit. They're like, yeah, shit just got serious
Like we we got to do something about this because Denver saw a never single game except for that like one Falkens game yesterday
Look unstoppable you like even in the games where you get killed two three times
you're still top-network and this heroes kit is probably one of the best if you're not the best in the game right now in terms of
What the hero breaks it's like
Scaling you have damage you're the tank and you're dealing pure damage on top of that
So when it comes out to the super late game without having that second BKB being like dealt pure damage
You just doesn't feel right
Yeah, I think this here still can lose quite easily like I worried that beat ATF Simberside yesterday
just by having like a slaughter for the Damage Ab and a monkey king from mid who was everywhere.
And that takes me back to something that I was mentioning earlier. I think that the mid lane
needs to be where a lot of the focus is in these drafts. Makoto has been absolutely cooking connected
to all these fights and setting the tempo with his two supports whereas in that last game Laurel
could not could not do that. If you want to play versus this team, ask for it right now,
You need to think about how you can enable Laurel.
You can't let him get shafted.
If you let him get shafted in this game too, I don't have a lot of faith.
Yeah, I mean, I think the team spirit response to this Timbersaw is interesting,
because the reason I think ATF got obliterated yesterday
was because he was against a lone druid who effectively one of the few carries who has...
If you see the lane dynamic most of the time as a carry against Timbersaw,
he's shoving it into you and you're like playing under your tower and...
That allows for rotations, but the lone druid actually out pushes the timber saw he's pulling him underneath his own tower
We saw him get like wrapped around behind the tower. I don't think that's gonna be happening against faces void
I think faces void
Survives against timber saw quite well, but he is so what I'm thinking for a war is okay. We know we need to boot this guy out
We actually need a
Nightfall and Makoto most likely like we need these to connect
I'm looking at four positions like lion that really mitigate void survivability and
And I'm just seeing two heroes in the draft.
I already know I'm looking at like this six, seven minute window.
I did not do that on purpose.
Six or seven minute window of,
are they gonna bring four heroes to boot Yachter out of the lane?
That's gonna free up the map for WS.
I think that's gonna incredibly polarized the result of like
what the 10 to 20 minute window looks like
because if Faces Void is still occupying his lane at 10 to 12 minutes,
I'm heavily in favor of Team Spirit's portion of the game,
but I do think WS is gonna have an easier time
popping off than like what happened to ATF like they're approaching the
temper solstice very differently I think than the way that the loan drew it
exploited it yesterday
well see if they offer of that lion and you know Mira's more than happy to pick
it and like ten games this entire tournament and spirit get themselves a
not me rubik yeah very good response to rubik traditional abyssal is always
going to be good stealing any kind of spell from Timbersaw feels nice.
Chaka is going to be of course the big one allows you to get the farm and also
have pure damage against Timbersaw so you always have something to kill him.
Tandillation is also very annoying and now you have a killer combo lane again
like you can actually die in this lane like we saw in the previous one Primal
Beast with Techies. It's not a lane that like gets the damage instantly like even
If you jump in from the fog with the blast off and then follow it up by Primal Beast spells,
it's not enough to kill Facesloid from 100 to 0.
So I want to see what type of support they're going to be putting with Facesloid in this
one.
Whether they want to be going for more skirmishy or if they have something like a Lich which
gives them very good mid-team fights as soon as the Lich hits level 6, or if they want
to be going for something that's going to stabilize the lane for Facesloid.
I think something like a Lich could be nice, but any kind of magic damage from their 5 is going to be very much needed because you're not getting a lot of damage output from this Ruvik as it is right now.
The biggest mistake teams do against Pimber is they let it through and then they just don't draft enough damage.
Yeah, but then is there a support that they can pick that would also be helping a Laurel mid? You think Lich bridges the gap between lane support and Laurel assistance?
Which is an interesting one, because if you're playing with a melee hero, your
Flaw Shield plus TP in with a sinister gaze can really do a lot, but if it's a
ranged hero, he does feel less effective.
Nightfall does indeed get his Ursa banned out. Shocker that it may be signaling
that Collapse wants a melee offlaner. Knows not, narrow down the pool at all,
And Aurora will get their support duo with an Enchantress for Kaori.
Okay, we gotta keep in mind guys, this game goes to 60 minutes.
Rabble Rouser?
Yeah, he gets that.
Look at the gun.
Be careful.
He's gonna be rousing them rables.
This Enchantress is quite a scary hero, I think, for Team Spirit, just based on how the last game went.
Like, you see Lion plus Edge support.
You know, the enemies are going to run to that mid lane.
You're gonna take over your triangle early, they're gonna be diving the enemy mid laner,
and looking to take that metara that's what enchantress does she does not
she's not stationary she does not stay in the safe lane so yeah it's back to the
point of what can spirit do right now for Laurel within the draft they need a
support that can react to enchantress lives and they need to be able to get
him a good pick here the issue is they do have overall last picks they can get
maybe something favorable but everything gets banned out by them all the good
I just want to throw it out there nightfall peel
Looks really good this game from one of the three heroes I'm saying so far
I think that I was thinking that they were gonna get a nightfall hero
That's gonna boot the faces for it out
But I think enchanters actually solves that problem as Mir mentioned you get run to the mid lane
You can go through the twin gate at five minutes and then go to the mid lane like you can effectively boot both lanes out at the same time
Or like in sec succession
Once again, I'm just thinking, like, if I'm playing Nightfall here, I want to be, they're
setting it up where the other heroes are going to be aggressive around the map, and
Nightfall is going to be the one that just needs to be survivable in his own lane, and
potentially contribute to the ganks early, so I'm eyeing P.O.
The Marcy even makes me want to double down on it, but they go for the Void Spirit first.
Interesting.
Yeah, good matchup against Ian Volcker in the middle lane.
There's no damage coming out from Spirit. This is Facescroyd. Rubik has very limited damage early on.
Marcy, I assume this is gonna be a position for Marcy, something that we've seen yesterday from Paravision.
Invoker, they have a little bit of a setup for Sunstrike, but it's nothing too crazy.
This is not, you know, your Shadow Shamans on the side lanes, and I feel like if Aurora
just keeps going strong from the lanes like they did in game number one,
Deep Spirits with these heroes they might be in the same trouble because they
won't be able to punch back. I can say that but I think this Marcy is very
cool. Like this Marcy is one of the heroes that can respond to these
midline dives because with that rebound auto-cast thing you can kind of break
that line initiation right. You can move Invoker to safety but you will have to be
able to be present for Lurals and Voker. I actually think Invoker does solve for
damage versus Timbersaw and Dunch, but it'll just take a while to get there, right?
Yeah, I'm just a little worried for like, again, first 10 to 15 minutes if Aurora, if
they get too much out of the lanes, you have Enchanters, you have Lion plus Timbersaw,
these are very strong lanes, you have a winning matchup in the mid lane, and you also have
a carry.
I'm kind of downed, Brian, with your suggestion.
I'm a big DL hater for years now because the heroes just feel so shitty, but in this
I could feel it maybe sneaking in.
I'm interested that they banned the tide.
I think they wanted an off-laner on Team Spirit.
What Marcy offers you is a way to kill a chantress.
The laning phase, not many fours offer that.
So picking some super aggressive off-laner that can help burst the chantress.
I was thinking maybe they're going to give her to the Vipers type of off-laner archetype,
but I'm also eyeing potential death prophets for Team Spirit.
team spirit, I think that's a hero you have to have on your great arc, because once again
Maipol is, he's blind-picking here, he doesn't know his lane matchup, claps has whipped out
a bunch of different styles of play this tournament, they go for the initiators, which I'm thinking,
honestly these bans tell me they want to pick PL or Naga, I actually think PL and Naga are their
best options, I think Terran Blades like a distant second or third I guess, I feel like
maybe it's the bias of me as like saying like oh I want to wield this into existence but
Axe Tim Tide, I think, tell me they want those heroes, otherwise I don't see why they'd be banning them specifically.
I mean, no, it's a great call, especially versus heroes like Invoker early on, right?
The only thing is, they're still primal beasts, so if you have an illusion carry, I think Collapse is still quite happy to be primal,
but that doesn't mean that it's a bad choice.
Yeah, but you don't care. I like primal suggestion, because Enchantress in the Lane, you don't really do anything to primal
in terms of threatening him or being able to stop him from going in charging in.
So got to be careful with the last pick overall.
I think we've seen the exact same matchup.
This, okay, Naga's a bit better because you have at least Ensnare, but I don't know.
I feel like this, the AOE from Primal Beast does pretty well against Naga-San.
This is just, I don't know, like, I feel like I'm mind-melded with Nightfall right now.
I can't be, yeah.
I'm like, I want Peel or Naga.
I know that these heroes just own this game, they actually think they have a lot of damage
on Team Spirit, but it's situational damage that needs to hit you, and most of it's being
relied on by a Marci and an Invoker, and so I'm like, if I just pick a hero that's hard
to reliably deal damage to, PL is very elusive, Naga is hard to find the real one, and yeah,
you're probably going to get lane counter here, we might see a Darkseer or Underlord
or the primal beast you guys have been mentioning,
like, I think he's not gonna have the perfect lane,
but I think Enchantress is gonna alleviate that pressure.
They actually go on!
Oh, no!
Caelan cooked!
Oh, gosh!
They played Overthrow, level 25.
Level 25, I see timing.
We had an interview with Caelan,
where he was talking about it, that his coach,
I think it was Day 1 or Day 2,
where he said, you know, I don't know,
I don't know why they picked this hero,
he really did an enjoyed play.
But he won, he beat Vici Gaming with it.
He did.
any of these, that was terrible, I never want to play it again.
And look at him now.
I will, they won in spite of the else you take in that game.
Yeah.
But I mean, you do have cool synergies with the Marci,
like she can rebound you in for a duel early.
I don't know how well it'll do against Mug,
and the overall state of the game,
because if your lanes are all pushed up by Nod illusions,
how do you really go make the plays for a duel?
Like that is kind of a difficult concept.
But on lane, it should do well.
Yeah, lane, this is a lane counter for in three.
You also, we always have to keep in mind you have the Sun Strike to enable early to mid game duels.
I think Legion Commander is similar to Shaman where she's just way better with Invoker specifically.
Because that threshold of actually, you're not really dealing the damage in the early game duels.
Yeah, I mean, I once again, maybe 65-35 Aurora's draft here.
I think that the Timbersaw is not properly addressed, but I do think Team Spirit has a point in the game where they win.
So I think they're draft is better in that capacity, like even if they were to lose the lanes here,
that they can come back with a Boid and Voker always.
And I do think Legion Commander is effectively...
They drafted for the lane, which I think is...
We thought they were going to do it through Laurel, but they do it through Collapse.
Sure. So I think they have one winning lane.
I think they've factored in this weak point of their game.
Remember, go against Legion Commander.
There was one game in this tournament that I suggested it could be very good Legion game.
This could be it's a Nami.
This might be that second game that we're seeing
that the Legion Commander's gonna pop off.
You're saying this is like a time-honored Dota tradition?
Never been a Legion Commander.
Yeah, that is a weird thing.
Oh, yeah.
There's this implication that we've doubted her
time and time again.
Geez.
We've doubted her.
That game.
Collapsed himself is doubting her,
but Mira, he's finding value in potentially
an elimination game.
I'm excited to see what he does with it.
I am really concerned about Team Spirit's lane, Chef.
Like, you can't really make plays with the heroes
they have if your lanes are pushed in.
and their heroes aren't the best at dealing with it.
It's a wide mercy.
I don't know if I can,
but it really depends on him having a good start.
Kind of scary, but I'm excited.
Well then, we'll see if a spirit
can escape off elimination,
or if there's season 29 dreams.
And here, let's get into game number two
with Garrus and SPG.
The panel may laugh for decades,
Christian, the lead commander,
that affects a stone hole hiding in the shadows,
Waiting for a moment to bring it all back against these Aurora Invaders!
Legion Commander will collapse, the tell of the draft.
Anyway, does it pull the pieces together? This makes us fully focused and greedy.
They need to do the Naga answer, at least in the lane. Probably in the game, it's very hard to find that as a last pick.
So Legion, at least we'll do well in the lane matchup.
You know that going for you? There's no hard safer duel in this game.
Which is always nice knowing our playing as driver, or core, shatter game or something.
And this hero does jail off better than it used to with the late game talent, the AoE pressed the attack.
It does have some really cool stuff to do, the bonus are all around.
I kinda like the hero, I don't think it's that good of a hero, but in the right game it can pop off.
I think it's a little underrated.
That said, I think I would probably rather play a war as lineup.
This Naga pick is pretty debilitating for House Spirit, wanna play the game.
It's gonna slow everything down, it's gonna push the waves and you're not gonna be able to fight the kick-offs.
It's a very good matchup against both the Invoker and the Void for a lot of the game.
And the Ultra-Late Spirit probably wins.
Again, face's Void's just a dumb hero.
And I do wonder if this Battle Theory axe build on the Void can help deal with some of the lane shove slash Naga problems.
Yeah.
Like, I think the matchup for him is better in the man fight.
Chrono into sleep can still be an issue, but...
I think this Void plays less around Chrono than some of the previous versions.
It's more about jumping in and out, abusing the vision, abusing time dilation plus the AoE stuns,
and just farming up and scaling.
Like that last game, did Krono really matter that game out of things?
Nah.
So...
In that way, you might be able to bypass some of the Naga issues in this game.
But Aurora have a lot of lane push and a lot of speed they can play with.
They have to line pick off the Enchanters that can roam mid.
This could be another game that gets out of control if the roam into mid happens quickly and effectively
and they just debilitate the invoker in the lane and stick.
Yeah, TempoSoul, once you get into like level 3 or 4, he can self sustain, stay in that lane.
doesn't really care about having a support there, so it gives a lot of freedom to Aurora in that early portion.
And I think you're right, this chrono-canticalism isn't be all end-all of Team Spirit's teamfight,
that's like a back-pocket thing that can always threaten this Legion commander, Marci Invoker Trio,
that's been offered a lot of that mid-game potential.
I'm worried about this enchantress in this game, it's a pretty good enchantment.
We don't see this hero picked as much as we used to, just the individual hero's been nerfed,
but the concept is still there, it's a hero that abuses support duo that can't fight her on the map
against her on the limit in roaming freedom, and it's one of the strongest roamers to ever exist in the game
and it's one of the best heroes to roam against the Invoker early, and you have the Void Spirit matchup, so
we used to play a lot of this Void Spirit Enchanters against Invoker, it's super strong, you can just win the game
through this mid lane if you execute it really well.
So that's a huge pressure point here for Spirit, they have to respond to that, they have to keep tabs on where
how he is in this early game and
Make sure that Laurel has a lane. Yeah, just that he can exist in this one on one and not go on two on three
Is tower dying the code will get in her power room that type of situation is in that stuff
Matt could get really small that's what's happened
Bleed out effect in that mid lane
bottom lane gets shut down, then you've got this conjuyor for jungle,
the spirit, but to make sure that they hold out defending lanes and try and play through this Marcy
on the legion commander, who should be pretty strong up on top.
So far only one last hit for collapse.
Nice nightfall, grabs himself a second.
Trying to fight over the chip damage on a RAS early on.
At least claps will get a much better lane this time around.
That last lane did not go well for him, this one should be guaranteed.
I don't want to cast or curse or anything, but you last picked Legion and Naga.
If you're not free farming this lane, then you're probably just auto losing the game.
I already got the hard cap pulled, so I'm already off to a much better start.
Long down at bottom, Lion and Timbersaw, and the face is void, and position 5 of Rubik.
The team spirit have pulled out Titan time again, even since the day before she got in.
I just have to apply Rubik to step down and protect the face.
This is a very good Rubik game.
Lion spells, S tier, Timberslaw spells, S tier, you can often get Naga sleep in the middle of the fight.
It's not that difficult given the situation if you have a really big cast range.
And the Void tier spells are pretty good, so Rue has a lot to work with here though.
Lane might not be so easy.
And he's getting punched down. First blood for WS, the Timberslaw.
Baking up the first kill of the game as Rue just got outmaneuvered.
Didn't expect the little ring around the Rosie in the tree line while Karrory,
Sunstrike's coming in and he steps right into it.
Spiritward getting out of the executeer on these lines. They need to step it up and find some momentum here to strike back in game 2.
As I was saying, we've seen a lot more of these lines.
Yanni's pointed out yesterday more mangoes on these lines going for the hex build for the all-in kills.
Just get an early golden XP and then turn that into a faster booster stat.
It's also a big deal in this meta where every single hero has early verifiers plus thick.
Like you saw there, you hacked him at the end.
Rue, he had Fairy Fire Stick, he gets none of it all.
Because you just haul in him with the Long duration Chainstone, so I think that's also extra value on this hero.
You know, very, very Fire Heavy Meta. Some Metas...
There's none of this, like, extra Heal Boost at the end, but in this one...
There's so much Fairy Fire action you have to consider.
That's Midway.
Going very well for the Co-op, right?
Ice Boney.
Nineteen, eight.
Against the nine and four of Lull.
So those Sunstrike kills, whenever he can get them, that first one on Kaori is super vital for this bloke.
This is a white spirit, favorite matchup. He's one of the go-to's against the Voker. He definitely wins the lane early.
This is an overperformance, the Kodo just showing up here today.
But like I said, Laurel, the Voker's never really about the lane. It's about the overall game.
You defend your towers, are your other side lanes going well, are you getting Sunstrike?
That's going on, this TSS hero's almost enrolled in.
Especially we're getting experience. You just don't want to be getting solo killed or forced off the lane early
Let's fix it out
Just spend a bit more on regen to ferry into them
It's okay
As the lightfall top just continually forced to spam this mirror image to stay alive
Down a bottom lane mirror chase on the faceless void. Nice kill revenge from room top lane another girl is mindful
Actually dies there. Yeah, it just gets rebounded on
And it gets his ass beat by Marcy, 600 damage coming out.
Not me.
That's a lot.
Into the early Naga, you get the Yield Skin now.
You gotta get through a little extra of Asian, sometimes it counts.
I like this Marcy-Legion combo, it seems really good on paper.
And Legion is a hero that leaves an extra boost in a lot of areas and one of those is
off the mobility.
She likes extra damage, she likes damage follow-up on dual.
She likes other heroes to go in for a lot of time, and any extra mobility is really nice.
There's a reason we saw IO Legion at one point that was really hot, because IO fixes a lot
of those issues, right?
It gives you the extra damage, gives you the mobility, and it kind of lets you go in,
because IO makes you into the pseudo frontline thing.
So, if you're trying to replicate those a little bit here with the Marseille, it does
similar things.
You get the bodyguard, you get the rebound, you get another hero that can even go in sometimes
with you or for you.
So, I like this combination.
Even the Dispose and Decreep wave, right?
I'm gonna drag this Modus line back in.
Check this out, to do that damage.
For sure.
It's a scary combo when this Legion hits 6th.
Anybody who's standing here, you just get rebounded to all.
There's the Roman to mid, though.
Lion and Enge, but the rebound away.
Save Lull, thanks to NotMe.
And a lift back into the tower.
Cold snap, with no Sun Strike landing.
Disenchantress with a couple of fairy fires.
Healing back up, still gonna die.
Trans this.
Marcy stands there and delivers. Very fast to be there already for that and that's the power of the Marcy in this game.
Can bail out these kind of static cores on the lanes against the roam. Really important to defend bar all against those plates.
And Mira still in division.
Grays and observable would finally die and spotted on his way through as he tried to lurk around.
Going for that plate. You think maybe spirit separate and go their different ways.
the graphic for a kill but again well done by not me who now get stamped they
know Marcy is sitting here looking for the six minute rune
gonna stand on it has to grab the inverse though at least you denied up
from a code does hit the six this is where it's scary for Laurel just chillin
here you get jumped on you have a bad time but Mira on the century they
beat him in yeah that was kind of pulled by him because you got to know that
They know you have that in base.
Well worth the century drop and protects Laurel yet again.
I mean, Spirit are they're playing this to the correct concept here.
It does leave the Timbersaw alone.
The WS is a free one to one against the face of void.
Has hit level six.
Really fast.
Not the first blood got another kill free farm lane.
It's going to be a big Timbersaw.
If you have damage for him, V-jin can also sometimes be good against his hero if you have a lot of magic damage follow-up, just because the dual lock-down is such a long speculation that Timber can't do anything against.
But generally, the rest of it's all Timber favorite. So if WS gets out of control here, he's going to be a menace in this game.
That's why it's so important to collapse, get the stimulus story up a top.
Three lane for him, booted nightfall out of jungle.
WS with a stemfall by his side, pressuring a turret by the tier one.
And with a soldiering delivery, we've now got pretty much infinite damage to the stemfall
so be very careful with your positioning.
We're looking for nightfall with the dual.
I'm not going to catch up to him.
I can't dual in there though, too tanky, too far away, but they are kicking him out of
the lane.
It's pretty valuable here, they're gonna pressure the tower as this Enchantress is pressuring the safe lane.
Does kinda get defended here though, WS took a lot of tower damage and time dilation here.
And now I'm not least TPing down here.
There's a maybe with this Chrono into Sunstrike, they could...
Ah, well he's tanky as hell.
Let's kill the Enchantress, this here.
I think he already has pretty squished, but...
I'll just step away.
Again, Spearler just trying to slow the game down.
It's all they want.
Just brick by brick put up a wall here, starting to come in a little fence around this bottom tier one.
And I dodge out of the stun there, if we're not getting caught by Mira from the fog.
I mean, champ just creep drab down the tier one.
Take the Satser though, just turns around.
Start clicking the tower.
You can't chrono into a teleport on one of the other cores?
Just rebound on the lion? Why not?
Also a play.
Great to Mira. WS and Q, are you not offering enough?
Just pose back this timber.
Don't try and pray down onto the Marcy.
Killing spree for WS. Yes, but...
...we're gonna have to push.
Move your turret out lane though, defensive chrono required.
That impetus shot into willing death.
No joke, with the amount of damage they offer.
They just can't kill us here right now.
It's gonna be a timber saw game.
Double pure damage, right? This ancient timber?
It's a lot...
...for anybody to deal with down here. No one wants to go under this lane.
Not even Makoto's showing up.
Level 7, boys, pray it with...
Urn, no charges sadly for him, but he's still gonna drag the Rubik into the remnant.
Those are very far on.
Pops them both, and raindrops keeping you alive as well.
Very tanky with the effect of HP.
Honestly, it's probably for Spirit. It's played okay, it's just a very tough situation.
And it's an enchantress roam into a timber saw lane.
I don't really know what you're supposed to do about it with a Rubik.
Just let your tower fall. Like, that's the expected outcome, really.
Now it's a matter of how do you recuperate your losses?
How do you get the space to spoil the farms through jungle with a ring of health?
That is the big question here. You're gonna lose a lot of space because
once you give up one tower Enchantress just goes to the next.
That's why this pick is so nasty.
You're playing a slow lineup against basically the fastest hero in Dota.
In the very early game at least.
They're gonna try and counteract it by bringing numbers. They're gonna smoke the Legion to mid.
With the rebound these kind of plays are a lot more doable for collapse.
trying to prop up the dominoes that were starting to topple.
So with the rebounded, it's a dual sun strike.
They're going to pop out of my cover.
Very well done.
This is what the Marci can give you.
It can bring the Legion in the game a lot earlier than you expect.
And sun strike means even these full HP duels are going to convert.
So a little extra dual damage.
A sigh of relief from collapse there.
It didn't look particularly comfortable with Legion commander
and panelist saying he didn't want to play it previously.
Now showing that he can pull out some nice fight.
It's super important as well that they stop that bleeding out from the laning stage.
Get a bit of legal room, especially for Laurel in this mid lane.
Every time you kill one of these heroes, Anch, Void Spirit, Timbersaw,
stop them, you buy yourself a minute of time of farming.
You get closer to these larger items.
That's what Team Spirit are all about here in Game 2.
Drag the game late.
Mike Paul, not seeing him much for the past couple of minutes,
he has evacuated that top lane.
Just sending illusions to try and clear wave,
drag them into camps,
stop the push on his tower,
while the main hero farms jungle,
trying to knock us out and things.
We likely won't see him unless he wants to go to second item orb to build up,
and try and threaten the Void Invoker in that early midgame.
Depends how fat this Void Invoker gets relative to his timing.
He could also opt to just try and go earlier, butterfly in this game,
demand fight the void or put some threat on him, but I think Orc can build up.
Sounds decent here.
Pretty nice just to get them to still look good.
On support as well.
I think Orc can really do when you got illusions.
Orc can put on it.
Can't at least sat mid.
Trying to get into that disfiller.
I've already hit level 6.
Nice timing for him. All right, I'm in a pretty good game on this RIC 3-1. At least the spirit supports.
Have experience to play with this time around. I think there was a big issue in game one.
He just got outleveled and destroyed on the map.
12 minute rune up at top, denied by the forge spirit.
They're trying to cheekily bait the faces forward down here.
Do you damage this hammer? Even if you connect everything? I don't know.
I don't like you, dude.
Or is it close to 2000 health with 8-1 charges?
Maybe if he chakras out, you blink into the chakra blade mail and the tools are like,
I don't know.
Oh, maybe.
They give up on the play.
That's a chance.
That says, nah, I'm not sitting down wasting time anymore.
I've got to build these Naga Illusions.
We'll shut that top side.
We've got to smoke out of Aurora.
The Lion and Void Spirit.
Costume maneuvers for Spearder on the map. If the play comes through from Aurora and connects, they're not gonna have TP's to rebut it.
We're gonna find him. Oh, we can hear the time walk down the Makoto second step.
Gets across to the Void Spirit.
Onto the Spaceless Floor, eating out with a shot from damage.
They blow him up. God, it's so scary, Amish.
They can just bring to the table in a matter of seconds.
Oh, it's pretty easy.
He got the leap off, and just didn't matter.
Chases two.
Consistence.
What's up, Blaine?
Unleashed for the tower.
Lift up for the moment, and maybe a defense from Aurora?
No, they don't.
They're sending the others up here.
They're not going to bring them off.
They're sent off from the enchantress.
My coach is with a jump.
Timbers will arrive, and if they rebound out,
collapse the scape.
But Nifle's coming in with the snare from long range.
They're going to blow him up.
And Marcy is going to get taken down too.
I thought for sure he gets out of there, that's why I was hesitating ATV, but with night ball coming in, last minute net, gets the job done.
Gonna try and defend mid a little bit, they did pick up the Lion mid with the Invoker who's putting in some meteor hammer damage.
So, Laurel's, well, honestly, having a very good game here.
He's completely recovered off the early lane, hasn't been killed, he will start the scale.
And he can offer you some higher Exort points now for some meteor damage, which enables his chrono a little bit.
They're again looking towards this WS Timber, but he's out of here again.
He's just not letting any sort of game come in on him, and I'm not sure he dies in the game, but
I guess they do a stolen finger of death.
Might as well just strong read, right? He's not even getting wisdom shrine, just gonna go back into jungle.
It's a marible grab.
A shrine of wisdom.
His map reads are just so damn good.
Huh, I'll find Kaur again.
I'm gonna drop this on strike, stolen finger.
That'll do it.
Damage.
Tons of nuke power.
She's a gap.
There's Invoker at every level he gets, every minute of time that passes, gets him into
this mid game.
And we've seen...
Lull, BZM.
It'll be very annoying with Ghostwalk, Splitpush, the lane shove that you can offer.
Because you have to come back and chase it.
It's going to get away with free space on the map.
Now we're going to see just how strong this Invoker Void combo is against the Naga.
Naga used to be one of these heroes that could wiggle out of this matchup nowadays.
I'm not as convinced. I think the newer void build and how a voker can push lanes and just offer so much aoe magic
Nogget just doesn't scale as well. She used to either
I think you want to you want to get more done here if you're Aurora.
I'll rebound to try and get a bit of distance
Press the attack not enough miss
WS Timbersaw
Splines is right through any hero that shows on the map.
5-0 start for him
This is a hero we've seen dominate all the way through this lower bracket game after game
Very strong even when behind and now he's ahead. It's even scarier
Not even lost tornado protects Rue on the way out there. So killing spree going back across the curie
How's my fault ready to join the game will be going that orchid?
But even before that timing
Bring the main hero mid has long hasn't snare
Rebound in from not me. What's him in an awkward position here?
Yeah, he's demolished as Makoto gets onto the invoker now, trapping him, dying and killing.
Three in a row off the back of that Rubik kill, now let's see what tower.
Ah, the Pacers picked up so quickly from Aurora.
Spirit not ready to defend this position. They had Yatoro there, they're kind of trying to bait Aurora
and go for a big chrono and then Voker delivers the damage.
But he just gets jumped too early, not me, with a little bit of an overreach.
reach and the Legion was flying out the blink not ready to join this kind of fight.
I think you just did not expect everybody to be there on that high ground.
Legitimate everybody, all flying plus illusions.
Look at this diving the tier 3 almost.
I was rude dad by his staircase.
No escaping here.
His team spirit get a hem back into their base.
They're scrambling.
Feel the pressure.
So they've got tools, it's just the inability to use them right now.
A chrono, a duel, a sun strike.
They can offer damage and get individual pick-offs on the map, but when it's two Rams butting heads
I know who I'm backing on it's a royal of this timber saw only found a connection
They do want to this boy spirit with a son's strike. They've got what it takes did not win the duel though
Which kind of sucks here you really want to get this extra scaling, but still you'll take that. It's a huge kill
Just use some space in this game
Take him on back for 20 seconds, 20 seconds where you can breathe.
Get your head above water or spirit.
It's the past five minutes they've really been drowning.
That series has been all over so far.
Just in terms of the field again, you can feel it's blowing better for them.
The moves are connecting. They're dodging the games.
Even the stuff that hasn't worked, like the early enchants from the mid,
from the mid, yeah they didn't get the destruction on that mid lane against
the Bokker they wanted, but they didn't over force it, they didn't just bang their
heads against the brick wall, they played through the game, gonna get a
D-word on that triangle now, move back in to take farm away from the void, look
towards his last tier one and probably kill not me again, it was just been hounded.
It's serious. It's like where else can he be though, right? Like the fact that Enchantress and
these heroes have pushed bottom, mid tier one, dive to tier two, the map gets
small for team spirit. It's really small. Like, Spaceous Void is farming two or three camps on the left-hand side. Invoke is farming two or three camps on the
southern side, maybe a wave here and there. So, it's down to the Marci and Rubik to push waves.
I guess I'll get emotions. It's so nasty. Nightfall gonna go head on into an unleashed Marci.
Well, just a tornado. Trying to go for this solo kill, but there's cavalry coming in. The bronze
He's leaving as a riot, but the dual blade mail's right on the darkest fire and just looks very needed.
I kept gnapple if they get him there.
So low on the Marci, but at least Makoto will come in and get collapsed.
You want swipes?
Or maybe not, this heal. Hang on a second.
He's walking it off.
Yes, with a tree light and blinks away!
Makoto can't finish it.
The Void in the mid lane though.
Looking at multiple fights at the same time, so in the end, it's carry for carry.
Maybe the bigger kill and all that is the faces for you.
The turtle's starting to fall behind, he just doesn't have the space to fall.
Really happy to get the Naga there, even happier to get your Legion out.
But are you getting map control?
No.
The map is still shrinking, that's the scary part.
And your timber is 12,000 net worth.
He's so fat, dude, he already has 2700 HP.
And that diving is too top lane.
Onto the invoker, no protection, they've got just the sea through the ghost wall.
Not me and Rue trying to provide a line of defense here as they jump back onto the lion.
Kiori, that's fallen timber chain doing some damage back on the edge, but they've got what it takes to bring down not-may-
The duel into this Makoto Void Spirit healed by Lotus!
They can't finish it off, it's the WS show!
Timbers 4 is god-like!
Going for more! Diving under Tier 2 onto Rue.
He's invincible.
320 minutes.
That's gonna be a triple kill for him.
Shaced forward, Makoto feels it.
That belonged to Timber for sure, but that's what?
Four heroes down for two supports?
Spirit bleeding out as the lead is built up to 9k now for Aurora.
He already has BKB done. I don't know what you are supposed to do to this man on this hero.
I think it's just those two rates that's in before. It's bowed down, yes sir.
You're gonna have to pretty much ignore and indulge the rest of this game until the Ultra League.
You don't have good options to do anything to this guy.
It's a nice little jump on that line, but it's just too easy for WS.
They're bringing the control of the voice spirit.
And this duel, even without the Lotus or the Heal Play, I don't know if it's ever going to be enough.
He just don't want to double two duels too. The way the damage scales on his spell now. These level one duels just don't count for that much.
Face is on four heads.
That's been that kind of series.
Hands on four heads.
We also-
Four heads on your face.
Haven't seen a coordinated fight from him.
It's been very disjointed because of Aurora forcing the issue, making these fights awkward.
And now they can just throw the timber in first if they really want to.
What are you going to do? This guy has 3000 HP with BGB and he bought a blink.
And then Loll is showing on that bottom wave they saw the ghost wall.
I'm pretty sure they know with the flurry of things out from nightfall.
So it jumped in.
I think I'm going to miss the meal.
And he reveals sentry down this floor. I'm on the way out.
Wait.
He just now skips away.
He is incredibly lucky to get out of there.
There's just trying to abuse this ghost walk steering signal, which is pretty stupid it procs up this but
Maybe it doesn't
No, that's proper. There's a lot of damage isn't it? Yeah, it does procs sometimes
Try make a coordinated move down here
Dual blade mail
Tempestal with Meeple, Sunslide, the damage is tons, but the BKB comes off and WS always still alive.
They didn't have enough.
And now the turnaround play.
They lift the Void Spirit, Tornado went back.
So at least they'll disengage and survive.
Oh no, a real massive red flag there for Spirit.
He lives because he's on strength runs.
And just has so much early HP.
They needed the Void there. They literally needed five heroes.
That's just a... mental loss.
Yeah, you're thinking, well shit, what are we supposed to do?
No, I want him.
Yep, and we instantly see Laurel, he dies.
He's like, alright, we are gonna need a fast cataclysm in this game to bring these heroes down.
They did get level 4 Earth Spike on Rubik.
It's a big steal here for one of the bigger ones he can get in this relief.
Just for extra damage, shades done, local down spell.
But man, the whole time you're just trying to deal with this stupid Timbersaw?
There's an agate in this game.
Getting fat. Going into heart.
It's gonna be another tanky hero to bring down.
And your faceless void-alleged commander?
Sub-10k Network. Always trying to catch up.
And on the map, when you push out of these lanes, it's your pick up after pick up.
Timbersaw will be on Godlight. Finds the slice on the route.
There's a bit of space for your tour when it collapses up top to try and get something
going.
Get a map space, get that corner of the map, try and protect things.
You just know they're going to be losing out on tour, can't really get towards Roshan.
Super line on any of these smoke ganks to pay off.
Tier 2 is getting pushed in.
So tough to get the lanes out against this line-up.
And I will stay 50 back on his side of the map.
All right.
Allusions.
Such a free game for him.
And again, who do you see on the map?
It's just a pincer saw in your face.
We've seen how that's gone.
Exactly.
And it's got a plate mail now.
Good luck.
Where are they going? Up top?
They need to get some duals going.
What's that?
Some way to chain these kills together and then Chandra's might show top.
Yeah, they'll take him if they see him here.
Glimpse him, then Naga's keeping him.
An immediate pivot from this Marcian Legion.
For now, Naga Illusion's gonna show and Chandra's creep just goes pushes this wave while
Kari sits by the tier 2 tower.
And then Baltimore lane, that's where the real pain is gonna start hitting.
Voids for a dive through the tier 2 with a finger of death they've blown up.
Oh, Mark just Rubik! Collapse keep you didn't here to try and help them!
The Timberthor says thanks for the freebie!
The hypnotize hit him, cause the Rubik dies so fast!
He just gets melted by Timber!
Oh, jeez!
No chance to play male, play nothing!
Alright, disastrous for spirit.
They'll lose this bottom tower.
Top lane, Mars is getting chased.
As we see this back,
finger death kill off the rubik and you're right hypnotize the legion
just nothing off it's all in on this info cracks Laurel does finish it you have
cataclysm available you are gonna have to make use out of it
Don't need a big payoff.
His ghost walked up at top.
But you're Taro.
I'm not putting up a position here to go make moves.
Just to keep farming.
Needs to scale up.
Shiva's done.
Dude, he's just too big, man.
750 GPM.
12 in OWS.
After those, like, five games in a row, we saw him win.
we were thinking we never could see this hero in this tournament. Team Spirit taking the risk to
allow Aurora to have this first pick Timbersoul. The trade was the face of void so you know
since the start of this game the indication was we want to go late, we want to scale.
Laning phase obviously broke down far too quickly. 16k down hasn't given them a chance to really
punch back. But every three parts of the minute, I don't know, but a copium for Team Spirit,
But a catch here on the Legion Commander, Makoto going for it alongside Mira.
Blade Mail do all that, gets a victory, collapse days are live. That's something to go for that for them.
Lall and not me, they're back on this voidspray with the unleashing of the damage they disposed him back into his room and another kill goes their way.
WS though, the Timberstore has arrived with Kaori.
Get vision down and see the rubik escaping.
Lift him back as WS tries to chase forward with a chakram thrown in, not quite enough to catch them.
Great kills for Spirit down here in the corner of the map.
botched gank for Aurora gets turned around with numbers advantage and
able to get that big void spirit
Keep everybody alive a lot of gold for this Invoker starting to scale up here
You also get a dual win with the level 2 dual. So just doubled your total dual damage in this game
Spirit like okay two kills. They've got Aegis, but it's come back time
They can absolutely always win this game if they can manage to turn some teamfights like they do have the
Ultra ultimate scale on their side, you know
It might take a long time to get there, and I'm not saying it's guaranteed by it means it's a very slight advantage
But I'd give him a very slight advantage
Just cuz again, I don't think Naga is Naga is not like
The scariest the late game here. She hits her four or five six item slot
You're trying to win the game in there and once the game starts going 60 70 80 minutes
She often cannot just go in the fight and take man fights against almost anybody
She falls off in that sense and it can become hard to kind of push through those ultralight games
So you're not on a timer here if you're Aurora
But you don't want to lose one or two fights in this mid game and let's spear back in this one
It could get very weird for you. So you got to keep up the advantage
Keep playing through this timber saw strength. You gave WSBA just here for a reason put him on the frontline
Do not give spirit other options in this game. Make them fight through the timber
Because BKBs will come out here. This will be a triple BKB line-up for Spirit, and at that point you, even if you have a big lead, a lot of that
is not so effective. You're gonna ignore a lot of the spell damage coming out from the Void Spirit and the Timbersaw,
and that gives you a lot more time in the fight to focus the target you want.
It'll shift more of the damage priority to the Nightfall having to come in and actually fight these heroes to get a good song off.
Again, there's nothing that really stops BKB duel in this game with Cataclysm on top.
You're gonna have to get hay on this
Wind Waker or
I guess maybe you can sleep with shard and heal the guy up a little bit those are your options possible
There's also this weird thing with
The small of the map gets the easier it is for spirit to find those moments and have the battle beyond a staircase in one of these choke points
If you don't have this wide open map where Aurora can just run different angles find openings
Defending a high grounder spirit is very strong.
For this one, Rush move out of the dire side.
Another attempted pick off here.
Canterpill is going to come in, the two man's done.
He tried to hold them back.
The timber score with the back stab.
Going to find the Marcy.
Collapse.
Finger of death.
Got his final touch.
Well, it got the Enchantress.
Yeah, it did win the duel.
Is that worth it?
Probably not, but you're a duel dainter,
so you feel less bad about it, I guess.
I'm going for a bit of sneaky action on that right hand side.
Oh, that's value.
Because the wisdom shrine might be also going clear away, but behind, there are enough yatoro.
This is for the time of fact already, though.
No commitment from Aurora.
They're still stuck on that.
Right in the ancient area.
Controlling two waves at the same time.
There's no tier two top, so it's really just looking at that mid-objective.
I'm going to take this off.
It's been minutes left on Aegis.
Plenty of time here for WS to vacuum up the rest of this map.
You take your farm away from the faces below you at the same time as cantering up yourself.
He's almost doubling the region.
Oh god, yeah, you're right.
You get two off-laners for the price of one.
Aurora, eyeing up your Toro. He's a little tanky.
Even this Nagasara is like 40% ahead of the void.
Jump in onto Marci.
The counter-fines, the opening.
Zara was there, waiting in the trees.
Thinking to have a chrono here, but he just doesn't.
Not even attempting to find a way to jump in and reverse.
There's BKBs coming out as Butterfly comes out for a nightfall, so...
...Stew makes the most of their item timing here.
I mean, here, Raps has gone in, BKB dual, Cataclysm comes, they'll blow up Kaori, yet again a victory for the Legion, while WS, he's found Ruu, Yattaro, another support kill for him.
What a courier too, I mean, this is not the worst outcome for spirits, they can get everybody out of this.
Well, it's been found, oh boy, in the Volcker, thought he was safe under the Ghost War, so not just the ports for support,
Yeah, the gem.
Invoker dies as well, Yatora forced back to high ground.
Who's Jim? Who's Jim with him?
It's McCurray's now, that's for sure.
I think it was Aurora's?
And then...
And Laurel had it.
Yeah, maybe it wasn't Kaori.
Hand it over now.
I hate that it doesn't show you, boss.
Not anymore, yeah.
It's not a good idea.
Yeah, it was such a useful tool.
Until I was sure, I'd assume it was Kaori's.
It's been handed back over.
Oh, McCurray keeps it.
I don't like they want to leave it right now anyway, you know, BKBs, but the situation
is getting a little dire here. At least Aegis expires for them. However, he kind of needed
the slot, because that's how rich WS is.
Smoke breaks, DERROLL JUMPS IN BY WS!
Does he really want to duel that?
I don't know, son!
Ah, he pops the BKB and played male, thought about it for a moment. Doesn't go for it wisely
while Nightfall, he's got the opening on the Marcy. Not me trying to do what he can, while
your Toro gets stunned, pots him, duel him and lie in the corner, or the lamp will whiff
from lalas the win is there for lion avoid we'll get the kill now a chrono comes in
cataclysm damage on the enchantress as well she's healing up inside the chrono though too tanky
to contend with and now ws just free reign to open up and do what he wants they buy back marci
but a timber running ramping over the top of you i have surrounded him a buyback on rubik
can you deal with this ws timber they'll try to get the numbers in but the coda comes back
with the help this ws timber cannot be dealt with finally they get the kill he's gone for
90 seconds they took everything they had now on the Naga siren team spirit outside their base getting it done
Defending with all they've got the menaga falls all your turn over the faceless void the real carry and they wipe Aurora
Team spirit magic baiting Aurora in they were not there at the same time. They knew the Naga siren was top
Honestly ends up being a big play from not me. He beats nightfall for the kill
It brings off by a night fall out of the fight
He has buyback to rejoin this by bottom gives up his life twice
But they get a massive team fight when including that jam the big streak on the Timbersaw
That was a lot of gold and also the spell cask in here wasn't that great
They fucked their own tool the Chrono was nice, but they didn't have damage for Makoto
He lives through it now the fascist
Yatora has to chase him and then has to give up on the chase
And then you're left dealing with this massive timbersaw in the middle of everybody with no duel, no chrono
You got to do it the old-fashioned way. You get a really nice bash on that tip or chain, that helps.
Alacrity does a lot of work here, and you know, Toro just...
He does what he does, man. He plays these fights to the absolute limit.
The light BKBs?
Holding them until the bitter end of hammer and chisel, whacking away at them.
It's super important that he holds BKB and then the man to here.
Oh.
On point, and this is the Naga issue. Naga is not good in these fanfights.
Ha ha ha ha!
Spirit with a huge sigh of relief, a huge winner. Even gonna get Tormentor off that.
So they're gonna get another shard into the Legion too.
I tell you now they've got away with murder there.
All down to numbers advantage.
And that's Aurora trying a 3v5.
Coming in one by one.
They have to respect the scale here.
The Void with the Lackery Cataclysm on top is scary because they have no saves.
They didn't itemize port either.
There's no early A on this here. It's all offense, all gas.
And now you listen to that strong voice in your tower and say,
let's go for things. I've got Chrono up again.
WS, you just gotta jump away.
I really wonder if you would have Chronoed in there.
I think you would have, you know.
How confident are you in your burst damage when you have a free go like that?
Still got a hunt gear with the Legion, just running in looking for Nightfall.
My lines are still...
The jump in. Force BKB. Nightfall, dual duck. Cataclysm coming. The damage on Mars is enough to kill her.
Have they got what it takes for the Chrono onto the timber and this Naga Siren?
Yotaro's cleaving, bashing, trying to finish them off. The damage looks good, and he keeps catching up the dust on the bomb!
Nap time for Team Spirit. Knife falls, and absolutely not.
Let's kill for a moment now. They missed the Earth Spike, though.
Yotaro turns. He's able to keep going. They lost three, but the face is void.
He timewalks away, survives momentarily, chasing him down with an old kid now that he's got no PKB or Magistar on the faceless void is gonna get lifted back up and saved, maybe for the distance, but WS of course he's there!
They are so damn tanky.
You get him clumped in the chrono, but Nightfall he has so much evasion you can't hit him with the void, you have no MKB.
And then you try and deal with this timber, he's got 4000 HP.
And then this one comes out and just ruins your day
But have different things all and Aurora have five together holding hands singing in unison and with a Naga gets to have high impact
As a first target, it's not great because she's just all tank butterfly hard. She doesn't really do that much damage
But if you try and go on her with a dual
You're never winning a duel. I don't think you can ever kill him in it
With all the illusions on top of it
And you went all in buying out all your items for this.
So this means Aurora knowing lack of buybacks.
The team spirit means building spawning.
Not just one, but two lanes of barracks.
As Nagasparan swings into mid.
Who cares ranged racks, go for the melee.
Not much you can do but watch here.
They get the spawning impale again, it's pretty nice.
You will actually have chrono when you respawn because it was that arcane run.
But that majority done, they've been hit or missed, and yeah, grasses are gone here.
Ah, this Nagasar in Evasion is just so debilitating.
You can't put feel like a spirit or one item higher in this game.
Oh, how dare you kill my Korea.
Oh, goodbye.
Sing the song.
Come on, let's give it a low dissolve.
No chat.
Naga gets up to 55% evasion with all the illusions on top.
Jeez.
Bastard business.
We're now looking at one lane remaining in that bottom side.
That smoke from Aurora.
They sense blood in the water.
They know they could try and finish this one off.
WS smoke breaks on the face of Floyd.
Spirit's just trying to fight under the ward because they don't want to concede Roshan here,
but it's very hard to go in blind.
That's where Naga comes into play. Illusions cutting, hidden top waves.
Inimpossible Roche to be test-relief against this Naga-star. You just hit enchantress on the front too.
There's an A on disc on the fade from the void spirit, so he's not a great jump target.
You got almost half the hole in WS. And that is a tough proposition.
Playing Sunstruck the Roast Peer.
So they're going to try and clip someone on the way out?
They're still not dead yet.
But they've now got Makoto holding an Amplified Damage Rune.
Yataro playing in and out.
We have a reverse time walk.
Hey, just follow it up for her, not me to spawn.
Wait, it just doesn't look contestable.
I don't know how you get through all this gunk and find a good target.
Thanks for the call.
Can't wait to fight the Forged Spear here.
The Spalling Forged Spear?
Thinks Abyss has 14 under HP.
13 armor.
It's four spirits stronger than the Marci, although insane 160 damage per click. Yeah, I just stand there as a turret
You have bonus tower
My way to spirit to get in so it's back to dealing with waves. Think about defending your tier three the high ground
Consider buybacks in the situation you're in. It can play for the high ground defense
It is an annoying high ground for a roar straight up in some sense, but with ages
I don't need one buyback on Larl.
Might have to use him as a bait, but Rue is out here, Rue bit dying, a minute and a half.
That's a long death timer.
You really need him in the fight too.
4v6.
This game rests firmly on the shoulders of Larl and Yotaro.
Chrono and Cataclysm.
A Roshan fan I can't be dealt with though.
So creeps come high ground with a tier 3, looking worse for where.
Face is void.
Reflexion snare back on the naga.
Jump in from collapse.
There's the meteor landing on K-O-R-E, sniping out Enchantress.
I get the face is void out of danger mid as well as he turns back onto WS.
Chasing the Legion, though, Makoto, alongside the Timbersaw.
I explain the Legion who does not have buy back.
It's not good enough to do an Enchantress with buy here.
My boss is taking a base.
Hat build is crumbling. Aurora shaking the foundations of Team Spirits.
Base system draft. Play everything crumbling around them now as mega creeps will start emerging.
Lulling viz.
Looking at these tier 4s and thinking how can I possibly defend them against Mikozo with the side device.
They're gonna get the jump back and protect with the chrono landing of the meatballs coming in.
Naga-Starr and Timbersaw inside and burning, WS got the BKB out, he's gonna try and shiver them, jump away, but the Timbers down!
Naga will respawn, but it hypnotize the Void.
Mantis gets to a bit of distance, separates from Aurora.
The dual back in onto the line now, the Sun of the Star and stops in its tracks.
Time to TP out, Aurora got what they came for, and now it's just a matter of buying time for Timbersaw to respawn.
Just no way to catch anything else here.
Nice attempt by Lull.
Again, not the worst fight from Spirit, but they're just so far behind.
There's so much map pressure, so much objective pressure.
It takes a five-act from Collapse.
He does one of those duels, but, again, killing Enchantress is just not changing the fight.
It needs to be the big-core targets going down first, with that ages too many lives to get
through.
So a mega situation, though the game does not end here, and you're gonna line up, they
can fight back.
And now we're fresher on this Invoker for next flight.
This is about as good as you can get.
You bait him on Invoker, you bail him out, and then you can chrono with the formation
set up so large to pump out the damage.
This is the exact type of setup you're looking for, Lackardy Invoker going to work, there's
no status to this chrono.
We can see like 13th flight is strong when they can put it all together.
It's just Aurora have been forcing the issue, attacking from multiple angles, putting these
super intolerable frontliners in front of their base.
The big red reset button.
Of course, yeah, you're always getting out of here.
The ultimate nightfall, the PKB Naga Sleuthi.
Undefeatable thing.
He has leveled up his maneuver.
What's going on over here?
What's going on over here?
The defensive PKB pops the Undis.
Taro getting hexed, there's Mira.
He's going to join in.
Who's going forward?
There's a rebound forward by not me.
If Taro just flashes a line,
he's trying to dish down to the wall,
refreshes up, but there's a hex right back on the invoker
to take him down 95 seconds without him and after a time walk and beacon you ready holding
it for as long as possible while the back line is annihilated.
And Vokunov by Marci does have, while Aurora back to five alive with a lion by back.
They like people to end here with no Laurel.
It feels like he has the entirety of spirits lined up.
Sound.
The sound of Laurel in the grave screaming as he died in that fight.
I don't have by back guys!
He's trying to naga siren. It's long in real life.
He's gone here.
Final move here from Aurora. They do have MKB on Void. You can deal with the evasion.
You have no meatball or cataclysm.
Seems really difficult without the invoker.
And what welcoming state like we steal chakram, finger of death, even that seems like it's never enough.
We need to steal black hole in this game.
That sounds great!
See if you can find it anywhere.
Go to the shopkeepers, see if you can spend 10 grand on a new spell.
Let me redraft my hero, please.
I gotta jump onto this void.
Lift it up and stave with the press of the attack, he jumps back in.
And says, go on.
Have another crack at me.
The mega creeps are pretty difficult to contend with though.
And I'll jump again with another side device.
Damage to blow him up.
Stave this time, getting back towards fountain, barely alive with the lift of the PKB.
Do all of the front lines though.
Keori survives it.
Drakes free of collapse as Rue is shredded by the Timberstraw, falls to my back.
Spirit, 4v5 as they watch their tearforce collapse.
They have to stall for Invoker. Can't pull the trigger until he's up.
And they hypnotize his void. Another slice of voice.
The protection here is beautiful from Spirit to keep the aftero alive and allow him to make these further jumps in.
The throne is exposed though, out in the open, a nightfall, a pure focus.
They carry flag going for the buildings. They'll need the cronor to stop him.
By time for this Invoker to align in 10 seconds,
they're going onto the line in the back.
Makoto's here to protect those.
And now, full BKBs and runs,
swung over to the left!
Stornek and Justin, a nick of time!
They're gonna get the line though with this Marci.
Maybe, no, not even that!
Team Spirit will chase Nightfall, but he's still alive.
They lose their Lion,
but they've got so much left to attack now,
as Timbersaw with Makoto,
back towards Gichirou,
forcing him into fountain.
This Lall Invoker has respawned,
though and the throne didn't fall.
Maybe they hold here?
Another jump from WS.
Tryna shut it down.
They know they're so close to victory and you're out of time,
but he's got buyback now.
How the hell did he get buy?
Another duel.
Onto knife falls, Naga's firing.
A jump with his agonist void.
The damage looks good.
They get the kill, but another buyback out of Naga.
Yachtaro, everything on his plate.
He's hungry.
Needs to clear them out.
That's what I thought.
Getting pretty low.
WS, he's falling.
The void is going for it.
The Naga can't finish the job! She's all alone now! No way to revive back and die back on Nightfall!
Oh my god!
What? How do they have buys? I don't understand.
Infinite heroes for Team Spirit! Just coming back one by one as a Rora piecemeal!
Individual heroes just feeding away!
They got 20,000 experience out of that. They won the Gold Exchange even with the buys.
What?!
Four buybacks and they won the gold exchange because these kills are worth so damn much a dieback for nightfall
You can't really all in throne with Naga. It's just not the hero to do it. You had to take the fight
Well, he tried he tried, but you just don't do that much building damage
Dear Lord the DPS coming out from this void when he gets a Lackardy and they have the full combo together
How do they hold there?
Insanity an absolute mystery of man this game will continue
And now he's always like thinking, what do I need to carry this game? Do I need divine? Do I need more damage butterfly? Do I need refresher for double chrono?
I can't believe they even bought time for Invoker's Respawn! I thought he would be over before that! Point anyway!
As chrono, he's chrono without BKB, he can't just hit their nightfall, otherwise I think he kills it.
This MKB changed this matchup a lot in this game, if only he'd had it sooner. Somehow nightfall lives before that duel comes out.
They didn't even have dual couldn't get the right click in and at this point you're thinking okay
You just reset your chill you go back in right?
Lawl ends up picking up buyback in this fight off of some of the kills thrown in yatoro, I believe
They're just able to bail them out so many times this lineup has so many saves for the the void the rubik lip the presti attack
The disarm tornado from the invoker the remount of Marcy you can always bail this void out
This was a great duel. You're not going to win it here, but it sets up a lot of damage from the faces wood going in
I start some all in dog wild to try protect the Naga star and that means faces boy gets the bashes and cleaves a
brutal fight
You're still got the content of mega creeps
Game is still really hard, but there is a glimmer of opium at the end
You know you go ultra late with this lineup at some point. We're seeing it that Naga can't
Yeah.
The Naga cannot push this game over the finish line, you know, just heads-up play.
That's somehow not a single wrinkle on that forehead.
Well, your Toro's in his element.
This is an average pub on Wednesday for him.
He's just chilling.
Super smooth.
He's just queued into a US West, a Europe West pub, and he's like...
US West?
He's like, like, US West pub.
1v9.
If they win this game, it'll look like it.
You know, you have that off-lane legion.
You're like, why is my off-player picking legion?
It's just stupid well I don't sound the game anymore. What's going on here? We got to do it. You got to do it doesn't act now
So you guys hey a repressed the attack which is super nice in this game
It's still so far from level 25 though John collapse
That is a big talent and you can start getting some changes off
And you do have a refresher on the baseless void now
So you're missing the buybacks. We'll see if Aurora trying to use this, but you have double chrono
double Invoker kid
You have the backtrack chance
You have radio deafening blast you've kind of got to the ult for late on this combo
Yeah, but you're missing the buybacks in this base defense situation. That is a huge deal
Except the rubik now as well with stolen chakram. Maybe he can pull something out of the bag
We've seen that the save from team spirit off spectacular. Oh you bound the press the attack four steps lift up
It's really nice here with the void because then you can just go in start messing get time dilations off get these eggs jumps off
He doesn't have to worry about popping BKB early in the fight.
This gives Yatoro a lot of freedom.
I don't know.
I have a 2 buybacks.
Honestly, this fight, this straight up fight, does not look that easy for a war, if they just charge it.
They have to find smart angles, really abuse either buybacks or the power of the Stimper Saw,
maybe get more defensive items, more A on disc, or Wind Waker type situations to bail each other out.
You're strong and hit thrown with a refresh the Nagya.
I just don't think it's fast enough. There's a glyph available too in this game.
He's got to kill these heroes without buy. That's what it's about.
They don't have a lot of direct disable. They have the line, of course, and they have the hex on the timber, but that's kind of it.
All the rest is just kind of soft, dispellable, disabled.
Once again, they've pushed all lanes in.
Smoke into smoke. This might be it. The character starts with a jump on the faceless void when they've got rebound to get him behind thrown.
The skeleton arnie is arriving as well. That rally. No joke when they get these. I'll get illusions of all the summons in.
This one makes a jump on large, trying to force a reaction out of spirit.
Aroshan's Banner here as well, he'll be protected by Nightfall as they send the Darktroll Summoner to get in a little bit of damage.
They jump from Jewel, Kaori, Enchantress, down to half HP.
Stroking a little bit to finish him off, but it looks like Aurora is allowing him to die and then buy back,
because Nightfall is getting ship damage on the Throne. They've got a hex on this Marci.
He'll back up though and breaks free until that second he's done a ride.
There's the Chrono.
Chrono down the line, focusing down Mira, blow him up with no buy back.
Naga's fire and half health as well.
The damage hasn't been done to the Throne and the Naga's first life is already gone.
Second Throne is in the back!
They found this void spray but the hex is there, stomping the Toro getting damage into Makoto.
And they're gonna disimulate him off.
And W-
We got him!
With the song of the Siren we come back in, but they've got Makoto down!
Forced to fight back!
Throne is still alive!
Yet Toro and Lars still go in for it!
Giving it to him!
Not forced to fight back!
So many ways to save them!
The bash is the cleave!
The damage of the Naga takes them down again!
Yatoro's on Makoto now!
Void Spirit has to run away!
WS bring it low, but they're gonna jump on the face of-
Yatoro?
Yatoro's dying!
He's low!
The time walk away!
Back towards the throne!
Defend your base with all you've got!
No way he lives!
And now the Stuller's doctrine!
Good damage to force the Roars to reset!
The call has to be made!
They gotta run!
They have to get help!
This did not go well!
They're always here!
Collapse gets his man!
Locks the Timber Store in place!
They just need a bit more damage and that's what Yatoro brings!
So in Chakram, Rudewee, so much work. Nobody checked this Rubik. He has impaled Chakram. He's just agg's impaling him the whole fight.
Same spirit!
Disgusting holds from them. Where's the lead, Gary? It's gone! Where's the lead in this game? They didn't use a single buy!
All of their buys are gonna come off cooldown.
It was a triple buyback from Aurora that failed to end the game, including the ages to die back on the Naga.
They're favored. I think they're literally just straight favor now because when you fail these endgame pushes
You itemize for it. You commit to it. You're on a little bit of a timer with this Naga
And now you're disadvantaged in terms of buybacks
20 seconds without life fold. They just cannot kill your Toro
There's too many phases game too many press the attack rubic lifts stolen in pale stunning everybody tornadoes disarms
The impetus projectile is getting slowed, lets him get time walks off, he gets backtracked
procs.
First take, faceless blade.
Now he's doing it, he is delivering.
Hey man, are they glad that he wants this battle fairy axe build because the amount
of units surrounding their throne, at least he can clear through them.
I mean he's doing a lot of damage off the cleaves off of all these procs.
Yeah!
Like it has though.
And Sanice, and you're right. Three buybacks ready again for Spirit. They'll have a fourth
in five seconds as Invoker's about to get his. I think they're favored at this point
in the game, even with the Megas, because what can you change about these fights if
you're a Roy? You're gonna have to now pick up the farm again and try and go into either
more disable for the void or more save for the chrono, so it's either Wind Wakers or
Hexes or something like this, but it's very hard to increase your DPS in this lineup, right?
You're pretty much maximized on the DPS because the timbers, he's kidded, he's been kidded for a while.
The Naga's, as kidded as the Naga can be, this hero just doesn't scale up anymore.
The Void Spirit's the one question mark, maybe Makoto can...
You know, get to like, Scotty plus a Hex or something?
And he feels like he's even got the Hex, right?
Tato is divine, I don't know.
You're angbord of Witchblade, you're lion's going for survivability with Ghost.
Ethel ends to keep distance.
But there's so many of these fights, they just need one more stun on this Void to kill him!
And the Rubik's a big problem.
Like this Ag's Rubik just sitting in a base defense situation.
He's next to sitting in the fountain.
Straight up, Krona!
Oh boy.
Double Catholicism to blow up WS!
They have the damage now.
Especially with...
These Rubik's spells are so damn good.
We talked about it's a great Rubik game.
We're seeing these level 25 hits.
That spell lamp now too.
But the stolen spells.
Oh, baby!
He is cookie.
He's absolutely cooking.
I don't know what you're supposed to do about it.
Like, there's no way you can go in this fight.
Be like, hey, let's kill Rubik first, guys.
Line's gonna die. Straight up, Linkdual. Legion commander follows a win.
He's 25 now too.
That's sick.
He has dual refresh, which is big when you have this axe, because when you win a dual, you get an AOE-Pressly attack.
And then you get dual again, and you get another AOE-Pressly attack. He took the talent for the byway.
Each of these Pressly attacks is healing for 100 HP regen. It's a 500 heal.
Not gonna lose it, it's just me. It wasn't at this point.
I'm done. They're straight favored at this point. Like, this is now Spirit's game to lose.
They went to the ultra late with an ultra late keep line.
They have five buybacks available.
They have double chrono, double invoker kit,
level 25s across all three cores.
Those two base holds killed Aurora's window
to win this game.
And now they are on the defensive.
I have a 60 minute window here with no line at all.
60 seconds.
60 minute.
I'm about to hit 60 minutes.
Roshan one minute away.
And now they just play out the lanes, keep these creeps away from the base.
Re-rushes towards the throne, failing for Aurora and now they're on their full backfoot.
Tier 2 tower's falling.
Look for another lane of Barracks as Team Spirit as they want to try and level the playing
field.
They just have so much damage, but too, like bodyguard plus alacrity is also something
they can torch to puke in those fights.
Now he has Butterfly.
Good luck killing it.
Add a division to the backtrack to the saves.
Mekota is going to poke at him, as the Prestifact and Lotus will be immediately put on the
Faceless Void.
Full HP again, a Lackretty on him, double damage basically, 500 a hit.
A late cliff as they jump hex, not much to do though, as the Faceless Void just steps
back.
Team Spirit, happy to hold this area, they've got side ground vision, they've got lane ward
mid.
The thing is, Naga creates lane pressure, but Naga does not create pressure on your throne, you know?
So Spirit, they're not even worried about being ratted in this game. It's not as if you have a lone druid's lane.
It's like, okay, if we push, we have to think about the bear killing us with our turn.
Naga's just not that kind of hero.
Nightfall can get the lanes out, but...
He just does not take the building fast.
Especially against a Voker who can just double disarm him.
Then you have to BKB, then it gets really weird if you stick around.
Spirit, trying to play for this rose shot, it'll be a longer spawn.
Two minutes to go.
Continually keeping these wards out just so they can see the jump.
Naga illusions spreading out the map.
We're going to smoke to try and contest this rush, but what did they get?
I don't think they got anything either, what?
No, I mean, it's the last fight.
No items, no buybacks, no nothing.
Aurora had so many chances here where they've had the numbers advantage, they've seen the
heroes up.
Oh, they found war.
He's in immediate jump, he's been saved, BKB's up, Yatoro comes in with a crono, Cataclysm on the Naga Siren, they're focusing Nightfall down, and Yatoro, he looks like he's got the damage, he'll try and shift away with a storm, and the Siren, the BKB going, Nightfall lifts with a 100 HP!
Oh my god, you can't let him slip away, meanwhile, Marcy falls into the Timber Storm, Mikoto now can catch up, maybe till with Yatoro and Collapse on the front, they're got to lull, Invoker lifted and saved the game with a glimmer cape, Yatoro the infamous shot's landing, forcing Void spread away, is this faceless void?
He's on the run. Resetting with his Amplified Damage Rune might think about another go if there's the opportunity to strike into Nightfall, but they found Collapse!
Another big kill!
Spirit are trying to bail on this fight.
The Throne is taking some ship damage from the mega creeps through that top lane.
He did not want to double-cronle the Naga. Felt like he had the damage with the BKB at the end. The Atorah could have pulled the trigger, but did not.
I don't know, it's back on the Marcy.
That's a dieback.
Two minutes without her.
A lot more difficult for Spirit to fight outside the base, especially when Aurora gets to jump on your big damage dealer.
You have to blow all the saves on Laurel and that changes the fight a lot.
Tornado kind of backfired too. The Naga got tornadoed in that chrono as they were trying to throw out the spells at the same time.
And again, that overlap ends up saving Nightfall's life.
He would have had buyback for that fight anyway though. That's why you don't want to spend both chronos on one Naga.
It's just not gonna win you the long fight. I kind of agree with his assessment in there. It's hard not to agree with this guy
but
It's also easy to say like why don't you just colonel and kill him. He's actually gonna achieve you the long results you want in this situation
They only used marsify though. You're not over committing to this
Just not a lot going right for them here
You get caught in the do in the corner with the legion during his VKB 2
You're not able to do anything. Just completely caught off guard
WS zones out two here so the right hand side well might fall off the song good target
irritation from Aurora that's what wins of this fight they go on the invoker first they're
going on the back line there they're dodging this boy dodging the Legion how do we clock
got to get a single hero in higher fight it's hard to also ignore this K.R. enchantress the
fact he's got hypostone which played this hurricane fight he's going to range and look at
nest of collapses like oh shit we got to get out of here adapt half HP and then
blown up well that's now ages for WS Timbersaw
give it to the big boy on front and there's a wind waker for the void
spirit that's huge it is really big trying to get some of these stage so
the chrono is gonna change the game a lot there's no dispell in this spirit
line of other than tornado which you know you're not gonna use tornado to
dispell someone in chrono divine rapier fakes us void
Radiant have Glyph.
He's holding? Okay, he takes the Chronos, that one.
Jumps in on this Timber. Shows how much damage he can do.
He does a lot of damage.
Short amount of time.
He does a lot of damage!
He's done a lot of damage!
Age is already gone!
He can pre-chrone over here if he wants.
I might think about it, but the Hexamira protects the Timbers escape.
Doesn't even have to.
Face Defended.
I mean, if everyone stays up.
The biggest things for Spirit are the Bibex.
It's a Glyph.
If they have those up, they're not really too worried about getting kills here, so they don't have to overextend or chase or overcommit on these big targets.
Just let Aurora break against the walls, as they did before. They don't have an easy way to end this game.
Wave after wave.
Feels like Team Spirit playing Infos right now.
Just a fend against everything coming in towards their base.
This is a wild game. We're about to hit 60 minutes, by the way, which now you gotta start thinking about tier 5.
But this really isn't Doge anymore, it's Hero Survival!
Protect your cores, defend your base.
I think Smokes were spirit, they pushed out all the lanes, they have Hex on Rue.
Trying to find a bit of terrain that they can play from.
It's such a big spell to have on Rue, we could display in the game where you just, you get a free site.
A low cooldown, 8 second site.
Radiant, 16 minutes.
It might find the usual suspect here, Gary.
The Enchantress, tooled again.
K.O.R.Y. blown up!
100 seconds without her.
I know that's a gem.
I mean, they've certainly shown
this Enchantress can die.
I think the majority of the dual damages come from him.
Because we take a breather. Yeah, take a breath here.
And if you're a roar, you gotta take a big breath and...
Try and reset right now. I'm sure the past 10 minutes a lot of them holding their breath
They watch their teammates die in these incredibly chaotic close team fights the weird thing for Aurora here
I think they understand there's almost no way they can end the game straight up
Has to be through hero kills. Yes, so it has to be through killing without buyback and that is gonna require
Spirit fighting outside the base
So this is one of those games where
You have to be patient, and we're asking for some breaks here.
You have to be patient, extremely patient, and understand that the one way you might
win this game is dying, spirit pushing you, and then you killing them.
Mmm, it's his boomerang effect in the ultra late, and you have to have the right buybacks
and the right moment for that, and get like that clutch double kill on the void, you know,
where he buys me, doesn't have Kronos, and you kill him again in that one window.
It's weird situations like this, because I refuse to believe there's a world where
Aurora can push straight up and win that fight into the cliff in the buybacks.
Like, there's just no way.
They don't have the heroes to all in the throne.
No, they don't.
They have to tell a chapter, so...
Maybe you get a bunch of, like, books that are dead or something,
that change their, like, Stygian.
This is good shit.
Bunker's throne!
Yeah, there are some weird itemizations that could come out with Stygian
and, like, a Deso or something out of it.
But, even with Double Chrono, it feels real tough.
Claps Lincoln's MBKB.
Offers in protection against that side device,
and now with the Faceless Void arriving,
I damage coming in,
Stomper Star has stopped this Legion from doing damage, forces the Cronus...
But the Stomper Star has saved McCutley, he was alive, Meteor's dropped in,
and you have to try to deal with the BKB's up for this Timberstove,
and he's gonna try and break through with the BKB, another Sparklone.
Now jump again onto the...
Oh, go step the route from Mira, and lul, he picks up the kill.
Okay, they got the fight outside the base
They used the chrono. He doesn't have her pressure anymore by the way, so it is just single chrono
Professor use for the invoker no buybacks full just double support kill no glyph so
Honestly, I look fancy, but not much happened in the end. I
Think you got dual damage something for collapse here. I got that from earlier. You didn't get
Well, you get some time to push the lanes of your spear, you get to collect another tower.
Maybe the downside of having such a good hydration system has collapsed, you're needing a P-brake
with his method of water.
Yeah, I've been there, it's rough.
I saw a nightfall yapping after that was called, I don't know if he's talking about his team's
plan or what.
You're probably like, this guy is weak bladder, go, go, go.
That's what I've been doing.
The mental effect.
The biggest thing is they got time to farm neutral items here.
They got triple Stygian.
What the fuck is that?
Just not even good?
I don't know, we're surely not.
But it is a lot of damage.
They got double Evolved plus the Audacious Stygian
for your Toro, of course he rolls it here.
They got the Harmonizer for Laurel,
some nice fellow Implication.
So pretty good for him.
I look at the Dejvimera.
It feels like Spirit got the better tier five here.
Yeah, you got one book of the dead, that's nice.
Stygian for the enchanter Stygian for Makoto, so they did get some Stygians here. The zoom blood rate also nice
I'm not just looking at this triple Stygian
That's crazy to me. I don't I guess the fights are pretty spread like Marcy's going on one support to one side
There's a Krona on some others. Yeah, I'm aiming another target. So it's not awful. No, I'm not saying it's terrible here
It makes it funny. It's just kind of wild that you see that
And they got the good enchantments to like double evolved plus audacious
The audacious on this void is
So very scary, but he's hidden for
He's hidden for 750 before all of the procs for lack of to end all the amp and the alacrity in the bodyguard
And the minus armor from the stitch leg
MKB procs
Is it worth him buying Daedalus?
We just can't flood it in I guess
He's gonna buy back up divine and probably moon shard at some point that's kind of like
what he was looking for.
He does get a lot of attack speed off the shard when he goes in and he dilates a lot
of heroes.
You gotta remember he's getting a bunch of attack speed per stack.
So I don't know if he's too worried about that.
Not having double Chrono is a little awkward in some situations, but I think he feels he
has to win the long fight anyway.
Aurora taking what they can on the map.
Free Tormentor.
Oh he already has a backup divine.
Where is it?
I see the fountain.
It's on the floor, okay.
GLaDOS is going to go on Dinosaur here.
Big boy to break down.
He got the BKB off, but the physical damage is over well, mate.
Great win, Waker.
Nice save there.
He's kept him up. The Timbers are still alive. Two man Earthbite lands!
Oh! Oh! The turnaround! Yatoros down!
Mira comes in to save the day!
Sick Wind Waker. Into the aggs on the drop down.
So close with the Lotus Blade.
It's dangerous playing outside your base.
And now buyback's required.
Spirit. They're gonna have to buy both the cores here.
It does have to back up Divine Rapier.
But that other one went to the Enchantress with the Moonshard with the Spingy and he's dealing some serious need right now.
At this point you should duel the Enchantress.
I think you've got to.
Maybe they can try and hold the Void by here if Aurora are afraid to commit.
Is that Raider on the floor? It's back under the Courier.
Held in the base for now as the Spaceless Void hasn't pulled back just yet.
They're gonna put the Enchantress on the front line.
Focus Throne. Death in class, pushes them back.
That's Mera chips away and Makoto jumps in, trying to force something out of spirit.
And now the buyback. Faceless Void. They lift the Enchantress back in towards the remnant.
The focus on Larl though, needs to be giving the save to get away.
Remember, he has no Chrono here, no refresher.
Dangerous times, they'll kill off the banner.
At least protect their throne as Larl makes a move on this Enchantress now,
trying to get this Rift, you're back to heal up though and Larl's falling in.
Voker gone and forced to buy WS on the Marcy, blowing up, not me.
Go for two minutes now!
They're doing it right here.
Still have Glyph, but the Fies are gone. Aurora, they fixed one issue in this game.
They can go for it all.
One more chance for Spirit.
Everything on the shoulders of Yutaro.
He stores no Chronosphere, no Refresher, 30 seconds for this big ulti.
A massive window.
And Aurora is going to shove all the Lames in, gather up the armies, defeat the Bronze Legion,
with all the abyssal creeps arriving onto this Throne.
He got hit in the thigh.
Oh god, Hex, don't say it, he's got a game!
Two minutes without him, they'll duel in the back lines
and try and team with Keori, but the damage is done already.
Aurora 5 alive, focusing Throne down,
someone as strong as Simon's going to come in,
they can turn around and laugh, collapse is slept,
Shackrim comes in as well, and it's in focus,
there's so much trouble, Tracer jump away with a save,
they've got to turn around and collapse, and there we go!
GG call, thrown us down, Aurora, another 2-0 victory!
But my god, they have to fucking fight for it!
Now, what a flog into the late game.
Ultimately, though, they make the right item decisions.
That single win-waker against the lineup with no dispell,
not prepared for it, absolutely ruined that push outside the base.
Oh yeah, lean back to the US!
He over-performed in this game for sure, 28 and 5, coming out for the man.
he did everything he could and ultimately it kind of fell to the two supports who end this game with
the Divine Rapiers, the Mira and Kauri support duo picking up the building damage. That was not
an easy game to win. I think Atacerd, Pointe-Spir, are favorite there. Absolutely right, they were,
but damn is it. It's tough to play these late games into the unit swarm too. There's just so much
vision coming out from the Nog illusions, the Enchantress creeps, Timbersaw on the front line,
of Pointe-Spir you can't catch the hell of a game and ultimately Aurora they got a chance in that
that grand final. They do two owing spirit, two owing falcons and tundra before that,
heading towards that grand finals. Screw our predictions on a charity more, give us some
more dough at two. If it's not going to quality, then who would turn you down? Aurora managed
to make their way to another dream league grand final. They were in season 28 as well,
but fell to tundra. But now, if they've already taken down tundra, they took down falcons
and now they have taken down Spirit, and in what a fashion.
Because if there is every team that is going to push it to the limit,
the absolute edge of possibility, it is Team Spirit.
And yet, despite that, Lacoste, Aurora still beat them.
What an absolute banger, Tsunami, just to finish off this one.
Another 2-0 for Aurora, because this team, when they started the group stage,
they didn't look too hot, and then they powered up throughout the tournament.
In this one, you can see the resilience of Team Spirit, a little bit of a throw, coming up for more a couple of times, but in the end, this was the closest game I would say that we've seen so far against Mega Creeps.
It looked like this might be the first game where you actually managed to beat Mega Creeps, but then again, these Stygian Desos, Odacious, and Divine Rapiers that Supports did pick up, it's just too much damage.
It was so much damage and something that really stood out to me in this game is that now that BKB can't be refreshed.
Naga's Firing Song is actually such a good reset in the extreme late game.
It did feel like Naga's the carry falls off in situations like this, but in this overall late game, Void was slept in the chrono quite a few times.
Like it did come in clutch and that's due to the nerf frame.
Yeah, absolutely. There are a lot of things that played out this game.
game I feel like this is this game is a nice summary of this tournament or you
know you're really not sure is this gonna be a 25 minute game or a 65 minute
game it's not gonna be a 40 minute game it's gonna be 25 or 65 so I think that
you know the culture talking about them actually showing the closest chance of
actually winning with megas this one of the I don't know what interview was but
one of the interviews was talking about the the games are longer because teams
have gotten better yes there was a bit of a slip up from a war but I feel like
This is a case-in-point example of if you're playing professional Dota and one big slip-up makes the game last 35 extra minutes
Like that speaks to how good these teams are their resiliency like hats off to Team spirit for making that such a fun and interesting game
But I was firing on cylinders. I look forward to seeing if they can actually close it out for once
That's true because they have succumbed in grand finals now in both of their attempts to dream league season 28
They fell to tundra and then just now in the lock. Yeah, they felt a bet boom
Yeah, that one wasn't really close. It felt like he was affecting them too much, but them now coming out of the lower bracket and having, I would say, this type of a buff after beating Team Spirit like this, because if they came into a game 3, I think they could have potentially crumbled as well, but now riding this high, I think there are a really good chance to potentially win the whole thing.
Especially Mira, Mira specifically.
Oh yeah, we saw some tapes in the first game as well.
Yeah, I don't know.
I'm telling you, this guy had something to play for.
Those lion ravages were personal and he got the victory.
And now Aurora get to continue a hell of a lower bracket run.
2-0's the entire way through ever since they dropped against Spirit in the upper bracket.
Their early game is so sharp right now.
It's looking very scary.
They're winning lanes, they're drafting for Tampa,
drafting for Tampa and they're even able to play Tampa with heroes like
Faceless Void and Doom. It's gonna be very exciting again finals. This game
was so good though. Like I'm still kind of reeling about it because so many
situations could have changed like little tiny things that could have took
the favorite either team. There was a moment mid where like there was no
double cataclysm you know. I think there was a misclick or something but he only
cast one cataclysm on the Chrono and if he had cast both the Nagasire and would
of that. And if you're playing games like that in your Aurora, you feel that in your
bones. Like you feel very in a good way.
You could feel that Aurora at one point, they felt like they were out of options. They were
unable to like have an idea how to close out the game. So they had to push it to those
tier five to that 60 plus minute.
And the option is Kaori with a rapier and a Stygian.
Yes, just steal enemy rapier.
That's the option.
And this right here, this right here is both that just spirit was doing the spirit up until
this point, the double cataclysm did not come up, but these leaking scenarios are so hard.
It speaks to Aurora and the quality of the team that they are to put Team Spirit in a
late game situation where they then fumble and choke, right?
And that does leave Spirit now eliminated, which gives us a little bit of time.
Time for what exactly?
It's time for another DHL Super Drop this time.
So Rora has to prepare for their grand final, so we're going to give them some time to recharge
and then we get to fill the time in the meanwhile.
So some of our orders of business, obviously the super drop, a little bit of a pod champ
panda concert and then a best of five of Dota.
First order of business, no, Lacoste, Effie, Brian, make your way over to our bench because
So I've got to quiz you guys on some floor, some Dota gameplay, some competitive history
knowledge as we are being treated to as a super drop.
And guess what?
You at home can participate as well.
If you're in the chat, you can type exclamation D-H-L-DROP-A-B-C-O-R-D, because it's a multiple
choice question.
And this time, you're not collaborating.
It's every man and woman from there themselves, alright?
question and we're gonna go elimination style. Oh it's elimination? I guess I don't know. I have
10 questions. I don't know how to evenly distribute it between three people. All right whatever. I'll
just take myself out. What? Fine. Don't do it. Fight to the bitter end. You see Aurora,
you think they're just gonna take themselves out like that? True. True. Of course not. Are we
already friends? Let's go Tanami. Let's do it then. It's VHL super drop time. Let's get into our very
first question. It's gonna be a theme going on for most of these. How do anti-mage and away
blink? Is it A. Magic. B. Blink dagger shards. C. Slipping between planes or D. Purity of will.
Lacoste. Let's go with D. Tsunami. Purity of will. Raw purity of will. Absolutely. That's my answer.
I can't even see the answers on the screen because that one just spoke to you.
I'm half blind.
That one speaks to me as well.
Yeah, I want to be because it's the only answer that I remember.
Okay, I like your goldfish memory.
Is it correct though?
It is correct!
Absolutely.
You hear the voice lines always about the purity of Will.
Alright, off to a good start Lacoste, I'm impressed.
Let's get into our second question.
Which one?
Is it only who answers first?
No, I'm gonna, we're gonna go one by one.
Oh dear.
Yeah, so you're next.
Which combination of these item builds is the highest net worth?
Is it A, Daedalus plus urn, B, Battlefury plus boots, C, Radians plus Ghostseptor.
Wait, can you just repeat that I forgot?
Daedalus urn, Battlefury boots, Radians ghostseptor, Refresher Midas.
Daedalus urn, Battlefury boots, Radians ghostseptor, Refresher Midas.
It's the highest net worth a lot of gold
Scrunching the numbers. I forgot them again
I'm just gonna go with whatever a was because I forgot Daedalus earn you say what was B
Battlefury boots. Oh, you go see radiance ghost up. What was D refresher Midas?
Radiance ghost after radiance ghost after
Exclamation DHL drop C is what Effie's saying the correct answer
It's D. Oh, no, you got to go with the with what your memory remembers. That's so true. Yeah, okay
Well, that was a that was a lot of words. I'll make yours simpler Brian because I know you're a little I would have liked the math one
Oh, like I'm gonna forget other things. I'm playing to each of your weaknesses. Yeah, exactly
Targeted this time why you love lore, right?
Loves lore very knowledgeable about the great that I'll quiz you on it
Who do Anti-Mage and Wei work with as a fellow employee?
They're employees.
They're contracted. They're salaried employees.
But where and who with? Is it lion? Is it visage?
Is it silencer or is it terribly?
So I know terribly it's like a demon. There's no way it's that one.
You don't think your voice said the demon department?
I feel like silencer and anti-mage have a similar theme.
Like neither of them want you to cast spells.
That is true.
I'm gonna go silencer thematically and if it's wrong then this has been there wrong. It's a failing on the Lord
The Lord is wrong. I say okay. Well, it's a reasonable justification
Does valve software agree the correct answer between yes?
It's violence there my Lord prowess continues this man knows
What's the artifact card that's that's like that there a house house something? I thought oh house something
What are we talking about? I'd silencer hangs out at like a house like the house of
of Magikate or something like that.
Yeah, I don't know.
I actually don't know.
It's been a while.
You haven't queued up Artifact recently?
No, in like six months.
What?
I haven't played.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, I've been playing FTP recently.
Yeah, I do.
From time to time.
Artifact's strongest soldier right here.
Absolutely.
It is lax.
How long does it take to find a game?
You find it immediately against bots.
Oh.
All right.
Next question is for you, Lacoste.
It's more anti-mage themed stuff.
Who is the sworn enemy of anti-mage
and is the one who attacked his monastery.
Is it A, Invoker, B, Zeus, C, the dead god,
or D, the god of magic?
That's what he hates.
Never heard about the last two of them?
The god of magic.
The god of magic, yeah, Zeus,
he's probably just chilling at the Olympus,
so I'm gonna go with Invoker.
He has the most spells, that's why he's been hated the most
by AM, so let's lock that shit in.
Locking it in in voker the correct answer is in fact the dead god
What is dead god?
The guy that anti-mage apparently has beef with
Well now I have beef with him as well
There were former teammates and now anti-mage. They got kicked by the dead guy. Let's do some more lore
You want some more lore? Oh too bad. I've got pub related questions for you Effie
Yeah, who is the most picked support hero of all time in Dota 2?
Earthshaker.
Whoa, with raw confidence, I didn't even say anything yet.
I just feel like it's Earthshaker.
You just feel like it.
I'm saying in pubs, not competitive Dota.
I'm saying in all of the 6.72.
5.
5.
I'll tell you the options.
Is it Lion?
Is it Ogre Magi?
Wait, in this patch?
Of all time.
Oh, okay.
Is it Lion, Ogre, Magi, Rubik, or Earthshaker?
It's Rubik or Earthshaker.
I'm just gonna say Earthshaker, because, yeah, he's cool.
He is cool.
People are gravitate towards him.
I see what you did there.
Grav, like Earth, like gravitate, like...
Not intentionally, but let's go with it.
Let's go with it. Let's go with it.
Lock it in.
Lock in the Earthshaker, and then show me that it is Lion.
Whoa!
I know, right?
I would have chosen Rubik first.
I double-checked this.
Lion is the fifth most all-time pick here.
What?
I'm not expecting that.
I know, people love to use finger, they love the scale, yeah, the stacks, infinite scaling.
That's definitely a recent thing, though.
It's a very satisfying spot.
Manadrain has been there since the dawn of time and people love making other people miserable with that.
That's true.
I just feel like the blink ecosystem is what every new Dota player plays for when they're playing support.
We do live for that.
Unfortunately, Lion is the most all-time pick support hero.
Next question, I'm gonna make it real easy for you, Brian.
Thank you.
I'm gonna make it real elementary school.
Anti-mage has an iconic spell suite counterspell mana void blink and
I mean you shouldn't you shouldn't even look at that. What's the what's the last spell? Stop looking stop looking stop looking
I think it's mana break. Oh, yeah, I think I see it
You don't think it's mana barrage or mana be gone. I think it's mana be gone
You think it's mana be gone mana break lock it in lock in a mana be gone. Look
Oh
Oh
It is indeed a man of break is just cute dog. Good job, Brian. Thank you. I'm just hanging in there. I'm not keeping score
Are you got one? I think I won Ryan. I got two. You got two
I've got zero. He's got all right. Give me another anti-mage
I'm just here to be in for it.
Wanted to anti-mage the Lord question.
Too bad, stop trying to predict what I'm going to give you.
I am going to give you, uh, oh man, this would have been a math one.
I-I really gotta choose these more accurately for you guys' strength.
Uh, four heroes walk to the Secret Shop Bar from the fountain.
Who arrived first?
Walked.
They walked from the Secret Shop, from the fountain to the Secret Shop Bar.
Is there an enchantress?
There is an enchantress.
Walk that shit in.
You manage a meepo in a pug. No, I mean are they like blinking is there a second meepo that he poofs on heroes walk
Why the long face meepo says and he says the bartender says
Mega
We're walking you're walking an enchantress. Yeah, she has the most legs out of all these that's how it works
Yeah, she's got four pairs of boots lock in D the correct answer is easily
But in chance respect the like in the Lord of the Rings you can get the help from the Eagles and true
I mean if it said any mode of transport the Eagle lore would obviously play out if chances is going to Isengard
Yeah, then
That's a completely different question.
Yeah, Pugna's not... he's done for.
Alright, let's see, what do I got for you, Mira?
Very cute. Pugna has a very adorable look.
He does.
I think he's the cutest soda hero, because of the way he walks.
He's a little waddling sweetheart.
That's why they made him so fast.
Waddling.
Alright, I've got competitive Dota history for you, Mira.
Great.
I love the infusion.
I think you're giving me these ones.
My pleasure.
Hey, Brian, what's the answer you just first spoke of?
Um, which hero has not featured in a winning lineup of any TI final game, winning lineup?
So earlier we had a question in a previous DHL drop of which hero is featured in the
most winning lineups.
It was Nature's Prophet.
Nature's Prophet, correct.
Out of three TI winning lineups.
Which hero is not featured in a winning lineup?
Is it Antimage, Ember Spirit, Lyon, or Crystal Nader?
I'm going to say Antimage here.
You're saying Antimage?
I don't remember the early TI's, but my heart says there's no way that hero makes it to TI finals.
Or you're playing to the theme of the quiz.
I'm playing to the theme of why would you pick anti-mage in the grand finals?
What if it's Lion again?
I know it's not interest.
I know the two like contrarian answers are Lion and anti-mage.
Yes, they were like the theme of the quiz and the most played pub hero.
Yeah.
That would be a funny stat of its Lion.
It would be a funny stat.
Lion would be strange because I feel like he's always had a place in competitive Dota.
Yeah, for sure.
My only concern about anti-mage was I know in TI1, he was like super broken, but I didn't even watch it.
That is through like early TI, there was a lot of anti-mage. I'm just gonna say anti-mage because fuck anti-mage.
Alright, let's lock in a completely unbiased anti-mage. The correct answer.
It is like...
You knew I'd get it wrong again!
You fell right into my trap!
haha
yeah
i don't know which one
maybe one
yeah it was probably one
don't even know
i've got another
brain bender for you
brian
i know you've been giving me a challenging one so far
i appreciate you
really pushing you to the limits here

which enchantress the skill was her old ultimate
her old ultimate. That's the top. Bro, stop looking! If you're so confident you shouldn't
need to look. Yeah. Lock eyes with me. Lock eyes. Is it sproink, nature's attendance,
and chant, impetus? Can I phone a friend? Yeah, I'll...
Impetus, friend. Oh, thank you. It's impetus. You're a mirror,
so it's impetus. Okay, I mean, if she says so. I trust her
on this one. Yeah. All right. Lock in, exclamation, DHL
drop D. Is it is it is it is it's
good for the front. Yeah, it was a good
for that was a post on. Can I have
one of them for my next one?
This is the last one. Right.
Look at this. I'm paying attention
to the final question. All of you
at home better locked in. It's your
last chance to explanation DHL drop
and who's going to take it? The cost.
Are you the I think we this is a team
Never all right. We'll collaborate on this final question. It's lion
We're saying be we're saying lion and
True true okay, I like that one which hero has applied graffiti to treat protectors bark
Is it a Phantom assassin be spark see drow ranger or D Ricky?
Ricky is a, you know, sneaky little fella. I could see him, Ricky, you know, sneaking
out during the night and make some graffitis happen on the walls and on the protectors.
Can you repeat that often?
Is it PA, Flark, Drow, or Ricky? Who applied graffiti to Tramper?
I actually feel like Flark would be most likely to apply graffiti just because, like,
Ricky and Pia, they're busy being assassins and they don't have time to graffiti around.
Flark broke out of prison.
Maybe that's why he went to jail.
The Lord that Clark was in the prison. He literally killed people with a shiv
That's why it's more perhaps he went to jail because he did graffiti. I mean
The only I agree with the character
Assassination of Slark here, but I think Lore wise Slark's under water
He's doing is he can do it because he's in jail. He's in jail. He's in jail
He was on parole and then he graffit my fear is that Ricky according to Lord is the invisible middle child
So he must have had a rebellious phase where he's like pranking tree and protectors
So I mean it's either Slark or Ricky for me
But I just think likelihood of Slark coming to the surface and doing that is low. It's a collaborative effort
Yeah, I don't want to outvote you but you're too. I could go with my teammates. Okay with the teammates
It sounds right to me like a good Dota player. You got to commit to whatever your team is doing even if it's completely and utterly
Correct
Woo!
Yeah!
Ricky has a little carving if you go into Showcase with you on Tree and Protector.
Ricky was here.
No way!
What?
It's like on his back leg.
I'm gonna look for that.
That's pretty awesome.
I know.
It's a little Easter egg for all the committed people out there.
Is that on the base set or is that on every single one?
Base set.
Okay.
I'm gonna look for that.
Yeah, look at it.
Ricky was here.
And you all were here for the DHL Super Drop.
Friends, I'm so proud of you for succeeding on this quiz.
And now in these final moments, I want to get some last impressions on your experience at Dream League Season 29,
because we've got a grand final to prepare for. LaCoste, how's this season been?
It's been amazing. A lot of 60 Demos, 60 plus minute games out of any Dream League.
We had some really back and forth, like a lot of throws we saw, you know, playtime having some amazing go to.
Unfortunately, they're out, but we're also seeing teams speeding things up, having like 25, 30 minute games.
and the par vision against Aurora,
I think this is going to be a banger.
They got to brace themselves.
Absolutely.
FAA house season 29, Ben.
It's been awesome.
I totally agree with the call sentiments about the games.
But I also feel like it's going to be a very draft
dependent grand finals, which is always
interesting to watch when teams are equally skilled.
And that's where most of the winning has been.
And that's where the coaches and the better team
structure comes into play.
That's what they've been preparing for these past 45
I mean, it's some Brian thoughts on the closing of Dream League season 29.
We're not there yet.
I'll give it just, I agree with everything and I'll give a bit of a different take.
What I love coming into these type of tournaments is somebody like Fart saying,
Hey, we've been playing against me and Lacoste,
been playing at Snapfire mid in all of our unranked pubs.
We think this shit's OP and then that hero wasn't touched at the beginning of
the tournament and now it's like getting first round banned and all that.
And it's like a huge part of that.
For me, I really enjoyed Dream League because there's always such a constant
meta evolution that happens.
And it's just cool to see the transition from the first few days to now.
And I think it's, it kind of speaks to you some bounds that Aurora started this tournament on 3 and out here.
So a lot of storylines, a lot of fun.
And we're going to see how these storylines conclude as we prepare for our final series.
But don't worry, as you know, a tradition around here at Dream League is we have a little concert before we get ready for that best of five.
So stick around to watch a video from DHL about Anti-Mage in case you didn't know some of the answers to our questions.
And then stick around for a concert from the PogChamp Tandas.
Welcome to another episode of Tales from the Lorekeeper, episode five, part two, Anti-Mage and Way.
Last time we had to meet the mentor. We're picking it right back up, the moment that he met her.
She lived a happy, normal life, traveling in a caravan across the plains peacefully with her people.
Until one day, she awoke to screams.
They were under attack. She could hear the slashing of the steel and the cries for help from her kid
until the monsters were at her carriage door, dragging her parents out.
Be slaughtered like they were nothing. Monsters, demons.
But she would not die there. The fire that burned in her where the others would fall,
She instinctively would survive flying her way out and escaping.
Days later, starving, beaten, and barely alive, Faith would have found her by the most like-minded of souls.
I'm now in his prime, Anti-Mage.
The useful vigilante had spent several years hunting and brutally slaying any foul wizards or other worldly magical creatures with little rhyme or reason.
He found her hot on the trail of the magical abominations that slaughtered her caravan.
He saw on her himself a child who had seen their happy, blissful, mundane world of peace
ripped away from them by the supernatural, a blaze with a fire that refused to let her
lay down and die, the will to fight.
He took her in and nursed her back to health.
Despite his brutal lifestyle and his multiple attempts to dissuade her, she stayed by his
side, learning his ways, following his habits, and adopting his utter detestment of all things
magic.
The thing is, the Animage, much like parents in real life, had no idea what he was doing.
The Image never became a Tuskikari monk.
Sure, he learned the warrior part of the warrior monk, but what he never got around to was the
monk part.
He struggled to recall the lessons his masters tried to teach him before their slaughter,
meditation, purity of will, mindfulness, and focus on the material play.
As he taught her what he barely remembered about peace of mind and soul,
Antimage had come to terms with the truth.
His fire still consumed him.
How could he teach peace to this protege if he himself had not learned it?
So, with much discussion and a stoic disposition hiding his sadness,
Antimage left her at a children's sanctuary to learn, grow and become a normal person.
He promised to return to her as a mentor if she first found herself
Improved worthy of becoming his disciple way reluctantly accepted growing up with that promise hanging over her a sense of destiny
She could intend to claim
Well, she was old enough to fight but the anti-mage he had bought himself a few years to get the whole zealous murder
Spree out of his system and so he did a lot of murdering but again
That's another story eventually you would finally find the structure a place of all things
employment, the Tyler Estate, a re-education facility for arcane practitioners who break
the rules of the wizarding world.
With a new place to call his home, Anti-Mage would settle down, you know, as much as someone
like him could, and with rumors of the Anti-Mage being employed by the Tyler Estate spreading
from the whispers of fearful sorcerers and hushed libraries, then now grown away, finally
found her roaming master.
When she arrived at the Tyler Estate's doorstep, Auntie Mage found enough peace to continue
her training.
For years, he would teach her all that he had learned since their last tutorship.
She would consider him her father, and he would, although he would never admit it, consider
her his daughter.
A paternal bond where he would ensure that she understood he was not her master, but
her mentor.
Teaching her all that he knew with the hope that one day she would surpass him and learn
what he was never able to achieve, through peace and purity of will.
And so, she would carry out missions as his disciple, teaming up and training with Marcy
on combat, practicing meditation and mindfulness in temples, and apparently, what on missions
to kill some of the disciples of her master's greatest foe, the dead god with Windranger.
Some people tell stories of the Antimate himself doing that, but who knows if this comic is
canon anymore anyway.
After the escape of the Wild Wizard, Tarath from the Tyler Estate, the Antimation finally
decided the time had come.
His disciples' training was complete, and he taught her everything he knew.
It was time for her to hunt down her first powerful wizard all by herself and find her
own path to being a hero in the world of Dota 2.
But perhaps that's not the whole story.
Faith might have its grand design, after all.
You see, as Wei herself admits, she doesn't remember that horrible day that started her
journey.
The anti-mage told her the tale of how he found her alone days later the sole survivor
of her slaughtered family.
You see, trauma can do weird things to a mind.
One way of dealing with trauma is to forget it, to hide the horror of what happened with
an amnesia that blacks out key details.
What type of caravan was Wei's family in?
merchants or traveling coven, the slashing of the blades, the brutal executions, the
wanton violence, was that a demon that heartlessly slaughtered her people, or simply a man who
at the time, resembled one?
How is it that an obsessed, fiverent vigilante known for massacring magic users with zero
remorse just so happened to stumble upon that grisly scene, and that only one scared child
survive. Perhaps what awoke the anti-mage from his obsessive insanity, the moment of introspection
into who he was becoming, what he could do for a better life, was found on that day.
The road, the betterment, the way to obtaining your destiny, the journey to becoming a hero,
well, that growth goes both ways. For some, the path to become something more, the path
path being a hero, well, that path is best walked together.
But what will be the next tale from the Lore Keeper?
Well, that's up to you.
Go ahead and on over to esl.gg slash lore and vote for who you want to see it next.

And all of the glass you got from the night
There are some things that just feel so right
But you're not the one that can't be wrong
DreamLeague Season 29 is brought to you by DHL and Chex.
Welcome to DreamLeague Season 25.
We got ourselves a Grand Finals, a best of five between Aurora and Paravision today.
We are going to have a new champion here in this season as these two teams have not won
a Grand Finals.
the entire time, although for both teams it's a long time coming. I'm joined by Jenkins, by
Quinn Bison, and we've got a lot to talk about, a lot to highlight with these new teams.
That's why I said I get to talk to you guys, you know, because otherwise I'll just have your
monologue, that wouldn't be fun, right?
What a fantastic grand finals we have lined up today. I think both of the teams are very interesting.
You know, I'm really hoping personally for my own sake that nine-class whoops out the
The weird heroes in the grand finals which they tend to do
They will bring it out the last second
You think this guy is gonna play normal and then all of a sudden he
Changes the meta right in front of our eyes because I think
Aurora's looking damn good from that lower bracket final. Yeah, they are and I'm I think for them
It's like they just lost the last you know last grand final to bep when they kind of got smacked
And so I think there's a fire to like prove themselves because they've gotten a couple of seconds
They've done well overall throughout this season
I think they've been getting better and better and now it's like that going from second to first is a big step
I think especially for some of these players that haven't won tournaments before like you look at like WS and things like this
It's not the same finals. They're psychologically different. They mess with you. They're they're a different beast
So I want to see if they actually have what it takes
Yeah, and on the other side and say they got a pair of vision who has been looking like the most dominant team here
but it's also their first Grand Finals this season.
Yeah, I mean, I think what's cool about these two teams is that they've had kind of different struggles
that they've had to overcome to get to this point.
And for Parry, I think it's been like trying to figure out the roster.
Like, I feel like ever since Aston's TI, it's just been a little bit of a mess.
They swapped their coach, they swapped some players.
It's just, things just, you could tell that it's not clicking.
But it's like, now finally they're finding like their footing, they're finding their momentum,
they're finding like the right heroes that enable them to play the way they want to.
And no one mentioned in an interview, like they feel like they've been learning a lot from Puppy.
And I think they've been changing. You can tell, like, there's still the same type of team.
They want to crack you. They want to beat your best heroes.
But they're doing it in the new unique ways, which is really cool to watch.
And they're more consistent with it, too, which is why they get here from the upper bracket.
They have had the smoothest road, upper bracket, least amount of games,
and we are going to focus our attention first on ParaVision for that.
We're heading over to Kezu up there.
That's right. We got to focus on the best teams of the tournament.
And this is what we've all been waiting for.
It's the grand finals. These two teams are the best.
They're in form.
So let's see what ParryVision do that makes them so good,
because they made it here kind of cruising, doing the good things.
So let's have a little look at their draft,
because usually this team, you know,
they tend to sometimes take the L in the first game that they play,
but they always have very good things that they do later on.
They had a super cool idea where, against Spirit,
they banned out a lot of their supports,
because there's just a lot of overlap, at least against this team.
And this is not something that we've seen before from other teams.
and also what they did in this series.
So first of all, they had one, two, three times the Statenik Kez.
If you're going to let this hero go through today,
then you definitely need to figure out a way to kind of go about this.
Because if you're going to give it, it's a it's a very big problem.
As my illustrator seems to have locked myself out.
So we've got a little bit of a problem.
Maybe production after this can play my clips.
It's back. We're cooking, guys. Don't worry about it.
So let me pause it right here.
This team, when they get these heroes,
Like I was saying before and especially the other problems you're running into is both the beast and the coddle up here
Let's take a little look at their network. You've got 4.7 K and 2.1 K and also at their levels
So, you know the net worth is fine
The levels are level 7 and 5 currently when if you give this team these heroes you better either a
Own them in the lane or be
Hopefully you can go into the triangle and contest it because at this point this guy just got an injection of 1k gold and two levels
This guy got 400 gold and also two levels on Kato, which is a huge problem
So if you're gonna give up these heroes, I hope you have a plan now the secondary thing that they do
They are the fastest team and they will actually close out games
They're not just gonna go blindly to the high ground like here
They were just going forcing you back and after this they know their timings and what's up
You can see their team, you know, they're taking the tormentor in the meantime. They're letting satanic you chill top
Bro, you finish your axe get your timings here. Notice. He's very close to AC
No, see how he pings the wave because he knows I can get this before the high ground ain't no problem
So they get a solar crest on the coddle. They finished the AC on the Beastmaster
No one has his shard flying over right here on the courier. Here's the drums on the silencer
9 class just got his like he has wholly locked at solar crest at minute 21 and then they just do this
They make it look so simple, but you know when you see a team like playtime
They had a similar opportunity
They didn't go for it and look how easy they make it look but this all comes from so many small things
understanding how to play your draft, how to play your timings, and even here.
There's no overstepping. It's very simple. You let Viper hit, he's incredibly tanky,
he's got all the perfect timings at the right time to just make it look, you know, very simple.
They have very clear plans. You need to break their pattern, either in the gameplay or in the draft,
because if you don't, this was Team Spirit, they giggied out at 25 minutes.
And that's not normal at this tournament, but this team, they're good, they get it, they understand their timings.
They're gonna crush you if you're not ready.
Thank you very much, Kezi, you can join us here as well on the other side of Paravision.
We got Aurora, and yes, they two out, Spirit in the lower bracket, but that game too, was
maybe a little bit too high stress for them to clearly end the series.
Going into this one, Insania, what are you going to focus on for them?
So for Aurora, I was kind of trying to look at what were the issues that they've run
into in this tournament and how they overcome them.
So if you take a look at what heroes they were picking throughout the entire event, you can see it's quite a lot of varied win rates.
They've been testing some different stuff out.
And as the tournaments progressed, they have kind of dropped some of the heroes that haven't been that successful for them.
Like Rubik, for example, was there or they played a lot early on.
Realized kind of fast that it's not working.
And then they started moving Mira into more like Lions.
He played Bane, which has been a huge uprise for them.
I think they're one of the only teams that pick Bane quite frequently, and especially as a position 4.
Phoenix obviously a staple like it's Calory's main hero
And he's been playing it a lot and Warlock for example is a hero that we don't really like consider very good
I think most of us but they kind of it works for them
So they're like they were testing stuff out coming into this event
But like as we progressed they've moved on to some other heroes like
For WS also they were playing quite a lot of supportive heroes at the start of the event event
But now it's a lot more carry based heroes like he'll play Dawnbreaker. He'll play Timbersaw
He'll play heroes that actually scale and damage and provide some sort of like threat in the games
And I think we saw it in the last series like his timber was this time. It's a cooking. Yeah, his timbers crazy
originally they were playing like Largo and on the Lord and it just it just wasn't it it wasn't working for them and
Yeah, that was the main thing there
They also had they're one of the teams that I think kind of like
Differentiates himself from like someone like spirit spirit kind of they will pick
their drafts because they like solid drafts and like to have the same drafts
pretty much no matter what and they will pick somewhat like counter matchups in
some games but usually it's just the same staple type of draft for Aurora they
the matchups matter a lot like what they're going up against makes a huge
difference so unfortunately these are not the right drafts but there was two
drafts that almost looked the exact same from Aurora side but they had vastly
different matchups and in one of the games they ended up winning and in the
other one then they're losing and I find that quite interesting. They were playing Falcons both
times the same team but in one of those games they had like Ursa going up against Razor and it was
a disaster. In another game they had Mightfall have like a much cleaner laning phase going up
against Tidehunter and it was very very clean even though like the overall draft looked better
the matchups seemed to really make a difference for them. I think the way both of you talked about
these two teams it makes me very excited to see the drafts because a lot will be decided on that
and especially in the best of five that is extra important so we are ready to start our Grand Finals.
I think we're happy with this performance because we're in Grand Final.
You play better every day but you don't feel it, you just try to do the best.
I don't think that we are good, I think we play pretty bad actually.
I think we feel confident in Grand Final, we are ourselves.
We can be good when we play more, but for now we make all the mistakes.
The enemy is not punishing us and it's good.
I full cut some of the counter plays, but the Bastion didn't hop to one skin and the taunt is lost to WS.
But Gretzkina will survive it.
Maureen gonna try and kite out the axe.
He'll live for now with the PKB Maureen, but the calls there again and no never by WS still gets Maureen.
He kills him off, the Ma will be able to find him.
It's for he's the only one left.
Aurora, literally I don't know because I don't play versus Aurora,
but I feel it will be a little bit harder just on drafts in games where you play more on pressure.
That's just harder.
I feel not like really confident, but yeah, I feel just better.
They're just better than other bad teams, but still bad team, I think.
Actually, they're both, so yeah, I think we're gonna win them.
I'll try to help get him out of there, but they'll be able to disrupt the TP.
Here comes Gattani.
The J-Pros comes there, but it doesn't matter, cause it's gonna be another clean up in favor of Pyrovision.
Just make hope that they're gonna win and please root for us.
Yep, and thank you for your support, just with the gun.
We tried to do our best and show you really good data.
A little bit of spice grown in there as well.
Both these teams, by the way, haven't faced each other at all this entire Dream League,
They did face each other twice during the most recent tournament where Aurora won both best of threes.
Both series went a distance to all three games, so definitely is, you know, promising here a little bit.
And we are already in the opening kicks here with the Timberstar for WS, Quinn.
We saw him in that previous game, he's a beast!
He is a beast on this hero, and I think it's so interesting that this is the hero that Paravision decides they're gonna go for.
Like, they ban Ursa and Winteranger. These are not first-phase heroes.
They're branding the 4 as the second phase and they're saying,
we think your Timber is fraudulent, and it's game one of a best of five, right?
We talked about it before, especially in best of fives.
You pick the hero at the beginning, alright, this hero is a fraud, we're gonna test it.
And if it's wrong, it's like it's fine, we still have one loss we can give up before we're out, so...
They're being chilling.
It's the spice you want to go for, because WS, like you said, he's a beast,
and this hero, I've seen it.
It's kinda hard to fraud check this one, in my mind, like, this hero has looked very good.
There was someone else that tried to SF plus 1, like SF clock, and it's very good in the lane,
But eventually, if you don't have enough damage, Timber still does the same thing, where he's just big chungus who runs into you, and it's hard to own him.
I hear you guys, but I feel like it's different when Parry does it. I think they are the team that's been doing this all tournament long.
Like, they will give you what you want and beat it. That's how... You came from the upper bracket, right? They've proven that their concept works.
I think, you know, Void is obviously a good hero against Timber, but like, in my mind, if you play SF, you smash your lane, you win the game in 20 minutes.
Like, it doesn't actually matter. Like, Timber won't have time to become an issue.
It's like for me conceptually for barry. This makes a lot of sense and I do like that
They man the air so Ursus good against us that and the other here the mindfuls when playing off the front
That's also getting his stuff is windrunner like I feel like it's everything to me here. It looks planned out
Yeah, it's the future what they're doing like they're thinking ahead
We're gonna give timber we've already banned out the two heroes that they want to pick later on and now we have our SF
Any good matchup or comfortable with it and we can progress forward and unfortunately the big nine class lion. Why?
It could be
Maybe the dookie-dook doesn't have to be him. I mean obviously you won't like it if it's him. So let's let's wait
Why
It leaves very few heroes in the pool for Mira like he has been the guy that
He's always on the same stuff. It's like just being and you pointed out like he
Does so much better on the killer heroes than on like the rubix, you know the backline spell casters
like the heroes that are running around the map and getting kills.
So it's pretty much just Bane remaining right now for him.
Yeah, I think it does suit their team quite a bit because while Makoto plays heroes that can make moves,
I think he is sort of a scaly, farming player by nature.
Like it's what makes him so good at puck is that he prioritizes his own game a lot.
We all know Nightfall prioritizes his own games, so it's sort of like you've got two cores that are greedy,
which means one of the supports needs to be more of a killer.
Same reason like you look at Falcons, like Krait is a killer because his cores are very greedy.
I think you need that balance. I think that's why Mira, like he's playing Rubik,
he can't make moves the same way. They fall flat.
Yeah, and Colnabane.
His Bane is very good. Something else I could see for Roy is maybe like a
Coyori Enchantress. He played in the last series, looks very good.
If I'm up against a 4-Lion, I feel like that should be a good matchup.
Also like maybe off setting some of the early game SF is diveable.
Unless you guys have any other ones that you like.
I mean there's the obvious answer. He's been playing Phoenix
for all his career. I think like this guy, you know,
at some point you don't play Oracle for like 10 years and people still think of
you every time this hero whole, I was like, that's gonna be Corey with his Phoenix, you know what I mean?
Weird flex, but yeah. Keep it up.
No, okay, so I think Lyon's actually a very powerful hero. I think this hero has a really good throat, you know?
I just feel like the one time I saw 9-class and I wasn't impressed with when he played Lyon.
It was like the only game I was not impressed with when he played.
That's what the reason for my like...
apply.
Yeah, he got... they kind of got Mollywop this game.
I mean to be honest this is not a thing about the heroes per se, but the way
Roars are sorry the way perversions sitting. I think it's indicative of being very chill and going like like
Like I think it's really good when one guy's clicking the buttons and everyone else is kind of just fiving and just watching and thinking about their
Own heroes and I notice it very much when I look at you calls and like they're all just like slumped down in their chairs
And I think what you don't want to see is where everyone's talking too much and they're getting super involved in the draft
Like you don't want that let one guy click the buttons you hide this puppy guy let him do it
These dudes have been a lot of grand finals that is the difference
I guess between Aurora and Paravision is Paravision having that year where they won everything
Whereas for Aurora like for night God for example, this matters a lot
You know something what you're saying is more likely to happen with them. This is where KT comes in. It's guys chill
Oh hell yeah
Dude when you look at these heroes, it looks like a Harold pump
That is great. Game 1 of the Grand Finals. Are you kidding me? Witch Doctor?
I mean, we were talking about this the other night. We were hypothesizing timber counters.
Like, Witch Doctor is pretty high up on the, you know, the Dodebuff counters list.
Witch Doctor, Shadow Fiend, that is a nasty lane to go into if you're trying to skate by. So,
it's interesting. I will say this synergy with Esa was not as good as something like a tiny,
because you don't have any, like, like you both kind of do damage from the same distance.
This one will help a little bit with those dykes. It's more fun.
I do like it, to Carlos also he's been by far the best witch doctor, I think against him you have a little less time to respond, he actually goes like, Maladik into cast, he will always land it instead of like, oh I stunned you first and now I'm Maladik, but I fully agree with the point you know the SF witch doctor, but it should still be a very good lane overall, also SF slaughter, you have very good roach, and I think Timber also like you said before again, he needs a bit of time to get some items, get this armor, and I think overwhelming minus armor early on is actually very good against this hero.
Yeah, I mean he doesn't want to buy armor items like necessarily right like in this first couple of items you
It is very strong minus all but they now have built in armor. So what's better built an armor versus minus armor
Yeah, I don't know what does the minus armor strategy expert that can stay on this topic. I think this is a great counter
What is the Phoenix to the miniser because the egg that the armor doesn't matter? That's true
Actually, it's not about the hits. I like the tiny I mean you can like inspecule the two supports on the Paravision side
That's always really nice to have like gold bags running around the map that you can just take for free and
Against SF we've seen tiny versus SF. It's like one of the few heroes
It feels like SF can't just man up and kill like he's too tanky
I actually feel like from party side. This is kind of nice. I would way rather be party at this point
I feel like your slaughter isn't getting like some omega hard countered in lane
He's gonna have a table waiting spot or still yeah, like Phoenix is annoying
But I think your your lane is okay
And I think the slaughter you're kind of scared of getting like absolutely destroyed in the laning phase having no game at all
Having no ability to recover and party's kind of like look
I think they're done their research for sure because I think the third hero on that fuzz list of like the most played heroes this event is fine
and
They probably masked us out and they were like, okay, we take out our sub-runner
They don't really have like a proper response. We're happy with the secretions gonna happen
And if I was playing this game, I'd much rather be part right now. I feel like we have good things going.
I really like the sort of the clash and style of the two teams.
ParaVision is very much, we're countering you, we're giving you all your stuff, and we're going to beat it.
And of course, like, we're giving them your stuff, I'm going to take it.
And they're just picking all their stuff, the same normal heroes.
There's no, like, adaptation really to what ParaVision has.
It's very much just, we won with these heroes, so we're going to keep picking them. A Vayne broke, don't fix it.
In game one of the best of five, that's totally fine though, no?
I think both broaches are fine, but it's like it's interesting to see which one you choose because I think yeah different teams offer different ones
And I was clearly saying we want the comfort above all else
And I think for some teams like Falcons that usually works out for more what I saw looking at the Aurora games
They can sometimes get trapped into these like bad matchups and they just play their stuff anyway, and it just doesn't work out
So I'm a little bit worried for
What looks like for both teams we are missing a mid hero and the slaughter can still be
It's roughed about, maybe even Shadowfiend, but overall looking for a mid laner for both
Mikoto and Noon.
Yeah, I think of your paravision you're looking for something a little more spell oriented,
while the Mindstorm strategy is pretty good.
You don't want to be super all in because it makes things like Sheeva's in low, it's
extra valuable, you generally want some diversity damage, so I would be looking for something
somey spell oriented.
Bro, Puck is still in the pool.
What is that?
Holy crap, it is.
Are you?
Well, you got to ban it now.
There's a lion and a starter on one side.
I don't know if you really want to play Shadowfiend.
Again, I'm having a sub-fiend.
It's just, it's quite the dangle.
Like, it is the ultimate commitment to the,
we are going to give you everything you can counter it.
It's difficult to see.
They do base first phase pick.
Yeah.
If they get the chance.
Most teams just ban it.
They don't even bother.
Is there still a putt counter in the pool
that Tarantor can be planning for themselves?
Starter, like you just put the starter again.
I mean, Husskar votes for a new kind of indicate.
Yeah, I mean, they're pretty banning for putt, of course.
Sure.
I wouldn't mind if parry banned pock even if they feel like that it's okay
Wow, that's so great
That is great
I respect this a lot
Yeah
I mean, because I was looking at one here for parry that potentially could have been a snap last pick
But then I think you would have banned the pock for sure
If that's also the hero you want so I feel like that's kind of out of the window
Like a snap fire for parry?
Yeah, like if they were looking for that last pick I feel like they would have banned pock
Hmm, that's easy
I mean, let's see what McCord of course, his park is incredible.
I'm starting to think, if they do pickpock, which I'm kind of assuming they are,
what are our potential offlaners to pick for Fari, if you want to move the sorter, I'm glad to hear that.
I mean, you could do something like Viper, they were picking that hero a couple of times, and he was...
Oh, it's fine, sorry.
Other ones that will come to mind are like EPs and Necrals, but I'm not sure you're perfectly equipped to play those.
Underlord, maybe?
I mean, you can do something that they've been doing.
I wouldn't say it's incredible this game.
You can pick the onbreaker, which I've seen both of these games prioritizing decent amounts.
I actually feel like Tiny like quite decent in the end.
Yeah.
Plus, I think your point from earlier about like missing some spell damage kind of comes
in as well.
It's true.
You need to try to mix up your damage types, I think.
But it's interesting they're taking so much time because I feel like this puck should have
been very...
Yeah, they should have known, right?
It's hyper-obvious.
Yes.
They know too.
Maybe they're deciding, do they put the slaughter meter,
do they pick some sniper or something like that?
I mean, I'm just usually, I feel like when you're in that phase of the draft
and you're doing your QWAP down,
well you know the puck is coming,
you already have a couple of pre-planned answers.
Okay, interesting, tangled here.
I mean, it is, I think it's straight up good against puck now,
because there's no 25 looming talent
that will just own you whenever the game goes later.
It is sort of tripling down on the minus armor,
which I think, while you can have some issues,
it's not bad against puck
because that hero's not very good at buying armor generally.
So it's a good pango game outside of the bay, and I can see it.
But I do think Perverson's draft is a little weird.
Maybe it's a little more weird than usual, I would say,
for them, whereas Aurora got all the five heroes
that they would want.
I think before going into the game, they're like, yep, this,
this, this, this.
We're going to feel good about it.
But I do like what Parry have going on for them.
I mean, it will be a big test because Aiden also
hates 9-class on the line.
But I think with the surroundings, I think they can do it.
I mean, I think their draft is good. I think it's like, before the last pick, so each side, I felt like it was maybe
80% party favored. I feel like with the last picks, I believe in Aurora a little bit more than it did before.
I'm not sure how this Puck Pango goes. You say it's winning for Pango?
I mean, I think it's Pango, like it's Drysh, it's relatively Drysh, with some outplay potential for Pango.
Yeah. But I think Mikoto Puck, they increased their chances of winning.
Uh, I would still favor Pari, but...
Yeah.
It's an interesting game.
I think, if Parry wins this game, they surely have an immense draft advantage going into the rest of the game, Stanky.
This is like a puppy-five-head classic play, where I love that they just dangled all of Aurora's best heroes.
Aurora took all of them, and we just get to see a parry counter.
Like, no matter what, Game 2 draft will be completely different, and game will be super interesting.
If you lose all your best heroes, it actually breaks the brain.
We couldn't ask for a better draft, so what tech would we do now?
There's one big difference that maybe will come into play for game two,
is that we know ParaVision prefers second pick, which they got this game.
And we saw yesterday, I mean, it didn't work for Spirit,
but Spirit did try to make them a little bit more uncomfortable
by taking the second pick away from them, because...
No, for sure. To me, the biggest question mark is still
whether it was the right choice to leave the puck, like you were mentioning,
because it was quite obvious, but it is very much a puppy thing.
So they're gonna let him cook, they trusted it, now do the gameplay.
You just gotta let him do it, you just gotta let him cook, you gotta see how the players
deal with the draft that they are given, it's a best of five, game one's just the start
of it.
We're gonna head over to OD Pixel and Fog for this one and first, some Fog Champanas.
Time to get to the action, ladies and gentlemen!
One finals there, Dream League season 29, it's ParaVision versus Aurora.
And as Foxes the panel said, we're kind of seeing Aurora get a lineup that looks like nothing was bad against her.
They got everything they wanted, but that's all part of the ParaVision plan right now.
You'd rather know the evil that you're up against her, and that's the case that they've got here.
Do you think they competed though, ParaVision? Do they have the answer for this Aurora lineup?
It feels like a lot of counter picks that the panel was talking about, right?
For me, I look at it and they're looking to shut down these lanes super hard and play very aggressively afterwards.
Aurora, just comfort across the board, strong team fight, it will be able to fight at most times if their lanes don't get run over.
But if they do get run over, that's one of the concerns for me that I could have for them.
Yeah, because they are very team fight heavy and oriented.
You know, Pock, Bane, Phoenix, a lot of these things coming together.
In ParaVision, they have overwhelming damage early with the physical.
Let's see who's idea works.
So they can take WS down, they've got the Maledict on him.
But he will be able to timber chain away, nothing to chase him.
And two things we do have to talk about of course,
Sue is Ducales playing the witch doctor again, 100% win rate.
He loves that.
So far for them and it looked, I mean, it looked really good,
really strong in terms of just getting a lead and never letting go of it.
And he has been the only one, like no other team picked it.
Nobody else.
Nobody else ended up picking it, nobody else ended up playing it,
but indeed the games that he has gone for it, it's looked good.
It has.
It's not even look like it was carried like it's had massive impact
It did the healing in particular. He was every game that I've seen so far
He goes to zero one two and they they own the lane with that level three timing they keep the carry alive
It's been with tiny I think almost every time if not every single one
So we'll see how it works with the shadow fiend
But the design of the shadow fiend is to not let timber play Dota
No, so you get a maladict and a couple of raises on this lad and you know
WS ain't gonna have a fun time
No, definitely not. We'll see what Mira can do playing the band since we were talking about him playing the band quite a bit
It's his one of his best, if not his best hero for me
And then we have to talk on the other side nine class is playing the line
Which I know in Stania is not the biggest fan of Weestruck's struggle. He's not playing one of his big heroes
We'd hate to bring up the stats thing, but indeed this is a hero
I believe he had nine games on it in professional and then that was one from the other day
So he's only played it ten times in professional games
I mean, he's definitely come in today saying I've got something to prove definitely that game on the line did not look great for him
But he's he's gonna show you all that one game one loss doesn't matter doesn't mean anything
He's coming in coming in in this first game of the grand finals and he's gonna show us what's what with his life
Caster plan for it. They should have this kill
Immediately saying I got this and have to talk about the line as well too because they do it
I think something that's interesting with this as well is that it might not be 9 classes most played or most comfortable, etc.
But I think it's probably-
I don't think one of his leads played on it.
Yeah, I think it's probably one of the best heroes versus Mikoto's hero pool.
This man plays ball to spirits and puck.
Playing line versus that is great.
So if you're kind of the coach, you're kind of like, I don't care if you play this hero or not, you gotta play this hero right now.
Especially versus, yeah, versus Mikoto for sure.
So we'll see how these lanes do in particular go down as they do get that first blood top start things.
bottom mirror is doing a good job of being preventative right don't let that
timbersaw get melodic to get triple raise because that and that's not the
major difference right between this and the tiny which don't to do it right
least there with the tiny you got a bit of control and set up yourself to have
more chance of getting the full connection with the fallout damage with
the maledict with this it definitely relies on kind of WS making a bit of a
mistake and to be honest on his timber store could die. He doesn't really make mistakes like his timber performances have been pretty terrifying and
He rarely even dies in the landing stage for sure
But the shadow field on instead of the tiny threatens the timber store more damn. Yeah
Yeah, it's true and it's by yourself
So what when he gets to the kind of point where to Carlos is gonna be looking elsewhere on the map and it ends up being left in sort of a
1v1 situation down bottom at least what before the sticks there on the timber say tanning's gonna feel super strong on his eyes
Absolutely. I don't think Ducals will really leave him too much anyway, because it's Satanic, right?
You want to make sure he has the best game possible, and he is playing a Shadow Fiend as the...
Kind of... like the biggest scaler for his team by far, right? It is a kind of 4x4 Protect 1 for Paravision this game.
Mid lane, dead even.
16-2, 16-1. The other one falling behind.
I mean, that's not bad for the pug, right? Nope. We've seen some pangos get ahead of that.
Bottom lane, Satanic will be able to reach in and find him with the raise.
That's the difference, right? A Tiny will never be able to do that.
A Shadowfiend can kill the timber if he steps out of position just by himself,
doesn't need the Witch Doctor to land anything.
And they did get themselves the Lotus, so Ducales does the exact build that we've seen him do multiple times.
So it's very good protection for Satanic.
I'm super excited for this game to kick off though, and just overall,
just so much overwhelming physical damage from Paravision,
I'm wondering if Aurora changes some type of itemization early to deal with it.
As I mentioned on the panel, usually Timber doesn't like to build an early armor item,
but they might have to start doing something that early if they fall behind.
And we see both of these teams be able to sort of snowball kind of 30-minute games.
When you look at these two lineups, which one is more kind of drawn towards the being able to just
absolute dominate in 30 minutes?
Paravision is very likely, I would say, yeah.
But Aurora has a lot of damage bottom again.
I think he's dead.
Now he's very dead. A couple of raises after Maladik to this point will pretty much do it most of the time.
They are very much seeing the strength and thought put into letting the Timbers through and turning up with this response of the Shadowfiend with the Witch-Tulture in the lane.
Because you've seen how the SF was, playtime has been the one that tried it multiple times versus the Timber and this is what happened. The lane wasn't miserable.
You can't really play it as that Timber, even if you have the backup of something like a Bane, which is a very strong laner,
it's just impossible to really contest the SS.
The thing about Aurora's draft is, even if Power Vision does have a big advantage going into that game,
they have so much teamfight, so that's something they will be able to fight around if they get good levels on the supports always.
Because a Coyle, plus a Phoenix Dag, is pretty strong teamfight in general in most situations.
And even if Timber has a rough start, right, if he gets time, he will recover.
If he gets time, that's the question. Nightfall! Big aggression top!
Should be okay here for now.
If he can turn, Nightfall's notice is also very low.
Lot of physical damage versus the Tiny, who does not like playing versus that early scene.
Nightfall picks up a Wraith Band to deal with the physical damage from the slaughter and the Lion early on.
Enduring it, okay here.
They do have a salvan of a bit more tangles, but have to be careful for the aggression that's coming out from Paravision here.
Indy's lanes.
We'll look at the salvan at Nightfall.
Time for it. Should have us. It's gonna get taken out by the tree.
K-Ori, the Phoenix specialist. Pushing the limits of the hero.
What a... Mera's got the setup onto Jokalus. Jokalus has Satanic by his side and Jokalus has healed it up.
WS will not have the damage to kill him.
Do these heals? It's so much.
And have they gone enough to fuel him up in front of a race?
They do, Satanic gets the final raise in another kill here in the safe lane.
Which doctor? Look, it's broken guys.
And nobody else planned it. Only DeKalus, he's like,
Guys, look at this, look what you can do with this hero.
The viewers at home though, because this is one of the more popular support picks.
Many viewers are watching this, see, I told you so, which doctor is amazing.
The landing is insane, and he's not even on cast.
That's the thing, he went two points in Voodoo Reference.
It's different between me and the viewers and the college, we ain't skinning that hill.
No way.
So this bottom lane is, probably they have to do some type of lane with shenanigans,
break things apart on the side of Aurora because you cannot go back to that SF and you don't
want to feed it too much more.
And seeing the move, no one is already rotating further wisdom to steal bottom.
It does get scanned out.
Nine cost.
Pretty dead hit.
Brains down from Mera.
Sails to deal.
And they're going to go for the steal themselves.
see he's coming forward though they're gonna have to bring some backup in if
the notation will be non-combat great wash buckle and shield crash on two of
them here trying to get the sleep off he's got buddy so here I can trouble
another rotation on the Kodo
do it now we've got wash buckle with the dream cars down on the boat for them
they are super low though more moves dive forward trying to push them off this
the wisdom will be maintained by no one who get the shrine of wisdom notice to
see how to finish off kauri heads up play our vision as both of the wisdom's
power vision is seven minutes in and I really like how they did this so no one
was walking to steal it and then his teammates are probably like dude we need
help and you're the strongest hero he can come in that same damage that he can
put on with the swash gets the connection that's pretty huge very good
stuff and night class oh he's one's in time also and two supports that they love
get in their ultimates as soon as they can because you get a finger or a death
ward out early it will get you a kill. He will.
He's healing up on the burst, he'll be able to take him out.
So Power Vision, a little bit of a sacrifice I would say there from no one,
hurting his net worth a decent amount here versus Makoto. It's actually 1200
net worth lead for the Puck at the moment. Makoto has kind of been crushing it with his
He has.
He has.
He has been absolutely on top form.
And his puck, it's one of his best, if not his absolute best, but there is going to be that lion that he has to deal with in the mid-game, those disables.
Pretty solid so far for him.
5-3.
Experience.
Leading it towards the side of Aurora, but gold so far.
Oh, WS, he's been malinting because of the same time he gets the Razor filling.
He's going to have it!
Last WS dead again!
He is struggling.
And to Carl is absolutely destroying him with just the Maladix.
The Maladix and just one sort of spell coming in from an SF, it will pretty much do it every time at the moment.
Zero four zero on the timber and he thrown out the tips.
Because they are absolutely showing.
They don't care. They'll leave the timber in the draft, you can take it first pick. They've got the counters.
Not only just the counters in terms of the lane, they walk in and start blocking the camps.
Sorry, this book also performs power vision, experience lead because of those ruins and now getting some nice kills also.
I'm this is what WS has. He has to go to the right like the small the 33 camps we called them those two right ones
But he's level four. Besides, he's got no money. He is very broke
But Mikoto the difference at least in the gold to make up for it all
Notice walking up. He's got buddies to the build to push away the band
Satanic truly set up for success in this game.
Is he gonna go?
Okay, I was wondering if he was gonna do the build we saw Yatoro do.
It doesn't look like it, but Masked Man looks like he is gonna go that route.
Nice, it's a nice Manta game.
So many little tricky plays that you can do.
We've seen him already do in this tournament, on his Kaz in particular, dodging some spells
even.
Mikoto, not be able to get the rune, has to be very careful versus the line.
If he gets caught even once, they do have overwhelming damage to kill him.
An interesting pivot too, so Mikoto, we were talking about how much physical they have?
He buys a wraith band, not fuck even.
And immediately gonna rush Witchblade of course, which is natural, but early on than usual.
All this extra little bit of armoury, he's looking to tank up because it is 3 physical
damage, of course.
Cool. I'd love to see these little adaptations in the games.
Because it is overwhelming physical. We will have to talk about it as it gets to that point when Lucky Shot comes together.
Corrosive Pays, the SF-4 as well.
So play.
Non-class cast the opening.
Another one.
It's going to be his level 6 now. Ready to go on the line.
And notice it's having a very good entry into the game.
Sometimes these Slarders have kind of had no game from the start.
Alright, this one is not going to be one of those games. Very strong game for him.
Bottom, they're looking for WS again.
He's got to be so careful.
Caught by Maledict and he's pretty much gone, especially with 9-class hanging around.
If he gets any sort of stun onto him, he'll be a kill every time.
No one.
Going toward that area. No one is changing his build up a little here.
We used to see some of these pangos do this, right? Just the mage player first.
He's going to go mage flare this game rather than going for that diffuser link, so wanting
to mitigate the damage coming up from the puck.
Makes sense.
7-3 at the moment.
Last time to get that little bit of a gold lead.
The nightfall is having a very good entry into this game as well, too.
He's about to have Echo Saber finished up, and there are some squishy heroes on the map.
Even the S7 sometimes, if you do get on top of him, we've seen what these tinies can do.
around the shadowblade times of course but can't look to get involved relatively
early because he has teamfights to kind of bring and get involved into with the
coil in particular. Now I'm getting another rune, Mira is not six yet, no
fiends get for the roll. Looks like Paravision wants to continue accelerating,
swinging toward the mid tower with Satanic. Very difficult there, Aurora
really to push back at objectives themselves and really the tiny on the line of the condition
obviously not for the moment fully focused on just trying to get the farm so and it's too fast
for them to fight around this tower at the moment they don't have the resource if the puck wasn't
ready the phoenix has six but if they were not perfectly positioned for the defense paravision
a little bit too quick on that move and you're ready to try for more with the rolling thunder
they've got the cast into the rolling thunder one more angle just the finger alert comes out and
It takes better out.
Ok, Koro.
Let's go forward here.
Koro!
He's on 9 class.
He's on 9 class.
A little bit awkward, not really able to do anything without Aurora.
Quite awkward, for sure.
Wants to be able to catch the pango in particular there, but only kick that follow up even if they do get there, so...
Paravisionally, with any of these ulties used, right, it's probably going to be go to that top tower.
Look for the pressure again afterwards if they want to bring satanikis in position to go through the portal
So paravision accelerating and aurora have to be prepared for these moves. I see WS going back in healing
They won't have coil
So much harder for them to get the setup in this teamfight
These are fast moves from paravision. The final setup of the nightfall
Carlos trying to close in but the avalanche will hold him back as well as the toss nightfall able to keep himself safe as
Makoto now by his side
5-4, they're gonna go for the supernova, but there's no coil to keep them in it, they'll get one kill.
Can't really look for more, the supernova stun does catch on to no one, but he's perfectly fine, has the rest of the team by his side, they can just head back over to the objective.
They're perfectly fine with that on our vision.
Final tier one tower down here, 14 minutes hit.
That's the blink now for the slaughter, if he wants to purchase it before finishing soul ring, he can start to get even more aggressive, and now Makoto has to be quite careful.
He gets caught in that starter stun, very likely there will be that follow-up.
Looking to make their own move, looking to go for Statenik.
They've got Fiendscript at their ready, but the vision is overpair.
They are super ready for this power vision.
Every single move they're reading.
Grip comes out, but they're here.
Yep, the cars ready to step up, they get the stun.
Beautifully done, they're at max distance to put a stop to the Fiendscript.
It's going to be the chance for the Requiem to come off just to push back any of the arrows that we're trying to close in on him.
They haven't yet gotten back in under the tower on some now.
They got to Kalish, but they won't be able to dive for more than have to back off.
They're only killing supports so far. All five kills Aurora has are on those supports.
Kaori, I'm going to cut the mid wave here. He is also, I wouldn't say fully like pivoting,
but adapting in the build, right, going for solo crest because there's so much physical damage,
they are really looking to double down versus it. As you said, they'll notice the blink is coming out
And so far, Paravision is reading the moves pretty nicely, but Aurora not falling too far behind in terms of full chest yet.
It's just WS, I think he's struggling the most.
Let's see if we can take down, no it's just...
I think so.
They didn't see his blink dagger on him just yet, so he was hiding it on the courier.
Could look to back up for a move.
WS will get some opening here, we'll be able to get the shrine and getting close to his first item.
item but very squishy this is not gonna be the one of those timbers that we've
been seeing that just doesn't die in the mid game I say he's a long way away
from that game he doesn't even have a single point of reactive marker because
he's playing versus that insane magic damage in the lane now we'll probably of
course start getting it but gonna be pretty squishy make it the jump much
Kori should be able to dive away.
Coiled defensively.
Kori should be fine.
How's she eggs there?
I guess we're concerned about getting snagged by a swashbuckle.
I guess so. Night class will die again, Stattantic.
In aggressive place here.
They're in on top of them in the chakram. He's gonna go for the TP out.
He's gone. Heads up TP.
No nightmare for Mira. Nightful had already used the spells.
Chasing forward for the support.
They're going to get themselves close to board kills.
They're getting all the supports.
So seven of them haven't picked up their Makoto,
getting closer and closer toward his blink dagger now in the puck.
Cool game so far.
And it's a close one.
It is.
Both teams probably, I mean, both teams are probably happy with the game state.
Yeah, I think, you know, Nightfall and Makoto,
they're getting all the farm that they want.
It might be able to sentence them on the other side of things,
because they're getting that a little bit more,
but I guess to be expected with how the lanes were set up,
We saw this draft, Paravision, very much going for ensuring that they shut down the offlane and get that solid start for Satanic, which has happened.
Got the mantle finished up already too, so having that bit of an advantage opening into things here versus the Tiny.
Gonna go Dragon Lance, and then yeah, BKB. I do want to see him get BKB relatively early on the Shadow Theme this game, since there is so much overwhelming teamfight.
And you're gonna have to fight around those objectives pretty early too, so
This power visit if they even get if they even get like a split second if they get like a single kill
They could just go straight into a rush. Oh, absolutely immediately so much minus on me. Do you think they will?
Need to at least get that get a single kill before they do that or is there a point where quietly on they could just go into the rush
They could sneak it just a bit dangerous because there is so much fight that Aurora hasn't looking at nightfall more adaptations to the build
He's buying he bought an early blink dagger to get into the backlight to find the shadow seen in particular probably pretty cool
Not all the tiniest we see do this yeah
Can be very important sir just have that extra chance of getting on top of an SF at the back of the fight
That's trying to get the wreck we now right yes, that's the pain getting jumped on
Get the jump of the jacarles it's
But he might just lose his life for this he will and now they could just turn to one supernova
Well, maybe not the trick comes there.
They will surely be able to take out the supernova with SF turning up.
A phase shift, not able to jump out though, they'll get him as well.
Huge kills in that indeed will be a free ticket straight for the roast pit.
Are you there? That's where the blink can sometimes turn against you too.
You see a potential free pick off on the which side.
He did kind of get baited.
I mean he got the kill.
Not gonna get shot at, not gonna fail good for him.
Yeah.
And paravision.
It's accelerating even more here, this draft.
It absolutely can just start knocking on these two-two super early.
They can take what they want from the map.
Very easily put this line up.
Once not is all it takes on most of these heroes to die.
Tukkolas, they're gonna go for a top though, use a grim for him though, so...
It does mean that for the upcoming two minutes, no one can just roll freely.
That was a big move.
The support continuing to tank literally every single tank.
Yep, all 10 kills for Aurora.
Is the Lion and the Witch Doctor.
And they're still going to have pretty okay timing right?
The Blink is about to be there for the Lion, the Witch Doctor, I mean he gree-grees so
whatever right?
He dies and it's whatever.
I'm gree-greene guys, I got 500 gold in the bank to eat something eventually.
Mira.
What are you getting out of here?
This Slardar is getting so much.
The games that I've seen Slardar lose is the ones where he does not have an entrance into this game.
Notice is absolutely having an entrance. 4-0 on 3.
Super good at killing almost anybody here on this draft of Aurora.
WS though, he is quietly catching up.
He is.
You know, if you consider that he pretty much started, what was it? Like 0-4-0, right?
In the delaying phase.
Kind of 4 times back to back.
But he's now only, you know, pretty much the same farm as noticed on the Slardar.
slaughter so you got to keep your eyes on WS making a you know silent but pretty
impressive recovery as a timber sort of got completely destroyed in late he
still can't just evaporate though the amount of minus armor is that overwhelming
it's gonna still take one another sort of what 10 15 minutes of this sort of to
to get to the point where he is gonna be feeling that he can enter into a fight
probably unless you think get have this if he can have the stacks going into the
fight sure but if he doesn't he will just instantly die they're gonna get the
Catch on the outside of the base.
And I've got the burst.
Is it time for at least poking? You have three minutes.
I'm just gonna take the A, just one, alright?
I guess the T2s just want to be safest.
Got as much money as you can around the map, just drift it from Aurora.
At least no need to slow down right now for power vision.
Taking the box is pretty much perfectly. They killed these buildings so fast here.
That's a glyph pop. That is the high ground glyph that is used there from Aurora.
Notes is going to start sweeping back, maybe see if he finds a catch.
And just continue to play super fast here.
Find Amira.
Notes is going to have to nightmare taken off him by 9th blast so Notes can continue to chase down the bay.
Amira, I'll have to accept his fate here.
Good old medallion as well so on top of them having a minus armor draft how many
I think I saw at least two medallions on their side as well too so even more being thrown into the mix
Objective bottom. They've got the tormentor to go for here
Yeah, tormentor into a tier 2 tower if they continue to tick these objectives off the list
Aurora keeping not too far behind in gold in gold as the control of the game goes
not really able to get much at all they've only managed to find what one
tier one tower and the tier one mid and top lane stands for Paravis. And only
support kills so far to not slowing down the cores of Paravision by any means
here so far. And BKBs are incredible this game if Paravision is able to get them
pretty early as we said Aurora the thing that they can do to fight back in
this game is around that team fight the coil the egg definitely be difficult if
if those kind of like double BKB's and the pango has a built-in one you could see the problems for Aurora and these nice upcoming moments
They have quite a bit of a different build from the nightfall this time around right he's going for the mad to style
Then he's gonna go back for our police not this silver edge looking for pick-up things. I think he's realizing
It's just gonna be supports potential that you pick up on parrots. You need to get the big kills need to be able to take the team fight
We'll manage to find the tier one top.
Of course, our vision on the other side of the map are about to take out that final tier two tower.
50 seconds still on the edges, the DKBs are coming out. They're swinging across. They want to catch the kills onto Aurora.
They got a being perfect position here on the side of Aurora.
WS is spotted. Very dead.
They get the jump, I'm with the finger, it's an easy kill.
Even with stacks, he actually had like 20 plus, he just dies anyway, it's too much overwhelming physical.
Throwing in the finger as well on top, four stacks for nine class.
Having a good time, having a good time is not a thing I like.
Here I am, just gonna try and run, and the TP,
he's gonna get put to a stop, rolling thunder connects just in time.
They are playing this to a mere perfection I want to say on Paravis.
Sure, you're hemorrhaging supports, but that's literally it.
Rora.
Have to get some type of fight going for themselves.
They do have coil with tossback, so in the base they still have very, very good ways to hold that high ground.
That's true.
And even just having sort of the element of what like a supernova as well.
Yeah.
It can make that sort of tossback play pretty effective.
You just want to drop the egg and suddenly the team is struggling to get past the egg to help whoever got tossed back deep into the base
So there is this high ground defense potential there is and as I say sure they're only killing the support
But they are they're not pulling that far behind six K
It's six K, but I feel like a lot of other teams in a rawers position right now
They'd be so much further back hundred percent, but they have I mean these next few moments are critical for them
And because they're gonna run into these BKBs, they cannot let Paravision just get another Roche on.
If Paravision gets another Roche, it's gonna be super hard for Aurora to just defend this type of push.
We'll see what we're gonna get.
Mira.
Smoked up.
Does break.
Immediately gone on.
Playing this super well, so little cute things that they're doing as well, too Satanic is
using his Manta, Ducalus is running out with the illusion next to him, so it could feel
like, oh yeah, this is the Shadow Fiend, they're doing these little bait plays.
I'm trying to bait them there.
I think he's, I've watched him do it two or three times at least in this game so far
too.
So it's super on top of things here as we're seeing Paravision.
They're just constructing the map beautifully here.
And Nightfall he does have his harpoon, but very limited if he just gets caught in a stunt.
Kind of all of them at this point.
I got quite a few of those.
Oh yeah, everybody.
Aeon just picked up from Makoto, so we'll have one way to bail himself out of the place.
And Early Jam picked up from Power of Vision.
We've seen, I've been seeing way more like 20 to 26 minute jams.
I saw Skullfield buying one like every single game, so...
The team's really looking to capitalize and take over the map...
...pre-30 minutes.
Aurora...
WS should have his agonims!
Burn that potential fight around the Roshan pit, so we'll see if that's enough to protect him.
First with the insane burst.
The Pyrovision.
Get up to look for that Roshan here.
Continue to troll in the map, Kaori.
Looking for some farm outside here on the feedback.
We'll be okay.
See what the preparation is for Marora, and how they take that fight around the Roshan particular.
This does feel like that's what ParaVision's now kind of just waiting for.
Notice the bottom. He has BKB.
Looking at him.
Of course the BKB out.
Can they get out?
It's not a mirror I'd be able to.
I'll have to leave the bay in behind.
BKB charge for support death.
They tried. They tried to find this.
Catch at least.
Roached about a minute till it is going to spawn.
So it is going to synergize with his BKB cooldowns.
Satanic.
Look at that.
They're looking at WS.
There's the setup in the wreck, from a little up to the side!
Should be enough!
Yes, he's got axe!
Yeah, this time around he's going to be able to live!
Alright. Little bit mis-executed there this time around from Power Vision.
Can they strike back on Aurora? Nightfall wants to go back in here.
Oh, it's just-
Ooh!
Point over to get the cross, quick reactions, and in fact, Carlos, he's been found pretty deep there.
I'm with the combo, they'll burst the Wage Doctor!
Another support kill.
BKB still on cooldown for notice. Requiem was used. Aurora, they probably want to chase forward for more here.
Little difficult though.
Not the easiest form of just running in and catching heroes as we're seeing.
Nicoto has to be cautious of it and Mira time and time again has just walked in and died almost instantly, so...
Paravision with a bit of a slip up there, not connecting perfectly with their abilities.
maybe signs things to come you know that was an attempt on to a timbersaw that
didn't die true maybe WS has managed to get to that point despite how rough of a
start the game was for him notice it's gonna go and prevent the grant two
shots to be done to save mirror that dammit she's doing ready this point
The gunpowder gauntlet, of course, also helped me.
Roche is up.
Next point of contention.
How is Nacko doing on his BKB? He's pretty close to having it.
He's getting there.
If he can get that before this Roche on his MF, it would be huge for Aurora.
I mean, as I say, for a team that's lost, all their tier 1 towers, all their tier 2 towers, as early as they have, to only be 5K behind, is definitely something to be said here for Aurora.
The reason they're in this finals for sure, as we're seeing.
It's a Tannick.
Has hit level 20 as well.
Fun enough, it's the Portcatch.
That's a big support catch, though. It is the Phoenix.
One of the biggest team fighters that they have.
Oh man, should have been up for the free run, Sean.
Do you still try and do some room with the four of you?
Do you buy back?
That's what I'm thinking. This tiny half of BKB, he doesn't.
I think if he had it, they would buy back and look for the fight.
It's tough to say.
It's very risky if you don't win the fight and you go for the buyback if you
could just lose the game straight up right there. No one is in with the role
to zone them. Right onto the bay, Mirage Daddy get immediately. Dan, they're just
run away now immediately. I think if Nightfall had to be to be they might have
tried for it, but I think without it no way. Too risky. Too risky.
Titanic will get it, they've got the banner. Alright, here we go. Because now with this age,
that's the question. They want to get straight to the base of Aurora this
Yeah, this is the timing that I was looking so much at like this patch in particular when you get the second banner playing around these double catapults early super early on
This is the timing that a lot of teams are playing around when they can't push forward and these double catapults they're coming
It's 30 minutes now
So if they place the banner in this position that we've been also seen the
Higher level teams place when you don't place it for the creeps. You place it for the seeds
Yeah, that's something they could look for for the push here
And I nobody gonna really be able to step on it not by no right
Only the puck, but even then that's risky to show the two supports the range
But as we've seen if they get anywhere close they pretty much get two shots their fake range heroes
Do you know they've got like a 400 range?
Aurora looking to catch someone outside before paravision is fully set up
See if they can find this angle BKB on nightfall as we've said
Paravision look very prepared
I think at this game connection, they know they're here.
Forming the puddle.
Fresh agonies for this Florida.
WS breaks.
Jump!
In the opening!
They're gonna try and burst through the edges as quickly as they can, and they'll do it pretty quickly!
That's the edges gone!
See what they can do.
They're going for more, but the Malatix, Zip and Ovestan, and WS!
It's gonna get laid down onto the Timber so WS will die immediately to catch you down to Kory as well
So they might have got the Aegis, but they'll lose the Timber plus the two support
They used everything outside and the catapults are still up top. They popped a glyph to save them from nightfall
Oh, this is dangerous for Aurora here. That's the power vision. We're looking for the chance to get into the base with this Aegis
There's the banner. The Aegis gone, but the second life from Satanic
Should give them a lot of pushing power. I think they can't defend this
I think you have to split away. You have three heroes dead, and potentially you could lose two sets here.
Paravisions are so prepared for the jump from Aurora, no one's known everybody in the fight. They isolate WS.
And they've been holding on Aurora. Couldn't really quite find that fight that they needed to push Paravision.
Back is now inside the base. Paravision threatening a second set of barracks here with Static pushing on in the mid.
Oh, and this is, I honestly, Paravis is playing some of the most beautiful Dota I've seen in some time.
They have yet to lose a core. It's just the points getting hit.
That's pretty crazy.
Immediately backing away after getting the racks, and a very successful fight with that Aegis there.
And I fall.
What? They're gonna find him outside of the base?
Gotta try and help them out. They've got the Nightmare, which will get him down to the low ground and put the BKB in.
Run with Rolling Thunder, Cunjong to Kaori. He's out for 50.
They're just not letting them play. Aurora unable to get any connection. The BKB gets forced and it's just a BKB to run.
Hydra Breath already finished up for Satanic to a 6k difference between him and the Tiny.
A couple of these fights, I mean Aurora, they tried to go for a pretty risky play outside there.
Catching Paravis in off guard, but Paravis has not been off guard at all in this game.
DD Top also for Satanic.
9 class is already hunting, looking for Makoto here.
Pretty close though, they know he's around.
He's got the A on disc, so he's a little hard to bring down.
Showing the wave.
Nullifier is now finished up for no one, so they do have the answer versus the A on disc, as well as the agonims for the Timbersaw, which didn't even save him in that last time, too.
I thought he knows every game we see him play witch doctor he's owning. Oh, no. He just changed it
He's not buying agony. He just had a kid. Oh, he's got a kid up
No, and then just those but a hypermorphous there. You know what every game was in the agonies a little suit up
No, and he's like no, I probably should get a text is infinitely better in every situation
Don't buy it. I might change his mind again. No
He had a kid up. He had a kid up
I mean he'll buy it if they just win the game, like if they just double rocks there, right?
The hex is just infinitely better for a million different reasons, so...
Definitely feels just better.
Power vision, potentially looking to close it out very soon here.
Notice?
Too hard to bring down, super tanky.
Oh, WS? Now I did.
Hopefully I'm being stunned!
The death bolt's coming in, he's just dead for a minute, straight away!
Don't take out the supernova, but the grip's there!
The whole Titanic in position and keep the egg safe!
See if they can find any cores in return, though.
Nope.
No one's in on top of Nightfall.
Another cat.
Then he comes to an end, Nightclash back in with the hack, they put the lock down into the stun.
He's still pretty tanky, of course, on this Tiny.
To Nightfall, we'll try and run.
No one's going to look to chase him into the base.
Dive for for notice, won't get the crush on to Nightfall, he's away.
Nicoto, does get caught in the stun, has Aeon.
In the mid-frame.
He can't.
Another fighter's near that.
Paravision.
Cleaning up again.
Not losing your core.
Again, only losing the support, even saving the secondary one.
That's a beautiful dota.
Back to the base!
No one playing this pango pretty much perfectly as well too,
stoning everybody, getting the connections, ensuring it's a panic from standing around.
Vanessa and Aurora coming in with their best, but pretty much there is a fire drive in a game.
Because it is that classic that the panel talked about, the strategy of just saying,
where you can have your best stuff. It's a five-game series.
Let's at least give it a shot in the first game to see if we can beat you with the best stuff.
And they're beating them as you said, just so impressively,
with the fact that they're just not losing a single core at all.
Zero deaths on all three cores.
That's pretty unheard of, especially in the Grand Finals.
Mira just gets punched by 9th last year.
At this point, 9 finger stacks is starting to deal the damage as well.
At this point, 17k lead, it might have been moments earlier where it was looking that
Aurora, maybe they could build towards them, fight to turn this around, but at this point,
it's looking pretty much close to impossible.
The perfection of Paravisen is showing, oh, as I say that, instant jinx, it's the perfection
that Paravisen has done, but also these little slip-ups that Aurora has had, the defensive
coil, the single coil that didn't let them kill.
These mistakes have absolutely compounded when Paravision is playing like this, to cause
even going for an A on distance now, too, so he's like, okay, I'm kind of sick of that.
And honestly, Slax is probably watching this, and he's getting liberated because he hasn't
eaten the Green Green.
He's still got the Green Green.
And I just slacked him.
Slax never eats it.
That's a point booster into the Aghanim drive.
This is also the disrespect.
You just don't eat it at the end of the game and go, guys, I didn't even eat it.
That's what Slax does, by the way, so.
You can't put it on the floor though, can you?
You can't go full the up, unfortunately.
You usually just use it when you want to complete a full item, right?
But I guess he hasn't felt like he needed it this game.
Paravision backup, reset, playing it super safe, waiting for that next rush.
And this has got to feel good for 9-class, right?
Because the other day we saw him when he brought out the line, it was rough.
But here, he's going to feel very much vindicated.
He's turning up the day, and he's part of this kind of strategy that's completely destroying Aurora.
So, 9 class getting to show that his line can absolutely suck.
Yeah, I haven't noticed, honestly, we're super clutched in this game, right?
Being able to get the early kill, the first blood.
Yep.
They made sure that the Slardar wasn't shut down.
Like I said, a lot of these games, when I've seen Slardar suffer, is when he has no start to the game.
This game, he's had a perfect game.
All the cores...
Aurora have to mount some type of crazy wombo-combo teamfight here.
Paravision, we'll see.
You know if they can close the game up without the temptation to fountain die
Because it would be a shame if they win the game and then one of the cause dies in the fountain
Oh, we don't need the kind of the zero death
Gonna get caught in the bottom lane!
So much damage
I mean they...
I think they can just close it up or after
Yeah, he's definitely rating her by back on him
So, that might be that
That's super impressive
Another D-word
And without their carry
Let's see what they can do.
No one has the roll at the ready.
I'm sorry, does have the roll at the ready.
Just look at it.
They don't know he doesn't have buyback, right?
So they're not just gonna full go in.
Show off the gold.
Quite a bit, though, 1200 away.
Feels close each.
It's a tannic, Master Madness being swapped in once they get some health restoration back here.
Getting back up to full, 30 seconds, still no tiny.
Nine class easy chance, he might just go in.
With the Lord down to straight away with a vision there, let's make the jump on to Makoto,
so get the start of the other jump on to the side defense and Nightmare's there.
WS, he's got the barrier coming up. It's enough to keep him safe for now since Tim Machado went supernova.
He's gonna get quickly dealt with, and now they'll go over to Osmira, put a stop to the field,
go straight to his low, but he'll get healed up as the buybacks are coming out.
But it probably does not matter as the racks are exposed.
ParaVision looking to get the mega creeps. The buybacks will come out in full force.
And Nifle is back in the game, so ParaVision will respect that and back off.
It's the retreat back up and reset again still don't lose the core
They bail each other out perfectly the grip almost good enough there to bring down satanic with the rest of them and clean up the fight
The final battle for Aurora
Trying to step outside and find an angle
BKB still on cooldown for the side of power vision, but they're still ready for the fight the role is back up for no one here
They know fight here for Aurora
What can they do 9 full?
He ended up with a combo looking over towards the line, but the heals come out, keeping Night Blaster alive.
He's still alive, finally fought, but it took so much.
And now the death was down on the WS, as well as the Malachi taking heavy damage from Static.
They were so ready.
WS out for 100, Kaori caught by the crush, they've had enough.
Gigi has been caught, and...
You're all cores died.
Crazy, and here in the Grand Finals, and against a lineup,
But Aurora, I think they couldn't have really asked for more when it came to what they got as options for the hero picks.
This is the Aurora lineup, but they couldn't kill a single core.
That was honestly, yeah, it's Grand Finals. This was some of the more beautiful dota I've seen from Paravizion.
Aurora making some slip ups, which absolutely compounded, but damn, they got everything that they wanted,
and now you're going to have to go into this next draft.
What do you even do in the natural banter?
Well, we just got to try kind of a Platinum B because our Platinum A didn't work out at all.
Yeah, look at the building damage in particular.
Satanic 20,000 and on the side of Aurora, they barely even hit a building.
It was 500 building damage coming up from the puck.
Couldn't even take any fights either. Super impressive.
Yeah, that is so scary stuff from ParaVision here.
In this game, one of the grand finals, we'll see how Aurora picked themselves back up
because they're going to have to pick themselves up pretty hard after that beatdown.
Paravision with game one
Well at this rate Paravision is just gonna steamroll this grand finals not a single core died Kather that's mental
Yeah, that's that's a pretty bad sign, but yeah, it's not only about the draft
There's a lot of gameplay in this game that did not go their way
So you know in order for this view of five take it as like a starting game
Wake up do something different and you got to bring better gameplay into this next game
I completely agree. I think you could talk about draft and you'd say this lane is really hard for Timbersaw and this and that
And while that may be true, I think lanes are often a product of how you feel going into the lanes
So much of the lanes decided in the first few seconds how the clicks do how the first couple of CSR how the first trade goes
That stuff is very impactful and when I watched the game for Aurora
They just felt less comfortable a little skittish whereas Paravision is the aggressors the entire game. They were just taking it to them
Yeah, I think it's like also like when you go into a bad lane, in this case, Timber and Thustaff obviously not great,
but you you can play it to the maximum of its ability and I think there'll be a spin, you know,
knowing that like I have to auto-perform in order for this lane to be good for me ends up putting himself in some bad positions,
taking some bad CS, getting raised a little bit too much, and then they just like it compounds. It gets even worse because of that.
Yeah, and I mean Paravision just didn't make any mistakes after that point.
Like I mean, I guess that's what I'm worried about for Aurora is that I agree with you guys
It feels like there's something wrong and I guess my question is for you guys who've been a lot of grand finals like
What conversation needs to happen after a game like that? Like how do you?
Go from that to actually having a competitive game to when there's clearly nerves that are happening
I mean my biggest takeaway from the finals we had that where we got smacked
I didn't work we got smacked anyway
But I think you need to be honest with each other about how you feel like if it actually is a vibe problem
You feel that in the air you feel that coming out the people
I think you need to be honest about how you feel and all the people to be honest and like sort of clear the air in a way
I think it's not easy to do it can be a coach me one of the players
But I think one person sort of has to start the chain reaction of is little tense like I'm a little nervous
I didn't play that well this game and then other people can step up and and ease some of that burden
they can stay with some of their own stuff and you can sort of clear the air and go into
game 2 with like a lighter burden.
I also think whenever you share these kinds of things with each other it becomes like
yeah we're all feeling it.
You know it's like us against this feeling rather than you being alone and now you're
grieving your teammates or something.
But I mean I honestly think a lot of this game like they didn't play well but I think
they didn't play well because they weren't comfortable with the positions that they're
in.
And I think this has been a trend for them in the tournament when their matchups aren't
good.
I think they're an extremely strong team when they're playing from a position of power.
And I think that's the main thing they have to try to figure out, of how can we end up
in a position where we are playing the heroes, or we're playing them in two matchups that
we also like.
Because I think here they got absolutely smashed in that direction.
I don't think they should overthink too much, like, oh, our heroes are bad, or they don't
work anymore, we can't play timber for the rest of the finals, but rather how can we
make timber work, or how can we make puck work?
And I think to add on to that, I agree, if they still want to play the Timber, I think
it's very good, but then to add on to Quinn's point, if WS is like, yo, I just played this
matchup and I don't want to do it again, it's okay to skip it.
So I think it's important to go with the emotions and what feels good, because you can see it
in all these clips.
My bro, he is just, it's so hard for him to play this lane.
And while it is a hard lane, I think there's a very fine line between losing your lane
and getting bodied, because this is top level getting owned.
This is the type of thing that you learn over a long time, that it shouldn't happen or rather it's illegal.
But you know, this is also where Pirates, you know, they come in, they have good bans, they understand this,
they've crafted this lane and this overall matchup.
And the secondary thing, when this team has a good early game, they're very good at moving around the map.
They're going to open up the tier one, Satanic will then always go into the enemy triangle,
they will keep going aggressive, he then goes to the mid tier one.
And this network of discrepancy is nasty.
Like this is near, it's very close to unplayable.
And I think also like from the mid game. This is a cool move that they do
You know you show your satanic bottom with the ages you smoke across the map
You get this kill and even now if you want to go back to your team
They can still go and TP to the outpost the thing
It's like a very clutch move like the mid game how they play the map so party
I think they just played way better in this game
They did for sure they did for sure and I think just out to the point about like you know when you're playing as a
Smurf in the pub like you know this guy smurfing you saw every about his profile says like rampage
You know everything like every game hundred games play
I'm wondering the tanker like yeah, you think like the way you deal with it is you don't die to him
Like you know, he's gonna be you but you just don't feed it
You don't give him a bunch of extra gold and then eventually you kill him as a team
You know you come together the guys expecting to just like smurf on all of you guys and that's like satanic in this game
Right, I think like they didn't they didn't give him the smurf treatment
He got to get go like 5-0 out of his lane and you were not a hero
I didn't get to play whereas, you know in a losing matchup. You just have to respect the smurf. I like the smurf treatment
That's a good expression.
You can use that.
I will steal it.
We were focusing a lot on how Aurora got demolished in this game, which you know, fair enough they did.
I also want to focus on ParaVision because they did play very well, very team,
and it did seem like this draft was specifically tailored to deal with the WS team we saw
and with everything that Aurora brought to the table.
Can they recreate that regardless of what heroes Aurora will bring to the table?
Was this just clean play all around quick?
It was definitely very clean play. I think they played amazing and I think the Kesui's point about them actually opening the towers and the way they joined heroes together is I think the biggest differentiator of this team compared to everyone else is I think they take the early lane advantage and they run with it.
They actually like even though they're not getting a kill at these two towers, right? They bring numbers and they just secure the area and they use that area and they keep swooping to another place. They don't back up.
back up, whereas I think a lot of teams right now, especially in weaker positions,
tend to, they get an objective and they walk backwards.
And that has a really big impact on the map because you're not pushing waves.
And then it means you're like, you're not connecting across like this,
which means you keep control.
So I think a lot of these like small movements they make are just like,
they're a notch ahead.
I think honestly, no other team in the tournament is doing these things the way
they are. And I think that's a big reason why they have been so dominant.
This, this is a really cool storyline in my opinion, because I know they didn't
always do that.
They didn't always agree on this.
Like they talked about interviews after
Estini left the team after they split up that there were
a lot of it was because of like differences in how they were playing the map.
Like Estini is very following the flow chart and they said they wanted to be more free.
And so there was all these roster issues, you know, puppy coming in,
things looked rough for them.
They looked OK, not good enough to win tournaments.
So it's really cool to see them
Like stick it out and then get to this point where it looks clean from like every angle their gameplay. Like you said looks really clean
The drafting looks really clean
They did the puppy thing of leaving everything for Aurora in and they actually have the capability of executing any game
It's amazing to see it was a great first game for
her vision Aurora that
KP is got tough job ahead of him
Okay, he needs some some good they need to have some good talking to his team to lift spirits and go next for a game number two
We are going to take a break before that, but I want you to make sure to keep your eyes
on the screen because we have some ST content coming your way.
Gentlemen, you have heard and observed the trial of a Borg case number 87.
It is your duty as our jury to separate the facts from the fiction.
One man's dope career's at stake, and you must all arrive at a unanimous decision of innocence or guilt.
Well, gentlemen, who would like to start?
I just can't see him being guilty.
I mean, there's simply no way he would get whoever
cheating for over 17,000 matches and not get caught.
But he did get caught.
But it is a fair point.
A mighty fine build, though.
Shadowblade Arcturin.
Now I can't go over to become Wreck-It evidence
for some circumstantial advance.
You're right.
It cannot be a crime to be good at D-Ward.
Well, that's the whole God-N-Out plot with a picture of Slug.
Well, it sounds like we're on agreement then.
I think we just take a vote and get this over with.
So I've got to go home and snap cops and spubs.
Well, let's see.
Not guilty.
Not guilty.
Not guilty.
not guilty guilty I say who was it he is clearly guilty just because he's
invisible doesn't mean that the evidence is so what are we missing them
remember the very first piece of evidence that we saw he ran straight for
the wall and he knew exactly where it was. He simply located it using shadow
dans. Now what about it? I know how Slok Alt walks. I didn't mention the most
important part. He was standing in the middle of a creep wave. Maybe he already knew where the
Now, you wouldn't have found that ward, would you?
No, I don't think I would have.
Fine, now. That is a bit odd.
But one shaded e-woman does not prove guilt.
Okay, fire. Let's move on to the second piece of evidence.
The smoking gun.
gun. Now what intonation are you talking about? During one of the D-Walls, Slark was
literally under the effect of smoke of deceit, meaning he could not possibly have
detected it using Shadow Dance. Hold on a second here boys, I think this
These fond gentlemen's arm or something.
Well, I still don't know.
I mean, how could he have even been cheap?
Now let me put the final nail into Kalf.
A detail that has gone overlooked.
Almost every single D-Ward that this slark has made
has been two minutes after the original ward was placed.
So what, meaning that all he had to do
was simply spectate himself?
Dear God, who would do such a despicable thing?
Absolutely disgraceful.
Gentlemen, I think we all done him.
Let's do another vote.
I'm not gonna get through this.
I don't think I'll get through this.
I'm gonna get through this.
I'm not gonna get through this.
Guilty. Guilty. Not guilty. All right, which one of you was it? Because he's guilty and
one of you is wasting my time, so I want to know which one of you is it?
Now we've all been convinced, and yet you stand alone. I don't care if I'm alone. It's
Am I right?
It is you're right.
But we want to know why.
You still think he's innocent.
None of this has convinced me.
Just because someone happened to find a few wards, they deserve no priority.
Now now.
You know that's not what this is.
But it could be.
How can we know for sure?
Well, there's a mountain of evidence.
Enough to convince all of us.
I just don't want an innocent man to be sent to low priority, like I was.
What now?
I was playing faces void.
I bought five too many battlefields, and all of a sudden, I'm playing ten games of low priority.
No one deserves that.
Now, hold on a second, did you at least buy an axe in those games you bought the Balfurys?
What do you mean, games?
I bought all five in the same game.
Agonyms.
I didn't even think about agonyms.
I didn't buy an agonyms.
He's guilty.
Guilty. I sentence you to 15 low priority games and 50 low effort reddit posts.
I don't know what to think after that one!
That one for a nation was that!
Nice acting, Geng. Nice acting.
Keep it up. Keep it up. Keep it up.
That was a good team, guys.
Yeah, I don't know why we did that.
Shut the back-up career ready.
Ryan carried that one for you.
Ryan could've used the whole heart.
He slept.
That was very good, what Paraphevision didn't get, number one was also really good and we're gonna find out is the talk that Aurora has had, must have had after that first game.
Bore some fruit because it better have, not even for winning in two but at least make Aurora feel more comfortable so that they actually can play some dota and senior because I feel like this game, they were just locked in the corner and basically waiting for dynamize.
It's hard, right? You pick your best heroes and that's just a match-up issue.
So like, you need to try to do it, but in better match-ups, they actually end up picking timber again.
Aha! And leaving SF, which it's very based, but is it a good based or a bad based?
Is this exactly the same then?
Yes, it's identical.
Oh, great! Yeah.
I mean, the last time I remember a Ror doing this was against the best of three against Liquid,
in which they ended up losing the best of three.
They ran the draft back up until like the last pick or something like this.
They change one little detail and then lost the game anyway, so I wonder if they have a significant change
It's actually gonna fix this if it's a different hero in lane if it's more pressure elsewhere like something right?
Okay, the woody ban so that there's the difference
It's very I'll be very shocked if it's enough if it's just the woody problem
That's it and then the timbers lane is like fine because I feel like you could probably replace him with a bunch of other heroes
That would accomplish similar things. I don't really feel like it's unique enough in that way
I mean I guess so it gives you like a lot of damage that maybe some other heroes
wouldn't there's one other team like now it would open up a hero like
potentially so they'll just go for the line again which I think was pretty good
and like there's the fact that maybe it's not one of his most fateros on 9
class but it showed that Aurora were a little bit like off of something like
obviously Mira still got to play Bane which is a great hero but I think there
was something missing and overall for parry I agree I don't think the witch
doctor is enough there must be like a separate bigger idea you can still go
like clockwork on parry and like put that somewhere or find a different replacement.
Yeah, and I think Aurora, they still have to take Bane here, right? Because otherwise you're
going to get Bane, you're going to get Bane as Shadowfiend, which is like arguably an even
stronger lane than the Witch Doctor. I do think you have to be, they go for it again. I think
Bane is just not very good against Shadowfiend as part of the problem, because Bane likes
people that sort of come into him so you can grip them or heroes that, like he just likes
When you come close to him shadow fiend is very far away so you can cast in feeble
But you can't cast nightmare or grip on shadow fiend realistically in a team fight
So the practicality of it is is very odd like sure already playing his line to cancel your thing
They've got two more picks because you saw it last game
I don't know if there was a single grip that did anything really
I mean I think the only grips that I saw got cancelled within the first two
Yeah, you just got and the other thing with us that's like SF hurts like you use your standing still when you're gripping someone
So if you're not gripping a stuff for whatever reason you have you're almost guaranteed going to die for it
Like you'll hit you three times and you're just off the screen
But yeah, don't get back to Phoenix day
I think it seems like they think this witch doctor really was like the major
major issue that they had or they're gonna just to stay keep it like I
What I think is like cool about this is Aurora at least they recognize that you know
These are our best heroes probably the conversation they had outside is like well
We don't have anything better to present. Well, we can't try to change up this what we're facing up against, right? Yeah
Okay, this is either a really good way to restore confidence if the result is different
or it is a really good way to just shatter every confidence level you have in these heroes
because it's... come on!
This is unusual.
Unusual.
I thought also, like after seeing like the swap of the silencer, like you know a carry
that is going to help you play the map or at least like builds Mantle like nicely against
Slotter and silencer would be more on the menu, but they just want to run back the same thing
I mean granted he bought Manta anyway last game on tiny but it's not in my mind
That's not really the item you want to buy you're okay buying it, but you don't love it
All right, the other bands are you saw coming out where the Void spirit in the clean of pain
after we spoke pangal picked
It's literally it's literally a run it back now. I like the silence her a lot in this draft. Yeah
It's it's super good against timber. He spams a lot of stuff in the lane doesn't like to get silenced
Obviously, you can cancel the Grip from Vayne and it's like one of the hardest counters to Phoenix. It sucks to play Phoenix into this.
Slightly different though.
They left the Void Spirit.
Yeah, I feel like Void Spirit with this kind of amplification from like Sordar and SF is like crazy strong.
I generally am not a big fan of Void Spirit in general, but I feel like in this kind of game it looks just like to me, I'm just put lonely.
I feel like it's not like they've adjusted, but I feel like they've adjusted the wrong things.
If I'm honest, I don't know if conceptually the draft changes that much just by taking out Pangler and Blitztocker.
I'm kind of inclined to agree. I think if anything, they should have deviated on the 18 pick to a harder lane counter.
I think this last phase can change things significantly, and I actually really like the Puckbat comparison in this game
because I think Void Spirit is just not the same tier of hero as Pangler is, and I think that matchup is more two-sided.
Um, and so I liked that they're like, okay, we beat it once, but we're not gonna like push our luck because we think you don't have better options
I think that is a cool deviation in Paravision
What do we think then about this last pick because you have to do it?
I mean obviously it's blind because parry will either last pick a new myth or if you give them the option soda will just go middle
What's in the pool against QWAP?
Against QWAP. What would you play?
Okay, there it is
So I think a lot of the heroes that call page swing against I mean viper's band again. Yeah, um, I
Mean sniper is a classic
Puck is banned
But the thing was like what we talked about after last game too. It's like sniper stuff kind of like it's kind of bad
Do the same ember and maybe oh I'm using the poya
I mean ember is a gimme to be honest good mage layer by or two if you want that in this game
Yeah, it's also a game where you don't really need BKB you can buy vessel and mage layer
Yeah, he's invoker never good against qualp. It is good against qualp. Yeah
I think it falls into a similar category, a little different than Sniper, where you've
kind of got two greedy guys who play a similar sort of back-range damage guys, whereas Ember
enables your Shadowfiend more.
You first pick the Shadowfiend, he's playing against some heroes that are good against him,
so you want to enable him and make him able to play against those heroes that are good
against him.
I think the old, like if it was like a Kwas Vex in Volmetta, then it's like it could have
worked better.
I think the X-Rod one here is maybe a little bit too many turrets.
It's still a great Invoker game.
Yeah, it's definitely very possible, and I imagine that's kind of what they're
contemplating is between Invoker and Ember, because no one's very competent at both.
Yeah, I personally would prefer the Ember a little bit just because the way I see it is that
slaughter S have already give you like a lot of damage. I mean then you're
amplifying what you already have, whereas I would value maybe the like
slight catch or like the pokiness a bit more. I mean I think the drawback to
Ember is if you have a poor laning phase for whatever reason, you don't really
have damage without S, because Lion, Silencer are not high damage heroes, neither is
So if for whatever reason your lanes don't go well, if there's some nice movements coming out from Aurora,
let's say they just completely abandon the Timberlane and they start focusing and shutting down the Sardar,
playing around the Ember, then there is potential damage issues there.
I'm really intrigued to see the difference of the offlane.
Like last game WS got bodied, he should not get... I mean it's not a great lane, but it's...
no way it will be the same as the last one.
Just don't get Smurfed on.
Yeah, just don't get Smurfed on.
Let him free farm, it's fine. Don't feed him 4 kills, it'll be A-OK.
I don't overall love like the adjustments they made. I think it's better and it's easier for him to play so I give them better chances
But I would prefer to be part of this time again
Yeah, I do think it is better though
Like I think
Ember is not as good as Pangalore is against Ember like Ember against Ember in the long stretch can have serious damage issues
Don't buy Lotus naturally approach your stuff you can mage flier
But you also don't really kill him without backup like you said the shadow fiend being sort of the crux of all their damage
So there there are elements there that I think are slightly better for or at the end of the day
I think this is very bold like you see where you said at the beginning like I think if you lose twice the same draft
Your cheer like emotions are shattered
There's something ironic about doing this puppy of all people
Just straight up run it back like I respect it a lot
I mean if you have no better like if this is genuinely our best heroes
We've gotten to this point in the tournament because even playing these heroes. Why not run it back?
Why not make some slight adjustments rather than overreacting and picking a bunch of stuff?
with no clue what we're doing on.
So I genuinely think like this is not,
it doesn't strike me as one of those like,
they're not doing it in a stupid way.
I think they're doing it in a smart way.
Are the adjustments good enough or not?
I don't know.
And the only way to find out is by watching them play,
I think.
They might have had a discussion that you wanted them
to have, Quinn, where everybody was like,
if I just did this little thing different on the line,
it would have been so much different.
And if everybody had that,
it can easily come to the conclusion,
yes, just run it back.
Yeah, I think I think what is very true is a good way to do it and there's a
stupid way to do it. I think this definitely leans more in the good
direction. It's just a matter of was it enough? Yeah, it's important like how
they feel. I think whether it's right or wrong that they can internalize that we
feel good about that like what they just did with their decisions. Yeah, that not
someone is like guys we really should be sure. No, I believe that they're all on
the same page and game two is just gonna be different. That is what Aurora
believes of course para vision things the results going to be the same once again
let's find out how it actually will play out in game number two with 30px of fog and the pokejampon
And two time ladies and gentlemen here in the Grand Finals of Dream League season 29
it's Farah versus Aurora.
We're still at the top of the stage, quite a lot of stage.
Here are actually right, so don't worry, next is the steam draft.
Okay, there we go, so spoilers for the game free-drop, because indeed, as Aurora showed,
they're saying, you know what, it didn't work out in the game one, but...
...that's the flight change up here, and as the panel said, as Aiden said, right, if this has been working for you,
this sort of style, this sort of pitch for most of the tournament, at least give it a second shot in the grand finals,
because maybe it works out a bit better this time, right?
Maybe, but on WS, you might just die immediately here, it does get a little bit of fuel, he'll be all right,
Gonna have to walk back to the base. At least he moves a little bit faster with the chain
But immediately aggression up to him. Yep. I mean run it back, right?
Overall for Paravision a very similar if not exactly similar with the Ember spirit change up gonna be playing with that mage layer build to
Be reducing the damage and let's see bottom how that lane ends up being if it's gonna be better for WS
I think that's the key thing at least for me to look at cuz like they mentioned on panel. He got to shut down
Right like he got you got completely pushed out the lanes and gave us
He was pretty much similar net worth to the support's power vision for quite a bit of that out of the game
And he gave so much right the Titanic was quite far ahead of his counterpart very early on
So let's see the difference is going to be the witch doctor
The silencer does have its own merits in this game of course since it's into the Phoenix
It's into the vein probably one of the best backline supports versus these two because you can just click gobel right stop the fiend script
Stop an egg that's potentially coming out in top lane
Let's see if there's a different outcome, because they did get first blood on K-Roy.
They got this K-Roy.
Same exact way.
And he had a pretty great game last game, no it's just on the slot out, I mean they're all dead.
They all did on Baravision.
They have pretty much the exact same manner, as soon as the four Fire Spirits are used,
they go for the aggressive play with the double stun and they'll be able to find that kill.
So at least in this top lane, starting the same here.
Mid lane, Mikoto actually did pretty great in that matchup as the puckers.
He did get really good, like in the lane right, he kind of came out pretty much like a thousand got ahead of him though.
Well Steve, obviously what he could do this time around and if the lead will matter a little bit more,
so obviously in the end, still wasn't able to do too much as the part of the game went on in that first game.
What do you sort of make of his chances this game as a quad?
Still doesn't, it's Mikoto's specialty, so Phil has to play him, but he is playing into the similar kind of problem that I was mentioning last game.
in the last game, nine classes fine with playing the lion in these games because it counters
Mikoto's entire hero pool. And they will have a global plus the last word potential from
the silencer to stop him too. So it doesn't look the easiest, but it does provide them
more damage as the game progresses.
That's Carlos, be a little careful down on the bottom lane, very low on the HP.
Doesn't have the healing that the witch doctor had of course built in.
The mirror's looking for him, but honestly Carlos might have just been doing that as
a bit of a bait.
It's still low. The mirror's hunting for him. Let's go just get him.
I'm on a ferry fire, so we'll be alright.
WS is getting way more already though.
Then the last time he's already up to the 10 last hits, so they're able to put some pressure at least to stop Ducalis from zoning him as hard.
Yeah, because pretty much the last time it was just Maladik on him on the first few waves and Ducalis was able to zone him under the tier 1 tower before he could actually turn up to the lane, which made for a bit of a tricky start.
That's already going to be a much better opening into the game for WS, and he has been quite
pivotal for this team, I will say.
His axe performance in some games, this tamer in some of these games has been pretty ridiculous,
so wisdom contest.
Mira, not going to be able to fight this, has to let this go to Paravigium.
I can't trade for Slaith's, this early is very difficult as well as most of these four
positions.
And I imagine, to Carlos, probably going to feel pretty good about the fact that his
to play force Aurora to ban out a witch dog together.
When was the last time we saw a witch dog to ban at all?
Very true.
Yeah, I mean, he's absolutely putting a statement out of it, right?
Other teams are going to have to think about it
if you are playing these super tanky, quote-unquote
off-laners in a lot of situations.
Top, they're actually doing even better in this lane
on the side of Paravision.
They're shutting down the tiny as well.
He only sports teams PS on Nightfall.
And I got to get a lot of damage done to him here.
Put Grenade out.
Looking for the hack, turn for Kaori.
Rush, and the bash, and the stun, that'll do it.
Another kill here for the two of them, no system, nine class.
Nine class is playing this lane beautifully.
He actually blocked the small camp as well beforehand.
Now it does spawn, but he's preventing Kaori from getting that level three,
which is a strong period for Phoenix in the laning phase.
Beautifully done for the two of them as they did last game as well,
but even better this time around.
Bottom lane?
Thank you, five.
We're starting to see a player again.
Stayed Tannick on the SF last time, he was exactly what to do to bully the Tim, but he's doing it again here, getting that kill.
Meanwhile, open the mid, Kaori comes back into action, helps Mikoto chase down no one and get the kill mid, so whatever happens, at least this game Aurora, they've managed to kill a Corefold.
They have already, so doing better than the last game it does feel like already here.
And Mikoto, set up for more success.
In this matchup for sure too.
This rotation from Kaori, but that it does mean, right?
Nightfall, he's gonna suffer.
Because of that rotation as well, he's already very limited in terms of resources.
And get WS.
She's like, why's he covering?
We cannot walk up and die like that too many times in the Shadow Fiend.
It does not want to get him enabled.
And that's just the one who lose to him infertally.
Definitely don't want to die because that sounds too much to me, aren't you?
Okay, early ward placed in river from Dukala, so expecting rotations around the mid lane.
Aurora.
Because these tidelights aren't really that easy to play around, it does make sense, right?
They're not going to really help the timber too much more.
The tiny late is also quite hard, so it does make sense that we see these wards from PowerVision to just pick.
Okay, they're going to play around with Kodo.
Already seen 9th class making the move toward mid to catch Kodo off guard here potentially.
They've got pretty good control right.
They can change as well.
Not enough damage though, but very, very close.
Might still have to be careful while he's walking up here.
And he might get fly-a-viston.
It's a longer call down than usual.
And he's got the fairy fire.
The glyph.
If he hits the chains.
His buddy is asking for help.
I was going to say nine classes.
Like, hey, come back and kill Karora.
It's a little easier.
Nine classes will die for it.
But it does mean that no one's able to quickly pick up the exchange.
And no one does get the sticks up for this, too.
So yeah, potentially get both, which never really is.
Mira might cause some issues.
She tries to time it.
So if it was there, he would have been able to get it.
That's a nice coverage there for no one.
It doesn't matter to get it top, T'Kars is going to take a sonic wave to the face, and Makoto is cut the blink off.
So he'll get away.
So, doesn't at least get a kill with that, but that is the first sonic wave.
And in the river, ParaVision will not go empty-handed, nine glass and no one able to find Mira.
Sacrificing themselves, but as you said, yeah, it is a sonic wave used for support, so not one of those big core kills at the moment.
Because they would have loved to sort of have that right to maybe piece together a chance of punishing Satanic.
In particular the SF, yeah, that's the one that's more vulnerable in terms of that burst early on.
Are still gonna make them move, Mira.
Gonna try to sleep them under tower here.
Actually gets the rage.
D'Kal's gonna immediately take it off and sacrifice himself.
Here's the Hick. Goodbye SF.
Leave me be.
Just give them sacrifice themselves.
Time and time again, the Shrines won't be contested this time, so Aurora will be able to back up and get these unlike last time.
So much better opening for the supports this game also. Kiyori will get some extra levels here
Not having absolutely no game and this time Nightfall is having a much worse time so
I was gonna say on the network for WS that she might be lower than his network was thanks one last game
Yeah, I think so too. I'd actually look a little worse better for me code
Oh, I'm actually this looks worse across the board. I guess this is okay
Maybe this is worse this time round.
The supports are doing better though.
Sure.
Yeah, that's where the difference is this time you're right.
There's the port star.
I mean, you're better at time button terms.
Of course, it might actually be a bit rougher.
Yeah.
Satanic looks like they are trying to set up a plan to give it the supports
and no one are already making the move down.
There's going to have to wreck him ready and we'll threaten it.
The stun.
Going to catch on to WS.
He's going to be dead again.
Oh my god.
Another kill, minus one.
No one finding quite a lot in this mid game too here with these rotations.
His erin is going to be picked up pretty soon, but they find they do kill satanic.
They do. They do.
They just blow him down.
Yeah, Makoto, as you say, is going to have to carry super hard entering into the mid game,
because WS and Nightfall, they need time and WS on Timon needs a lot of time.
Worryed about how big noticed this. We talked so much about Zotanic in this last game, but it really was noticed a lot of the game leading the charge with a zero-death slaughter, pretty much jumping any target he hit once.
And it's another one of those games where it does look quite good for the slaughter, if he does get that advantage, he does have to follow up.
Try WS, let's see how you recover. Listen if you can, because they always do have this kill threat onto you.
Thank you.
Yeah, and even more so once they have the six onto Carlos and he's very close to it.
So once the globals there, honestly WS might have to think twice before he ever shows it
in this bottom lane alone.
And overall Aurora has to always be aware of when it's up too, because if they do use
a fiend's grip or potential dive and hold onto an egg, you might not be able to hold
it as long as you usually want to when that silence is available.
But the egg is available quite early, so Kiaria as we said it.
supports having a bit of a better time here. Very high damage ability when you have it
this early on here.
Yeah, it was well last game was pretty brutal on the levels because they did lose control
of their wisdom in seven minutes.
Another kill from a coach, I'm getting a lot done here. Amp damage as well for him. Able
to find these FOMO grabs. The build that he's queuing up here, so wants to have that protection.
I mean, versus the chains and versus the global in particular.
and get some armor. Pretty good. Not the usual build you do see for the Queen of Pain, but...
I'm getting some objectives.
Now it's the last game, they did struggle to get these tier 1 towers.
No one is making the move down.
Still don't quite have the global yet.
Can they disengage? They should be able to protect WS.
So forcing reactions of their own. We're seeing much more confidence, I would say, in Aurora this time around too.
Like, last time they were playing very defensively as PowerVision dictated the pace of the game entirely.
This time, forcing some type of reaction, forcing a move here.
There's that blink though, so notice, can't start to get involved and open up things for his team also.
This creep mid.
I'm just gonna get denoted. The next creep mid!
Will we give Ducalus the XP? 4, level 6?
Mira gets level 6, but they instantly go on him as well.
Got the catch.
Both the midlaners.
They're getting a lot of action. Yeah, getting a lot done
And notice the blink is finished. They're looking for an immediate small catch
Catch Makoto. Makoto, all nightfall would be the big catch here. Yeah, Makoto, definitely the bigger of the two
Yeah, they want that money
Tower under pressure here to Kaori rotating over has the egg available fiends grip as well too. Have to be ready for the global though
Mama's part of Aurora. It's gonna show
Now Brown coming in, there's the jump, and there's the globe, but a fall off, they've got the burst with the finger immediately taking Makoto out of the fight.
On plus, look at that behind for this, as the TPs did come in from Aurora, they'll get the trade.
Can they get more? They're trying to take out T'Karlis.
Lotus, he doesn't even use it.
He doesn't even use it.
The tree though, it's not going to kill him.
Okay, now he will use it. He did the math.
Global aggressive play, notice the ready again with the blink dagger to make another move here.
WS will get every gen, at least deny that away from the Ember spirit.
The Mikoto gets brought down, and they only lose support for it.
That was the one they were looking for, and they find it.
Mira still has Grip available if they do want to make another play around this tower here.
But the Egg was used, their main teamfight ability.
They're all during this, and he's chilling.
He's got the Mask of Madness, farming at a much faster pace than the Tiny at the moment here.
WS is he is not recovering on it
It's looking tough if they don't manage to kind of swing this game back around Aurora
Probably gonna be seeing the game three draft have a bit of a different start. Well, that's not a mirror said
That's true. He said same job
So maybe it did that we'll try it again. No class
We'll find a pick up get nightfall involved
They're trying to take advantage of this global cooldown at the moment.
Don't get the catch on him.
It's a panic, we'll just leave him.
They don't care if I save for their supports.
It's not something you can spend anything big there either.
Yeah, last time round letting the supports die was a pretty good strat for paravision.
10 to 10, but as we've been saying, the Timbersaw is really having a difficult time catching
up in there.
Always do have great kills, but at first it's him in this game.
Not as much as last time, no maledict.
Let's go very high.
And more preventative, I'm waiting to see what Hagi no one did do, like we were talking
about as well too.
He's going to go Vassal, Intimate Slayer, so he's going to be that preventative, he's
going to be able to reduce the damage as well of the enemies.
So there's a lot of magic damage on the side of Aurora early in terms of teamfighting.
Nightfall, not for some time to get involved.
That's K.O.R.Y. doing on his vessel.
He is quite farmed on the Phoenix too, so it could be the difference maker.
Global's back up. Paravision, looking to hit.
Mira.
The catch up has stopped. Very dead.
Very dead.
They were waiting for a bigger catch if you saw there.
Notice did not actually want to jump onto the bane initially.
You wanted to go for the big target because they still have global available.
Kyori.
Another low you can do on his own down here against the tonic.
We'll finish up that vessel though.
So was able to greet it up down here.
Keep the lane pushed forward.
Has to be careful to not get caught though because he is quite rich.
he will give up a lot to the side of Power Vision if he does get caught.
Noticed Farm is just still pretty ridiculous on this Lardar.
We'll be able to get the Shard pretty much immediately at that 15 and even have a secondary
small item in between.
So Power Vision.
A little more slowed down this game, but still in a very comfortable spot to be able to put
the pressure onto Aurora at the moment here in Nightfall. He's not able to just sit back
and hit the creeps as effectively. It's a panic, just having that liberty.
It can't get caught. They've got the opening! Another finger step! And that's a rich Phoenix
like we were saying, so it's a lot of money that they do get from it. Night class he knew.
Mira is looking to set a trap, but they have to know where the silencer is, because if
you do not see him, he's just kind of global on your grip and he actually is seen. Mira
They're going to have eyes on him.
Very good.
It's going to be another one that no one can get involved in, continue to be incredibly
active all over the map.
I actually feel like it's an even harder Bane game.
It's significantly harder Bane game than the last time versus this time.
It's so hard to play.
Not only do they have the crazy amount of stuns, but you can just hold global.
Lakoto.
Swinging and meatfully torquing mid to get the tank set up.
Into the crush!
Globals there as well!
The bash comes through into the stun.
They've got so much control right now to shut down this qualp.
Does he bottom? They're gonna look for Satanic.
Can they get him? They don't have stuns?
Oh, Nightfall's in!
They have to have a launch.
A massive kill, at least for Aurora to find in return.
They take Satanic out.
Nightfall went for the blink build again.
I was like, oh my god, he's not gonna reach because he doesn't have it,
but did just pick it up before they make that move.
We'll be able to slow down Sotanik at least here, we're losing Makoto again.
They're not afraid to fight him.
Oh, that's it, he's gonna miss the crush, but they're still gonna get the hex off on Takahori,
and no one at Takahori is right behind him.
There's one behind him, they'll be able to deal with him.
And they might even have a chance to close it onto Nightfall as well.
Chains are up, he's got backup coming in in the form of Mirror and WS.
Side of this down there, the fiend script locked out, and he gets to put a stop to another moment,
Not at the moment, but he's pretty tanky over the flamethrower.
Notice comes back up at the crossroads and kills him, but the sonic waves there.
Makoto will manage to get the clean up there.
Big core kills for Aurora.
Stunned off the mark, the game gets a full fiend's grip for the first time it feels like in this series.
Mira able to get the angle this time around.
Good place for Aurora.
It costs them their tiny, but they are gonna get something out of it and WS gets a big catch up.
He's getting back into game now.
Up there now, top three net worth.
The initial stuns are both missing from the side of Paravision on this Phoenix, but the impale missed, and then also the crush missed.
Yeah, I had to kind of do it blindly to try and see if we could find someone behind, but missed the initial jump.
And WS gets the fake money, right? That cleanup will be able to get the god like on the Embers period.
I'm just trying to do as best as I can to redeem Diddley's, I'm sure they bring down
Nightfall, but they're losing both, no one and no Tis, there's massive amounts of money
there going to WS.
They almost actually saved Nightfall, that was pretty close to them even bailing the
Tiny out, so Aurora much closer this time around being able to strike back heavily here.
Immediate go again though, Paravision, they have the Plank on the line, not as cooldown
reliant in comparison to Aurora at this point. Aurora used a lot in this last fight.
On class?
Yes.
He's going to get the opening.
Doesn't look like anyone's going to be heading over to help him out.
He's going to try for the TP out, but there's one more little bit of damage from the flamethrower.
He'll do it.
That was close. Even the Polar Grenade 9 class is throwing over, just in case.
Did he actually get the hit in time to get the stack? I don't think he did.
No, not at all.
It's only up to the two stacks, I think last time he had like four or five.
Instant smoke, they have Global available, Aurora.
Fiendscript is coming back up, they have their abilities ready again.
And Nicoto does have the Lotus to protect.
The wraparound.
I'm gonna catch him off guard here.
How careful do they play?
Fine class, they're gonna get their eyes on Nightfall and notice he's got the control on the core, he comes in with a crush.
It's a Lotus on Nightfall.
I'm trying to get the toss back into the avalanche to go for the T.B.
I've got the crush back up though, no tits. Just on the edge of the radius of that crush.
He didn't even use global either, to call us confident that he can hold onto it there
and probably will hold onto it for more of these fiends groups in particular, right?
Yeah, I got a good last word onto the Phoenix. Not a chance for Kuri to try and get an egg off.
Super aggressive play from Paravision, getting that angle there and they did not see that one coming.
They can just play so fast that this draft it feels like doesn't have to rely on any of these cooldowns by any means Aurora a bit more
Cool down dependent. It feels like to take those fights
Rush will definitely be soon on the menu
There's an ambition to around the mid they have to be careful coming away from that tier two. I mean up top. They've got eyes
Chains into the crush they've got him
Thanks
It's a difficult game for him, I mean he had a pretty explosive start getting some good kills, but
at the end of the day
They've got all the control in the world to deal with Makoto's hero pauses you say and the co-op
It's just another one of those ones that you catch him in an opening stun power efficient
They'll have to follow up and it's here. We've been seeing have some trouble and kind of fall out of this tournament overall too here
No one on the ember spirit having a insane performance this time around getting very far ahead
of the the quap now in comparison and now it's it's Roshan it's big objective time and for Aurora
Hard to fight around that area even with their team fight
They don't have the best control in particular around it and there's always that global too
I mean what do you do about that global time?
You like can you just not go for a smoke up in team fight whilst the global's there?
You have to find him but the problem is they don't have these heroes that kind of just they're not their hunters, right?
They don't have this ember spirit that wants to jump in and find these back
It kind of has to be the tiny and dangerous
You know has obviously got the blink in his build up, but if it goes wrong that should carry jumping in first
Exactly. Sometimes if you see like noted. Yeah, it's a slaughter. He can jump back lights very easy
Timbersaw just is not the same design as most of these other off-laders near up to get to take the shrine
I was away from them
He's gonna get the Aegis, say Tannick.
But they're gonna take it out of him pretty quick.
They're timing the stupid over to try and take him out a second time.
No one's gonna head over to help out.
Tannick tries to get the Requim off of the stupid over stuns there.
Can he get the Requim off? He can, but it doesn't matter.
The Shackrum's down. They've killed him off.
They might be able to get no one as well to here.
I mean, a huge fight around the pit there.
They might not have been able to steal the kill or the Aegis,
But they take a massive teamfight when off the back of it might be able to find no one still even though he's got the regen running
That falls on him
Global they're gonna use it to try and get no one out of here
These are massive kills being hemorrhaged. He's got a remnant backup in a second
But the fiends grips there they've got the lock down now get no one as well
And no one's car like what a sequence okay, so that was a massive swing
I mean just coming into the pit exactly the right time right and splitting them up
I think the fact that Paravis is split up to go for this wisdom contest really hurt them right they TP two heroes over
I didn't even stop Mera from getting the way they did it and they left the Tana completely alone
The silencer actually gets caught this time so it doesn't have global for the fight to protect the SF2
I mean Aurora they needed that and they come in big with it and Paravis is in there and punish for their greed of splitting up
Look at the line in the ember they're like trying to get back over to help out, but it's all too late
Great timing there from Aurora to hit.
Yeah, beautiful setup with the egg making sure that Satanic wouldn't get a chance to fight with that second life.
We've got a game, Owen.
Absolutely, 20 to 19 here and less than a 1k gold difference.
And Aurora, there's a reason why they do pick these heroes.
They've been winning again and again and again with them.
Sure, they had a tough game one and they had a bit of a tough entry into this game two.
So once they start to get the ball rolling, there's a high chance that they will absolutely be in their element.
NWS now top net worth. Somehow after having the most difficulty, he did get the Godlike kills, right?
He got both of those big freaks. Yeah, who's it? Both the SF and the Ember, right?
I think it was just the Ember. Oh, so the Slardar and the Ember, yeah.
Yeah, he got the Ember and the Slardar kills.
Now he's had the Lotus Sword. He's about to have Aghanim too.
Game has completely changed in terms of that momentum Aurora feeling confident now
Paragons they split up really hard around that roast pit got punished for it notice does that be KB
the setup nine-class
Jump the hex in the start notice you can jump straight over towards the back line trying chase mirror out of the fight
Summary's coming out dive forward supernova as well the global scientist will be popped
But say Taddy keeps burning trying to escape this summary, but the spirit vessel is not gonna quite kill him
He will live. Wow. So this time Aurora will lose their two supports, they'll get no system at town with the sonic wave
And now Aurora's got to get out of there because the cause of paravision
Already to look towards them.
Nightfall is gonna find a shield for Runeuk. It might turn back and look for the fight again here. That egg almost brings down
That's so close. She only just survives. You can see the confidence Aurora is playing with after these moments here
Nightfall as you say. He could be thinking about going back into the combo. He's gonna try. He's actually gonna catch the squishy
Catch this, the call! This Blink is paying off much more than last time.
Able to get into the back line here, finds the silencer again.
No one does have a full Agendimus now, because it did get killed on the courier though, has a big increase.
But Aurora.
They're fighting back nicely here, and Satanic is BKB's been delayed pretty heavily here.
So still about a thousand gold till he has that finish, so they can still look to focus fire him if they do get that peg and sunray on him.
Night class.
I'm holding on to a lot of money as well 9 class what do you think he's he's considering
he bought a shadowblade last time but maybe thinking they need something different because
it's not the same type of game now might want some type of like force staff or I mean Lotus
would be pretty big right again sort of the threat of the bane and it's popping up popping
on your BKB desk staff so we can play for free he's just getting cast range okay playing
for himself. One K lead now for the side of Aurora. Feeling so much better for WS in particular
to now be that frontliner as well, that big distraction to allow Nightfall. He's got
this Lotus, he's got the Axe. Doesn't have to worry about this global. And in this game,
there's no Maladik, so there's not that insane damage that can breach right through him as
much. That's the thing, you know, these are similar
drafts, but maybe the Witch Doctor was the key. You know, without the Witch Doctor, maybe
You're not beating Aurora with this Aurora lineup.
I think a lot of it was just, yeah,
Paravis is splitting up around the pit.
Aurora just punished it beautifully.
Now in a comfortable spot with their incredibly comfortable
driving the lead now, 3K ahead, charge for Mira.
He has the solo crest as well
finished up to buff up his cores.
It's a panic, doesn't have the BKB yet.
You're trying to set the trap for him, it looks.
The ParaVision is all in the area, now the BKB is coming out.
Absolutely, I've answered.
When ParaVision was able to do in that last game,
there's no balling out of control, Aurora.
Have got nice timings here.
Let's see if they look for another play.
Koro grouping up with the team, they're gonna look for one.
If they can find Dukalis, right? One of the key things,
Did they stop him from being able to get that global off?
See the positioning, as he said, Satanic has a BKB.
Nightfall does not.
To Coloss, they find him!
Straight away, they get the catch on the side and stuff!
They'll be able to burst Broom before he's able to have any sort of impact or spin in the fight,
and he doesn't have a buyback global plan.
But Nightfall is isolated.
No one in Nights is going straight for him.
Can he get away from these two?
We're able to drag his way up to the high ground with a hard boom,
but hot in the chase over the agonims,
No one diving him down with the remnant and they get the egg as well satanic is gonna keep me out in ws
Space as well even though they lost the silencer to start of things they were very quick to fight back their power vision
It was this the silencer got caught but the pain got caught at the same time
So kind of the two that counter each other in a way do get brought down immediately
We do see that damage from satanic and no one
Also, he just got partisans man brand right before the fight on the number two so insane burst potential
Execution, did that fight? Big cleaner there for paravision.
No more? He's almost dead, that's him, right?
Didn't want us to crown Eva for the wisdom steal, so Aurora at least will manage to maintain that.
They get back on the map.
And Aurora, overall for the fights, they do have to still kind of stick together.
They got very split in this fight. Nightfall was fighting on the south side while his Phoenix was fighting on the other side completely too.
side completely too, so have to make sure that they can play together a bit cleaner.
A prior vision.
Very close to sort of being able to get the next item for notice.
No fire will be pretty big.
Okay, gold on him right now.
That'll be the counter versus the timber unless he gets the BKB in time, which he is gonna have very steward.
Nightfall in some dangerous positions though in terms of being able to shop to the fight
until he has BKB definitely seeing the vulnerability from him even if he's a 4000 HP hero they
have insane damage on the side of Paratrooper.
Mikoto does also get a Partisans brand and it's a tough one too so it does get some extra
little bit of armor for him.
I love this virtual item.
We have three of the better ones here, and we do see the gunpowders for two of the physical
cores.
So yeah, next fight, Nightfall might want to wait until BKB in terms of how he wants
to play, as aggressively as he wants to play in particular.
So, our vision is that we have a little bit easier way to force the fight here at this
point.
That's the thing right now, Roar, they'll still want to try and find Ducalis first.
They do.
But maybe with a little less of a commitment onto the silencer line, so they're ready to
deal with the rest of the fight, the Paravigion bring them.
But in the SPKB, he can do that, right?
He can just jump into the back, but without a doubt, there'll be some risk if he gets caught
in any disable.
30 minutes.
He's got incredibly close on the numbers here.
experience pretty much zero gold pretty much zero so set up for a beautiful
mid game and be very dependent on who executes cleaner in the upcoming fights
this nullifier could be problematic though because they do have one Mira also
went for ghost after this game so quite a few different things that he can't
dispel and focus on too
I'm going to be difficult outside of the BKBs, and once the BKB duration has come to an end,
if they haven't kind of killed off both Makoto and Nightfall, the cons are sort of avalanche
fans and now that the Diagonym's is there on the QWAP, it's going to be pretty difficult
for ParaVision to sort of hold their ground and chase down heroes.
Yeah, Ferora can have these longer fights around Makoto, it could be pretty huge if
he's able to get these, and he has a haste for the upcoming fight too.
Because that's pretty much the strong point for our path. They have to get the kills during the BKBs, during the global size.
Yes.
If Aurora is able to survive through that, they fight back pretty hard and definitely feel favored in a more drawn out teamfight situation if Aurora can get that.
Just have to be able to play those two. They have to distance themselves at times.
Kyori is also farming very well here, getting closer toward a hex himself.
He can be very nice versus the Ember Spirit, who does not want to go for anything like a BKB at any point.
No, not at all.
So that could be a very good pick up if they're able to continue slowing the pace of the game down here.
How much scary this time around for Pirate Vision to get onto Aurora's health on the map?
Absolutely, and Mikoto almost level 20 as well while having this agonim, so his damage is going to increase massively in the next few moments.
Gonna go for the smoke, play a Roros here if they can...
Do they want to jump Satanic under the tower?
They're gonna try!
He'll give you a nightfall.
Straighten they go with the full combo, look at the burst for him, the submarine's gonna burn him down, it's enough to kill him!
Satanic's gone!
And no one, he jumped in for this, then you shoulda get a feed script!
Where's the global?
Where is the global?
Too late!
Way too late!
Yeah, they're gonna tip him for that!
I mean, was something stopping him from getting it off for him?
He was being chased, but...
That was about it.
I mean, no one, he needed that global press, and it just...
Okay, did he actually get reflected onto it? Okay, but earlier it looked like whatever either way
You get the point. Either way it didn't get the global off in time perhaps couldn't it could not save no one from that beam script
That is devastating and just identify they can talk to Tannick. They just commit everything on to him there
Nightfall with the fresh BKB immediately makes the jump it makes the call
Huge moves from Aurora
Our vision definitely gonna be quite shaken up after that last teamfight lost that
They're getting into the targets, right? They're getting into the backlines. They're finding Satanic.
He's not as tanky as he was this last time.
She's up out.
That came out after it. The last one came out way after, so...
They ex-slip up, honestly.
Maybe just miscommunication as well. Not getting sort of the signal over that the global was needed.
And they're just, I mean, maybe a bit of panic in a way, right?
Because Aurora just instant jumped them. They did not see that coming on the side of Paravision.
Yeah, well, it ends up being a fantastic fiend script for Mira.
And they fall.
Cholnoff is tiny now, and WS is top net worth as this timbers.
See, this is why they gave it a second shot, you know.
They weren't too shaken up after game one.
They're like, it's fine, let's do it again.
And, yeah, maybe even in this day and age of 2026,
the key thing was banning the witch doctor.
You would have thought it right, but that might have been what really did it here.
Banning witch doctor.
Perhaps it is. Aurora, much cleaner execution this time in paravis and definitely tripping up with their execution.
Global now on cooldown for about 10 more seconds. Aurora looking to strike with his Aegis.
No one did feel forced to buy BKB, by the way.
Into all these disables. He's feeling like he needs it.
Yeah, it does feel pretty necessary. As much as you say you don't really feel great getting it.
Try and burst through Knifeful and they'll do it very quickly.
He's the BKB's for this one, so if you ask the rest of that, that goes in.
They'll chase down Mira.
Well, what comes out in response, the egg, they're trying to take it out, but they can't
get the hits off, they're just dying underneath it.
And that's going to be a dead satanic notice.
His BKB about to come to them, Picodo diving into the base, kills up the three of them,
they're going to get nine class as well.
Oh, this is getting rough now for ParaVision, Aurora, stealing her head.
How many fights in a row is that for them, right?
3 or 4 that they're able to get significant catches, especially on the satanic time and time again.
And they can have the ace pretty soon now. The nightfall, everything's coming together.
They might be able to go for at least one set. They don't have a secondary creep wave here, so not going to be able to go for the second one, but great responses.
The quick damage at the start takes Nightfall out, but he's got the stages. He's going to be ready for round two.
And Kairi, I love how he's playing this.
Look at the angle he comes in from, and the X out. They can't deal with it. Even with kind of the global pot, nobody's really in position to get the hits in.
to get the hits him required to take out this egg it doesn't even get close to
dying level three egg and the punch over Aurora punishing these mistakes
our vision how do they make us come back now for themselves after these last two
three big wonders Mira on the hunt as well too he's already looking for no
one potentially here so you're gonna get the setup now whoa whoa whoa
No one should be fine as the remnants ready to trees. He's away
Crazy amount of pickups not to nightfall. He had Justin bleak if you picked up that was a C as well, too
Things are starting to snowball for Aurora
Huge items me a she was now as well to for Makoto up to that 40 armor
Having the answers versus this damage of power vision out this point
Yeah, they can survive through sort of the burst and physical that Paravision have.
44 armor, Tiny, every single one of them now has an insane amount of armor to build a defensive stuff with.
And the backliners are getting to cast their abilities because the Tiny, he's the one leading the charge.
Aurora, perhaps looking to close this out pretty soon here in the next fight.
They're looking super strong in comparison, the damage is just dwindled away from Paravision.
Paravisions somehow get a hold back on this game.
Not many teams have been able to when they're sort of in this position against this, this style of draft from Aurora.
Guess these tanky tanky bruisers.
WS, the ninth class he's going to try.
So what they can do about the timber.
The four of them on top of him, they're still killing pretty easily.
Good isolating.
It's quite a while as well, 90 seconds without WS.
still showing they have significant damage if they do find a target here on the side.
See how much they can do with this?
Do they just want to go for another one potentially here, right?
Just keep smoking, looking for these pick-offs, while you do have a number advantage.
Hard when Aurora is gathered, of course, but if you can catch them split up,
that is where Paravis is to damage drives.
9th class is kind of looking for it, he is drawing the line to make this kind of crazy
aggressive play but he is pretty alone, so perhaps it's not the rest of them aren't down
for this.
Yeah, maybe just a place to ward but he wasn't able to get in the area.
During those BKBs, that's how Paravision has to sign.
Get that explosive plate, they're done a smoke, so looking to get that number advantage, still
no timbersaw.
I mean, they know that Nightfall was on the mid-wave, so likely went from that to farming the jungle here.
It's gonna pop the lantern.
And he's a step ahead of them, and he's already out of this area completely.
So Thix is still gonna get the chance to find any of the others down in this bottom lane.
They have very aggressive words on the side of Paravision right now, but it does seem like Aurora...
...not gonna fall for it, back up, wait for their Timberstar, not gonna let them sequence these kills.
And I fall, getting close to that next big damage item as well, also taking the tough
enchant too, so they're very tanky versus this physical damage, but they still can die
in a disable.
Grouping up, not letting them get the pick off, paravision, looking for perhaps a pick
off but Aurora is ready.
But I'm gonna try, but not for a quick!
He gets the blink, he actually off first!
Cause he jumps down to wall, Satanic, Satanic has to put the BKB and run!
BKB on BKB.
Aurora chasing.
Satanic definitely quite a bit more dependent on his BKB than Nightfall,
it's just that the HP pulls.
Flaming high ground.
They can keep them contained, wait for that next Roshan potentially, could look for a
play, but if they do see Satanic they might just jump in when he doesn't have BKB.
They'd done it even when he did.
He's got to be super careful now, probably hold safe in the base or at least just stick
to the bottom line of creeps in the jungle.
Notice will have his agonims finished up soon, he does have to go toward it if he wants.
Everybody on the side of Paravis have been slowed down significantly.
They started to pick up a couple more items here at Lincoln's now for no one.
Execution now at this point has to be pretty clean for them.
They're playing versus super high level Phoenix as well too.
Peori up to level 22 for him.
Kind of the fourth core for the team.
As we've seen these acts have been very successful in most situations.
Never can laugh at that damage that comes out from the sun, right?
Has the bobble as well, right?
So, timeless bobble.
Yeah, this Phoenix...
Can we actually get damage numbers if we don't mind for a second here?
I'm curious to see how close he is to this.
It's probably pretty high with the team fight.
He's the highest.
Yeah.
Under there, you know, this is...
No, also, you know, this is pretty much Kori's best hero, right?
He's one of the best Phoenixes in the game.
It is.
By far, yeah.
Not even close compared to anything else that he plays.
Paravision?
They aren't looking for this kind of, like, trio to get this kind of pop play on a single here,
because they do have insane burst, but Aurora, they're not giving them those chances.
Stay much more together now.
WS.
Level 25 will be hit for him.
Much harder to bring down.
Man, absolutely.
The insane recovery made by him.
All of them are down, and the net worth of the supports very early on this game, but yeah, here now at the top.
This is why they do go for this first pick, Tim, but...
And 3 cores, about to be 25 as we see Mikoto, is very close to having this well.
They're gonna hit the high ground, and see what happens.
At least poke him. One little tap.
Now, Nightfall is dead. He will kill anybody in the stun.
He commits for the Daedalus, so gets rid of his boots.
How's Satanic's next item looking? It feels like he really needs that Satanic. Satanic needs
Satanic, for sure. It's not too far away from it. I'll just go with this assemble. He just
needs that raw HP in particular, besides just the secondary life. Has hit 25 himself too
for the Shadow Raise damage. And a roll up waiting outside that rush pit. And perhaps
Let's look to start it now.
Gonna poke it.
Perfection.
Getting outside, looking for a catch.
Will indeed stop making work at the Roche here.
Or get the roar out of him.
Getting in position.
Mira has a full agonist for this fight as well too, so the fiends grip.
Left to keep eyes for it.
The global's gotta be pretty perfect for him to car this.
And it's only the one global he is pretty poor the best positioning himself at the front
The full wrap around now on the high ground
Paravision of Aurora's side of the map Aurora inching forward though to get information
They don't have fine. No, she's they had a heckful straight away
We'll see no for coming with a jump in the grips gonna be there look down like last the global comes out
But night glass he's gone the Tannick is already almost down
No one does manage to bring down Mera. Can they take out the SIP and over they can't they've got to jump away from it with the remnant
Support exchange, but a buyback from Decalus and Satanic just has to spend the whole team fight running away
Should secure the Roshan now for Aurora no one's gonna be a bit careful there
Gonna get jumped and slowed down in the linkers has been popped these three eros
Though not having to look down at the moment of the BKB and try and run
I've got another remnant ready in the TP's there, so he'll get out, but with that that does mean the space is there for Aurora
To get back in the pit and finish off the road shaft. All five remnants used as well, the BKB used here, and I can't even hit a target
He literally ran away the entire fight as they got the jump on him
Aurora, instant jump, get the hex force of reaction, instant beam to the boss on the line
They're just getting the spells up incredibly fast on their side
Give that refresher shark to Kaori.
I think this has been one of the most impactful phoenixes, so definitely has merit to give it to him over the queen of pain.
He's been turning every supernova off, so every reason to believe he's going to be able to come in with two in the next fight.
He just puts it literally in the face of satanicians. They can't kill the egg at this point too, so he just burns.
It has to be spent. Most of the fight is running away.
Yeah, they just don't have the best heroes to take it out right most of the time
You know notice as the starter. He's already jumped on someone else who's never near the egg
And there's no way that no one wants to remnant in and risk being under the supernova himself trying to get hits and onto it
No, it's it's literally is just that rock and only yeah, I have to just run away from it
Supports at this point, you know, you can say very rich Mira and Kiori
having that clear separation between the other two, Zucca is just very broke this
game. After that whole roast sequence happened, that's literally where you see
the entire graft has just completely swapped toward the high ground. Even
and satanic has to be careful how he shows here.
Next item, a full octurane and a consumed agonims.
Is that the recipe? I guess he lost his career earlier with it.
Whatever.
So WS, I'm getting critical mass himself.
Pretty much at peak now.
Our vision is to take step out, there's gotta just gotta wait and see what happens when Aurora come for the high ground push.
And they're getting all these next big items as well too, I believe a swift blink soon coming out for the tiny...
Even a BKB for Kaori, why not?
Guaranteed to get the egg off in every single situation now.
Just keep them forced inside the base.
And I don't blame Satanic for this. He's queuing up the rapier.
It does feel like it. It feels like it's going to come back now.
We're going to need to see it.
He's got to be able to turn it from the base.
And even then, they are very tanky with the Timber and the Tiny.
And as soon as BKB comes to an end, they will kill him pretty quickly.
Even if they catch him in the first stun, right?
Yep.
Could just dial him up to me.
It's not easy.
Bit of a disconnect.
Very impressive from Aurora this game.
With the similar draft.
Yeah, I mean they too were not scared after the loss in the game one.
They're like, we're gonna run it back and as I said, we're certainly seeing why
they did stand firm with bringing in pretty much the same approach.
Even though again at the beginning we saw it not have an easy time at all.
It's all about that Roshan contest, right? And Nightfall being able to have that extra confidence to jump forward.
Rock'em! Sock'em!
It's already outside the base here. Aurora may just go for the jump if they see a chance. Nightfall's gonna be ready.
They've got plenty time to go for it here. Could be an abrupt ending into this game.
Noticed.
Has also hit 25.
So the gross it is, is undispellable.
One of the best talents.
Banner is placed through the catapult.
It's gonna get him and the Avalanche is gonna go straight away over to watch the SF.
He's caught Satanic. The BKB will be there.
Satanic, he has to back away from the Supernova.
He'll be okay for now, but McConaughey jumps in, gets the knackers down, and there's the second egg on top of Satanic.
Kaori destroying him with these Supernovas.
No one. He's trying to get some revenge. They get the burst out. They will be able to kill off Kaori.
And no one's gone. He might have to buy back here already. The buyback having to come out from Satanic.
Zerora are onto the barracks. WS cleaning up.
Still got this Aegis intact on Nightfall and he's back in WS. Cleans up an Ultra kill.
This man looking for a rampage.
Not to timber chain back in. Respecting the buyback from no one.
They're bringing Mira down low. No, just getting on top of him and the heal comes out. Mira's back up to full HP.
Nightfall! The hexes there onto Nightfall. Can they even get the Aegis? Out of him, the slider fist comes through.
They will at least take the Aegis away. But the damage has been done. The racks have been taken.
Mikoto, too tanky as well. The chorus just cannot be touched by Aurora.
And that was back in. Another jump out of the line, odd to no one.
They get him before he's able to ram them back to the fountain.
It's over. Gigi is called.
Aurora absolutely showing why they come back into game two with an incredibly similar approach.
They were not shaken off their game plan by the game one loss as rough as it was.
Then if they came back in, they did pretty much the same thing.
And they found the witch, Doctor!
They can get themselves the win!
Yeah, I mean, we've got a series for sure on our hands here.
They were getting kills early on too, right?
They were getting these core kills.
They weren't just getting supports by any means,
but it was so much around that roast where they turned the entire game around,
starting to snowball massively.
These fights look pretty impossible for Paravision after that moment, too, there.
Aurora sticking with their guns and Kaori.
My goodness, that was an insane Phoenix performance.
I mean, he has some pretty crazy cores that did incredible,
Honestly, some of these eggs were MVP for me.
Absolutely. Yeah, there was never a bad egg in that game from Kaori.
And as he was looted at the start of that one, they're probably just going to do it again.
Do it again!
So now, if you're ParaVision, you might have to change up some of the bands.
Unless you're like, well, we'll let you do it again.
They might do it again.
And we'll show you, we've got another approach.
We'll see what happens.
We might even get a first phase wishbook to ban.
I'm telling you, you've got to watch out for it.
It was that good.
Aurora, they take the second game.
It's one for one now between Aurora and ParaVision.
I love this for us as the viewers, of course, but also for Aurora because the alternative would have been so bad,
but they make sure that a couple of adjustments and the game looks entirely different, Jenkins.
Yeah, we have a very good grand final cooking here. It could have been terrible, to be honest, if it went the other direction.
But to make this gambit, to double down on the draft, make some slight adjustments,
tells you that these teams have extremely capable drafters, very smart drafters, and also a lot of trust in themselves and each other that they can basically execute the same thing, but better, so yeah, this is a big W for Dota fans.
Yeah, yeah, I mean, Kessin said it in the green room, but sorry for stealing your point, but he said this Phoenix performance was the yellow from the egg.
What do you say to Swedish?
I don't think we have that expression.
Yellow from the egg?
Yeah, it's a German expression that's gave it from I because the egg yolk is considered to be the best ever
Yeah, but he said he said the Phoenix was the yellow from the egg. Oh
Okay, he cooked yeah, he cooked the egg was good perfectly scrambled not shaked
I think I think across the board. They they all played a lot better. I
Generally think you could see and feel the difference in play. I think they were a little shaky in the way face
I think you could sort of see the same thing whether
They're cowering a little bit in fear, like the hammers
about to come down.
But I think as the game progressed,
they were getting involved.
They were actually joining fights and punching back.
And I think that is a really big step.
In the grand finals, if you've gotten owned one game,
you can't just keep taking the beating
and play this game of dodging and hoping and coping.
Like you need to actually be fighting back
and make the other team real.
And I think they've obviously won the game.
So now they're in a position of dominance.
And Perivision, the one that has to respond,
like I think shifting that dynamic is huge.
I got to do it again.
Are they gonna start like...
I mean, I think Parry has the capabilities of deciding what they play up against, right?
Yeah.
They could say, you know what, we beat the Timber once, we don't need to beat it again.
Let's drop the Timber and go up against something else.
Uh, so they have options.
I think that's what's interesting about this final.
And I think it's cool that KP and Aurora were able to say like,
Fine, let's run it back.
You know, we got it in us and we talked between the games and talked about all and wrong.
So, what's really cool about these two games is their laning phase.
At the end of it, it almost looks exactly the same on the net worth.
You're going to notice a small difference, as notice game is slightly worse,
but overall it's the same heroes on top, the same positions.
But the big difference here is during the mid game, Aurora, like Glen mentioned,
brought a lot of heroes to the fights early on, and they didn't like,
tower away from these moments. Like when you see the QWAP kits involved,
they killed this SF off in the bottom lane.
There's going to be another fight here where in the last game,
they were just getting outnumbered and they were losing these fights,
but this time around they were prepared for it.
So Queen comes in one more time, cleans up, you see no one is beyond Godlike, but it doesn't matter.
Klopp comes in, cleans up some kills, they keep doing this over and over again, and whenever something's happening,
you see 9-class here has this battle over here, while SF is killing Rosh, they recognize where the main battle is supposed to happen,
which is at Roshan, and they bring all the heroes here, they manage to kill off SF twice.
Last game we saw SF like pushing a tier 2 tower alone while they're doing this distracting play with killing Timber in the triangle.
This time around, they were much more balled up, much more grouped up, much more ready for these movements.
So I think between the games is what they discussed. They need to have cleaner mid-game, they can't just bow down and let Parry get away with everything they want to do, and they actually need to bring Harrison punished.
That's a good point, because I think also, like, this smoke, or like that play at the Roche pit, even though Parry isn't ready, obviously, you never have the opportunity if you're not even like smoking and like taking the correct angle, suddenly, they're not together, you get the fight.
Because that whole scenario, they go from a 5k deficit to an even game, they kill the ages as well.
And without those, the entire game, it might just, like you said, could have just been a run back of Game 1.
So, you know, I think now both teams are probably pretty happy.
Maybe overall the momentum is slightly on Aurora's favor.
I would say, you know, you ran back the draft one more time, you're like, okay, we can show you, we can beat it.
But for me, most importantly, it's how they feel themselves.
Like getting the confidence off this win, I think it's like a big factor going into the next games.
I also think it's a big deal that you win game two compared to winning game three
I think if you are two games down and you win the third game you get a little bit of confidence back
But at the same time you can still feel that hole and the fact that like okay
We need two more and we're still on the edge
I think you have to get there or verse sweet exactly or first week
Oh, it feels like a big task like grand finals and you're watching feel kind of fast like they're kind of just over
But playing at least for me and can speak differently maybe but going into them. It feels like a really big thing
It's gonna be really long and then it speeds up and suddenly it's over instantly
And so I think having the momentum swing back immediately can be really good for your psyche
I actually absolutely agree. It is because it feels like there's so many games
There's so much potential. There's so many things that we can change up. There's so many opportunities and
Like being to zero down obviously compared to being like down to one is a world difference. I
mean, I believe in
Paravision's ability to bounce back mentally though because the team this season has shown incredible resilience
They have had internal issues that they've spoken about and
Disagreements and they have worked through it. So
It to get to the point that they're at where they look entirely different
So I really do believe that like this one is going to distance now that Aurora is also showing that they're incredibly resilient as well
Yeah, and this entire tournament paravision of all the series. They've played only two series were two O's
I feel like something interesting is like this qualp vs puck, I feel like the puck was
quite invisible compared to how much we saw the co-op in this game. I was
curious what you think, what do you think that is like such a big difference?
I mean to be honest you mentioned bringing numbers to fights earlier and I
think that has a big part in it. Like I think especially in grand finals there's
something to be said for like bringing force to a place because I think people
have a tendency to overreact and to just fight and they join the fight and so if
you're actually strong enough to join those fights, a queen is a better hero
that fighting early on. Pluck is quite a farming like scaling hero isn't that
strong early compared to co-op. It's like you can see him join that fight
early gets a couple of kills those kills they may seem all just two kills it
really matters to the XP and the games of other heroes and so I think the
ability to get involved and bring the oomph with the numbers and not be like
just dodging and reacting like to me it plays into that and I think Makoto playing
a hero that can actually be involved but isn't just dodging is is really important
and I know that you also want to talk a little bit about no one's ember yeah I
I mean I disagree somewhat with his item build I think the the agonims at the time
he bought it is not that good because I think if you look at Aurora's heroes
he can't really jump the back line that well because if he acts remnants in he's
getting slept or he's getting gripped and everyone's gonna focus him and kill
him and it actually happens in one fight a little bit later on compared to I
think if he buys tank items he buys a caissons he buys a shard it'd be a
by the BKB and he goes on the front line heroes and they play in sort of a wall
versus another wall I think could be a much better way to take the fight and
he chooses for the opposite this game and I think it kind of bites them at
some point where he has ag sure but what is that item really do will give you two
more remnants which is like two more nukes but the other thing it does is gives you reach and if you can't actually use the
Reach and you essentially set 4000 gold on fire
Which I think you can feel a little bit later in the game where he's not having the impact you would expect from your mid
Hero who's like beyond godlike at 20 minutes to how you expect him to keep owning
But you felt it kind of fall off a little bit. He was getting gripped every fight too
So I feel like the reach was actually kind of negatively affecting it. That's the point right like we're bane like if I'm playing bane
Against this kind of heroes I can't go too deep because I said will literally prove shot me so I need to play in my backline
And like ember doing these jumps. It's actually enabling me to have impact in a game where it's quite tricky to find these sorts of plays otherwise
Do you guys and still think if like what if I is it supposed to be this bad regardless because let's say I'm the ember
Let's say I buy this agonist, okay, and I'm like, okay
I have global silence so when I go in it gives me like just freedom to like find the bane and I'm helping my slaughter
Who's going in or is there like no explanation to like, you know make that make sense?
I think that's a potential argument and I think they they definitely could have done that
I think to be honest this Roche fight screws the game up in a really big way
I think they kind of did the forbidden move which is you hit Roche when the enemy team is there
Yeah, if you're hitting Roche and the enemy team is coming you fight
It's like it's a hard rule that you do not break because there's so much chance
The enemy to steal Aegis or kill some random guy and then you die twice, which is exactly what happened
We did this hat all the time we're hitting Roche and they come out. Oh, we can finish it. No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you fight first
Well, the lesson is learned. The hard way, granted. But learned nonetheless, we're gonna find out what other lessons are learned from these first two games as we're heading over to game number three after a break.
You and I got something to get it so hard to feed a feedin' like this
Yeah, the brush I get is on another level
Going round my head, when I will you
Can I set it off and won't you show?
Come on, let's chase that dream and fool and lie
Go to sleep myself and dance all night
We live in a man's mind
You make me feel alive
But not the way that it really is
You make me feel alive
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I just want to live it now, it never is so hard to be a moment like this
And push, I get disheartened like a level going round and around when I meet you
Got to set me off and won't you shut up, go on the chase, run the dream and put a smile
When I see myself and dance all night
We're living our best lives
You make me feel so alive
Come on, don't get us deep in this
You make me feel so alive
Let it get faded
You make me feel so alive
Come on now, yeah, let's do this
You make me feel so high
You make me, you make me, you make me feel so good
You make me, you make me, you make me feel so good
You make me feel so alive
Come up and get it, baby
You make me feel so alive
You make me feel so good
Yeah, it's the real thing, the real thing
Oh my gosh, believe me, I am sincere
I'm not a saint, allow me to volunteer
I'm standing here in that little sun
Five, four, three, two, one
We shine a light
It's the real thing, it's the real thing
You shine a light
It's the real thing, it's the real thing
You shine a light
You shine the night, you shine it right
You have to see the way, you shine the light
Yeah, it's not real, it ain't real
You shine the light
The score is tied here in this Grand Finals for Dream League Season 29, we got Aurora,
We got ParaVision 1-1 exactly the way we like it.
It was also very uniquely done with two drafts of a very similar slight adjustment.
There's a lot of Aurora to come back for this game at number three.
We have priority for ParaVision and I chose Radiant and still first pick for Aurora and
that means we have exactly the same scenario when it comes to sides and pick orders.
Seems like both teams are just preferring this.
We might see a Wisp.
Yeah, Shadowfiend's out.
I was thinking we were going to get a running back.
And Timber's out, too.
I guess you banned the SF.
They're like, okay, now you kind of have to ban the Timber.
But I'm a little...
Are you guys surprised that Aurora are taking out the SF?
Or is it more like to force a Timber ban to get something else?
I think they want to play a different game.
I feel like now it's like 1-1, we played this all good.
I think they probably concluded that it's not clearly in their favor.
can win, but they also don't want to give the opportunity now for party to readjust the
draft like they did, but they feel like just let's play a different game. But party-wisp,
I haven't seen this tournament at all. It's been banned almost every single time, I want
to say. Yeah, 9-class is very, very good at this hero,
and it adds a degree of weirdness because heroes are tankier than you expect, especially
if you've played against Iowa a whole bunch, which no other teams are really playing. It's
your very little experience, and not suddenly people are a little bit tankier, and they're
like moving a little bit faster, and it can mess with your like perception of the little
things where heroes can be how fast they can die it's a it's a tricky hero to play against
unless you played against it a lot recently. It's also a hero that becomes a core. At least
when he plays it. It's so fitting. Ayo and Tiny. The OG combo. One of the OG combos.
The fanatic combo. Something is sad about that. Something very sad about that. So close yet so far.
It's Tiny. A good answer to what I'm sure Aurora knew in advance was going to be an
I think it's okay. Like you're pretty high damage. Tiny is just a strong hero
And so I think it's like I was not directly good against tiny and if you're not like specifically good against tiny tiny
Probably good against you. Yeah, it has a lot to do with the combos
But at the same time like I would consider I have to also be very good against Phoenix
Like you have a lot of attack speed obviously Aurora
They love this hero right if you're tenor to a guy you overcharge him like first of all that I think is already a pretty big
counter and you mentioned, Aero just changes like it's a different Dota 2 game that you're playing.
People are more tanky, suddenly you're global, you can be anywhere, it's super easy to go for moves.
I think this is quite bold, like from, you know, from Aurora to go for this,
but maybe they have some picks in the next phase that obviously you know that this Aero's coming out.
They must have an idea.
Now what's cool about this, I think there's two layers to it.
One, 9-class is now on a hero that fundamentally changes the way the game is played.
We talk about it a lot in their previous series.
That is like what he is the best at doing.
But on the other hand, Aurora has now taken the whole position of,
we're gonna give you what you want, and now we're prepared for it.
So I think they've flipped the script a bit, in terms of what this draft looks like.
Of course, Pauly knows how to play with Wisp, but it's been damped for so long, right?
But they haven't had the opportunity to play it in scrims,
they probably haven't had the opportunity to play it in officials,
and sometimes I can really hurt you coming into a situation like this,
where like, yeah, my class is really good on the hero, but...
how recent is your practice as a T-stress?
What's it like?
Pangolier coming through as the pango expert. It's just good against Tiny.
He I think you want heroes that can't be comboed by the shadow blade if he's that ability goes for.
Pangolier just sort of buys a lot of HP items
He's generally pretty hard to burst and if you start to fight with roll and you find Tiny then you kind of just burn all
This mana or force speak to be either one you're really happy with so it's just a hero that's great with great against tiny
And I think it's also pretty good with Isle because it's two heroes that are just they play the game in a very high tempo
They attack, they buy Diffuser Blade, you swash in, and then the Isle of Tether is slow, and you just keep going, you keep going, and I think that synergy of two aggressive heroes is just very nice.
Is this something you notice, place? I don't actually think I've seen him play it, but this late off lane can be quite good.
He does play it.
Okay. But even on the off lane, this can be quite toxic. Like you said, abusing the fact that Tether slows is nice with heroes that can get themselves in front of the enemy hero, and Pango does that quite easily.
You can like abuse a tether, abuse a stone, just keep hitting them over and over again.
And get maximum value out of like your overcharging stuff.
For Aurora, you could look at Mira getting a Lion overall.
I mean this is a hero he played in all the other series before this.
He wasn't able to play it so far in this series.
Another hero I don't know if they played it too much is like Grimstroke, I think is.
Grimwise, wrong against these two.
Maybe even like Winter Wyvern is a hero that people sometimes like against some of these combos.
So these are at least some supports that come to mind.
I think Bane honestly is also quite great.
and pango. If you have ways to hit pango while he's rolling, Bane is extremely good, but against
Whisp is just nice because there's no cancel. He has no way of interrupting your grip, he has no
way of messing up with any of your moves, and you're just a good hero, isn't it?
We'll leave the Bane. The question is, is any of Kory's heroes very good here, such as Phoenix?
We used to consider Whisp to be a straight up Phoenix Halberd because of the overwhelming
I think it's the only attack speed you get from Overcharge, yeah.
This guy doesn't care. He just plays his best.
Like, he can go a little bit against Logic, just because he's so much better to, like, offset it.
There it is.
Like, there's many teams that they would not do this, but if you have the best guy on this hero, you get away with it.
Well, we'll see if he gets away with it.
That's true. Well, let's be real.
We'll let his gameplay through the talking in this one.
Yeah.
Maybe he normally gets away with it because the teams that they're up against are a little less good than ParaVision.
We'll see how this one will play out.
It's interesting that Aurora has gone back for the same three heroes and like completely different matchups, right?
Yes.
It's the same three heroes we saw in the previous two games, but the matchups are completely changed.
And I feel like this has kind of been their pattern, right?
Where they will play the heroes they're good at, and if the enemy team doesn't pick good matchups, they'll do well.
So it's very much like, I feel like it's very much on party now to prove that like, hey, we can beat these heroes.
We know how to do it.
Wait a minute.
And to be honest, I think they can.
If you look at Perivision's heroes, it's Isle-Pangler, it's two heroes this sort of charge in from the front,
and you need to overwhelm me damage. Aiden mentioned a turret with Bane earlier, and I think that's very very true.
Like if I look at these two heroes, I want draw ranger, I want terrorblade,
I want one of the classic heroes that Spirit always picked with Bane against Pangolier.
Because if you don't have that, then I'll pango charge in the middle of you and you're like,
you know guys, they're right next to us, what do we do? And if you can't kill them, then you've got a really big problem.
And I don't know if Aurora has the kinds of heroes to do that sustained DPS in their hero pool.
Maybe they do, maybe it's some Lakota, or maybe it's Quap,
plus the WS Nuka or something, but Tiny is not that hero, so he needs to come from something else.
That's a lot of sustain on the side of Fairvision.
It's a lot of it and Iodon is also a very strong lane.
Are you guys a little surprised that they did not go for like a carry plus one here
to like keep the pango open or is the monkey king just enough as like you go mid and that's fine?
I mean I haven't really seen pango have that many like super rough lane matchups.
Not rough enough to where you like have to flex it away.
I also think they probably just value the dawn into pain.
It's quite hard to get them to off the game.
We're not banned!
Another sustain hero.
This is reminding me of our game against...
What was it? It was like, which Dr. Wisp against the 9 Pandas?
This can be really, really nasty with all the dealing.
It doesn't work the same way back that it used to burn as well, but like,
there's overwhelming, like, defense right now in part.
And if they can find something that Wisp just pairs up with,
they very likely are going to become unkillable.
Rora like really playing the same draft, they're just swapping out like one guy here, one guy there.
One band.
No, Rora, this is obviously the exact same as game one.
Yeah, like what is happening?
We just need a new hero for WS because his timbers already out.
Right, so the timber, he has to play something else.
Yeah.
And he usually plays home breaker when it's not timber, so he can't do that either.
It's also a lot of his heroes, I think they kind of suck against witch doctor, like I
wouldn't want to play, like first like axe you cannot pick blind, also not that good
against witch doctor so you have to like really go like through his route of
heroes
there's a very well staying good on a place with that girl
did play Phoenix once really pay or he did step off the Phoenix one it was not
good but you gotta have a go to position five pay Adam I mean ancient
apparition would be the one but it's kori so I don't really only play like
Largo, he played Underlord, they weren't super successful, but a lot of his best heroes are unavailable to him right now on this route, for WS.
This is a tricky pick, and you have to do it blind also. I would be afraid of, actually, usual ban Ursa.
I'm pretty sure there's a lot of offlaners you don't want to play into him. Also, Ursa against Phoenix Tiny.
It's like TV Ursa's whatnot, but okay, they did not.
Is it Centaur? They want to like run away from the pango roll, don't hold, like there's nothing to lock, to lock Aurora in.
Do you really want to play a Centaur into potentially Ursa?
I mean I'm just thinking about the Necro ban, the thing is like Necro is good against every strength off laner, just like all the off laners right now.
In fact looking at it right now, both teams have issues killing each other.
And I think if you have a sustained draft and you don't have ways to kill your opponents,
it can be very hard to scale up into the game, as the game progresses forward.
There's a lot of sustained spells that are really really good early on,
because they essentially function as pure damage, healing doesn't get reduced by armor or anything like that,
so it's like reverse pure damage for your allies.
Whereas like the other team has a lot of lockdown, they have spells that are going to scale with items,
so for parry right now, I feel like they need to have a way to actually win this game.
Because right now they can be tanky, and so can the enemy team, but what's next? What comes next?
How do we actually kill something?
Yeah, the puck kind of, it is, it's a very good puck game because of that exact reason, right?
You've got all this healing, all this crap, but like, if you can't kill the puck, then you're just floating around and, like, that's another way you can play against these massive field drops.
You can drag out the fight and, like, until you get to these timings where you can slowly pick up, like, you find the aisle with the puck and you actually burst this guy.
Or Tiny isn't like, can you kill a guy because you're biding enough time and you're just unkillable.
Um, is another way to deal with it, and puck definitely does that.
I have a really hard time like finding an offlaner that like nails it for Aurora.
Yeah.
It seems very difficult.
I mean, I've noticed when you get to the last thing of the draft and you ideally want
more damage and your last hero is your offlaner, it's quite hard to find it.
They're going to go offlaner.
Like no!
Yeah.
Isn't that one of the heroes that you looked into saying before the series started that
you're like, well, they tried it out and didn't really work?
They played it early on.
Like, I think it's a hero they're capable of playing.
just wasn't very successful and then they benched it but essentially like three
heroes that he's looked for has been Dawnbreaker, Timbersaw and the... I'm
blanking out. He played Axe too. No, it was Timber, Dawn, one more guy that I can't
remember and whatever and the heroes aren't available to us. I think this
they're stretching for like some old some older heroes that they played in the
past. I think this draft isn't quite as comfortable for either side as the
previous two that we saw. We got them worked on the east side of Pair
So I feel like that damage situation is definitely solved on their end.
Yeah, for sure. I mean, Isle Morta is one of the best Isle counters.
It's absolutely ridiculous when you get the items. It's hilarious how fast heroes melt.
So yeah, for sure they fixed the damage problem.
I think the one thing they like a little bit is Lockdown.
It's just one Pangolier roll and he can get gripped.
I mean, you're the only jump versus Bane as Pangolier can be really dicey
because you need to be super careful how deep you jump.
because if you jump too deep, you get gripped, suddenly you die and now the rest of your team has no lockdown and you can get kited forever.
So I think realistically, that's the game plan. As Aurora's, we're going to kite you, we're going to find this pangolier or we're going to kite the roll,
and then you have no lockdown and we're going to poke in and out, whereas Aurora is just charging in and they're not dying.
Yeah, I like party vision drafts quite a lot and I think they are very strong, but the mid game on a call to fight breaks out, it matters a lot.
Like you mentioned, you know, rolling into the grip. I think if you do it like very nicely in the dawn break, I can come in clutch,
like cancel you keep the fight going they'll be very happy but maybe like the grip comes
out the egg is like already popping like two or three seconds you jump into this fight
as the dawn now suddenly you get cooked with your pango like I think the way the fight
breaks out is like one of the most important things for this game.
I have a preference.
Slightly parry maybe.
Still?
Yeah.
Yeah I think so.
But for all three games if you track.
I think for me this is like it's very I can see both drafts winning I think it's gonna
be a very slow game I think we're gonna have a lot of hero kills I think it's gonna be
two teams that are quite happy like they're gonna play an active early game and then mid
the game is going to slow down a bit, you're going to look for more items, start to build
up your lead, a bit more of like a lead game for us, I think, for both sides.
Yeah, I mean this is tending to be how like the Larvo games go, it's an off-laner that's
like effectively a support, so nothing happens.
And I will say that I have underestimated how strong this hero can get once the game
progresses, so it's full comfort for Aurora, again, and it worked last game, so run it
back, I guess.
I mean, it's two different styles, and I think both can win.
I totally agree that I think it's a game where the draft is not even.
They're very different, but they both can win.
So I'm just going to see what happens.
We're going to find out what happens.
Game number three.
One of these two teams will be on match point by the end of this one.
Let's see how it plays out.
But no, it picks a long fall.
Game 3 time here in the Grand Finals, Aurora vs Paravision.
Aurora, we still missed it at the start of the last game, it was like game 3 same draft.
Kind of a big thing, we're getting the timing again, the Phoenix, the Bane support duo,
we're cutting back on the part that we saw from Game 1.
A little bit of a switch for the offence, there were bands that were heavy, WSW,
this hungry lug of overall, basically the same draft.
Aurora from Paravision, quite a bit different right now.
We're getting kind of the big one that we're seeing come through this IO the nine class
And he pretty much banned out all the time and looking at his win wins with this hero
He's had the chance to play it seven times whilst he's been on Para vision and he's won every single game
And I think they wrote something about like 24 in a row
I didn't see the pre-game stat if it came up saying he's only got 24
It might have been honestly in his pubs
He might actually be on some sort of insane win streak
By looking at the at least the pub profile that has the public games. They were all wins
It's always he literally may just win every game so on I a right now, right?
We have to talk about drafts in particular
I think a lot of it is gonna be if can you play versus the I own particular that nine class plays and how?
Comfortable is he gonna be on again after not getting to play it for some days?
Yes, for a lot of days last time he played it was a couple of months to go
Yeah, but yeah, I mean he's every time every time it's been a win for the longest of times
And he's a beast on this hero and the concept of this hero versus Phoenix
It hard counters in almost every way because the lane you buy headrests the fire spirits
Don't really do too much in mid game overcharge plus one hero
You can either bring them in for killing the egg
You have a lot of different opportunities to do it. So I think a lot of this pretty much most of the things
I'm gonna be focused on is is the aisle. I'm gonna try to keep track of all the rest of things
But it is really that important. I imagine it's gonna be kind of the dream of notice when you come silent the land with you
Yeah, great. This is uh, this is gonna be super chill. I mean this lane is gonna be like a nightfall
I might be able to get some farm up here, but in terms of being able to push them out of here
Unless there's a big mistake from nine-class, it's a free farm for notice and it I've seen this I'll literally become
Now I want to say a fourth court. He becomes like the second court. He becomes so absurdly farmed
So we'll have to see how that lane does go down because does feel fantastic for notice is that don't bring her
And yeah, and obviously outside of that there's gonna be that great pair with the Mercer down the line.
Yeah.
The clean pairing in fact.
You know, whilst we talk about the 9th class, DeKalus getting this Wish Doctor, the other support.
He's very happy.
Was banned last game.
Wasn't banned this time round.
And it did look like the Wish Doctor ban was quite a big factor in that winning game too.
So now that they've let it through, they might regret that Aurora.
Aurora he does look absurdly comfortable on it and we have to talk right there's so much healing that's gonna be coming into play top
They're looking for the commit kill it. They'll find they're gonna be able to get him so Corey
Don't manage to find the chance to punish nine class the first time round and
In comparison to the last two games
It was Kari giving the first blood to the slaughter and the lion's home
He's shown that they can't kill him even if he does have all that crazy sustain
We'll be able to just burst him with the full commit
Very nicely done up there
Kayari being, I mean, probably the best Phoenix player, and showing it especially in that last game.
Bottom, so the Maladit in this lane, it's definitely not going to be as effective, because it means same thing, there's a bang with Brainstap to counteract it, and also there's Largo with Insane Regen when he licks a creep to get that bonus, so overall the Maladit, maybe not going to be as oppressive as we saw it be versus the Timbersaw in particular.
But all in all, do you like that they settle with that murder not only just because the
eye of pairing but because it is a carry that might offer that little extra against the
punk in the mid game?
I think they needed some type of disable because looking at their draft they have no catch
versus some pretty hard heroes to catch so I think that is going to be the difference
maker and it's paired with the eye of right like you were mentioning it is probably one
of the stronger pairs since the overcharge just gives everything that you'd want right?
Balan plus that attack speed inside that mid game.
And just fill that ability right there, get the Muerta in the right position at the start
of fight.
Yeah, mobility is definitely important for something like a very immobile turret like
Muerta.
Mid lane, no one is having a slight edge at the moment here versus Makoto.
But on the slight, and Makoto's doing the same thing he did last time by the race band,
so cool to see that he likes it just versus the pango in particular, not just versus other
physical heroes.
Thanks, Mark.
I mean, the big test is going to be the early game, right?
Both of the games we've had, Aurora haven't done too hot across the board, right, in the
laning phases.
In particular, the bottom lane, which this time around, you imagine, is going to be a
different story.
Yes, absolutely.
I think the Largo is actually a pretty good answer in particular here.
Yes, the Muerta has this identity, but there's so much healing.
actually is so much healed that they can counteract this maledict with. It is now level 2 maledict,
so WS doesn't have to be careful how far he steps up, but he has been able to grab
the healing Lotus as well. So there's that maledict, set up, but he's got more than enough heals.
We'll be fine, we'll just be momentarily zoned away from the creep wave. Yep.
We'll look at creeps, get that extra regen. Those drops are sort of low, but
it's not nearly to a threshold to cast a worry.
Yeah, I guess so.
Why are you not giving up kills?
You're probably not going to be able to slow down Satanic's Pharma.
Maybe if we see a third year rotation that Kaori wants to, that's where they can bring
that extra damage in, but this is what 9-Class does on the aisle.
He farts.
I was going to say, what is it then about the 9-Class that has allowed him to just be
on an insane level with it and level that's evidently been impossible to defeat?
He has more farm than 3 positions.
I'm not even kidding.
How many of the games I've seen him do, he just gets this mech super early and then he even goes back, gets consecutive wraps or agonims and just transitions into this insane core.
Indeed, seeing that the builds that he's gone for the last couple of months has been sort of wraps, agonims, hearts, some cases of BKBs, holy lockets, glimmers, you know, there's some versatility, some games that the full grieves.
Kiyori, making the early move here, no one is bit limited on the mana pool, no coil just yet, and he does have back up now.
Kiyori in trouble, and my class, he's here to fluff up no one and allow him to turn the spirits coming in.
Not enough damage.
Oh, yeah, they do get enough mana.
His Washbuckles back up and he just has, just only just has enough to get that swashbuckle off.
Koto, does have coil.
So what he can do here, they're coming in as well, they'll get nine class, they'll get no one as well.
The brain step comes in, we'll get the shield crash off onto the bow for them.
He's into the trees and Decalus is here.
Provides a little bit of presence so that they won't be able to dive.
No one.
Look at the ruin that's bottom.
It's the dream for the both of them.
Decalus is just gonna stay, steal it away.
Can actually sustain if he wants to come back to knowing and heal him up.
It looks like he will just shoot back.
Oh, bottom.
Everybody's going back up to mid lane.
Notice.
Should be fine.
Decalus is gonna be back.
Ready to help him.
Um, don't sound too bad there.
Healing Loads just in a piece of the build once so not too much threat there for looking for notice all three lanes
Not falling behind for Aurora. So overall better this time around in terms of that
So yeah, I do think we're gonna have quite a different game this time around in terms of what happens in the mid game
Yeah, Mira is looking for his steel play not gonna be able to do it this time around
And overall how do these carries match up the the tiny into the noir?
It is there there's sort of a specific timing part of the game where one is necessarily a lot stronger than the other
I'm probably the tiniest lightly just being able to get in there and pop her, but kind
of difficult at times, because you have the backup of the IO.
Hard to say, because the dawn is also there, so there's always this like, you know, you
can't really go for that type of burn to play onto them where until they can't get that
angle.
It's probably a bit similar.
Notice the ferry.
A lot of damage.
He has to be careful.
Okay, already just making it work.
Anyhow, I wonder if there is going to be some switch up in the build from 9 class eventually
if he does get super farmed because he is playing versus percent base damage as the
game progresses versus that Phoenix.
We already saw what Kaori was able to do last time.
Titanic.
He's got a lot of healing.
He's got the Colossus back by his side.
Not even going to go for an aggressive play there, do Colossus.
He's just like, nope, I'm healing you.
Don't worry, I'm going to go for the play on the vein.
Power rune.
is looking to stop some of the stacks from 9 class, the power blend is gonna spawn. It'll
be bottomed so Mikoto will get it. Might make a move to look for the Muerta here. I just
got the 6 now. If you already steal any of these stacks, I'm just trying it. Doesn't get
any of them there. It does look like they are aware of the rotation from Mikoto, Mira
We'll just snipe a courier does get the delivery
That's more balanced even early game here, Mikoto in some ITP top
Yeah, try and get the don't break it before notice is ever connect to wherever else you're going on the map dream cause that
Barry heads up move from Mikoto. They started the dawn with six. Yeah, let's not make a move elsewhere
Let's kill the dawn prevent that solar guardian
Bottom WS should be just fine too here as the raindrop has more than enough healing.
So getting a little bit more here on the Largo than the Dawnbreaker in comparison.
That's going to have quite the knock-on effect because obviously that last game Aurora able
to get the win and that was with WS having a really rough start.
First time in the scram finals it's going to be a game where WS he's off to a perfectly
fine start from the off lane and he's going to have farm.
I noticed that the one shut down this time in comparison. Not as drastic by any means as it was for the timbers or anything, but slow down at least a bit here.
But yeah, not class-wise. He's gonna absorb, but at the same time we are seeing K-O-R at least matching his farm right now on the Phoenix.
And Vestal's gonna be very good this game. In fact, infinitely better this game than Primage-Any since it is a very heavy sustained draft coming out from Power of Vision.
Mikoto also, since he's playing versus some limited disables, obviously he can take advantage
of a lot of that in the game, but he will also have Largo in the mid-game, right?
So the Croke genius actually has a use, I've seen a couple of these Largo games that they
just don't have a good target for Croke, so, Puck being one of the best, let's see if
he gets a power run again.
Coming into the relocate, setting up Satanic to try and find an easy kill, and I'll get
Top immediately looking for notice, but
Chorus cook the eggs gonna use the option try and jump away the core one stop that
Able to survive they used quite a lot there on the side of Aurora so much global potential
So Aurora does have to be ready for that at all times here. I'll plus that dawn breaker moving heroes around very fast
And no one is doing the same thing that we've seen him do last time too not go to fuzo. It's no mage layer
So it's a most games are very magic damage area to draft for Aurora in the early times
I'll be very strong from early to counter
Night class has met
Between that and the solar garden they'll have
Multiple ways of bailing out
The cause if they do get gone apart
Perhaps in overall right for Aurora if the tiny's not there
Alright, there can be some instances of limited damage in the early game.
Yeah, these four heroes are unlikely to be able to burst through that until there is some sort of counter healing or like...
Unless they can just immediately pop the IO before he gets to sustain off.
But it could be a little annoying in this mid game.
And the stacks continue to be made.
While on the side of Aurora, they're not making the stacks.
They're just playing the lanes at the moment, so power vision.
They're gonna play that economy.
Nightfall and all though, after starting, a little bit dangerous for the first two after
getting first blood and all, top net worth having a very good entry and this game he's
going for the standard build.
Yes, doesn't feel obligated.
Indeed, that he has to kind of get this clean color off of you.
So Shadowblade will be a cool option for him.
They're looking for Satanic.
It's the Ult-Off.
Backup's coming in.
Got anything to finish him off?
They don't.
Nightclas is in with the heals.
Sandevi stepped from Decalis.
Nightfall will turn with the combo onto Wolf Decalis to get off the cast from the Maladar.
but we'll still die.
They've got the numbers on Aurora.
Spaces to have to save Tannick and Nonclas to run.
Mira's got sleep in two seconds.
Can he get Nine Class?
He will.
He's got the tether up though,
so see how far they want to chase for this.
Let's see if Tannick can protect Nine Class.
Silence comes out this.
So it'll...
The Guardian, Nonclas will try and stand the hill,
but the orb comes through from the coast side.
It's enough to burst, and no one know him from the sights.
Three-man sports buckle into the shield,
crash the rolling thunder to follow things up,
to avoid the area of the supernova stun.
They're kiting no one.
No one now, kind of against the five of them.
Doesn't really have enough on his own to bring anything down.
And now with the avalanche back up for nightfall,
that's just gonna be no one dead.
So the rolling thunder comes to a finish.
Aurora matching the...
Oh, you guys have global, you have ways to bring heroes in.
We're gonna bring five and just continue running at you.
Nice little aggressive play there.
Paravision even reacting to the play?
Yeah, those can't get anything out of it.
Big kills, considering that was a scenario in which,
in a Paravision, they used the molotov,
They use solar guard in the rolling thunder the mech come out from nine-class
Pretty much everything and Aurora still able to take him out one by one
Yeah, definitely seeing that lack of disable coming out from the side of Paravision unable to get the roll connection Kyori
He's got the dive
We'll be able to play out of this one and now has the vessel super early for him to the counter-ice a lot of that healing
Very good opening into this game Aurora the best the best entry into all three games that we've seen
I'm looking for the sleep.
That's got the fiends grip if you see the chance, but hard to do so when both supports or buys satanic side.
Wanting to make an aggressive boost, although Guardian is on cooldown.
Can they go for this on satanic here?
Little bit deep.
Makoto coming, they might look for that dive play here. Here comes Nifor.
Nifor, he's our hour, we can do this again.
Bringing the numbers.
When you get in with the combo straight away on it was Dukalis, but the heals were there from 9 class.
They'll turn with the Maladik, turn the deathmort down onto 9-4, he's got a run.
And we'll probably end up ticking out here to the burst of the Maladik.
And if he doesn't, no one would have him anyway, but indeed the Maladik's enough to finish him off.
And no one can catch more.
So the Guardian comes in to land straight on top of WS, with no one set up onto the Largo.
Paravision, they'll be able to find themselves a bit of revenge as they take out the 2.
So they have the stun?
Not up just yet. Won't be able to finish off the ban as he's TPing out.
They bring the numbers themselves this time around on the side of Paravision and oh and
honestly the witch doctor, the Maledict, making the difference, so much damage onto this tiny
first down.
What's he saying?
To this hero.
He's won every game on it and on to that.
Immediately just seeing a Maledict on that tanky hero, he does not look tanky very quickly.
I can't believe this is in this.
Like this hero has been before gone.
Witch Doctor being the hot topic of the Grand Finals.
Insane.
Have we been wanting to see this in Prodota and he's not like the college kept it hidden
He showed it a few days ago, right? But nobody else nobody else was looking at it. Nobody else was doing it
Mira, can you get the playoff?
This leap to call us
Get this into the ring to stop mayor from getting the steal and the malediction that's gonna bring mayor down
Something about this year watching it is so funny. I need to call us is playing it to perfection though
Really nicely done great rotations from him
Back to farming for nine class is holy lock it soon coming out even early game
That's something special to see about this which is crazy. Okay, all right continue having it incredibly impressive game on the Phoenix
But obviously down the line. It's it's gonna get harder for him. You know, we saw last game right how crazy the supernervers were
It's that's not gonna happen this time. They will kill the egg
Radiant are scanning.
We'll always be able to do it with the Isle of the Moira to either one who's there.
Notice that they're looking for him again.
Kaori.
Double skip for another strat on top of him is he's going to get any help.
No additional try and get out of range and honestly he's probably fine.
Vestal will not finish him off. He's able to walk away from this one.
He's even using, so what Kaori does so often is...
We'll know when he's looking for the bait.
We'll be able to bait Makoto jumping in.
Should be fine.
What I see Kori do very often is he ensures that he's super low HP every time he goes with the egg on face value.
So he gets the maximum potential of that dying light every time. It's really interesting how he plays with it.
Now that they did that change a couple patches ago already was, where you do the damage based on how low you are when you pop the egg.
So he's literally like 5% HP when he pops it. So it's doing the maximum.
There's a lot of damage.
So very, very cool how he does play around that.
Doesn't get the kill.
I just wanted to point that out.
70 seconds, doesn't have the egg.
Paravision has everything available for themselves.
Might see them bait noticed in the next upcoming couple of plays,
because we have seen Aurora set up to kill this Dawnbreaker a couple of times here,
so Paravision might look to play around him a little more here.
But at nightfall, he incredibly farmed this game.
He's going to have these timings much faster than the last two games.
He, as you said, he's going the more standard tiny build.
So we'll see how explosive the Shadowblade can be to find some of these pickoffs.
This can just kill heroes 100 to 0 if he does find the A.
Yeah, which is going to be pretty important, right, because of the levels of sustained power vision have.
If you want to deal with this lineup, you've got to kill them quick and fast.
Yeah, full burst.
WS.
Starting to get slowed down a decent amount on this Largo in comparison, even though it's been the dawn who's been ganked quite a lot more.
Notice, it's having that difference.
And notice he's doing the build that you like, by the way. He's just doing Eco-Saber stand.
I'm a much bigger fan of that. We've seen obviously a few of these kind of Orchid Rush games, and...
It just can feel a little off sometimes, but, yeah, this...
It gives a lot of options when it comes to farming, and just keeping up and scaling well.
It's too hard to go for this play. I think this is also another reason, like, with the Muerta, why it was picked,
versus that Vayne in particular, if you want to get these catches, you do have to know where the Muerta is to.
Long range dead shot, just clipping you, stops any of your type of creeps.
So you see the game slowed down.
But the net worth is...
It's kind of staying stagnant overall.
Blink is finished now for no one.
So we'll potentially look for more of these in Dresden, or even defensive plays to play around his Dawnbreaker.
They're gonna smoke with that.
Yeah, both teams going for the spark.
Mikoto I think also does have the blink, so the blink which played for him.
Egg is at the ready.
Expecting a move over here onto Nightfall, it looks.
Now hit the scan.
No, he's here. They're gonna fight to Carlos first, but there's the backup. No one's in with the rolls.
So the guy is coming in as well. They've caught the tiny, malleting down upon him.
They're bringing the boy out to the damage there to take Nightfall out.
As without the tiny, there's no fight to be had here for Aurora. They've got to get out.
They're thinking about going back in, perhaps.
That could be risky. Oh nice silence.
Catch no one.
The shield crash off but they will get him.
Mirror up.
Does get bought down by notice.
Should have the dawn as well.
Looks like the rest of them are going to get back over to help with these nine glass tries.
Now he's in trouble.
They actually end up falling apart massively.
It looked like they were going to be able to take away that fight in their favor
but it falls apart over time Paravision.
Barry had to go play for Marora chasing.
They get the silence I think to prevent the relocate from being
Everything they couldn't leave them where to or anything. They get fully outnumbered great recognition in the fight
They're from Aurora in the photo in particular
That was hot and they didn't have to use a guy so kairi is now level 12 has the egg available
And he's stealing some of the farm on the stereo
Very good sign that they're able to win those fights even when they lose the tiny at the beginning like that
It was everything committed. Yeah, it's literally every spell
And yeah, good recognition being able to chase for it, and didn't use Ag.
So yeah, KOR for the next fight, they'll have that advantage for it.
If they want it, look for a fight themselves around it.
Very impressive fight there from Aurora, we'll see it again.
As a fight can start, you think for Power Vision, can't really ask for much more.
You get the carry kill.
And even though now at this point, Almond's like, OK, maybe Aurora's got to be careful.
No, Aurora said we can wait this out.
Get back in on them one by one.
And wait for that relocate, right?
As soon as he jumps in, he silences all three of them to ensure that they can't stop him and get the perfect jump.
Back in the game?
They're gonna get themselves enough of a potential aura.
He's healing.
Oh, the silence is out.
Looks like DeKalus will get the lost off this time.
Very comfortable on his witch doctor. He has the essence ring too, so he can more heal, so he can kick in.
Max voodal restoration.
BKB now finished up for Nightfall, so we'll be a bit more protected than that last one.
He does get hit from all the burst damage before he gets it off, and the Maladix on him, not gonna protect him.
Nightful?
He wants to play aggressive, they still have Egg available to Kaori, joining in behind, they're bringing the numbers.
They can find Satanic first, they're gonna catch him with the Silenced Knife, will bring the damage to Solar Guard, but the Tector cuts in as well, they've got the heals to back him up, and to try and turn this around.
It's the BKVTP out from Nightful, gets him out of there.
WS, can he run away as well? It looks like he will, but no one can not get the catch with the roll-up, so they do beat a heavy reaction, and we do see the lack of catch, not being able to get anybody here, no one?
Kind of speaking about getting back in on someone.
There's a lot of heals there.
Aurora's coming back to look for the fight. Everything was used on the side of Paravision, and Aurora did not use much. They just used that BKB in the coil.
Pretty fearless right now, Aurora.
Oh, they actually have coil-up themselves again, so, Likoto.
You can tell that they know how strong they are, how much they can kind of punish these little windows that
that they're open each and every time the ParaVision have used these big saves.
They're just doing a great job of resetting even out of the fights on the side of Aurora.
Jocuno's in, so we get the coil off straight away onto the two of them,
they'll separate the IO and the Moerze, allows them to take the IO out.
Space will be there though, this time for Static to run away.
Yeah, this time around, bit of an over-commitment from Aurora looking for that quarter, he'll be able to survive.
A pair of his, and they're gonna pretend to have a window themselves,
when they do have the aisle respawn to look for a fight against this agon cooldown.
The nightfall will have VKB, so hard for them to look for him.
Well, that's a keeping up, though.
Yeah.
It's standing not far behind the farm on nightfall.
Last game is super close on the numbers.
K-O-R-H is being honestly the difference in terms of farm.
He has 120 last hits as well on this Phoenix.
He's gonna have a hex at an insane pace.
He kind of carried in the last...
That's pretty quick, Nick.
Yeah, the fact that he's nearly got more farm than WS's lag on...
Yeah, he's actually on the last hit, so he's getting a lot this game.
Me too.
We'll get stopped.
We're gonna need to relocate as well.
They're speeding up, they're resetting again.
Can they make it out? WS?
Juky, watch this.
Juky, there's some good Jukes there.
I mean, no one's not able to get a touch when I'm at full.
Don't fight, Kaori.
So, WS.
Absolutely breaking the ankles there, no one.
They're going back in.
Looking for the fight.
No one out there. It's on the high ground. He's gonna get the chance to set up with silence on to the satanic.
Nightmare for now on to notice.
Little awkward again.
They are healing back up. Io is respawning. Io's at the top.
You can nightfall find a way back into this.
Nightfall is looking to go for Night Class actually in the top side.
Look at the purple kill.
Night Class is not gonna expect this, you'd imagine.
Okay, maybe he does. He actually pops out the dust.
I think he saw Mira's TP. Perhaps might still get caught. Nice ball.
Ravillage, into the sauce. Couple of hits.
He's got him.
Very, very quick moves to punish him whilst I'm low, and he's making them really want with it, though.
The Tether comes in.
The sauce will do it, though.
They bring nine class now.
We'll be able to get an exchange of a Tormentor.
Such fast moves from both sides.
Great individual plays as we're seeing.
Just responding to each other.
quite beautifully here and we're talking about K.O.R.I. having such a good time here.
Being so farmed they do get the kill on to him here, start getting the ball rolling
for paravision as well. The reason these two teams aren't in the finals, they're
matching each other's pace quite beautifully here even though the kills
aren't the craziest in this game. You can just see both are very keen to
fight. Makoto is yet to die in this game, he's gonna have the Parasma finish
stuff his damage is increasing quite drastically on this box too. I mean it
really goes to show how much this line of preparation lacks the means to deal
with the puck early on. Get away with this blink into straight up
Parasma, zero deaths. The pucks are a huge problem. And WS too a couple of these
fights are able to just skirt himself out yes they get a kill onto a Phoenix
because of it but he is dancing through those rolling thunders a couple times
here. Alright K-R-8, he has hacked. This has to be one of the earliest Phoenix
four-pussy five positions. These are huge items, I mean. BKB on WS,
Parasmo on Makoto. Notice. Hi Paul. Oh, he's not gonna see him there. Makoto will though.
They've got the grip straight away onto the door breaker. You know, kids coming in.
I won't be able to save the door. Oh, do they really want to fight this? I mean, bringing him to the
Moe-Asa, they have the Rolling Thunder as well as night for post-the BKB. Yanks himself down,
Back off for now, WS by his side to try and help him bail out of this one, as the rolling thunder does come through an end.
That's pathetic. He got left here.
That's true, because they opted to take no one out instead.
He's dead.
I mean, Nightclust, he had to make a choice.
He's like, who do I bring back out with me?
He saves no one.
And that plate doesn't then have the option of saving the moe after.
And now, don't worry.
No, I'm just being in trouble anyway, here in the mid.
Nightclust.
Here comes Kaori. He has the hex.
Can't quite close the gap.
Makoto's gonna keep chasing for sure.
Nightfall's coming in.
There he has the angle with the avalanche.
Onto DeKalus takes out the witch, Doctor.
Makoto continues to chase the harpoon drive back onto Nawa.
Does get hexed, but he does get out with the blink during all of it,
because he was in the roll-up.
That was an interesting little play there.
It's the roll-up, right?
He's hexed in the roll-up, but he blinks during the roll-up,
so when he pops out of the roll-up, he's hexed there,
so it just looks funny.
And this hex pickup though,
absolutely insane how fast he's able to get in.
We saw it immediately used to kill Satanic.
Aurora, starting to run away with this would have been here,
at least in terms of getting these kills,
in terms of getting progression.
Paravision though.
They won't keep fighting.
Instantly looking for a fight.
Roll up is cooled down for 10 seconds.
Our volent thunder, sorry.
It's pretty crucial to allow them to start the fights now.
Outside of the pango.
Don't really have any heroes that are ready to just jump in and begin the play.
A lot of it is having to react to Aurora, and this we've seen so far in the last few fights.
Aurora, they don't care when you react to them.
They're playing, they're dancing, truly dancing in and out of the fights, finding the perfect pick-off tonightfall.
He has the crit now finished up as well.
Just waiting for their ults to come back up. The egg is 20 seconds.
Paravision wasn't able to find anything there with that ult.
It's just feeling a little too much of our vision to deal with in these fights, just again, the fact that they cannot kill or get close to killing this pup, Makoto, having a beautiful game.
And so far, Kayori is proving that the Phoenix has an advantage over the Isle, at least in terms of how they've been able to play this game.
Has the extra farm over him and yet to see them really be able to just go for the egg in any way.
Radiant are scanning.
It doesn't even have the shard yet too, so has quite a fit to throw here on this Phoenix 947.
No one.
They're gonna see him. Straight away with the fiend's grip. They'll try and take him out to safety, and they will manage to do so that...
He's dead!
...she'll never mind the damage is still done. 9 class cannot save him.
They almost even pulled him out of the tether there with the Largo. That was close.
A 9 class. Very likely dead. On the way back.
The hex is there. Another one for Aurora, another one for Nightfall.
They're looking so good in this game
Playing around this park yet to die nightfall also having a fantastic game and this the same draft pretty much
That's the same. Why they keep running it back. They did not care the game one when as miserable as it did
Game two they come up with the turnaround and now here in this game three
They never really were that far behind never were behind in this one really
Getting better and better each time with this draft as I'd imagine you
Keep going, when you're doing pretty much the same thing, back to back to back, it's going to get better and it certainly is from Aurora.
And Sotanic potentially caught again, Mikoto is looking for him.
Can they get up and close WS? Does he throw it out?
They have a pretty good breed on the angle that he's running.
Oh, they're trying to spell?
Okay, they want to try and try.
And Mikoto will be a huge kid if they get it and they do.
What a big play, can he get up though?
I don't think he can, there's the hex.
I mean, notice he's gonna have the BKB TP out by the Titanic, he won't.
I mean, honestly, you probably take that.
If you're killing this Puck, who is yet to die, so...
You know, not great that he can't get out, but you're killing Makoto for the first time this game.
And you take what you can get, cause you're probably dead anyway, right?
So, that was pretty cool play there, at least individually from Titanic.
Bring in the Dawnbreaker as well.
At least, notice doesn't get caught as well.
That's the big thing.
Gem picked up for Aurora.
as nightfall very close to date this is gonna crazy damage and even though you
have so much you stand in your draft you may not be able to get some of it off
because of how big the burst you just might die that quickly cuz even before
right even the in no one on a panel who's relatively tanky does die
nine class this is the pivot that we're seeing in the build right is gonna be
going for the BKB to go to protect himself. Kyori has hit level 18, so does have
level 3 egg all ready at this point. He is literally a core. He's the same as the
Largo and the Pango and the Muerta, insane levels that he's been able to find this year.
Yeah, I feel obviously with the fact that they're all kind of getting to play similar
heroes each time. It's basically Aurora's individual players trying to do their best
to say, look you need to ban this. It's that good and at the moment pretty hard
to say that necrory is not doing his best at making that case and saying you give me phoenix i'm
gonna have a good time i don't see him almost ever have a bad time on the phoenix we always do say
has the partisan sprints through with greedy this roche they're posing the threat to paravision
i don't think satanic has bkb yet to look for this fight i'm not quite yet have forms of gold
short of having it on the mo air so they're looking for the fight should i follow finish the roche it's
He's already gone, they'll do get the kill on the roach, but Aegis is going to get picked up by Nightfall.
He's going to get the grab on a notice, into the combo, notice getting tossed back and put the PKB in a run.
Nightfall, a couple more right clicks, won't kill him, the dead port doing a lot of damage.
Will be put to a scope though by the Avalanche.
He's got the Vito switcheroo, Tata, a little bit more, but will get left behind to Carlos as that comes to an end.
The rest of ParaVision at least able to split.
This egg is too much for them to deal with too.
Peori just puts it in their faces and yeah you have I.O. Murph. You can't kill it.
You cannot turn it.
Not pre-PKP at least.
No.
It's gonna be there for the next fight so he's got the BKB done now.
He really needs it for this next fight.
And I.O. potentially too to be able to address this egg.
They just put it in their faces time and time again here.
And this tiny, the knife, he gets his hands on someone and it's crazy damage to Tani.
Letting out, but they don't catch him with the Nightmare of the Grimps.
There's anything to put a stop to it. It's a pretty big grip the solar guy is
He's alive gets the old stuff. Oh my god
And shoot them down
They did not get him down if they could go for round two on nightfall looks like they certainly can nightfall cannot run from this
as the damage comes through
Paravision striking back hard despite the ages being in the hands there at the tiny this time round
They couldn't quite burst him getting that PKB off before the grip just limiting the damage coming into him
and getting the chance to pop the ult and fire back.
Don't know if they saw that BKB in time.
They tried to commit fully for him,
but he does have it to get one disabled,
and that's it.
Keari, right?
He wasn't there.
Doesn't have the egg available too,
so it was a perfect time for Paravision to fight back.
Clutch, solo Guardian as well,
till we did see that level 20 talent coming into play.
Naidle, did it.
It was there, keeping him alive and allowing Satanic
to absolutely pop off.
And now, next big round of back pickups,
notice gets the AC, we'll see again.
You know, they kind of knew he was there. Very quick mirror with the Nightmare into the Grip.
But just honestly, the fact that 9-plus took the Nightmare off,
gave that little bit of an unexpected window for him to press BKB before the Grip came in.
And it's a dangerous spot to really do it when you don't have all your spells considered,
so you don't have your Phoenix with that egg to cover you with the Sunray either.
They get punished. I mean, that's a very, very impactful fight to lose there on the side of Aurora.
And then, now, right after having BKB, a full item potentially gonna be coming out also.
I mean, if this is the thing, right, the Moeta's only gonna get stronger,
and it is a Moeta with an IO, and a nine-class IO that doesn't lose games, so...
You know, as much as Nightfall's tiny, can be crazy in the later stages of a game,
he's not got an IO with him.
This next fight has to be crucial for Aurora, has to be much better with the execution in particular.
Which is around the mirror.
Gets caught.
They're gonna try and get these kills, snowboard in their favor, they pick a mirror.
Kodoh will do a little play his way out of it, has the octane, should be safe.
These BKBs are going to be very crucial for the side of Paravision. If they can pop them before
they can get, if they can kill them before they get the BKBs in particular first,
but difficult to see that now at this point. Yeah, I mean if the Mertz gets a BKB and an
ult off, she lifts, and these fights, Aurora just have to, they have to run.
Can I pull?
Oh, he's afraid.
He doesn't want to try and go for this witch doctor.
Knows that there's very likely more behind the car.
This game.
Oh, dude, and he is.
He's improved.
I'm telling you, he's improving the build every game.
He's actually going to go through.
This game is actually going glimmer, Ags.
Oh, wow.
He knows.
I wonder what he's been holding back
in the witch doctor games.
I'm going to go easy on you guys.
I'm not going to prioritize the Ags, but everyone,
everyone watching our home knows this is the only way
to play the witch doctor support.
Get yourself an Aghanim's.
I wonder what the indicator is for him to feel like he wants to do.
Because this game also eats the gree-greed relatively early on, so very interesting.
Maybe it feels like there's going to be so much distractions in the fight, right?
That he's just going to be able to eventually pop it down.
We'll see if it actually has any type of effect, or if he does fully commit.
Imagine he does commit.
Go ahead.
Because you go Aghanim's BKB right now.
Listen to support.
Because the only thing that stops it then is the fiend's grip.
That's a lot of gold, but yes.
He's not gonna fiend script you.
Sure.
If he can get to that point, then they probably win the game.
It's actually game over.
Yeah, if he can get there, but...
Oh, that's like...
Yeah, that's like 7,000, 8,000.
Next crucial things.
Gonna be halved up to the initiation.
Nightfall is switching again, going for a blink.
Wants to be able to get in and potentially burst in one shot.
I mean, he's seen that that witch doctor started to build an axe,
and he knows who your priority number one is.
He's like, I gotta stop that death ward!
Damn it, Owen!
But before we're all dead!
I'm a man, son, for Aurora, he's got a shot, one for Nightfall.
Nightclas is now queuing up that heart that he does want to have.
Yeah, he does like the spell.
Yeah, it's tankier that he gets, the burst damage versus the tiny does get less threatening.
So what we have, the Ag's element got nerfed or changed, right, because he was picking
that up the last two times two months ago, but it's different now, or just a farming
item.
If you can get it very early, it allows you to get everything else that much faster.
This is not one of those games because it's too close for him to do something that greedy.
That's right.
He hasn't been able to farm, I think, as much as he usually likes to as well.
He has to sacrifice himself multiple different times here.
Satanic gets the conjurer's catalyst as well, too, for these upcoming fights.
Okay.
This game, I'm gonna get it. It's super close.
If he gets BKB and Pistov-Elof, Aurora...
I mean, they've got pretty good ways to kind of disengage, right?
They have four of them as a part.
Yep.
They've got a Largo ready to let them run away, so they do have ways to kite out the
Muerta, especially considering the fact that they just do not have a huge amount of lockdown
outside of rolling thunder and clutch paralyzing cars.
Yeah, I'm looking to see when the Basher's are coming out.
They're not just yet.
I mean, these fights are very difficult in terms of determining who's going to be able
to just win them straight up.
Ohhhh, they're cutting an ice block!
They're going to get found by the silence! The Hex comes out! The Supernova's there! They're dragging back!
None of you, the Hex! He's dead!
No chance of saving him!
They kill the ice block so quickly!
Oh, it's not caught. They're going to get him as well.
They were not ready for that one-bit paravision. They were caught completely by surprise.
They fall with the reveal. They get the catch with the Hex from Kaori, still showing how clutchy it can be.
immediately to top two noticed I'm not for playing it fast
concern this into something else noticed is quite tanky
see they're swinging over Kari yeah I know he's
he's not sticking out on the map any further than any longer than he needs to
notice straight back to the base
they both teams have such explosive damage on their side that
it could just happen in an instant 30 seconds trying to take advantage of this
where to get it in the Koto still only the one down on it has an a on this too for
the next potential goal that they look
decent amount of time without the lights at 10 seconds until the state can it is
back up the running comes in they're gonna try and start the defense without
it fields groups there look down no one will be at a break this way out of it
with the solar guardian back up coming into play.
Nightfall.
No, she's tracking herself forward here with a hammer,
trying to get on top of the tiny Nightfall attempting to run.
Maladix.
Is ticking him down low and is gonna get him with the next tick.
That's gonna be Nightfall gone.
They hold the defense
and ever do so without any buybacks having to come into play.
Dude, the Maladix.
Actually, the Mal- I need to see the damage up from the Maladix.
Look at that!
Insane.
Yes, you get the BKB off, but it was after all of this, everything went out to him.
get threatened. They hold. They do. They lose a tier three for the parrots. They
permanently flying here in the mid lane. I mean both teams as we said just have
insane amounts of damage coming in. Even the dawn breaker we're seeing notice.
Having pretty ridiculous farm and we're seeing how much he can do with it if he
connects onto these targets. He buys a basher too. Expert control.
It's gonna be... I mean he really knows that yes there's still very much the case of him
being able to go on the map, go on the lane wherever he wants. Must have to be a
a little careful here to get caught.
It's just so hard to catch it.
I feel forced into the coil.
It has to be satanic, tripping them up with a silence from the pool,
until they have a basher.
When they have a basher, either on the pango or the dawn,
even one little bash, just because of how much explosive damage they have,
it could actually kill them.
Yeah.
They did not pop his tail into the relocate.
We're gonna try and get it onto the high ground as they'll find Mara.
Can they get WS?
They can get a connection with the rolling thunder.
Should be enough stun to allow Satanic to dish out the damage.
It's A-first.
Great reload flight.
Catching Aurora off guard.
Nightfall, immediately looking for a play himself.
Can't quite connect though.
Paravis and Gable to reset again here.
Grosh in about a minute.
Two heroes dead.
Aurora has to be careful.
I'll come ready, A-Fu, not a one.
Aurora has to be careful for this next up coming fight.
The stuff, two heroes dead.
K-Yori has a full refresher for the next fight.
then you gotta watch out for this phoenix, he gets a double sort of hex off into a supernova
Double, hex what do you mean?
Those are the fresh items
That's true, sorry, what year is it? 2021?
Gotcha
There we go
Just testing the viewers
But then everybody passed the test, everybody called me an idiot, correct?
Oh, good easy
You passed
I got you, instant
Baster, number one
Yep
They stop for pango with the nullifier, does have that control
We'll be able to get rid of that aion disc potential and the Baster is there for the dawn
So do you have BKB piercing disables as well?
There's a lot of bash potential.
There is.
Because if you want to get it on a moe answer, and then with the IO that's 25, the IO gets it as well.
Imagine that, with the attack, tether down those targets.
You're gonna proc a bash.
True.
Yep.
Nine class.
It's pretty big brain though, might be too big brain for these guys.
We'll see.
One, two, yeah.
And we're gonna tether time into the relocate, where are they going?
Just bottom.
It's now the wave.
It's the 20 talent, so it's got like zero cooldowns.
I'm getting Stigtanic very close to 25, and he's picking up a lot of XP on the map.
There's two levels ahead of Nightfall, so just finding that much more space, really.
Looking to get out on the map, Aurora.
A couple big items picked up from the Codo.
Oh, it's a non-Mira! He's gonna get straight in!
Ghost Scepter will provide a bit of safety, but it's taken off by the nullifier!
Oh, God, the damage!
Aurora, why did the strike back?
He gets the Roller!
Roller's gonna be up to the high ground.
Nightfall? Say, Tank, he's just running!
Aurora, they don't wanna try to fight five versus four.
No, one is in.
They're disengaged now.
Aurora?
Get a Dream Corps though!
Only onto Static!
Get the BKB!
Get the BKB!
Get the BKB!
It's not a Guardian coming out as well!
The look for the egg!
Can they kill it off the edge?
They can't here with the Malayata in prime position!
Kaori and W are shot down by Static.
Without the pain, they go for the fight a little over aggressive for Aurora.
Now the Roche is going to go down in seconds here too.
They just can't rely on the strength of the Phoenix with the egg, like they did last game as we're seeing, they will go straight for it!
Every time now, Baravision!
Yeah, absolutely, at this point they can just run it down if they do have the Muerta with BKV with that IO.
Swift blink, Sutanic is gonna spell that mask of endless, he'll have people to have that to jump in, and there it is, the Wishdoctor.
He's ready to go with the Agonyms, and you gotta think about the... something.
It's 50 seconds, where they've only got three heroes up a row, it's there to try and hold the defenses.
They're not going to be easy. They do have to swiftly get done on nightfall.
But it's not cool. The BKBs aren't cool down.
You can't fight here 3 vs 5. They might just...
They have to stack a line of racks here.
Yeah, I think they do.
Every little thing matters in this game.
For the side of Aurora as we're seeing.
Dakota, trying to delay.
Look at the Aghanim's for baying.
No one is just hit on him. Doesn't get a bash.
Just keeping him away from the barons. Making sure the space is there.
I think he bashed a creep actually.
I count the full set of Barracks.
Stop! Now back off, Paravision.
Respect the fact that Aurora is going to be back up.
But you can bet for sure that Paravision is going to look to push again in these next four minutes.
They're looking for fights.
They're feeling incredibly strong now at this point.
Getting all these next big items.
Still having the Aegis as well.
Two level 25 hits. The Tannix damage has gone even further up.
Aurora.
Ag back up in 15 seconds.
He doesn't want to use a fragile, he's got to be so careful.
Javi, the jumpback shows us that he wants them on the high ground.
Nightfall turns with a BKB in the combo.
Lots of notches, but he's got enough notches.
Javi gets the solo guard, you know?
The death ward's down, they've got to get away from it.
No one will die.
St. Janik finds the chance to bring down Mira.
The buyback's actually coming in here for no one.
Makoto, he's trying to kill off Dakalis.
The Buddhist, which are who's there, Dakalis, he's fine.
Makoto will jump back in, look for notice, but the glimmer comes out.
The food and restoration as well.
Healing the Dawnbreaker up.
They'll get noticed out of that.
They're able to fully focus fire onto no one though. They got the grip on the logo and he did buy back
He did buy back
They tried to relocate in the face of the bane, but he was able to disengage because he has the agonist
So they do end up finishing off that pango
Amplified damage room though for safe turnicum with this swift blink and ages
She can be sure that he's ready to jump into the base. They do not have those BKBs up so anyone will die. Yep
Night class also is starting to be he is pretty much vulnerable. He's hard to take down now
Have to fully focus fire him but there's so many different distractions now at this point on the side of para vision for Aurora
It's hard for them to just hit a target. We've seen not many if any people have been able to defeat the 9 class IO
He's won every game that he's played the IO with para vision look at the building drop to the muerta as well
Pop the glyph
Kodo trying to continue stalling but has to be cautious himself
I mean, what are the next big pickups for Aurora that they're looking towards?
I mean, I think they have all the big pickups in particular, they just have to get the execution
and try to kill him before he can get one of these abilities off in particular, neither
the BKB or the Pierce available, but there's just so many different bailouts for him.
I mean, what does Karori look for next?
Does he even maybe need to get a blink himself so he can get a bit of an easier angle to
try and find these supernovas or is it just he's just never like when what's
the situation is he able to get an egg off this game he just has to dive and
go for a while there it has to be this distraction yeah it can't be the main
focus though they have to have nightfall with BKB hitting on top of them yeah they
have to have everything synergized at the same time that fight in mid they have
like nobody around him not Bane was dead so they have to just have it in unison
I think the items right now already hit and this is gonna be good at least we
can get it off but I think they have the items that they need they just have to
get that execution and so far Paravizion, these last few fights step ahead in terms of that.
Cold, however though, is still incredibly close.
Mikota will have a Shiva soon, this will be nice. He is very annoying in the fight, so that's his job is to be this distraction,
of allow his team to get in and get this egg, get the Tiny in position.
And still only died the one?
Yes.
None of these team fights he's died in, just dying to that kind of tricky little situation where Satanic caught him by
by surprise if it's a turn around up top.
It comes to the team fights,
and Koto's still been very much unchecked.
They don't have ways to catch him.
And no one for the next fight, right?
He did use the bi-box.
He does have an A on this to protect him,
but if they can full focus that pain,
though, the number is for more.
Look, they're gonna try and burst through the ages quickly,
but the Hacks, they bring him down low,
and they've got him the ones.
So the guy just comes in,
will put a stop to the fiend's grip,
or can they do it on the second life?
Satanic is gonna back off for now.
We'll get caught in the coil alongside nine glass.
No one is in.
They're probably just gonna reset a little bit now, Aurora.
How much do they want to chase?
Mikoto wants to at least poke and give some info, but I don't know how far they want to
fully chase forward without grip.
They want every single tool at this point.
Be able to get that Aegis, be able to disengage.
Nightfall, almost level 25 himself.
A pretty important 25, I would say, just the chain stun.
As we're seeing, it is all important if you can chain stun and just burst that one target.
That's going to be very important for the 9th class to sort of be, you know, super reactive
with the relocates out to the side potentially if the merch is getting jumped.
Aurora, looking for the catch, solo guardian on cooldown, falling thunder for 20 seconds
also.
Can they find somebody here?
Looks like Power Vision is expecting the play, they're playing careful.
Titanic is going a bit of a different build too, at least we're seeing.
the hex makes sense versus the puck right he has enough damage just needs to
have that extra bit of catch for his team perhaps that's absolutely
necessary yeah Carlos in the front line drop the coil onto him alone it snaps
and nightfall comes in with a combo takes him out for WS gets destroyed here
by the output of no one and satanic nice walk can he get out doesn't protect
him either bash is already coming into control nightfall he'll still manage to
back up to the high ground the buyback comes in and return from WS. Good response there
Aurora looking to strike back jump forward. Solar Guardian is at the ready.
No PKP on 9 for now. Sintanik doesn't have one either. Makoto is trying to poke and get info.
It's getting a lot of info. They're looking to drag back into another fire but the
face shifts there Makoto. He just got caught by the silencers though the call he catches him.
They've got him! They've caught him this time round! The group will come out in 9 class, but the solo guardians after ready for notice, they'll shoot down the egg!
They finally get the puck!
They do. Tate Janik catching him in the silence!
The fights are looking hard for Aurora to really hit anybody. They're all too tanky Owen. Even if they get the angles, they cannot burst them in Makoto.
All takes is one trip up.
He gets caught by that silence there from the Muerta.
It's looking hard for Tiny to hit anybody.
Either they go ethereal, or they're just insanely tanky themselves.
Or glimmered, or get food to switch a rude.
Couple different things we've seen there, and yet notice.
He took the supports for easy to kill.
Yeah, and notice every time, right?
The solo Guardian is covering the entirety of the teamfights.
Very hard to approach.
It's time for the push.
Take out the final tier 2 tower and power vision.
Satanic might even eat the moonshark before going for the X now,
now, since he does have the gold for it soon.
Level 25 soon for the IO as well.
These buybacks are almost certainly going to have to come out.
Joe O'Horn, he's in.
Straight away, they get the catch on a mirror into the Starbreaker combo, that's the paying
guard.
Nightmatch also with a three-man avalanche, looks to burst through to Carlos and will get
him.
They bring down the Wichita, to Deffra Hunter with his buyback called Avagori.
He dies before he can get the supernova off and he's out for good.
A dieback from the Phoenix.
Let's see, let me get the sleep control on some notice, nice full chance with the avalanche,
notice pot to take that, but there's nothing to hit, nothing to heal off.
So it may have been a dieback on Kaori, but they do push back.
Sotanic is looking to potentially go back in here, WS.
He's in a scary spot.
He's not going to risk it too much, that doesn't add up to the high ground outside of the base,
heads back to the safety of the base.
They didn't see the other heroes on Aurora, they couldn't jump and make it for Kaori.
refreshes but doesn't get the egg off get first before he can but then notice
goes a little bit too deep themselves gets killed as well but happy buybacks
coming in there from the side of Aurora to hold on
more and more costly these defenses so Aurora try to hold back against Para
vision and find some sort of way to set up a fight themselves they're stepping
out of the base I mean can they look to try and make an aggressive move about
Phoenix that's cool. He takes the relocate cast delay
It's insanely fat. You're not gonna interrupt this
You can either bring people in or bring people out at an instant now. So, okay. That's really cool to say
Which yeah, it could be pretty huge especially they get kind of caught by this full duration lockdown at the tiny or
It makes sense right because the main thing that the parra business worried about is getting first instantly right if you can just
Relo in that one second, it's so fast, you'll probably be able to save the main guy, right? Main Satanic.
28 seconds, no Phoenix, paravision, looking to punish.
And they have this fresh hex on Satanic, so if they do catch Mikoto, he is just dead.
As long as no one's there to turn an old fight.
Looking with this trio.
The rotor will disengage.
I'll be so careful with the buyback situation in Verora.
Only nightfall.
They will pretty much have it up just under 100 gold away, so he'll have it, but everybody
else pretty much out for good.
And let's see if Nightfall can actually hit these targets, because I think the last three
or four teamfights, they're unable to kill any of these, I mean the big core in particular,
Zatanic.
Not able to deal with the IO either.
He's hit this critical mass point, he's too tanky.
Taking on the high ground, Roche. It's a very fast respawn. Bloodstone finished off for
WS. I'm going for that. One thing about this Bloodstone is, yes, the heal over time is
very good. The thing is, the heroes are dying almost instantly, so it has to be careful
with this positioning.
Let's crush it, Paravision.
Now where Aurora's at?
See Makoto coming with the jump!
Decent burst!
They're bringing him down to half HP.
Look at the Hex off onto no one.
Instant four staff, Static.
Got some good caught.
This sort of skill combo as well, right between the witch dog to the I.O.
Crazy amount of heals coming out from right now.
At 20 as well.
Yup.
Right here's the 1% maximum as well on the right.
Aurora, looking for the angle, but Paravision's here.
He's not gonna jump it first, he's in with the BKB in the oar, and he's found the bang!
Get rid of Nera before there's any threat of a fiend's grip!
Hundred seconds, he's gone.
See, Makoto?
I'm gonna force the...
...own this reaction out of no one.
Oh, crap, noticed it took two thousand, it was two thousand damage from that combo.
The jumps, maybe initiations are everything, as we see.
Paravision, if they get even a single hero caught, they just die immediately, and Aurora...
...is still struggling to find that cast Paravision.
Step ahead in terms of movements. I mean they could probably walk to the pit and take it now, right?
Or is it still risky against the four?
Titanic's in.
Pull up on the coil. It's a very aggressive coil.
I noticed. He's gonna get his hands on WS! He's gonna get the logo! He's out!
Now with the roll he's under up to the side, they might just find more.
Cory has to use the supernova to protect himself.
They're gonna kill off the egg! They've got it! They kill the egg!
They turn to Nifle, he'll turn and try to stand his ground with the lyre still from the state tannic, but it will not keep him alive for dead.
On Aurora and ParaVision, they can claim the Aegis.
They're just too strong in these fights, now the Egg is not what it once was.
They just died of these BKBs, these last 15 minutes are still ParaVision winning every single fight.
And WS doesn't get the BKB off, he will die instantly if he does this.
It's a very scary bit of a map to be in there.
in the catch, Makoto.
Satanic straight into the plate to make sure
that he can take down the egg thing.
The heck's on Makoto?
Get the phase shift off.
But he has been maledicted, and the bash is there straight
as he comes out of the phase shift.
He's dead for two minutes.
That might just be it.
It's nightfall.
It's going to be him versus the world with the mirror bane
if he wants to buy back.
Yes.
Paravision, these fights.
Around Satanic, 15, 3 and 16, this is where to pick absolutely working.
They cannot kill him, they can't focus him in the mirror.
Very much looking like Paravision.
At this game 3 in the back.
It felt like they hit a certain point and the fights were absolutely impossible for Aurora to approach.
There's two tanky around this Isle, and nine classes continuing to prove his Isle.
And they could close it up.
GG is cool. Game 3 going to ParaVision.
Well, so Aurora, we've seen the try, the same draft three times.
Game 2.
It worked out to be a good turn around.
Game 3, they were kind of alright at the beginning.
They were.
But then it did start to fall off.
They stayed close in the gold, but just the match ups and the execution of the Team 5 was just done that much better by ParaVision.
And honestly, there probably is something to it with this Io getting left through right, 9th class.
He doesn't lose the games where the Io gets in.
And if anything it kind of gets super fueled up by the fact that he's also so got a witch doctor by his side
Yeah, the sustain is insane this means fight around the pier two when they got the BKB on the Muerta
It felt like literally from that point forward
There wasn't that great answer to deal with him with the IO behind him just keeping him fully healed
So yeah paravision they hit this timing played it pretty clean afterwards as Aurora tried their hardest
Yeah, but again the same style same job pussy if they do it again game for
I can't wait to see what they do with the draft, a crazy grand final so far at the moment with this game 3 win though
Paravision up 2 to 1 against Aurora
Yeah, I'm very curious to see what happens in game 4 with that draft
But we got away a little bit before we find out this game 3 was
Very even up up to a point and actually Aurora definitely trying to go high ground
It kind of failed though in saying yet it looked like it wasn't really gonna happen because their league wasn't big enough
to create more chaos in this game. This game was too...
Like for a draft like Pauly to play, they need the fights to be very like 5v5, you know?
Imagine like old school wars where you take your army, I take my army, we meet up in the middle of the battlefield,
and we smash our heads into each other. But they needed more of like a proxy war, you know?
They needed to be fighting like on the sides and like making the map weird and not allowing like the game to be so structured.
And I think that's kind of where the game became too hard for Aurora,
because if you head on and far against the side of their positioning
and they get everything to be the way they want it to be, it's really just full killing.
I fully agree. I think you can see in a couple of these clips, the Cryer ones,
where Nightfall blinks in a bit too deep and full commits,
and I think you need to give your puck time.
I think that's a concept especially with puck, where he's going to keep poking them and he's invincible.
He's literally just memeing and doing damage slowly over time,
and you need to let him do it a couple of times before you full commit,
because I think there are multiple fights where they full jumped in
And then Parvus just saves one guy, they go on ult to IO, dumps his whole heal low, they have witch doctor going and the guy just doesn't die, and then you're all dead, and you get wiped.
And I think they were just a little bit too impatient for Aurora.
It's also like they had this high ground push initiative, because they were in a pretty okay position, they're up like 6k, 7k, and I think they kind of, maybe like overstay around the high ground, because Parry also needed a fight like that to have like a good grip again on the game.
Because I agree with you guys about the teamfighting, that it's like it's too structured, there's too little chaos.
But then what does the ideal fight look like for Parry?
Because I would say the longer the game goes, eventually they're gonna have a problem.
Like in terms of they're gonna be too tanky to like fight into Parry, it's easy for them.
Like is it like a split fighting, like Puckpokes here, Tiny goes on someone else, or like Bane gets like a sleepgrip.
Because I have a hard time seeing it.
I think you have to find like unexpected timings.
Like when Parry's grouped up as 5 like this, moving like a ball, you're not touching them.
It needs to happen like, you know, when Dawn tipis out to push out a lane, you go pick off the Dawnbreaker and then they relocate it and then you hit the bane and the other guy and then like, you're just playing map.
It needs to be like, I don't know, TI7 liquid, you know, like where everything that's happening on the map becomes overwhelming for this draft.
They can't stick together as five and just play like this very simple, you know, we're just gonna move around like a unit and win the game.
Did they have the draft to do that though?
I think there were tools. I think it's hard, I'm not saying it's easy, but I think that was the kind of game that they needed to look for a bit more.
I think they had a hard time creating scenarios like that. I think that's where some teams are more comfortable. They thrive in that kind of environment.
I think Aurora seems to not be super comfortable at it based on this game, so I wouldn't want to be in the same position again if I were them.
I mean, that's where I would ask the question, like,
is ease of execution a thing in a grand final?
Because if it wasn't a grand final, I would say, oh, just draft ease of execution.
But on the other hand, on the other hand, like the left side of my brain is thinking like, well,
to win a grand final, like you have to be able to do pretty crazy stuff
because you are playing against the literal best team, right?
So is ease of execution actually a thing here?
I'm not sure how I feel about it, to be honest.
Like, I think you want stuff you're comfortable with, and you want stuff that works for you.
Like, I think they did some good stuff this game.
It's a much slower game, like Aiden said.
I think this game, you can see it is 2-3 in 11 minutes.
Like, there's not really much happening, to be honest, at the beginning of the game.
But I think what Aurora did while this game is they bring numbers to these fights early
on in the game.
And I think that was something that has been pretty pivotal for the early games of these
past couple of games.
And they built themselves a good lead, because I think in pretty much all these starting
fights near the you know at the first 20 minutes of the game they are they are
cooking I think it's really these later ones where to be honest I don't think
they're trapped is that difficult to execute I think it's a matter of like
they're not playing it quite the right way because I definitely agree with Aiden
I think it is very much a game where you're patient you're chilling like this
this basically this market you don't need to all in this guy he's right next to
the base what do you think he's gonna happen they're all gonna try to save him
right but they they kind of just full commit and then he gets Donald and
healed and he lives right but if you look at the situation they have a guess
they're 5k up, all of Paravision is in their base. They're in a super dominant position and they kind of just chuck it in the
toilet compared to if they just poke and dab a little bit because at a certain point the game just reaches that state like you
know, where it is just difficult. It's hard to see a way back into the game because Paravision gets too much damage,
Ion Moirtha we talked about right. Late game, you're not really gonna beat that combo. They have hearts.
You can never burst the Moirtha and she will burst anyone. It's a difficult state to be in.
It was very evident in the clip you showed like I think a like Spirit or Falcons when this Moirtha uses
like the DKB and her old, they're just gonna chill, like 5 seconds, 6 seconds, and then
they're gonna chase again after. And I think if Aurora do that with, you know, the lead
that they had, they can still absolutely cook in this game.
Well then I'm curious if the IO gets banned in the next game, because obviously for this
entire series we've seen, like we knew what the problems were, we're just gonna run it
back and like fix the problems. That seemed really annoying to play against, but as you
guys are talking about they had all the options and clearly they're gonna identify this as
well right like we should have poked do they go back for it.
Based on the way the series has gone I think you're gonna ban Witch Doctor and you're gonna
ban Tangelier and you're gonna run it back.
Win, done.
That's crazy.
It's crazy.
But then if you keep that up then you know you're gonna lose game five because you're
gonna forget to ban those two in that game.
So you don't.
You just remember it.
They could remember it.
But genuinely, you mentioned that on the panel, they have a hard time finding a good hero for WS and to which doctor.
Yeah.
So maybe that actually is the bigger problem.
Sometimes when you're playing the game, it's very easy to see what the actual issue is.
And us watching, we don't get the same perspective on it.
From a strategic standpoint, like, oh, that's beautiful.
Mmm, look at him go.
This guy has as much driver's license as I do.
Which is nonexistent.
0% for his license
No one definitely, he was on some in like the first 30 minutes
He had a couple of bad roles, you know, he made up for it later, which was fine
But I also like one thing that stood out to me
Obviously if you want to win Grand Finals, you need to have like a bit of a clutch factor
I think that Satanic is an absolutely, he's a beast
Like when this guy is in the zone, I think there are small things like even something like this
You know, you're kind of gonna get cooked, you have like two seconds
You have to like tip your what he makes to call, Joe, if you don't know, we can still get this kill
And even later in the game, like he had a blink hex
And I think it's really cool to see it's like a bit of a, it's some of the Gatoro spice in my mind
You know when the carry can actually take things into like his own hand whether it's to command his team
I'm gonna do this or he just initiates. I remember coming home after like Singapore TI
I played a pub and there's some rank 2 morphling who's just like 1 v 9ing
Like who the, like who the f business kid and it was him and he did something very similar
Like he's had this already for years and also in these games
It's just it's just cool to see because this is some of like the highest level gameplay that you will see
Yeah, and I mean adjusting item builds is one of the hardest things to do and I think like by me realizing like hey
We don't have catch I'm gonna go blink hex on where to and that's like gonna get us one kill
And that would just opens up the team fight every win the game
I think that is like the special spice that certain carry players have and they can not like recognize that in the moment
Like this is the time to do it. Yeah, we did have
Paravision win, but maybe the start of the game didn't play out the way they wanted exactly
Do you feel like there's any adjustments coming from their side or are they quite happy with how this played out?
Obviously, they're happy with the result, but the game itself.
I think any Dota game that doesn't end at minute 20, you're going to talk about what went wrong in this game.
In every Dota player's mind, the game should never last more than 20 minutes.
By minute 20, we should have done all these moves, we should have gone on all these towers, we should have gone on Rosh, and we should have ended the game.
If nothing goes wrong, and everything goes exactly as it should.
And obviously it didn't, and I think that is, whether it's because of draft or it's because of gameplay or where you make those adjustments,
of course you're going to have some stuff that you're going to look at.
I mean, I can tell you the answer. You could see it in the camera shot.
I'm pretty sure no one said, like, thank God, we won that game.
Like I was griefing, like, I know he really respects nine class as a player
and as a person. He calls him a genius all the time.
I would think that he probably just thinks like, I got carried by my genius.
This this game, like, look at this guy.
He's like, how the fuck do we win that?
But it happens.
Like sometimes sometimes you do get carried and maybe that's the adjustment
they make is is like individuals just say, like, OK, I I need to play a little
better because the early game was not going great for us yeah but draft okay
I honestly do think that's why they lost the early game I don't think it was a
draft problem I think they just made some bullies they got up played in some
fights there was some driving license problems he went to the store and got a
certificate so he's all right now oh it's solved it's all this is all golden
for game number four it's paravision that is on match point one more game and
they will take the championship here at dream league season 29 let's see if they
We can do it! After break.
It's something free
The lines lift up to forget it
Let's touch the feet
They shed a struggle
Sensitive dreams are walking down
Oh
I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!
That's my son!
Oh no! Pickle again man!
Oh
We can touch the sky
Shit man, here we go again
We are falling, these wings can't fly
I've got to fly, I'm doing it, go fly real hard
We can do it in bad time
Only hiding in the dark
We could just fall in the water
We could all just be ready to fall
You guys done already?
Well played.
Shut up, Ardolf! Jack Fennett's!
Can you stop the game already, please?
But you know it's why we've run
Pull in the shin
Pull in the war something
To give you skygames, come in
Cause we're still here
Oh, I feel the love
Yeah, I feel the love
It's something we don't need to understand
Oh, I feel the love
Yeah, I feel the love
Let's just go, no, we don't need a fight
Cause I'm looking at my socks
Cause I'm looking at
We're still here
Oh, I feel the love
Yeah, I feel the love
It's something we don't need to understand
Oh, I feel the love
Yeah, I feel the love
Dream League Season 29 is brought to you by DHL and CHECKS.
Welcome back, here, still watching Dream League Season 29 and we are put to penchilly heading
into our final game of the best of five Grand Finals.
We'll see potentially because he's game four.
Repair of vision wins.
It's all over for Aurora who is now on the receiving end
of potentially the peak.
We are going to find out though.
Nothing changed.
No, let me tell you, Shiver.
We're going to see a first pick tiny coming out from Aurora.
Oh, it's there.
But I always tell him.
So what did Aurora change?
Because they lost.
You'd expect them to change.
They did not change.
This is the same.
What is In Levels band last time?
Uh, instead of the...
Windranger.
Yeah, Windranger has been banned so far every time, but they go for the pluck.
Okay, so we have pluck into Wisp, into Witchdoctor Band, into Bane.
Into Phoenix.
Aiyo.
Why would you not pick Aiyo if you're a parent?
No, they're picking Aiyo.
Yeah, for sure.
I think I'm gonna pick Pangalore Aiyo.
I think Aiyo's like pretty decent against pluck in a lot of ways,
because you just make everyone tanky so you survive through all this poke.
I think it used to be more...
Ooh!
What the heck?
What the hell is this?
Look at this record for the Void Spirit.
Why would they go for that?
It was actually...
When I was doing my research for these two teams,
it's one of the heroes that Aurora consistently banned
when they picked Puck early.
They would always damn Void Spirit every single time.
I mean, it's good against Puck, for sure.
But I don't know if it's this good.
Like, you could pick Pangalore, for instance.
You could pick Void Spirit.
You can pick, you know, snipers and hutscars and things like this, like, there are more counters than just one Void Spirit.
So I'm surprised they do this because now you're not getting your IO, maybe you don't get your call, maybe they both get banned, and now,
he's nine classed back to Lyon, sure.
You nix's fast one, guys, you're forgetting it.
Okay, okay.
There's more, the question is, do you ban the witch doctor here, or do you ban one of the nix's called?
Like, I started this event being big witch doctor hater, but at this point I'm serious, like, do you actually ban it out if you don't?
Unfortunate.
That's unlucky.
That's why I thought they would pango first, obviously they think it's very good against
puck and then they could have fallen off with a caudal or something like that.
Void spirit is...
But like very fast.
In the last match that they played into, like in this series that they played so far, did
they ever pick the pango into the puck or was the puck always a counter?
Yes, they picked pango into the puck.
And the time that they picked puck into pango was voidsperth banned?
No.
Yes.
Yes?
What do you mean?
What was this not a choice before or are they suddenly changing their idea that voids spirits a better comic big
It's not been voids beard was banned in game one by Aurora themselves
Then I can follow it up a bit. Yeah, okay
Lion coming out
Me means that party we're not happy with asking right no one's like facial reaction
Whatever that we saw like a ghost show the big party feel like we can play faster
We don't need to play this drag-out game like which was good for us for sure
But we don't want to play this kind of matchup
We don't want to deal with it. We want to beat them fast to be fair void is one of his best heroes like if anyone can
Void versus Puck in a matter. We're clearly void. Just this Nats wrong. I would say it's no one
I think the biggest question mark for wait for it with me. It's not matchup wise matchup wise
It's good. There's no doubt about it
But it's the power level of the hero overall. Yeah, I feel like Puck is a better hero and therefore like even though boys for
It's a good matchup. Is it good enough?
There is a world where I don't know how much this team has played Alchemist, but I have seen Spirit play it when you have the Void Spirit overall.
That is one thing that could work. At least when I think about it, there are the bands that could support it.
There's no Doom, there's no Timber, there's no Ursa.
I do feel like this team overall, Satanic would prefer to have Last Pick as opposed to be the guy that is,
yeah, pick me 16-17, you get the Alchemist and do the stuff.
So I don't know if it's the stylistic choice that they like, but as a hero I could see logically.
For the first time in this series, Mirror will play a different hero.
Who'd bring it coming out?
It was banned every other game.
Yeah, yeah.
So...
Question is, will Kaori build that?
Also, later.
No, come on, he's gonna be fiend.
They're just taking time to talk about future picks right now.
They're wasting their reserve time to talk about future picks.
That means they'll always like to take them.
Thank you, thank you for sharing that excellent point with us.
Very interesting.
So, he might just pick Phoenix again, but you could also make an argument for different heroes,
like meeting the silencer, thinking that Chancers can be okay.
Then again, it's Peore, so you never know what Brawl might just be.
Give me Phoenix for five games and this be a five.
Interesting.
I was going to say, it can't be worse than last game, right?
With Muerta, you cannot have a worse Phoenix matchup than that.
And he played it with the silencer.
He played it with some of the worst ones.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so like if he's confident playing into those, I'm sure he'll be fine in any game.
So what do you think is the rationale for picking the core here?
Because I don't know if I see it, per se, compared to just picking a 5 hero.
When you see the 4 as well, so you know your lane matchup for the 5, what's the benefit?
I personally don't know. I saw Spirit do this as well sometimes, where like the enemy team will show their entire offlane, and they just come with their own offlane.
So essentially, maybe they're just saying, we want a fully counterpick like your offlane with both support and core.
We don't want to give notice like a good matchup against either of the two heroes.
Or force, you know, force you to show Titanic Zero, so that we have like, a favorable matchup in that way.
I also am surprised they went with Largo. I feel like Largo hasn't been the most successful hero for them.
But I guess they identified in the last game that like, the Temple of the Game or whatever was good.
There was like, parts of it that they liked, and they're looking to go back for it.
Because obviously, Parry, we're not happy. They didn't want to run it back. They didn't want to run back the same type of game.
It's about the Witch Doctor. You talk about the Witch Doctor, he can't play anything but the Frog.
He's respecting the Witch Doctor, therefore they pick Fraud.
And therefore they do not pick Witch Doctor.
They pick Chen instead.
2 and 0 Chen, by the way.
100% win rate to go with the Faces Void.
I think this might have been a Void steal.
It's potential that there were, like for instance,
if they went back for the Dawnbreaker,
then you get Void in on 18.
I think the only one for the Dawn last game,
because they already picked Tiny Carry.
So this, I mean, obviously, Satanic
is an amazing Void player.
but I think there may also be an aspect that we don't want to...
We don't want to give them the Void and we already see the offline, so we just take our care.
But to me, it goes back to why pick Largo or why give them the chance to get a Void like this
whenever otherwise they often would be blind and they couldn't just blind pick a Void like this.
I'm thinking they might run Largo 5.
Yeah.
Genuinely think they might do it and look for some sort of axe or, you know, like some sort of counter to Void.
I hope that they have this idea, because otherwise I also don't believe...
I don't see the rationale for the Largo like this.
And now that you see Chen Void
Sorry, you think a Kaori Largo?
I think it might be the case. There's a lot of ways I don't really see the point of it
Okay, this was something Spirit was doing a lot this amount
Yeah, but they were like the Largo Alch and they're very good together
They just amplify like this concept of like we cannot die
Which this overall I like in this game like Pahri last game eventually have like this overwhelming damage where you will die if you're sustaining
Faces Void, both Void Spirits and the Faze Void Enchant, they're very low damage heroes.
There's some out Largo lineup.
Now this Largo pick from earlier in the face makes a lot more sense to me.
You do kind of give Void a free lane, right? I would assume.
I don't think Largo is very high pressure in the Void only.
You can out CS him. I mean, you won't like Gigafresher, he will obviously farm.
But the lane for you is fine.
I do think it's nice to have these two big boys with Pock on your team,
especially against the late spirit flying, the way you don't want to play the fight is you want other people to get
gone on first and you cut in the back because if you get gone on first you're just going to explode to these heroes.
So having like some big boys, I can see that being part of the reason why the big lore go and that like you just want this fat offline
and right away. We don't want it to risk you getting banned.
We don't want like a jumping hero because you've got an axe or something. Then they're waiting too.
You have two people waiting. So having a guy who's just in there and can stand there so Puck can play his game against the two jumps can be nice.
I also think it's kind of an interesting thing with Alcantaboyd, where you're trying to mismatch timings, essentially.
You're not trying to beat Boyd at his own game. You're saying, like, we're going to try to win this game much, much earlier.
We're going to try to out-farm you. We're going to try to get ahead.
We're going to try to hit a really strong timing before your Boyd is fully on line, before he has solved his damage issues through items.
So then what's the, what's the carry here here?
Would you guys look for like another layer of like defensiveness?
Are you looking for like a strong lane until he can make moves or like strong lane into stacking?
Is the one that's like better than the other?
I feel like any sort of damage, I think they, like follow up damage on coil, follow up damage on alx stuns, whatever provides you with that.
I think another hero that provides up here would be good here.
You need to break through the champ, you need to break through lane, the aura that he's going to provide.
I don't think he already plays the most damage.
Maybe Venom?
What about like a Firebird?
That band.
So is Warlock. The other heroes that he is known for, it's 4 in total.
Jakira is one of them, that hero. Shadow Demon is the other.
He's also silenced her in this tournament.
It's not like a crazy amount of damage.
I generally don't like silenced her into chat.
Because Chen mostly plays self up like the Auras and the items that he gets and none of those get affected by global.
So, not super inspiring silencer game.
I don't mind Ench to be honest.
Ench works.
There it is.
Yeah.
So I think even though it's not the most damage early game, I think it's, I mean Kess has mentioned before, it's really good against Lion in lane.
And I think Voidster is also really bad against Ench because it's just some 5 you can never kill, ever.
And he doesn't do anything to creep either, so when this Ench walks the rune with creep, he's gonna outfight Lion, he's gonna outfight Voidster and it gives you some presence around mid.
And the damage is not that low early. If you have Coil, and the Homing's there, and you all just right click this guy, he can definitely die in Coil.
So I can see a world where this gives them actually pressure through mid, and now Puck becomes enabled and you can play through other places.
Yeah, I like it quite a lot. And you also mentioned they're looking to build their own draft, which I think does make a lot of sense.
And I think Enge doubles down on this as well.
I mean, again, another hero, they have a very hard time killing.
And I genuinely think like if she goes like the impetus build, it is like a lot of heroes that you can actually hit.
You can pummel Chen, you can pummel Lion, you can hit Void Spirit.
I think like these heroes are not that hard for you to like put damage into as the game progresses.
So she scales quite decent against the game.
You're not afraid of getting blown up, right? Like what are you really going to buy?
You have to like get fingered and get like all of the Void Spirit spells on you.
Yes.
Axe coming out for notice as the overall last pick for Paravision, with one big question
after that, is this enough for them to take the championship, Tezu?
I'm honestly not sure.
I think this might be the first time where I would lead more on Aurora's side.
I like the Axe, like, you know, against the end, you can battle hunger, you can, like,
help with your line.
I don't think you'd give your pressure to Alchemist, but I just see Pari in this midgame
having damage issues.
X-Paul into finger, Chrono into finger, they have to do a lot of different split and separate fights.
I don't know if that's easy to execute against what Aurora have. At least that's my rate.
I agree. I also think that Void Spirit is a hero that is super high execution. If you buy one wrong
item, then your game is grief forever because the hero just doesn't get that much gold. So every
item purchase has to be perfect. I think it's not that straightforward what to buy this game
and I think people get the item decisions wrong a lot and so I think this is a game where
Paribasian can win, yes, but I think the execution level is quite high, and Aurora Jenkins mentioned Ease of Execution earlier.
I think there's something to that just game where they will hit a very strong timing and they can push that timing,
and it's not that tricky to push the timing once they get there.
But as the voice spirit expert, do you think no one can do that? Like, how does he rank on the voice spirit tier list?
He's very confident on the hero, but it's just not easy. I think even the best voice spirits like Anisha or whoever can,
you can just mess it up because it's just really high.
It's not clear cut, right? It's the whole point.
I feel like this is like the alpha set of last game though, in terms of what we're going to see.
I think it's going to be a lot of brawling on the mid lane, but we're not going to be seeing like a slow pace,
just everybody's farming kind of game like last time. I think it's going to be a lot more like,
which team manages to secure moons, it's a lot more like liquid game gladiators type
matchup I think, where it'll be active, a lot of stuff will happen, and those early inquires are going to slide away.
Is it as one-sided?
I think for the first time so far, I think I lean slightly more towards Aurora, in terms of extraf to like more.
But I think it's still very even both at different win conditions.
TateHannick is still endgame boss, so...
Yeah, I agree. I think Comparavision has the late game if it goes late.
I also think there's potential that like some Axe just gets a couple of kills, Snowballs the game,
and then all the stuff we're talking about, or the timings, Alchemist this,
like you can literally just blink blade mail, call an Alch if you're super farmed on Axe,
fold a zero on him, and like this guy has been cooking on Axe in a lot of these games.
Can he cook in this game?
It is potentially the final game of this best of five year for the championship for Dream League season 29.
Let's see if Paravigio can take it or if Aurora can force out that fifth game to this series.
We're heading over to AudiPixel and fog by the PogChamp founders.
Game 4, time! Ladies and gentlemen, here at the Grand Finals, Aurora vs Paravision and
Fox, where we're getting Aurora, it's been a little bit different this week, but we're
Still getting the puck, and a larger, short shot from Raston.
Outside of that, Nightfall is not playing tight in this game, gets banned out against him.
With this, there's some indifference from Aurora, from ParaVision, also quite different.
Especially in the way they drafted right. First pick, Void Spirit, I don't think a lot of people have seen that coming.
They have some stronger, arguably stronger in terms of what we've seen in Wim Rates and how they can do with heroes.
Options is the first, but they go for this Void Spirit, I guess primarily because of that matchup in the mid.
Overall, Void's breath, it hasn't really been the hottest hero of the tournament.
Yeah, it's definitely struggled, but he knows if he doesn't get it there versus the puck,
it's gonna get banned, because it's been banned every single time that they do go for it.
So, yeah, bit of different styles, a lot of new heroes, yes, there's some similar ones,
the Lion as well too, but kinda like eight heroes in difference in comparison to that last game.
So let's see who can execute, and it's a Chen versus an Enchantress, an old school,
fun little matchup. Both heroes gonna be looking to pace things.
Some spells being thrown out, but not really the best in terms of level one aggression from
either side. And let's see whose idea is better and who's going to be able to set that tempo in particular Aurora very likely wanting to be able to set that tempo get ahead play with that agonist timing around the Largo and kind of snowball things from there. Well fair vision. Bit more of a chillin'.
Win for these timings. Get that void online. But still can look to get these hatches themselves too around the voice for a lot of action gotta be around the mid lane in particular.
Interesting to see how much of a game Mikoto has in the last game obviously was never to get the win
But he was very slippery this time round
They are back to sort of having ways to make the pucks game a little bit difficult
Definitely with the lion as we said multiple times one of the better answers versus most of Mikoto's heroes
And yeah that that voice pair at this matchup can get pretty difficult for a pock coiter me
So we'll see how Mikoto plays it since he's incredibly comfortable one of the most comfortable pucks versus voice pair
as SDA literally used to have this match up every single day when we used to watch them.
Let's see how these lanes do go.
I would say there's limited damage kind of on both sides.
You could see in the mid game, right?
And do you think Aurora, with that last pick there, they're fine.
We're sort of ending up with getting the Enchantress in 4-core.
He obviously is big too.
Rubbing Band out, the Phoenix and the Warlock.
And still a good hero for him this game.
Yep, can match tempo.
match tempo, has a lot of healing to be able to secure the lane for the Alchemist, but
it can sometimes be difficult, we do have to mention that right, this Alk some of the
times can get pressured pretty heavy, so I think Ench can do her job, pop the heals,
get a creep, contest versus the Lion, something quite strong in that front.
And the advantage tool, if they do have these points where they can get these aggs being
double edged out to everybody, it's one of the really good aggs.
Sure, it's not going to be ever put in an internal situation where it's prioritized,
But it's pretty nuts. Undispellable route.
I don't think we can get to that point.
Probably not, but...
It would be pretty fun.
If they do get ahead enough, right?
Probably the plan that Aurora does want to do is get ahead enough in this game to be able to set that tempo.
How sort of chill is the safe lane for Nidalee on the after-step?
With the Enchanters, I think it makes it kind of chill, actually.
I think if it was another hero, perhaps the alchemist could be able to put some pressure on that alchemist.
I think the Enchantress can stop a lot of it with the Creeps and the Heal.
On the flipside also, Zotanic, it should be a free lane for him, right?
They're very hard to pressure him.
Always gonna have the Time Warp to get away.
Shawmere might get a good combo, but early levels, there won't be enough duration to stop Zotanic getting a decent Heal off with the Time Warp.
But WS will also free farm down here, just Chen doesn't really pose any aggression void.
Doesn't really either, so it should be a good start for this Largo as well.
Are we surprised they went for the LARGO again this game?
What do you think they liked about it?
Obviously, they didn't work out for WS last game.
I'm not the fact that he did have a better star rating on the team,
but was not punished as much in lane.
He got farmed.
I think that's exactly it.
That's what I was going to say at least,
that it was the one that had a good time in the mid early game
to set the tempo to allow them to fight.
Perhaps that's what they want,
something that allows them to fight early on,
because the other games he was completely shut down.
So we're seeing it indeed on the CS5 bar.
Good.
Pretty evenly slightly favouring that of Aurora across the lanes.
WS actually able to get a few extra denies in on this bottom lane in the matchup, so...
Quite a bit of extra denies, I'm sorry.
Seven already for him, they have a lane in a very good position too.
And yeah, probably they were thinking about this Alchemist Largo strategy, being able to
get this type of tempo going, and as we're mentioning, Paravision's draft lacking damage,
that could just be this point where they group up and they can't do anything.
I mean, it is true. It is not one of those lineups that you look at and say,
Wow, they got the chrono sphere into the finger.
Into the finger. Yeah, that's about it.
Yeah, you know, there was a few of those sort of stuns to throw in and sure you can kind
of layer them one after another between a good chrono and a good blink call, but nothing
that's really just going to get thrown into that chrono sphere and guarantee you get the
kills, especially when, you know, some of these heroes kind of trick you to kill in
the chrono, too, the cause. Pretty tanky, the Lager and the Alchemist got the ult running.
The Kodo. They're going for the kill on some here. Do they have the control in the rendered
cool down can't quite get commit will be able to deny away the water brooding so
the Koto doesn't get the fill up but no one also won't get his own fill up here
as top the damage on the notice of the concoction he's okay double bracer will
be enough
there's quite a different style of draft from the last time we saw literally the
same exact kind of draft from the last three so very different styles that both
teams are going for here
And I just feel that because they don't necessarily have that clear void combo, that Paravision
armor geared towards just farming this super lag and just being like, you know, stay kind
of easy, he's like, well, we're going to get the game to a point where I'm going to be
able to do all the damage myself in the bonus fair.
Let's just keep this game alive as long as we can, and we'll have that late game advantage.
Yeah, as long as they can get to that point, and it's not too much of a disadvantage.
We did even see a face this way called today.
They're gonna have it go for the trade. It's a tiny might find WS to return
Looking for the body blocks mirror
And that might just yeah, that's gonna keep WS alive. He's chased by this creep, but he's able to turn and lick it
He's incredibly low though. So now
When the chin comes back they could look to threaten him
He's getting that extra killing though from the full belly from tango. Nice kill
Get this set up on the side body blocks as well from there. Great body block so we are safe
Sotanik will zone him, slightly here, so should be able to get majority of these next guaranteed lastics on the face of Svoid.
Mira making the rotation, power rune, six time. Level six is there for no one.
Nicoto is healthy, has the raindrop as well, so hard for them to burst him.
He's going to get lucky with this.
Oh, seeds now.
Down bottom, it's going to be a nice one as well, the arcane route.
Top, the lane has been broken here, so the Enchantress isn't here for the Alchemist, so Nightfall has to be a little careful how he steps up.
Here comes H.O.R.I. with the creep, to assist.
I'm very interested to see if he commits for this, and do you think this is indeed necessary, and no one going for the Brownwich into Yule's by the looks of it first?
So pull defensive from the mid-void spur.
Yeah, I mean it's defensive, but it's also aggressive, right?
Both ways, yeah, they're both ways against the party.
But it's a bit different back to what we've seen from the other Void Spirit.
Yeah, I think I'm cool to see any type of switch ups, because these are like the giga Void Spirit players like, you know, Clint was always talking about, so.
Now we've seen Void Spirit.
Ah, they're too wild quite a lot.
Nice rotation, Mira comes in, they bring the damage with the acid spread, looking for the steel of the shrine.
Might just be able to make it in time, no one is gonna come though, just wait them for looking for it.
I don't want to need you about all this.
I came room voids for it right now.
And to Carlos, he's going to just start hitting the creeps
that we see most of these chants do after the lanes are broken.
See where he wants to go here with this chan in this mid game.
Archimist, 600 ahead over the difference.
That'd be a good start.
Yeah, the Satanic still though, very happy on the other side of the map.
He's gone.
Can be left on his own and he's getting just as much farm.
Not a little bit more than WS from the lane, so.
Yep.
Easy lane here for the Void.
And for me when I have it when I usually see the voids always in the past when they don't really have good kill combos on their lineup
I want them to have this it's not the build we see too often anymore
But the mask of madness mail stream so you actually deal damage because otherwise you do nothing inside of the front
I mean traditionally a big battle free enjoy it, but I even I've got to say I also kind of prefer this mask of madness
The mouse trim it just it feels like you've got a lot more ops
And I think it's also kind of necessary this game where you don't have
It doesn't need to allow you to get more done with those earlier chronos, having to mask a bandit into Maustrum Belt.
9th class will he deny the rune away? He will, so Makoto will not get the fill-up.
As we said, a lot of tension on the mid lane. Not really many kills in there, so a very slow game here.
This could be a game with very low kill count. I just, I don't really see too many kills that should be given up unless someone's just very far out of position and gets caught by the Void Spirit line, in particular one.
On the other side, Aurora has to be a coil-end, uh, probably.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, in a shop, shop, coming in from the whole way.
And some of them can be a bit tanky, right?
Especially the axe and the voidsman early on.
They can be a little difficult to bring down here.
So yeah, it's interesting.
Again, there was going to get us back on track
with the 60-minute plus act that we used to.
This might be it.
This kind of has the ingredients for that.
And I would say for ParaVision, they'd
be pretty happy if it gets to these later stages.
Aurora definitely wanted to set a tempo.
It does seem with the draft that sort of what ParaVision
more prepared for it.
We'll see how his idea ends up working.
Both drafts do have their strengths and timings.
Yeah.
Yeah, just because there's going to be quite a bit of hitting of creeps.
Overall though, knife fall.
I would say it's hard for them to look and hide and hunt him.
Right, so he's not going to get the radiance.
You know, he's kind of at max speed here
with the farm as the outcome is.
So they should, I mean, for Aurora, they should be able to
on paper.
We'll get this.
Silent.
It's a good timing.
A lovely rotation for Makoto, easily enough there to catch and burst through the void.
And they can do this a lot easier, they can go for these kills all over the place with the puck, especially if he's near that Largo.
So yeah, for parmigian, it feels like it's going to be very slow, and for Aurora, it can absolutely capitalize on that.
Every time Makoto has a coil and a silence, he can look to kill one of these squishier cores in particular, that void.
They might, their first kill might be around when fingers on line.
Like if you have the four fingers there and they're actually killing it.
Maybe with the scrotum.
Oh here we go.
Yeah.
The Vaskimandis.
The Titanic is ready to show us the kills can happen here.
And look at his build too.
Not just the Vaskimandis, 1-1-4.
I was gonna, I mean I'm a big enjoyed that as well, it's because he kind of got left
in a lane where he's stupid to kill her.
He doesn't need to go to the top.
He doesn't need to have to low cooldown on the Tyre Mort.
Yep.
So, pull in on the bashes, speed up the farm, and give him the chance to get these kind of cheeky kills with the Chronos Fist.
Exactly.
It's going to be a slow start from them, so, indeed, any time he sees a support or a ginkgo or someone down here, he'll pop a Chrono, get a kill.
Good.
I would say so.
Pretty cool stuff, and he does have the weighted dice, so a little extra bit of damage for him there, too.
They are blocking his camps, though, so preventing him from getting at these two extra farm camps.
Dakota does get clubbed on the starting, there is a finger.
Yeah, very nice setup there for Nighting class, getting the max distance.
Should be able to turn this into the tower here.
I definitely want to, I would say they want to try to get some of these towers to have access versus that Alchemist too, since he is getting complete free brain.
I got the drums down on the car list.
Nice and early too from him.
Jump, Mira, he's caught.
Yeah, no one gets another catch.
Sun's there to follow up.
Another kill around the mid.
That's a pretty big slip up from Mira getting caught on a hoodwink.
Firstly, this limited type of catch just gets caught from no one there.
It's gonna be this tat, sinking down 11 minutes in.
They're the ones setting that tempo a little bit here themselves, in fact.
With the face's void lineup, if you're able to get some of this tempo,
it always does feel good if the attention's not being brought to your lane.
To set nightfall, he's gonna have a pretty insane timing on that radiance,
but now he's averaging some pretty big kills, losing a tower early.
That's not something you want to do versus a Chen.
Zucalus might look for the next one too, he is level 6 already at this point, notice.
Just gonna farm, to get that fact going even Dunc's gonna have to make it quicker.
So they can get a ton before the respawn as well, to be super efficient.
Yep, that's why Dunc did his well too, right, every little thing mattering.
Jump to farm.
Oh, that's actually quite big.
Alright, Radiance is coming out.
So Radiance, and then I imagine it's Aghanim's and it's big go-go-go for Arona.
But that's still going to take a little bit of time here, but Power Vision can take advantage
of it too, where Chrono is back up here.
And yet you said he will just Chrono, so we'll support him.
Oh yeah, he's just not here to see him.
Yeah, go for a kill.
You're not interested in grouping up and fighting as a team.
He's not here to face this boy.
Titanic he's happy to sit on his own sort of island down on the bottom side of the map
It's pretty interesting this game in terms of team fight overall right cuz it's just different from what we've seen this last one
The last two games were like pangos Phoenix's Pox is it sings a mountain this one
It's kind of a crime. It's got one side and the dream called on the other. Yeah, very pick-off oriented
We'll see whose idea ends up working
It's like they will try and connect with satanic here with this next crime up heading down to the bottom lane
They can't quite go for the lago on his own, maybe if they have a plus one or two they can't.
Their fingers back up. Can't look to make this play.
Mikoto is not in the area just yet, does have a TP to join, the catch is there.
Yeah, no one's ready with the setup, he's just finished off the ULT.
That's the opening. And these are big kills.
The kill and it goes the way I say Tanik, he's happy with that one.
Yeah, these are big kills, they also kept the DD rune unknowing for the potential next catch.
They also kept the finger, so if Mikoto gets caught in any of these stunts he is just dead.
does show himself in the mid lane also no one is popping the DD might go for the
jump if he gets the you'll set us back up in a second one second doesn't want to
jump into the high ground yet didn't have the second charge here yeah so
bottom gonna react it's a coil he's got the chrono so use it was gonna be
defensive but he's considering trying to get the kill all the way out of the
dream call duration in that back off so I'm trying to be able to save and no one
said I want from the side but jumping into this even with the amplified damage
He's still going, seems a bit too risky to get taken off him anyway, but WS with the
leg.
They've got a run.
Nightfall tried to turn up.
Aurora trying to bring the numbers there to get the core kill, but it's a coil, only
for a check.
Noticed.
Farming up like a beast on this axe.
Wanted to talk about Noticed quite a bit here too, cause it felt like he was the big
difference maker in that last game.
Yes, Satanic popped off, wins to his damage, but this dawn stayed super relevant, super
fun.
Oh, Satanic!
It's caught!
Caught by a bushwhack, dragged back by the link to Carlos.
He's not backed up.
He's trying to help out the drums and pops, they turn it.
He'll be able to run to Carlos though.
Looks like he'll get left behind.
Tend to thinking about trying to go back forward here.
He's able to walk and get the burst off with the finger.
Mikado.
They get the remnant into the hex.
They will catch Mikado here underneath the tower,
and they might be able to stop for more.
Naples turned up, and he gets caught by the call.
WS trying to drag him back to safety.
Doesn't allow Naipo to get the ultimate off.
We'll take out in the acid spray have to respect the alchemist a little bit now the old south and night falls ready with an over concoction
Throws it the way of notice WS thing if you can find no just hit deep under the tower
We'll hold back
Aurora doesn't want to persist heroes. I'm gonna start responding go back away. Mikoto dies
Let's get caught here single stun
I think he did get the hit off on the lion too, so he got two stacks of the fingers
So that's all there three stacks and be 15 minutes in nonclass is gonna be pretty happy with that
His blink is pretty close too, and that's a pretty devastating one to get early versus another catch. No one will be able to find him.
Looking to try and pale mirror out. Yours is there, into the stun, into the dunk.
There's some lovely moves and just... Makoto, he's gone for the plate.
Hit enough.
The Bastions are coming out, it is!
Big kill there for Makoto, fine satanic solo.
Oh, indeed, run over. A tip for that one.
It's a big catch to find, and he's out of there.
Doesn't get the power rune, but gets himself a beautiful grab there
in a very aggressive position with very limited information.
Yeah. He just goes in there. That's fine.
He's just finding Static.
Okay.
Takes him out of the map. I mean, that's gonna allow Nightfall to continue to
assume Super Firehead on the farm.
Hey, I guess the loop... Okay, so there's a ward on the mini-map too
that I see that must have still been there when he got the information.
Yeah. Yeah, he did get the hit.
Indeed, Nightclas able to run over and pick up that extra stack.
Nightfall 2 here, look at his chemical rage. It was very good that he came up at this point here
Just otherwise they'd probably just chase forward and kill him as well
Yeah, at this point with the Radiance wasn't the chemical rage up there, not really killing the Alchemist
Mm-hmm. He's about to hit back away about to hit that first timing too. Agonyms number one
He's ready to try and get some more of those stacks with the finger
Do they have the blink on the axe?
They do. So they should be able to catch and kill whoever they catch if they do see someone and they do see Makoto on this ward
it. He might get caught here. There it is.
Not a finger. Not a catch. These are pretty big kills that they're able to get. Aurora
now, they do have the timing. The Aghanim's is there, so they're gonna pass it over to
the Largo, but so far, Paravision has done a great job of just fighting Tototel versus
this. It's how much of a difference this song does make. It is insane in most situations
when you do get this type of timing to play around.
Puck's still dead.
No one was looking for somebody here.
Very much liking the Void Spirit build this time around from no one, you know.
I like this.
2-0-4, they can't kill him.
We seem to have the great setup as well with the Yule Scepter.
I like that a lot.
We've not really been seeing this from others, right?
So it'll be more like, un-maged layers, sometimes axe even a little earlier,
So yeah, going for this Jules build, so far definitely paying off for no one.
Yeah, both in the aggressive front and the defensive front, it's gonna be great.
And then the agonist always versus the puck is a good pick up.
You can get her at a good time as...
Power Rune, been illusion, he jumps in.
He's okay, dodged the silence.
Has the illusion as well to go to play around potentially too.
Alright, Kaya's dodge, plus the agonist timing.
This is the main one, so you actually have the mana to be able to sing the song.
We're still in level 1, so I'm gonna try and fight with him.
They're stacked up.
Oh my god.
That was dangerous for a second.
The ward is there.
Notice, almost was able to get the blink.
Twenty seconds to finger.
Lakoto, stepping forward.
Lakoto has to be so careful.
Caught in any disable and he's just dead.
As we're seeing, he's having a much more difficult time into this game.
Three deaths already for him.
Catch.
He's in with a call!
Now catch, Miram!
We'll finish the dunk, we'll get that one in time, so we'll be on cooldown for 70 seconds.
Do lose the bottom tower, go where you have to keep up the push there.
Put it on the flip side.
Titanic, I'll take one as well.
He's going just this old school standard faceless void.
I like this build always so.
BKB gonna be up pretty soon, very good BKB game versus the puck.
Very limited forms of ways to be able to kill him.
Unless they get a stun from the fog, right, from either Mira or from the Alchemist.
from the alchemist he's got to get the bkb up every time on the step up face
this way
push on in the lane they do have four of them around him killing him under the
tier two might be I think they can go for him here a little bit tricky he's
backing off pretty carefully seems to know something is up if he gets the
rest of teams coming over to connect with them on class get away with the
blink I got a little tissue sell for the lion kill let's drop the coil on it good
Very good read. Very good read of the map there.
Sniper goes under a creep wave and he doesn't have his allies coming in, can't potentially get set up onto here.
Aurora.
Still want to get more. I want to see them still continue to get this pressure.
Don't want this base as much as we're supposed to step back and farm.
Looking for the mid tower. Notice they get the stun.
Got the follow up.
Just get the track back.
Fair bit of damage.
Hit the call off from run.
He's dang it, coming in. They're gonna dive the tier 2 for him. The hill comes out and won't save him.
The sawing just walks him down to let a goba get the tower, starting just at that pace with the add-in.
5k lead here for Aurora.
What's the next thing they want to go for here?
Nightfall is not going to go for another agonist just yet, is going to go to BKB to protect themselves versus that void spirit in finger.
And denying away a bit of this farm in this triangle here too, so.
Oh, he's nice to play the Alchemist versus the Chantu, some extra creeps he's able to
acquire.
He's getting a lot of money.
Yeah, he is quite rich.
2k ahead of that, the face is floating, and that's with the fact that he's also given
away an axe.
Makoto!
That's with this father's children.
9th class, with the burst!
Another stack.
That's a 5 hit.
Can they strike back?
No one did.
It should happen, Xemite's still on cooldown.
Punishing the movements every single time, just quick little rotations.
Can they go for a tormentor here? It doesn't look like they aren't fully set up for it just yet.
So the nightfall as well? Obviously get the BKB next.
Is it just gonna be the one axe for now, or is there a reason to sort of get any of the other heroes,
There's an Agonyms earlier on in the build, or what now, when he just maxed out his own
art installs.
I think at least one or two more items for himself before he starts to think about those
other ones, because there are still some pretty good ones, right?
The fuck one is not as good as it has been in the past when you get to that level 25
and your just insanely giga-carry, but, toughly arguments for the other ones, at least the
enchantress one.
Since we are still scaling too.
Avoid now, now that you got the BKB on Satanic, are you now actively looking to fight or do
Do you think they're still very much just allow Satanic to hit creeps?
Yeah.
Keep the game alive and just trust in Satanic to take this one lane.
Yeah, I think overall for Paravision it's pick off central until they can get to the later stages
where they feel confident through itemization to take full team fights.
Because Aurora are definitely having the window here in this game to pressure at the moment.
If they see the opportunity, they will go for it, but it's not going to be like a 5v5 team fight
from the side of Paravision in particular.
Pick offs and disengage.
Well, Aurora.
Probably with the BKB from Nightfall, I'm gonna look to force things a lot more here.
When he has that done.
Night class.
Can't go for this flight.
Might be caught himself.
That's gonna take a lot of damage from that sharp shoot, sir.
Nice TP.
Is that actually okay?
I was no one's timing looking to agonims coming out so they could look for again
more of these pick offs with this if they do find the puck some very good ones or
either of the supports yeah anytime the fingers up yep as you said kari is
farming so he is scaling on this and chances as we have seen him do in the
past yet to die as the dragon lands.
And it was the Enchantress earlier today, well, versus that faceless one that I did see scaling as well too, so...
lovely interesting stuff that we see coming in.
And I thought, we could be done, ACQ'd up next.
Both teams... hitting the creeps.
I wouldn't say Aurora is...
too sad when they're able to hit creeps either at this point, as they do have a good window,
But Depply want to put the pressure on with this timing. WSBKB's done.
And Mikoto, he does have a blink of his own to get the catch, so no one...
Has to be a bit more careful or has to use the UL defensively.
Oh, they got the coil on him!
Got the UL, so he breaks the coil with the ULs!
So now let's go catch him on the way back down with the first whack!
Nice execution from Marora. I mean, no one executed it perfectly too.
We went to the edge of the coil, popped the eels to break that coil, but either way they
do get the cats on film with the silence.
On a chance for a rose shot.
I mean do they try and just be crazy with the chrono spin?
Or do they just let this go?
I think you better go and get what you can get on the map.
Too dangerous without your strongest hero.
So Aurora, setting that temp up.
Last game also we're able to find that Aegis, it was just the usage of the Aegis that was
a bit questionable.
So see if they can do it a bit cleaner this time around with this early
Early strength in the lineup
Just pull the coach out
They know he's very likely to get caught and probably killed instantly while for the alchemist right now
If he gets pkb off, he just leaves so he doesn't die. Yeah
And he's also the transformation thing that we always talk about too is if you pop chemical raging to die with the ages
You don't have to be coming back up.
He's got the complete to Mjolnir.
He is still scaling super hard.
Yeah, and very much now with the Mjolnir and the BKB.
He can turn up, drop a Krona, kill someone up pretty quickly.
Oh, and I want to see him do that.
I've been wanting Faceless Voids to do this for some time.
He's buying the shard relatively early.
A lot of damage that you get from this.
How good is the dilation getting buffed up this game?
It's decent.
It's not the invoker-cas kind of insanity kind of things, but it's alright.
We'll see if he does actually commit for it. He does commit for it. Okay, so I mean that tells me once tells me that he wants to look for solo kills all the time
I'm very much like the other voids. We've been seeing they just don't buy this early
Nothing else. Well another game also
I think the one that he was first to that cast in the book of the game ended so fast that he didn't even get the chance to do it
To call us you see these chance to hit in the creeps continue to get that skill for him to in opposition of kore
Let's have the pipe, pretty good pipe here.
Mostly magic damage on Aurora, some pure that's going to be coming in from the Enchantress,
but we'll block a fair bit in terms of the 5v5.
Aurora looking for catches.
For Aurora, surely this...
They want to set a pace.
I was going to say the concern of this face is for it to be in the back of their minds.
They're like, if you say Tannik is, we know he's getting free farm.
He is going to be a problem.
Like right now this is decent, but not enough.
If we want to push forward, start getting these tier 2s, limiting the map, constricting it first of this faceless void, because the fact that he is this farmed is a concern.
To call this is getting very good split push as well too. This should get punished here. He's going to get the tier 2 perhaps before 18. Okay, they're going to start rotating.
He got almost the entire tower there. 1600 onto it.
and forces three CP's back there from Aurora.
They're coming up, doesn't want to go at T-100.
He's going to see if he can get a cast.
Oh, shoot.
Sends the illusion.
Does beat the hex there of nine-class.
I'm going to be paravisant though, forcing them back.
That's what their draft wants to do, right?
They want to force them back to buying time,
so a nice flip must play from Ducales.
They didn't get like any damage,
but they did and they got like 500 damage on the T2.
Very very good play from Paravisa to force that reaction
No, I'm trying to go for him. I'll get the heels up this time not able to break the coil
silence to follow up
The heel it's there love the astral step in a second
He tries to the TP but not gonna happen with the impetus flying through good night class
His TP gets put to an end as well Aurora couple of kills
go go time right go find the tower if you can they're also potentially gonna
find notice baby here too it's huge yes vkb does he get it off in time he just
not he does not not pulls in with a blink concoction push back there to follow
things up good he kills Aurora they gotta just run it down the lanes now and
they find the courier I believe as well on the side of career was able to finish
that one up to has hit level 20 so satanic more and more kill threat if he
does find anybody inside of this chrono can I turn this into this tier 2 top
with these three kills it does look like they should be able to but Glyph comes
back up
Dmg picks up on the way to the MKB and St. Tannarchy certainly wouldn't mind just
dropping a chrono for a solo kill
I'll go a bit tanky as he tanky enough
Immediately run toward the tier 2 top with those kills, axe deck for 25 seconds.
Pretty good strike there from Aurora, sweeping across the map, getting what, 4 back to back
kills it feels.
Up to an 8k lead.
Jump.
He's got up to that.
He's got the A on this.
Looking for a chance to jump out with the Orbs, Titanic's turned up, looking for a chrono!
We'll hold back on it now, just get the time dilation out and the two of them.
Pushback holds him back, stunned from nine-class, not quite having the distance.
Aurora just engages.
They still have this ward on the hill too, looking at Titanic, kind of back away, can't quite go for it.
Chemical rage is coming back up, Nightfall is looking for the opportunity.
He's here now, it's gonna jump.
So, Aurora's smoked up.
15 seconds left on Aegis, and this was popped, so Mikoto does have to be careful in his next few instances.
Especially as they know that Satanic is around, and we'll look to come in with the Gronos for now.
Can we get the initial scondid?
They take Will, they get the jump straight away on a war's nine plus, they take out the lion, and now look at the war's nine, and the heal comes out!
But he's been caught by the Dreamcoyle, and you'll spying him a bit of time, but at the same point, behind the tier 2,
Notius is getting forced away, the Krono comes out!
Is it enough to kill WS?
It's the bash into the finger at the end of the Krono, we'll do it!
And a buyback.
Now, Statenny's ready to jump over to Wozmira, Notius gets the grab on Tim, the dunk's there!
Ooh, they fight back well around the faceless void.
Over-expansion from WS.
Nightfall isn't with him for that type of dive play, he's actually up above there, so they lose quite a bit there with that address.
the rest of the play, the Void, showing his power to Tannick, even before the MKB, he can kill that Largo.
Yeah, he's definitely against the point where Aurora, for all the leads that they may have had in the Gold,
they're gonna be looking at this face, this Void, and they might start to say, uh-oh!
Oh my god, and no one actually survives the whole time as well, too, because they got split up.
If they actually stuck together, they'd potentially at least kill that Void Spirit.
So pretty big slip up there from the side of Aurora.
Static, starting to get these timings.
MKB about to be finished, the next one as well too would be pretty ridiculous if he's
able to get it in terms of survivability, but also just reducing the healing, the alchemist
and the Largo.
I mean that's the thing right, he's always going to get the Chrono off on one of those
two cores.
He is.
Aurora, the next 5-10 minutes have to be pristine.
have these type of slip-ups versus a faceless void draft as the game progresses towards
the slay game.
Are they gonna smoke up again?
They will.
Ideally for Aurora, they get a successful fight, went into a Roshan, and then they can
snowball off of that.
Well, for Paravision, if they can just wait for Chronosphere to come back up, that's the
ideal for them.
And it's about 30 seconds until it is there.
They can catch Night Class, it would be decent, because they've used the buyback before, so...
He's in the trees. Whoop!
He's out of the plane.
He'll get the hex on him at Coastal, but he will get caught, so depth is 70.
Can they sequence it into more?
Top lane has been pushed out pretty far.
Fired to Carlos.
Not gonna be the easiest to turn that into.
Nightfall.
Baster is finished. Looking for that extra control.
As we did see, no one was able to slip away just a bit before here.
Swinging toward bottom.
WS looking at noticed here doesn't have backup yet just yet though looking for him
No, this should be all right. It has been KBTP out to miss this is humming Eric through the portal
They're gonna say hello to each other. Hello
Not for not interested at all. Nope. I think they saw are they expected the rest of the para vision coming as the Tannick
Oop, Mikado's in, Bash up, he's gonna get caught straight away here, just to Eon this prompt.
They'll have the HR stay chatting and put the BKB who dropped the Krona.
Little awkwardie.
They'll look to eliminate WS first, Eon's just gonna buy him a bit of time, they'll turn their attention over to WS Knifeful, he's got the bus!
They got it!
They just take him down!
Knifeful!
He's gone!
And now, Aurora without their Alchemist, they don't really have a part in this fight, they're all pretty much caught up by the dilation, they have to run away from this faceless void.
Can they run?
run. Mira. TP's out. Kory. He's also gonna get out as well. Okay. Oh man. It looked
awkward for a sec because the Chrono caught the axe, but then what happened actually to
the Alps? Did he stun himself? Oh boy. That's rough. I'll stay again here. Because something
caught him, right? I was looking at it. It was just he didn't jump in time or did he
get silenced? Oh my god, he was in the Chrono. Oh no. I was gonna say because he stunned
Oh god. In the game. Night class.
Uh oh. That is a rough one.
Can't make these mistakes versus spaces void.
No, I don't want to avoid having this good of a game.
Satanic. He's been quietly farming up the entire time.
Oh, that's brutal.
Okay, alright. We'll build the cleanup that kills here.
Huge momentum lost for a long time after that.
Axe now with the phone nullifier.
So they can 100-0 Mikoto even through that A on disc as well now.
And the Largon, right? Because we did see WS in that fight having it, and it didn't even help them anyway.
Now they have the nullifier for it.
Oh man, nightfall.
That was rough.
Can't have that happen.
Somehow they gotta get a clean jump onto the face before they need to fight, but...
It's been hard to find Stakes, aren't it?
They just don't have the type of heroes to chase them, right?
It has to be either a Hoodwink stun or an Alchemist stun, and then, yeah, what's the follow-up, right?
They have to do it pretty much perfectly. They don't have any type of Hex or anything for some time.
How's Mira's looking? Cause I saw he was building it earlier.
Still a little bit away from it.
Cause that could be another crucial element to have that extra chain stun for the Faceless Void.
Ready to try and go again once the chrono's not up, but it's very soon to being back up. Just...
10 seconds or so and St. Tannick will be ready to join the fight.
This damage continues to just increase the ulti orb you've been purchased up.
Roche, it is up.
Ducalus also up for the next fight. Aghanim's hand of God. Definitely gonna have to be another
thing they keep track of here. Have to stop him. Most of their damage comes out bit slowly
on the side of Arora. This would be pretty devastating if they can't deal with Ducalus.
It's the bash!
He's gonna be able to jump out.
God, though, he's just choppy as auto attack!
He's gonna hit the bash!
Yeah!
The dream!
And that's an A on disc for free.
Dangerous moments here.
Aurora have to execute this fight.
Much cleaner.
If they lose this roadsharp, the game's gonna fall into a very difficult spot.
Mm-hmm.
gonna fall into a very difficult spot. No one's doing having a BKB as well for the
protection then it's how do you change them him as well too right you're gonna
have to rely on the Abyssal Blade they do now have that picked up for Nightfall.
It's gonna be there St. Tannick he's able to jump in again and will immediately get
taken off in. Nightclust coming in with a stun St. Tannick he's thinking about the
chronos there he won't even need it here to take out Kaori the finger burst comes
through. This Kaori is bought down. And is this BKB used? Let's see how keen Aurora
wants to be if they want to even try to pressure. Because Chemical Rage was actually
also used on both sides. Back up and farm a little more here. Which where Aurora, that
hurts. Don't want to back up and farm too much here in this game. I know that's so not
whilst. This place destroyed continues to get out of control. Yeah, he's getting very close
having that Scotty now picked up
can't leave the area of the Roshan too much here on the side of Aurora either 30
seconds until the entry spawns gem being picked up
Can you run out of it?
It's Carlos.
Let's get caught first.
Okay, so Tenik, let's forget to jump on 9 o'clock.
Both supports, those are great grabs.
So Tenik, still no BKB.
Carter?
On top of the sign is that with the 8-toss and the bushwhack,
Dreamclaw dropped down as well.
After you use the chrono,
Trice to stand his ground will force out the E on this,
but he's still super low.
No catch!
On top of the call, that gives the space for Satanic to jump away.
Trice to the BKB, TP up, and the bash isn't there.
Satanic may live, but it does cost notice his life as he has to jump in to give him the space to run.
Great aggression from Aurora, knowing that the BKB's not cool,
and they don't finish him off, then they can go in, catch the two supports immediately.
The ideal start.
And now it should be a critical push.
BKB's beginning to throw shot.
Let's see again, just...
Good quick turn and chase.
Eliminating the supports and knowing that they always have to try and push for more.
That's scary, you can see Satanic say,
oh my god, I need you just to pull out, trying to get out of here.
Any rush will go their way, they fall, give it to Makoto, he has the Aegis and the Banner.
Someone will back up and pick it up soon.
I'm just very close to the enemy counter, she's taking the end of that there.
Notice coming in with a call, she stops Nightfall from being able to throw the concoction over the wards of the Faceless Void.
Very good sacrifice there and now they do have that hex on Mira so that extra bit of control for the Faceless Void.
The pace is for you to know is kind of there everything right in terms of sort of sustained
damage output.
If they get the Kota kill, fingers there, burst them low.
Not quite enough though.
And it's going to mean that no one actually has to put the BKB and TP out himself and
the Kota will not lose the Aegis for now.
Nice class, trying to punch him.
He's actually doing a good job of trying to take out Aegis.
He gets the fingers back from it.
Alright, well that's an Aegis used.
And only cost him the life of the lion.
Does he say anytime a lion gets a finger stack, they don't mind dying, they've got the job done.
True.
Satanic also very close to 25, IveScotty is finished up.
His damage has gone up and he also does get a Prophet Pendulum, I'd like to point these items out when it's very important in these games,
because bursting heroes feels like it's everything in terms of these late games, so could give him that extra bit of survivability.
Really could, yeah, maximizes the chance of these time walks off setting a huge amount.
Yeah, we do see Triple Conjurer's catalyst though for the side of Aurora too, so very high damage for them increase.
Game's still very tense, but Aurora getting back into a more comfortable position here with this lead, but still not out of anything here yet.
25 is about to be there for the Void, and he still continues to have a pretty flawless game.
Clear in the waves.
And there it is, so 25 has been hit.
And let's see where Aurora wants to go from here.
Just smoking up and looking for a fight, a little more complicated without that Aegis.
Might still go for it though.
Because for Paravision, now we're getting to this point of the game, where the person's
foot is 25.
Is it still going to be sort of the same approach of we wait for them to come to us, or now
Now are they going to be like, alright, we've got to this point of the game, Satanic's massive,
we can look to go out and look to start the fights ourselves.
Absolutely, I think it's up to initiations at this point for sure, because they can kill
pretty much anybody if they do catch them here.
Being careful though, Praravision, they're backing up for the time being here, Satanic.
All the way back into the base, they're expecting some type of smoke play.
I might just come out now with that nice whiffling stat.
Going for the play himself, but there's that A on disc.
One beginning of thing is that this done.
That's worth the A though.
So maybe they have to make a play with that and try to catch somebody here while the board is not all together.
I'm making a quick smoke move. Statenix is going to clear out the mid lane. The rest of the team, though, they are on the hunt ready by his side, so anybody does their show.
Let's see how careful Aurora is. I imagine they all just kind of run together to make sure they don't get caught off here.
Blink now for Tukallis, so he can get in position to actually use this agonims. If they catch him early at the start of the fight, he completely removes everything that he does do.
As we saw in the bottom fight in particular.
What's Makoto's next choice? I mean, he does have that Parasma. It's finished up.
Very elusive.
Do they have a smoke on this bit of a water? I think they might not, right?
Yeah, I don't think they did. I saw they'd queued it up for some time here.
Mira, it is about to come up.
couple seconds there you go probably gonna look for that play as you said
para vision also very ready for the fight to be absolutely this is the
point of the game where para vision and not afraid of a full-on team fight this
could be a big difference maker so WS has the link ins now as well to with his
shard so he can protect himself and another core at least versus an instant
catch either one of these hexes very tense moments
close to panic or satanic smoke from Aurora
this void is not easy to burst 4000 HP
long for the long wrap around here
first get the information mirror
good work down
in the way they're ready with a concoction cooking

for the job
concoction
which is a three-man chrono
has it got the damage to bring down nine boys trying to bring this out
the best
the best
is laid down on the state that he could be capable of to jump away but the US
He's dragging back with the legs, they're turning postless, they can't even put a look down there!
With the boost cut into the sharp shot, they've bought down the Facespoid!
Aurora, 90 seconds. A perfect catch, two men stunned on the high ground there.
A beautiful jump on one, they were preparing themselves perfectly for a knifeful cooking of the concoction.
Feeling confident to make that aggressive move.
And there's a lot there.
Able to survive through the chronosphere.
Tanki enough now, with the ult pumping them.
Even with the farm that he has on the place this board is not enough to kill the alchemist easily.
He got that chemical rage up. I think he also got Spat of Lotus as well too during it.
And now home with the push. This is what Aurora for waiting for what they've been looking for.
They can potentially close it up. They're gonna die.
He doesn't have to buy back gold.
Might just be able to do it here. It's four heroes respawning.
I mean, can't forward them all to Genshis to take in the builders pretty quickly.
Oh wow, Nightfall sells all of Kha'fgar's items to buy boots of travel and come in to make sure they can close it up.
A clutch way to end it as two men's gun. Oh wow.
Especially as well to sort of have the confidence to do that right.
I mean, it's a good thing to have a lot of people come in and talk to you about the game.
I mean, it's a good thing to have a lot of people come in and talk to you about the game.
I mean, it's a good thing to have a lot of people come in and talk to you about the game.
Oh wow.
Especially as well to sort of have the confidence to do that right after we had a game earlier.
We did.
Where the sort of the buyback trying to all in at play, it worked out in the end.
But it did make the game a little more complicated.
He still goes for it here.
Absolutely the correct move.
And at the end of the day, for all the fun that Satanic had, he didn't have the buyback goal.
Maybe a little bit of an oversight there, Fog.
Spent it for the Satanic thinking that it was going to be enough for the fight.
But they just didn't get their fight together.
He lost two heroes right at the start of it to Collis a couple of times now dying before
he gets anything off.
Great information there, great jump from Aurora, great confidence to go through this up a war
play and just go for it.
No, very, very well played that last fight by Aurora and Nightfall in particular saying
you know, it's got to be a satisfying one right when the enemy carries been farming
all this game but it doesn't come together for say Tannick.
Aurora game five.
They've got him sorted, they're pushing it to a game five.
I can't wait, it's two to two now between Aurora and ParaVision.
You'll love to see it going the distance here at the Grand Finals.
This game felt a little bit like a race against the clock for Aurora because you never know
that Faces Void basically will beat everybody if it gets to Super Super Lake Dammit.
Aurora, when they knew how to deal with it, even if it's gotten a little bit late in them,
probably they wanted it to be.
Yeah, it was shaky at points, but Aurora, they stayed pretty collected.
Nifo made a critical mistake and at some point they get blinking into chrono just dying immediately, but
They didn't crumble after they didn't keep cramping
They kind of were like, okay, we made a mistake and kept playing it's not what I expected
I kind of expect after that moment that they might emotionally crumble a little bit start making more mistakes to get outplushed by
Parisians, but that didn't happen they kept it together and I think they showed that their draft was better
Yeah, they played very well. I agree though. There were shaking moments for sure
But at the same time like for war I think their supports did a lot even like when the game was prolonging
You know mirror on wood wing. He had like a lot of good hexes with korya on his edge
Like this guy will always get items and edge with items obviously does a lot too
I think you saw like the out with the large though, you know coming together
It was enough a little a little bit shaker than I expected, but they still got it done with you
I hate woodsford woodsford
I hate this hero, he's like the killer of dreams, I feel like stop picking word spread.
That was the only issue for ParaVision this game?
I mean, his item build was not great either, I mean you speak on it, not us, but I didn't
like his item build, I didn't like his hero existing in the game, I feel like it looked
the same way that Void Spirits always looks at me in these games, where it's like, it
just does nothing, I feel like it does nothing.
Unless you have very strong lanes to move to, like, the starter or a swift game, I could have seen it working that game.
But I think the other games, I don't know, I don't like this hero.
I worry about you.
I worry a little bit about...
I worry about the confidence a little bit, I guess, after that, because we were discussing during the draft,
did he go for the void spear because it's more comfortable, and the pango game previously just didn't feel so good,
so he wanted to go for something that he just felt like he was better at.
But then, after losing a game like this, like, do you go back for the pango, given that you...
They didn't have the confidence to pick the void spirit, like, puts them in a bit of a weird situation, draft-wise.
Well, maybe pick IO and then, you know, get carried by whatever you think.
That works. The one game that terrified me in IO.
It did work. I... I do wonder how they're gonna treat this puck, though, because...
Up to this... Up so far, they've been totally fearless about the puck.
They could not care less about it. They've been at one game last, man.
But generally they've been very like whatever they can pick pockets fine
We can play against it
but when you pick your favorite hero against you pick the void spirit and it doesn't matter that can be problematic now
Maybe you're scared it's game five you're like I would want to play against the puck and you leave something else through
There's a lot of things to juggle and you have to decide on something you have to be confident and you have to not overthink
What is the the actual problem here because at the end of the day you need to play well
You need to be
Comfortable and confident believe in each other and not get too worked up about like oh we plus this game
This is a problem. That's a problem like because it's very easy to just flip into a bad mental state
Okay, that that that's what I want to ask you guys about is like we've talked about the psychology of a grand final
Now we're in game five like there is a single game left for both of these teams
Like how does the mentality change?
The pressure now is suddenly on I think if you
For example you won with Wisp and you decided for whatever reason not to go with it
And I feel like knowing like players in these situations like I'm sure some part of my classes like I
Would have one of this game already if I was with and you might not fade before game 4 because like you want to be a good teammate
And all this stuff, but I feel like some part of you is feeling it and if he brings it up now these things can like spark
Bad things happening going it like into the next game
You know like if puppy or whatever decides like hey, we're not gonna play the list or there is like some stuff there
But it's that can be quite sensitive. They need to struggle as a coach and as players as well
Like you need to know whether you can bring these things up or not
Who do you think would have been like does one team benefit more over the other if they have picked priority?
Because you have had like both teams playing very similar things for like a few games in a row and continuing be like I'm first pick
You're second pick I'm first pick your second minute. You're right. I'm radiant. I'm dying
Exactly like is there any I don't think they're gonna change it up. So I feel like it doesn't really matter
I think both teams are and they've proven that they're willing to stick to their concepts, right?
Like they showed that with the running two drafts back to back the exact same way like the I don't think there'd be a switch up
and that I think more most important is what does party want to do and
What's interesting for me is like I feel like Aurora has kind of slept it where it's just like now party has to tell Aurora
What they wanted because Aurora has already put it out there like it's evident for anyone see I wonder how
you lose that game and now it
goes to this like you lost your
buffer. They've had the buffer
the whole series and no point
have they been one away and now
they are compared to Aurora who
have been on the back foot for
the series. The script is flipped
a little bit and that can be
like I've been there. I've been
reversed swept and that fifth
game when you were up and now
it's even that's it feels like
you had something and you lost
it even though like nothing has
changed. You're still just
playing Dota. You need one game
to win. That hasn't changed
something about the game. You
know, it's a game that's
been changed. You know, it's
been changed. You know, it's
to win that hasn't changed something about losing that buffer that you had I think it can mess with
your head if you're not used to you're not really like staunch and your belief in yourselves
and so I look at paravision like they were coming into the series they were the favorites I don't
think they are anymore I think if anything you could argue emotionally Aurora are the favorites
and so I'm really curious to see how it like feels watching them play well how it felt watching
this play was that it was very unfortunate that nightfall blinked in there and sunned himself
But his team carried him after this.
It's good that they can keep it cool.
And also like, you know, Zotanic, later, you know, the fight is over.
Because we're also talking about, you know, they were like one fight,
maybe like one and a half fights away from like, you know, ultimately making it.
You know, you throw out the tip at nightfall, like, haha, idiot, you know,
you didn't watch the time, you died.
He's a young guy, he's very good.
You know, he definitely does feel that way.
You know, he's a young guy, he's a little bit cocky, which is fine.
You know, now it's gonna be game five, it's crunch time.
But there are some moments where parry, they need to be a little more focused.
You had like two or three fights in a row where both your subs get killed first.
Like in most late game scenarios, killing subs first is nearly always the best, unless you can clutch a core.
Especially when it's like some Chen line, you know, spell casters, which subs usually are.
You cannot let that happen.
And if, maybe it's not the subs fault, you know, maybe someone else needed to be in a better position,
or they got a smoke angle, someone didn't stand in the right place.
But overall just like understanding what needs to happen and why it also needs to happen and in order to make it happen
Who needs to be where what matters? Are you ready? Well, if you're not ready, tell me bro
You know, I'm not gonna go here and die first. So you gotta bring your a game
For sure another thing that I was thinking of watching this clip is like
This alch like the net worth graph on the alch he was so fat right in your the game and this axel's last pick
That's not supposed to be the case right like they put the alch out there really early on and you have every possibility to craft
what you want to deal with it. And I wonder if this is kind of like exposing
Parry a little bit too, and that like they don't actually have a proper answer
to Alk. And when I think about how Parry has been playing, it's a lot of like
surviving Gelfin and letting 9-class roam. And when you do that against Alk, he
just gets unbelievably fast. So I think that there's actually more problems here
that Aura has discovered in Parry's like draft than we've realized before I think.
that they have to solve in that fifth game. The teams have to put it all on the table for that
fifth and final game of this Best of Five Grand Finals. We'll see you on the other side of the
break for that one.
Thank you, Effie Bot.
Wait, where's Volume 5?
Where has that bot gone now?
Oh, really?
Got my cardboard.
That's gonna go on your performance review.
You can't silence the Lord!
This is like the perfect day.
To catch the sun and dance away
On my first ride by my side
They're lighting up the darkest night
Now they play our favorite song
Everybody sing along
Sunlight makes me smile
My friends start dropping by
No one will break my stride
It's a good time, a good time, I'm feeling fine
Music keeps me going right, going right
Oh, there's a tip for all you like
For all you like
I'm the nature bright in the sky
I'm not just stealing your eyes
The sunlight makes me smile
My friends are dropping by
One will break my stride
It's a good time, I'm feeling fine
The sunlight makes me smile
My friends are driving by
One will break my stride
It's a good time, I'm feeling fine
Anyway, take a seat everybody. Today's lecture will be on the 8th full rebellion of the 19th century now.
Thank you
Five dollars, keep me on one more hand
And we'll stop
Can't we get a real handhold down here?
C'mon, what are we doing?
Shut the hell up, baby
Stay here, all to my new do-friend!
Stay here, all to my new do-friend!
Let's take you out for lunch!
Take seven, take seven, scum, scum!
You know I need you now.
Take seven, take seven, scum, scum!
Get out of here! Get out of here!
Get out of here! Get out of here!
I, I, I, to know what they're doing this world.
A deciding fifth game in this grand finals is Dream League.
It's a good night to be a Ghost2 fan and we will have a lot of question marks on how
the draft will develop.
I think this is one of the best of fives, Jenkins, where the story of the draft is so different from other best of fives,
especially because of that first and the second game, where the draft was almost the same.
Yeah, this is unusual, but in a very good way, where not that many heroes being left through,
or not many heroes being changed every time.
Like, nothing got changed this time, apart from the IO pick instead of the run it back.
But you know Paranvision thinks they made the mistake of not taking the IO in this scenario where they took the Void Spirit
They're just gonna replay this fourth game essentially except with the better draft and they should have done
So we'll see how this goes for them what their puck counter is
That pango has to be done
They're gonna use slaughter. I also think pango should be banned
I don't think the voids pair was impressive and I don't think they should care about it
Maybe obviously obviously
Yeah, I was wondering if they were going to do voidspray plus pango bands
But clearly not sort of it's good though, what about like an unironically a little band which doctor
plus pango
I can't tell if you mean I'm hot. I'm hot. Okay. I
Really like the lion as an answer from paravision like even though obviously they lost previous game. I feel like
The lion was like the only reason Makoto was killable
for the whole game. Like, Void Spirit didn't do anything, it was almost all the line.
They banned Huskar!
Yeah, I really disagree with this ban, to be honest.
Huskar was really good against Puck, but I think Makoto is more than capable of getting a little bit out of this lane.
And I also think that Pervention is not comfortable playing Huskar in a game 5.
Like, they would rather have Pangolir in this high execution hero that they consistently lose with or uncomfortable on.
I think this is a miss-ban.
Yeah, I think right now, if I'm party, I'm thinking about Pango, I'm thinking about Witch Doctor,
and I just want to pick things that have worked for us.
Okay.
Well, if I'm thinking as if I am party...
The Royal Ass.
And so you guys were talking a lot about like the...
I guess like the read on how they feel about playing the hero, like, you know, about the band.
Because, I guess in theory, couldn't IO fix some of the things that maybe Huskar isn't so good at doing?
I actually think that if you're a bad Huskar team, I think IO makes it harder to play Huskar.
Because you have less control, you have less stuns, you have less ways to make it more forgivable.
Play it, and you're even more now like reliant on the Huskar.
You know, it's like, Wisp amplifies the Huskar.
But the Huskar isn't like super comfortable, then it's even more exciting about you.
Okay, I think that makes a lot of sense.
I like the Ursa ban to be fair, just because it's like Nightfall, Game 5, Grand Finals.
I mean, he's playing Windranger this game, I can tell you that much.
That's his buff, the only hero left.
I mean, the pango does make the Alchemist worse.
Like, pango is quite good against Alchemist, for the same reasons, the pango is good against Tiny.
It's this blob hero that relies on VKV, he doesn't like to have his mana burn, and he doesn't like to be kited.
All those types of heroes are really bad against pangoliers, so that AT now has definitely gotten worse.
And the same thing with Largo, it's a similar deal, right?
Right, thank you block guy you burn all his mana. He does not like that
So you have to buy this who burns now, which no one has no one's been doing. He's not been buying that he's been refusing
In this position for a war and will you go back to the bane or go for the hoopling who think it is already got the answer
Worked out well previous game, of course. Yeah, and this was a year those band in the early month
Yeah, like early games in the series, right? I mean, I'd like to drink a lot throughout this entire tournament
I even thought it was like a first pick hero for a lot of teams and it should have remained that way
So it's a strong hero. It's really solid. In my mind, it is a low execution hero.
It's a hero with low variance and that's a good hero for this type of game.
It was a high stable. Yeah exactly. You will almost always do the same thing
every single game. Whereas a hero like Rubik will vary a lot depending on what
kind of steals you get, if your positioning is good. There's a higher
chance of you messing something up on Rubik rather than on him.
Surely you get Kaori in Phoenix in Game 5. Just give him absolute comfort.
That's like then you get Whisp more up a bill. And Moira does very good against Spock as well.
He has to keep that in mind.
Yeah.
Maybe they'll just go for the...
Nevermind.
They don't care.
Wow. That's so... I mean, it really fits the theme of this final to me like that.
They're like, you know what?
Well, what's the tier? It's called Phoenix is batting is Io and Pangolare.
We don't care. We're picking it anyway because that's what we do.
We pick our comfort with our eyes closed and that's how it is.
I thought it was really cool that they saved their POS 5 for last previous draft, but unless.
Alright, so we got Paravision coming in with their third pick.
What has it been so far? It's been a support most of the time.
So we're looking at some type of 5 that catches?
Wait, Dr.
Maybe. I mean, that's...
You guys mentioned earlier...
I mean, like, for me personally, I don't see an issue with running DeMorca.
I think the Moertha is almost a given.
If they want to wait until later, that's fine.
If they go with Bane, I think Bane and Wisp is one of the best support combos you can have.
If you're playing Wisp, one of the favorite heroes to have on your team is Bane.
I like that. I wonder what's the hold of thought if they want to wait for the carry pick.
I think if you do that, you might lose the Moertha, and I think she's one of the best Wisp pairings.
It's good against everything you see, and I don't particularly see a reason why.
The legendary guy, Portnando to history.
I mean I think the response to Morita will either be Windranger or Axe most likely.
Both I think are playable matchups, but that is likely what's coming.
I mean you have two saves, so Axe by concept is not that good.
Some dude who just a straight jump wants to burst you is going to be pretty bad.
Generally against game plus IO.
Yeah, I mean Windranger is big comfort for Nightfall, I think it's a hero that he's looking at regardless of what the matchup is.
So maybe that's the holdoff, they feel like Muradin, the Windrunner is not optimal, and they don't want to give him that matchup for free.
What about, uh, Wade for Nightfall, like assuming the Muradin does come out?
They want our Vega for that.
Oh yes, okay, interesting.
It's a good cover, for the heroes that are potentially coming out, like you already touched on the Windranger earlier, like having some bling blademail guy, you have another setup.
I think it's a hero that if he has a good early stage you can sort of leave him alone, like he can cut against Phoenix, obviously you know if the puck angles you have to be semi careful about it.
Jenkins also mentioned the void that would also somewhat cover that hero.
I'm pretty okay with the aspect personally, but I do agree that they will lose the more at the pick
They will not get it later
I mean, I wonder if this I wonder how different the lane is if they've stopped in this year again
Obviously, you don't have the Largobas to give the axe to you
So your axe targets don't really exist just yet
But it did do very well against the axe earlier
And I agree with the assessment that it's pretty good against the way nine-class plays and then he wants to go elsewhere
He wants to like farm jungle on this aisle like he's greeting it up a bit
Yeah, so if you greet it up self and count up greed then that can be a nice way to take advantage of it
That's crazy. I was thinking about this thing. I mean, I don't think he's played at all tournament
He has not but he did say in the interview and he thinks it's good and he likes it
So and he's also got a place. Oh shit ton of pumps
Yeah, he probably has played his hero a bunch of times in this pubs for sure and you
farm on Necro like you just vacuum up form on the map so it is within the
character of nightfall I mean I also saw playtime do this they ran this Necro as
a counter to axe it looked amazing like I genuinely felt like wow like you
actually can't play a hero at all into this matchup so it it's a scary hero I
think for party to see on the other side so again with wisp you are all about
emptying up somebody else and if somebody else is really weak then you have
nobody to amp up and you like by nature become very weak because of that so this
Necro might really really be problematic for them to overcome I think.
This guy is an ultra problem I think. They need to cook up something
because until you have a nullifier later like oh but you have capability against
his life but when like you know you can like Holy Lock it's safe, Matt you have
Nightmare but Kerry Necro doesn't really play on that he's just a big guy who's
with radiance and just staying in the fight you just slowly burn and feed so
So unless you can kill him, you will lose to this guy.
What do you guys think about like, maybe a draw ranger?
Something to kill the Necro, it's like a scuffed version of Moirata.
I feel like Yatoro has probably inspired Satanic to play the draw in his pubs.
I like it a lot.
I think it's a great suggestion.
I think they want to hear like that.
They want some turret, right?
They've got a bunch of beef.
You've got a bunch of heal and save.
What does that all want?
It wants damage, right?
I think it'll be a perfect pick.
DUSA would have been decent too, it's just not a super high power level hero.
Yeah, it's a similar vein, but honestly I think it's worse than DRAO.
Because I think DUSA is lower damage and also sort of fits into that tank category.
No, yeah, I actually read the like row. I didn't think about it myself, but it makes a lot of sense.
The silence is extremely high value of this game. You have options and ways to kill Metro.
You can keep your distance. It kills egg.
I thought they would maybe like ban Centaur, but maybe Centaur and Primal are like kind of similar like heroes I get on top of the
Most likely turret hero you build a blade mail. I think Primal's more comfort for WS
But that's what I think it is. I think they've been banning it quite a few times and because the hero that he would look for
Yeah, I didn't really, I don't think I remember seeing his thing go somewhere in the story
I also think Centaur in some ways is a really bad game 5 hero
Because I think the hero is relying on getting I like I like this way more because the hero that you can farm and get fat and like
Because gamefives are notoriously chokey and so if mistakes happen
You have a baseline like this year was really easy because you just farm and then if they over commit or you get a nice
Go you don't break all it's very simple same thing with necrophos puck
But they're all it's not heroes that are that difficult to play
My coat is super comfortable necrophos plays itself practically and so I like this considerably more than some stone that adds like the burden of
Execution unnecessarily
There's so many smiles.
There's so many smiles.
I'm thinking, is there a meeple?
What is it?
Meeple makes no sense though.
Meeple?
It can't be meeple.
As the last pick.
I don't think so.
I don't think so.
I could see some, like, Luna, but I don't know why they would, like, smile about it.
I think Luna's worse than Drow.
Giant!
The old school.
I mean, to me, this changes the whole feel of the draft into...
If you're trying to blitz them.
Because this Necrophos hero is very slow.
just farms a long time and our gyro are like the best gators ever so maybe you
win your lane and you just run at this guy and you keep the tempo up and you
just go go go go go and you don't give him a chance to farm that falls taking a
walk I mean put on the lights and I did put on the light on the light also for
Aurora this is their third grand finals this season none of those grand finals
have gone through game five better yet one was a very one-sided 3-0 one was a
It's a pretty one-sided 3-1. This is the most even four games in the Grand Finals that they have played.
So it is a big deal.
And what a draft on both sides to end it out.
You have one side that has kind of the easy lineup in Aurora.
They have the anti-choke lineup, the beefy boys that are really hard to kill.
And then ParaVision, who they're like,
Yeah, we hear you, but we're just gonna run at you. We're gonna out-execute you.
And if they can pull it off, it's really cool because Gyro's not a hero right now.
It feels pretty weak.
These are both very cool drafts and they can both win in very different ways.
I would slightly prefer overall to be Aurora, but like this is, you're here in a Game 5.
If you probably do all the right moves, you know, like go through a gate, like when you're saying,
they absolutely have a lot of plays. There's a lot of purpose to their picks.
But yeah, I'm just excited. I think this Necro is still, to me, he looks like MonkaGiga.
He looks strong.
In a good way.
In a very strong way, like I'm scared type of way.
I feel like the funny thing is that there's not that much data on either of these teams
playing this style of Dota, so I don't actually know who's going to like, I don't know who's
favorite here, I don't know which team I prefer, because if it was playtime playing Dyer's
draft, I would almost feel more confident than Aurora, you know what I mean?
Because I've seen them do that a bunch of times.
It's right in their wheelhouse, and it looks strong when they do it.
And then like, Wisp, Gyro, I haven't seen for years.
There's just so much on the line, Paravision has won a tournament forever, and Aurora has
never.
I think both teams really really want it and I think you can feel that I think that makes it so much more exciting to watch
No, both teams you can definitely feel it
I wonder which one of these two teams feels it in the air a little bit more. It's an I'd with game number five
Here we go, guys and girls, it's time for game 5!
Between Parapetion and Zahora, I thought we'd get some gun and new heroes!
A Gyro!
Coming out here for Stratonic!
Oh yeah.
I did have a look, we already talked about the I.O.
How Parapetion never loses with I.O.
How Parapetion never lost with the Stratonic Gyro.
They have it.
It was a Gyro of a different time, but it was a Gyro with the faster of course,
Of course, and you had the innate, the chop chop, which I think was also quite relevant.
A lot of players used it and have used it quite nicely.
Oh, and I think we're in for a hell of a game five.
This does look like it's going to be crazy super-mischievous.
And I do want to talk about Nightfall's Necros, which brings up the genre.
I'm proud to look that up.
He hasn't played it in four years.
He's done it in the role games.
Last time was 2022, and he only had one game on it.
And he's in terms of professional.
Professional, did you check his kind of pub games?
I was trying to look up a bit of his power.
I couldn't find too much info, so let me know what you find.
2022. Yeah, that's the one I was talking about played a single draft game of Necrophos in 2017. So he just I mean, okay
We don't see the newest stats. So maybe he's been doing it in pubs
And it's not recorded obviously because it's the hardest tracks and but it's not even silver tier on the or what anything
It's not nothing. It's got nothing under it right now. Well, it's a good job that the hero is easy to play right
He's gonna be fine on it. Yep, and it's versus an axe right to the lane
We've seen playtime play this and it's designed to do well versus the axe in particular and versus pango, right?
Yes, you can get controlled, but your ghost shot is gonna be pretty effective at least versus some of that burst damage
However, I don't know. Let's see if my ball can execute it because it's a very mid-game tiny trap that I see Aurora going for
Paravision. You can also fight in the mid-game, but scale pretty hard as the game goes on and it's gonna be the test too, right?
Night class with his IO. Kiyori on his Phoenix. Who's the right one?
That's the super exciting.
Most supports, you know, you've always got to kind of tear these heros away from them in the form of bands or
the way they were saying they'll take them.
Definitely, and we do see, who wasn't at this build also?
Wasn't 33? Yeah, it was 33. The double fairy fire one, which is normal, but then double fluffy hat.
Very early to get that extra HP that you're kind of lacking on necrophos.
And that was also against an axe, right?
Yeah, I think so, right?
I believe so.
I think almost every game have, not every, but most of the games of the Necrophos have been versed.
That's true. It's sort of what I like it.
Mid lane, let's see how this matchup goes also. No one versus the puck.
This is the third time we've had this matchup this game, right?
Yeah. And let's see if no one, this time around, is going to be able to beat Makoto on this matchup.
Because Makoto did have a slight edge, at least in the last one.
No line, at least from Tawar about this game, right? The puck.
True. So, a little bit more limited disables in particular, but a lot of physical damage that can be pretty disruptive.
Now I'm super curious to see how this Gyrocopter is going to look to build.
It's just going to be standard since he's playing with the Iroh.
Iroh probably, right?
He's not paired at this point with him, but we have seen this Iroh.
Actually, these two have played in this tournament since Ligma Galaxy was here and they love
Iroh Gyroh.
Didn't have success with it, but they do the standard Kippen builds.
Yeah, Iroh, they can absolutely match tempo, play super fast, and it has extra hybrid damage.
First in that network, of course, of course, too.
So that's probably why they were thinking about this Iroh, even though it's not super
popular.
What gives that extra sort of element that might make Nightfall think twice about turning
up to the earlier fights?
Yeah, and I mean even this isn't the most normal one, but even versus the Egg, right,
you can hit the Egg and flak off of it as well too, so you can do damage in the fights
too, so.
With the Io Axe this time around, not gonna go for kills, gotta play for that farm.
It is versus a Phoenix Necro, so, they can trade farm, feels pretty fantastic for an
Io and Axe versus these two.
Couple couriers getting killed here as we do see, Ducalus loses his but then he kills WS's.
Well I'm like, my farm's looking very good so far from Saitanik.
Yeah, and most of the games where there's this Darkbreaker especially with Hoodwink, it's a very strong aggressive blade in particular,
but hard to take advantage when you're playing versus this bane in particular, can stop the aggression,
and if you don't get the kill, you're gonna get turned on by this gyro.
And what will be the build problems they're telling you?
We'll see what the Falcon blade first and then
Are you getting the axe in a maelstrom or is it gonna be like small crit?
I like your yasha. I like my rush. I like a small crit usually. Yeah, probably but go up to see which one
Oh, just missed two creeps there. Oh looking for the kill though Mira steps up
Can't quite go for it there. I might just ask for to Carlos. They're gonna get him first blood WS
They went aggressive and they got punished Mira will be okay as well dude doesn't even have to pop the very fire
It'll be interesting to see what route satanic wants to go with the builders there is that a little bit of flexibility
Jar build up let's go speedy he can be too because I haven't really seen this here that much in this patch
So you've course lost your chop shop can't do the little disassemble please
He also lost the other, you know, the secondary strikes.
He do at least have this very fast movement speed in fights.
And he's gonna have an IO, so he's gonna be doomin' it.
That's what he's doing.
And notice, here we see...
He is gonna go Dominator!
So, bit of an interesting approach that he's gonna do this time around on the axe.
Why'd you think that is?
Probably just because he wants a farm, doesn't have a good parry, right?
Last time he didn't have a parry to go for kill threat, as the attacks do.
To me, that says that he just wants a farm mark.
And there's some good creeps that can trip up something like necroflux.
Dispel creeps and things like that so...
Yeah it'd be interesting to see how he plays with it.
Yeah, cool.
Yeah and as you say with this sort of micro you can really, really maximize the farm by dragging those waves, bringing it to yourself, isn't it?
Duking it out.
Bring it out, of course again no one is going to be going for the mage there but he has not gone for the nera.
He has gone for the nera.
He wants to try and punish noticed.
Do they have the plus one?
Phoenix is connecting.
Start chasing him down, he's got the aisle behind, it's enough to sustain.
Let's have a look.
Tether comes in from 9 class, the damage equaled.
It's enough for Mira and Kory to take him down and at the same time Makoto, he gets the solo plate.
They were both sitting super low in the mid lane.
Does anybody get to kill 9 class?
See if he can do something cheeky with the spirit.
He's trying.
He's not going to be able to do it, not enough damage at this point from the IOS.
The Koto lives, and Aurora essentially gets those three kills there, double kill from there,
and Makoto, everybody get that big one in the mid against, and I walk.
And a good read of them too, right? The acorn comes in as soon as you tether, it's like,
oh no! The acorn's gonna bounce between the two of them, they're that extra damage,
and maybe no one was like, wait, where's my IO?
They're gonna come to me, man. Wasn't the case though, as Aurora got themselves a nice kill.
Kaori will be able to dive away, as well.
CS though, across the board. Little bit better for the side of Paravision with these lanes.
And that class is going to bring those creeps to notice that he's not going to steal the
farm away from his axe.
And Dominator is going to be finished without a very, very quick pace.
Yeah, I'm looking forward to see what he can do with this Dominator and if he's going
to go for any type of specific creeps in particular.
And also just where the build goes after that.
Yeah.
I mean, is it still going to be Linkblade Mall or do you look elsewhere with the build up?
I'm curious.
Yeah.
I'll say.
I'll say.
I'll say.
I'll say.
on the bush block, from Mera.
Good protection.
The one that's having a minute wisdom.
He's making the move down here.
No one, also, is trying to match.
Rotations are coming in from Aurora.
Paravision probably have to just give them...
Yeah, they're not gonna be able to try and challenge this.
I love game fives.
We rarely make it to some of these,
and sometimes they can be very underwhelming,
because they end up being a bit of a snowball,
creating like craziness, but this one,
definitely doesn't feel like both teams
can duke it out at any moments.
No 4-0 right now for Aurora, as we said.
Last hitting so far, Power Vision will be pretty solid.
And so much teamfighting.
That's really the main thing I'm looking forward to in this game.
But we'll see how much Power Vision wants to look of picking teamfights
rather than just playing for that farm game for specific timings.
As the Dominator, that kind of indicates to me
that they're going to play quite a bit more around that farming.
And I think Notice is going to go like, what, the Vessel build?
I imagine, because this is what we used to see on some of these acts.
You don't play for the blink call, you're versus a Necro anyway.
It sounds weird sometimes, but it's something we've seen some of these players do to adapt.
Yeah, it's a very good Vestal game.
Yeah, because that's the thing, right?
No one else really can buy the Vestal.
No.
So, it does have to be the axe.
Yep, and it's going to be great versus the Necro, the Donalds,
versus the Phoenix spells that come out too, so...
Probably is going to be that one.
Koto.
Looking for the play here with K-O-R-E.
They're pretty healthy.
A little deep.
No one's thinking about potentially trying to get into that, but I tell you,
get them too many arrows, they won't be able to keep the call this time.
Too much magic damage, doesn't even get the ash leaves and shield off to protect themselves.
Can't strike back.
Aurora.
Playing super aggressive here at the start.
Looks right with that.
Here in the mid, yeah, Noah.
Should be alright.
Good pressure from the Codes, I-
There's no need to moth the way it f-
Tower is taking significant damage here.
Donald, it is at the ready also.
So for Paravision, have to be ready
for the move that's gonna come out.
It doesn't look like they're gonna be hitting creeps for quite some time here,
unless it's around the pango roll in particular, which here we go.
Gonna use it in the opening,
back coming in with the relocators while rolling thunder will catch mirror in the river.
It's gonna be a dead hook, Link.
Can they get Makoto as well?
It would be faster.
We're going to jump across back to the safety tier one, Makoto.
We'll be alright.
Very early level 6 as we see coming up for night class.
He's going to go back with the Jarropopter,
and now it's time for them to pair together and get that crazy amount of fun that we used to see this year on.
We're going to get these paired up with the IO.
Yeah, we're interested to see how well he can keep on track with the farm of Nightfall
on the Necrophos once he has the Radiance on it.
Yeah, going for the Small Crit first, then probably that Agendim since we've seen the build.
And we'll see how much nightfall can get, because we've seen this Necro hero.
It's been pretty good.
It's been pretty good over the map quite early.
Not in their hands so much, as we've seen, but playtime has shown it.
The power of the Kaori is 6 again.
Very early.
They want to do something with the straight away to get the coil onto.
No chance.
He's just egging into the egg.
Ah, that'll do it.
No, they're aggressive play.
Aurora setting tempo, 6-1.
Oh, he's so aggressive with Kaori.
Again, doing the same thing.
to like a hundred HP dives in their face. Maximum burn damage on them.
Reason he loves to blitz Phoenix so much.
Daytime as well too for WS, so that damage for the pretty good dawn
will be extra for him to farm.
Not just the healing, that might be dead. He's still got the creep out, so we'll be
able to grab a creep wave. Drag, this is what we used to see the
centaurs do as well too. Very hot. Bring the wave to you. Yep.
We'll have some camps blocked. We do see a sentry is placed out here, but we'll be able to continue getting this farm forward here.
Much more patience, I would say.
From Paravasion, they're gonna look to sit back and pick very specific fights. Aurora, I think they're gonna look for pretty much every single one of these fights.
Absolutely.
Especially when he's got the Radiance done.
Yeah, and into the bots afterwards. That's gonna be the solid timing where Nightfall will not be missing out on a single bit of action if you can kind of get his way.
Super aggressive lineup and very good supports to be able to thrive with the
pocket in particular. The coil plus either one of these ultimates should net
them even the dental core kills. Unless they're ready on the side of
Paravision, how's Ducalus looking? He's still not quite level six.
Yeah, trying to pick it up here from the mid-light.
He can set up on his own, right? He can go find somebody somewhere, fiends,
grippers, sleep, and then they can relocate in, bring in the numbers, but
they have to be ready for solo guardian as well, so quite a few different elements.
Both teams have to be prepared for it.
Let's give the video the answers for this.
This is a 9 class puck that eventually, as we've seen it,
or a 9 class Ohio eventually that does get so ridiculously farmed.
He has the mech finished too, so pretty good timing for him, matching the farm of K'orei.
Let's give Aurora wants to make another one of these moves to the egg.
It's back at the ready. They've got the coil.
No one's got a shield rune, quite a bit harder for them to go for him since they won't secure the rune.
Gonna look for Nightfall. Does have the point already in the ghost trap, so not the easiest setup.
Donald is at the ready.
Trying to find the angle here.
Dive him, could get messy.
They open with the grip.
Donald's coming in.
So the Guardian Hill is enough to keep him safe.
The Rolling Thunder's there, he'll fall.
Now bringing in the Gyro, ParaVision, they look to see if they can find something more from this.
Having missed all over the way of WS, no one ever could see the Rolling Thunder over the water.
And now they tell him to close up with the Rocket Barrage and get away from the Supernova.
They get themselves two huge kills.
They got the chain stun.
He didn't get anything off.
No greater healing, Lotus.
No ghost shroud.
Nothing perfectly executed on top of him there.
And Aurora was ready for it.
They didn't get any type of save for him in time.
I was able to get that fight in as well just before the Radiance Pickup was there.
He will have it on the respawn when he's back out on the mat.
I thought I'd be able to get that little play in before that is complete.
Notice the Kodo is trying to bring it to at least steal away these ancients.
The Kodak is trying to bring it to at least steal away these ancients.
A lot of damage, but non-classic damage to keep himself safe from the Kodak.
He's gone too aggressive.
The old board used. He's not going to way out of this.
Oh, and the Dominator creep even coming in to play the Boulder.
The Rilks at him, yeah.
And top, the Kodak.
What's up on the Kaori?
Cool stuff!
So much done here.
And Aurora, they're drafting.
advantage they do not want to be getting behind versus this gyrocopter who's gonna
scale incredibly hard in this game. That's a pretty painful sequence, losing so much
after they were 6-1. All the kills are paramissive.
Perfect time to make this move, the town's gonna have a vager, we're still on the career
on the way out to him, didn't have a radiance, no real damage being done. In return, I'm
able to deal with 9 class, at least burst through the eye with the sharp shooter. We're losing
Two of their cores there for that play.
Rora got a strike back.
Get the setup on a nine class.
The mech off.
Okay.
Good aggressive play.
Except it'd be pretty fast, right?
If the fiend's grip comes out,
they have to look pretty much instant on it.
Or even like, even faster.
Like, be ready for as soon as you see this man.
I can core here again. Power vision.
Uh-oh.
Big money again for no one in Satanic.
Another potential catch, notice. Nightfall's trying to close the gap.
He managed to get away from the coil in time, and now 9-class is in with the heroes besides coming in! It's enough!
Mech down for 5 more seconds, good timing, Nightfall closes that gap.
Notice got turned a little bit there too. Gets caught.
strike back. How's the agonist looking for satanic? Pretty close to it. One more component.
WS is really struggling this time around though on the dawn breakers we're seeing on the network.
I mean it is kind of one of those games where he's just gone, if you saw the Guardian in
this stage of the game, surviving after you land, it's not easy. Definitely not. Versus
rolling thunder, even versus honestly just the rocket right in particular from satanic. I think
Think of that last but it got redirected a midfielder, but yeah, either way, it's not going to be the easiest for WS to get in and out of these fights.
Looking for their own tower here.
I mean, you look at this game as well. I mean, we'll see where WS goes with the build, but is there some sort of argument to try and force these auras into your build, like the pipes and the crimson's against this?
Because that was one of the things that did kind of make a gyro game not as smooth in the midgame, right?
If he's fighting in fees or at times.
It means they're completely all in if they do that, though, right?
Like, fully all in, but maybe that's what the strapped was behind to kind of do, right?
If you can bring it together, keep this Necro alive on the midgame plays.
Do you really want to go late against a gyro?
I would say they don't want to go late.
So maybe after the Ekko Saber could consider throwing one of these weapons into the builds.
We'll see what the US helps for.
It might be appealing and could allow them to play towards a pretty strong timing.
Because no one else will really want to, okay? Or he's going to go for his own itemization.
There's no way you buy that on a hood link.
Obviously, nothing so... maybe.
It looks like he's going to build for himself.
Okay.
I'm going to hand it for now. PKB's queued up.
We'll see if that ends up working out.
Because I think it does feel like they can't fall into a really weird timer here versus this gyrocopter.
We'll have to save in the next update.
I say, catch!
I actually have to just walk up and put the grip on a WS!
It'll continue to suffer!
Hard game for him.
Knight class is starting to have so much farm too on this.
Ion Holylock is coming out soon with this mech.
And that gyro agonims.
It is going to be finished up so the farm is going to continue to grow here.
He can be queued up for nightfall.
Definitely needs it pretty early this game versus that gyro damage as we're seeing.
This timing is still going to be very good now, I hope.
There's already the vessel finished up for notice, but now he's going to start going back for this blink.
Starting to get at least the answers for this healing lineup.
It's a mech or foe. Most of the games I've seen it have success on. It's when it has a clear separation between the rest of the water.
That's true. Where it's sort of like that. At this point, sometimes even a whole line to me.
Yeah, like a 2k or something above. This time it's not the case. The gyro is matching.
We have a group up for the tier 1 top.
Three tower.
Cowruin, Dakota will also be able to claim for himself here.
No one will have the agonies done for the next play.
He is very farmed this game.
Relocate back up as well in just a few seconds.
This RIP also back up in 30, which is sad for WS, has to be so careful how he shows himself.
He's being so cautious how he steps up on this dawnbreaker. He is terrified.
When you get caught by a gripper or a call, a relic that's going to be in on top of you.
They are smoked up, looking for the fight themselves.
Carlos?
He'll break it.
Behind the bane, does mean the notice.
He might get caught also.
And it looks like he will.
They get to start up, the site comes in.
Ensure that they get more than just the support, they get a big kill and allow Nightfall to sight away, notice.
And they have Coil for the next play, they have Ag2, they did commit, just really the Reaper.
Can't potentially look for that next catch as well too.
Notice they've switched to, looks like he's thinking about just going to BKB first rather than the Blinks for the same reasoning.
See if he does switch it up still.
Where to next on the side of Aurora?
You notice he's trying to cut some creep waves with his dominator won't be able to find the bottom one here
How much more force do they feel to make a catch they do have coil they can't look for a play
Not easy to go for the pangal or the gyrocopter
Especially when Mr. Satanic is just about recipe away from his BKB
He is very far
That BKB, it's really all magic damage on the side of Aurora, right?
So that BKB is going to be a fantastic answer versus pretty much everything.
And they have a built-in BKB on the pango as well, right?
So, fights do feel like it's going to be a bit complicated,
but Aurora can poke BKBs, reset.
Something their lineup is quite good at here.
No one, full axe.
Level 15 for him.
Maybe it'll be around Nightfall's BKB when Aurora looks to start speeding up the tempo
here because he is pretty squishy versus the magic damage.
So much ahead.
Let's show off the juccas.
I feel Paravision is a bit happier with this tempo.
I think so.
Getting away with so much here for this Gyrocopter.
Maximizing the farm and bringing them from one side to the other.
Yeah, I feel like a Rorik definitely want to get something here, keep getting these kills when they have any of these ults at the ready.
There's got to be a smoke up with this BKB on night 4, surely.
And they got to catch notice before he has BKB too, because I just, I'm seeing this next fight,
that double BKB plus the rolling thunder, it's a lot harder to execute on a Rorok, those that come out.
Because now he'll just pop BKB and walk you and call you, right?
Carlos?
Here he's going for a solo play.
We'll find him.
Did you get the Stonist as well?
Can't hit finish him off.
Incoherent control. I'm sippin' over with the Summ right here.
Nice catches.
Kayori, leading the charge, baiting no one to show.
Gets the follow up there.
This is without Nightfall leaving me to get involved with that BKB too.
Finding them some great grabs.
And he could keep farming.
And stick him at the standard build.
Looking for the heart next into the Sheevers.
Good kill. Very good kill.
So we're saying wanting to keep finding these using the egg and the coil
See if when paravision responds they want to look for this direct fight immediately afterwards because they are gonna have double BKBs
So Aurora have to be ready for this upcoming move
Or just farm it up right split up farm don't let yourself get caught by those BKBs
Both sides to me they have to play a bit passive once they wait for
That next round of timings, times of the mid area.
And even Sides really looked to set up for an early rush this game.
They'll be through a fight, right?
Through a pick off in particular, because there is the global threats and just so much
teamfight on both sides.
Our vision, this is their timing.
BKBs are hit, looking for the fight into Aurora themselves.
I mean, they're so strong right now around Static with this gyro, I-
Aurora has to kite, poke, kite the BKBs.
Just commit into a fight versus it, but Kota might just get caught here, then she's going to walk up and get the grip on him!
Oh, God, that's a rush.
That's a real painful death.
Instantane in Roshan, and they don't even have to commit much of anything, just the fiend's grip.
No chance to do anything about this.
No, you can't.
4 versus 5, you don't have supernova.
So this...
should fall into the hands of Paravision.
Honestly, this Garo picks looking pretty good versus this, and that's the first thing it gets into these players.
You can see on Makoto, it's a really rough death room there.
Titanic's game looking better and better.
Something we just haven't seen for a long time, the gyro-ire.
So not succeed, we just had the one of a game.
It was tried this tournament.
But as you were telling me, right?
The Paravision, they've never lost with Ion and they've never lost with the gyrocopter either.
there so they aren't very comfortable when they get to these 7 points.
And this 9th class IO, very close to a glimmer, a catch bottom, trying for the TP out!
The sight will be there to put us up to the TP, won't get a side kill, but they will get
the kill itself.
No sight though, side for 9th.
Full Daedalus, 23 minutes in.
These are the sort of timings that back in the day if the Jiro IOs you'd be pretty terrified
if you're up against.
Even past the timing stage, only 24 minutes and he has this amount of farm.
It is insane that he's able to...
We've been saying right, Necroforce is the fastest farm in the game,
but Charo comes with Io, I absolutely have to do the similar thing.
That's the thing right, this is not so far from Nightfall's Necroforce.
No, this is certain.
But on pace with the Necroace that we've been seeing,
it is just the fact that, see, Tadic with this Io boost is keeping up
with the free farm of the Necro in this patch.
And it's not the pango too, right?
Alright, so the Minus Armor will also benefit by having you with Benjaro, Comptor.
Okay, Aurora, we're gonna fight here around this DD Vroom, they've got the Egg.
They have good vision too, they see no one.
Let's go to catch him.
Let's go, two men's by his side.
He does, he has notice next to him now.
Settle for a support.
Reload, okay, it's coming in.
Thinking about fighting back.
Push back, we'll be there quickly holding onto, say, Xanagan 9 class, so they will not get the chance to chase back.
noticed has the gem looking to go for some type of cliff
by the way he is actually using the purge creep I thought those are
potentially might think about it versus the necrophos here so
it's a dangerous little creep
looking to continue playing around this one ward they have they can get noticed
he has BKB
can't finish him off with just the two of them
he's patient doesn't even pop the BKB
It's very close to having his blink deck.
A couple hundred gold and they'll have to blink on the axe.
His gem, he's bought by two wards though.
This one in a bit of a sneaky spot too, but a couple of these wards.
That Aurora has downed.
There is this gem that has not taken them out just yet.
WS, showing top.
I'll have to call this a little bit surrounded.
This team's connected from above.
See if you can get back in and maybe look for an angle with a grip.
Can't quite.
It's coming on the courier though, so it's not on him just yet.
It's 9-4.
Very close to getting that next round of items.
He's picked up the plate now on the way towards the...
Kind of in between finishing off the half.
Once again, that reaver first.
Definitely wants this armor.
He bought it before, getting that reaver.
Just in case it thinks that there's this Daedalus on the Jirocopter.
Coming in towards top still about two minutes
Trying to jump away in with the shop shoes up
No, it's just not everybody get the angle with the call and he goes for the TP out mirror. He'll get out
Relocate they're gonna just be able to disengage from it again
Getting in only getting kills on the supports, but forcing relocation the least
Where's the relocate he's glimmered
He said the night ball was surging for it, I wasn't able to find him in time.
Full satanic, full satanic coming out very soon here, new neutrals also coming in.
He likes his tumbler.
Only a minute left on the ages.
This is seen in our paravision.
Very much seems like they're happy to sort of use these moments to continue to farm.
They're not pushing for any sort of tier 2s quite yet.
It's on paper, right? They've got that scaling line up in comparison to Aurora, just with the groundless gyrocopter.
It's on a company fire up there, but Phil's safe with the last few seconds of the ages.
It's a lot bigger, right?
This team's not showing just yet. They did show down the mid lane.
It's actually going to have to do quite a bit on the tier 2. The fortification will now come out.
Okay.
They'll fall back and look to maybe join the rest of the team.
Maybe not that they did, they're not looking to defend this tier 2, so they are going to let him get this one for free.
Reload kits up in 3 seconds too, so he can join the team, Makoto.
We'll blink away.
Tier 2, they're claiming quite a bit of these towers here as we're seeing.
Satanic takes the top one, makes his way bottom, takes that one as well too.
He's got Satanic done.
He does.
So whilst that Aegis is about to leave him, he does have many ways of staying alive in these fights.
They're staying alive in these flights. PKB's satanic and with the IEA behind him, he's going to be a top one to take out.
They have to execute it pretty much perfectly to kill him and he does have these teammates to back him up. They have multiple weapons in fact.
They're able to steal that wisdom just before they came in with the relocate to try and get it themselves.
Where did they relocate from it? They did it from a safe position here, Nightfall.
Let's hang up a little bit here. Notice.
Blink just pulled up for one second.
Crawling Thunder's gonna be there first!
They get the bounce back as well!
The damage coming in from the gun!
He's not gonna save him!
They kill him off for now with a call on the WS
Now get the door breaker as well!
They've been waiting for this moment.
Not how patient, did you see notice this whole time?
He had Blink caught and he's like,
I'm not going, waiting for the dog lands.
Then he goes and gets the catch.
Aurora, 60 seconds now versus this Jaraul copter.
I aim for death.
I fought to get these sort of kills to para vision giving them to this lineup with satanic
Stara the writing felt like it was on the wall for some time here
They find this beautiful opening onto this pack right after he buys the heart
He doesn't look that tanky versus line up versus Jiro by any means
He doesn't get the BKB off. He's dead and see if he does he came off
What kind of hurts we'll be able to snipe the Korea
Take this para vision this timing that they've been able to hit here
They're taking the racks. It's gonna be the mid-stand. They're ready to move on to enameling.
It's still about 30 seconds where there's no necrophos, Cario.
Gonna have to pop the glyph.
There are no creep waves coming in. They have dealt with them. Nera was able to cut it.
Should be able to protect the racks with the tower.
It's hard.
It is gonna go down.
No creeps though, so the racks are okay.
But, I mean, massively decisive hit, even without their Aegis just running through, knowing they catch the most important hero, Aurora, they have to get something going here.
This is not gonna be easy. It is not.
Award. Notice we'll see it.
Because they've got everything at the ready, just Veensgrip on the cool-on cooldown for paravision.
Gonna back up, reclaim a more defensive position here, they know that Aurora feels desperate to chase.
Instantly relocate to the bottom to shove it out.
And more growth for Centenic. He just finished up his Centenic.
Now he's got an MKB very strong build.
Yeah, 4K going on top of it.
Insane GPM. What's it actually looking at for him? 8.14.
Start to have that clear separation between him and the Mechropos.
I don't know. It's looking harder and harder as every minute takes bye for Aurora.
It does feel like it's gonna take some pretty major mistakes from ParaVision to allow Aurora
to get back in on this one, that their farm's still decent from Nightfall, but as we're
seeing, they kill the Necrophos pretty easily.
Yeah, it's just the hero matchups in particular, right?
It's a design to Aurora draft that wants to get a lot done in the mid-game, but ParaVision,
they just got those creeps that hit so many of them, even though it's 17 to 10.
Those kills, it's not on the big ones.
It's not on the Gyrocopter.
to die for satanic looking like he should be able to potentially clean this one up without a death
and mkb now finished up for him they have to throw literally everything onto him and then there's an
io coming in with the save or even a nightmare coming in from a bane yep there's a lot of different
elements that can just save satanic here just k yori have the hex and last game he was able to
find it so fast of the game before in particular but this one it's been delayed a lot
3 locates, just to push out the waves, heading over towards them, too hard to go for it.
You have to kill the eye on one second at a time, that's up to 3 joints.
Aghanim's now finished up for 9th class, so he's also getting increased scaling as this
progresses as well.
Look at that Satanic, but I mean, he's perfectly fine, and no, it just comes in with a cool
onto Mera.
Just have to run.
Nicoto, careful.
None of this is going to get popped, he's caught.
Oh no.
Oh, this might come to pretty gruesome ends.
Man, I honestly, whoever suggested this Gyrocopter, I have to give them so much credit in this
game.
It feels like the literal perfect case.
Because we don't see it.
No.
than the people have really even thought about. Have we even seen any Jara advance? I don't think so.
No, like, nobody cares about this hero, but here in Game 5, bringing it out and it's looking as good as it was at sort of its peak moments in the patches before.
Because when you look at it, it's how the hero is designed. First is Necrophos, right? It's mixed damage, and it's also a hero that matches slash outpaces in terms of farm that hero Necrophos, so...
And when it's paired up with the 9-class Iod, one of the best Iod's in the game, it's going to have pretty good results.
Creeks are coming in. You have to go through this gyrocopter.
I want to say twice, but it feels like three, four times or something at this point.
Don't branch out. They have every single timing they need.
Rourous timings.
Don't feel like they hit those.
Back toward bottom. They're not in a rush.
Continue to get this growth. It's insane scaling for this mechanic.
And it just isn't the same sort of scaling on a Rourous lineup.
No, not by any means. They do have the Hex on K'Yori, so all about living that one target that...
Can they ever all in that one target now at this point when they've gotten this farmed?
I mean, they really... Yeah, you've got to find the IO, kill the IO, then get the Hex into kind of a full summary on a satanic with the Necrophos on top of them.
It's like 5d chest really and if they may not even have the damage anyway to go through him if he gets
Even just to be giving up might be giving kind of hard counters the entirety of Aurora's trapped
Waves coming in bottom the final potential push there's no glyph
Kodo
It is next time, Dunnifle.
So, she was on top of the heart complete.
Big tank here, but it still feels like they can bypass right through it as we see how much damage Titanic does have.
And the setup's even easier now, DeKal.
This has a blink dagger on its way out.
So we'll be ready with those angles to come in and set things up with a quick fiend's grip.
And if you look at what Nautist is buying too, isn't going for any big flashy stuff, he is just queuing up a pipe, he's like, they are all magic damage, they have literally zero physical.
So if he can't get to that point too...
I did think that we were gonna see the Zonders something like that, but perhaps what he did feel like it was just gonna be too redundant if they went all in, not just sustaining the Necrophos, but...
To call us?
He's got teammates near him.
They punish him.
Get the nightmare off.
He's healing.
He comes in, nine classes, gets him back up to full HP.
And Makoto, that was his coil used.
Oaks just need to catch him with the coil as well.
No coil for the high ground, Dino.
Power vision. Could look the force in if they want to.
They're ready to go.
Still two minutes on this stage, yes.
They are looking at that final set of power.
It's pretty appealing.
Oh, they see someone's hopped, WS.
Should be able to force out a BKB from it.
Uhhh...
I mean, okay, he's gonna trust in the fact that the relocation is not gonna keep them here long enough.
Okay.
Bottom, are you joining?
I'm fine.
Now it's his- we'll get the call on Mera.
Should they kill the hook, winged off, the rest of Aurora scrambled back to the base.
Good on WS, they're at least able to hold that BKB. That was dangerous.
Up to the high ground in the satanic center, Bandit Town.
It's the tier 3 child, 9-4 taking a heavy damage here from the flat.
Can't touch the Tannik though, with all these heals from 9-class they want to take out the
banner because the catapult is still there.
So the guy is coming in, see if they can keep him alive then I'll fly down a point, I'm
going to be able to put the BKB in 9-4.
The retreat for now, they get the drag back on a ward behind, they try to burst through
him with the sidewind, the defensive 9-man comes in to play, 9-class is under the solid
spray and the end though is the Q.
Kory! Holding here on the Phoenix, but they come straight away with the three buybacks.
They want to keep St. Seneca alive, keep this push going,
because they know that whilst that was a big hit from Aurora,
it was everything they had in the tank.
They back up their resetting. The banner is still down. The catapults are still alive.
I mean, this is a quick move from PowerVision. You know, Aurora,
they just gave us sort of the best showing of the fight that they've had so far this game,
but the PowerVision know that it really was everything from Aurora there,
And now, they don't have anything left, that's going to be Makoto taken out here by the Rally Thunder,
or coming with the buyback, but Mira's got no buyback on him.
The feed script comes through, we'll get the chance to break out of him,
put the shroud in fact, he jumps straight back over to watch them.
But the calls there from Notice, they lock down Nightfall,
take him out of the game with a dunk, he's dead for 90.
As ParaVision will push on here for the mega creep,
fortification, buys a little bit of time.
But no Nightfall.
And no Mira, two dead, Saitanik jumps in,
SHOOT DOWN WS! The mega creeps are gonna be out for them!
They've done it Owen. The tips are coming out.
One final attempt here maybe from Aurora.
As the smoke comes out here from Makoto and Kaori.
They do have the buyback solo-guarding player available from WS.
But can they stop Paravision here? The tier fours are falling!
No one.
Just try to pick up some more kills, but he will get caught up by the Hex.
Silver guy didn't come in, but Static just jumps forward, takes out Gory, and it needs
your buyback there from the Phoenix, but the Ancient's exposed.
Static running and closed his arm.
Gigi's called ParaVision.
We'll take this series and win that there.
You're dreamling season 29 champions as ParaVision fucked their back on top.
They absolutely are. You can see some signs of breathing of relief there from Satanic.
26 in a row, 69 class.
It is kind of crazy that he got to play it twice in the brown finals because his IO, it is literally that good.
It does not lose. It has never lost when he's added with ParaVision.
And according to him, apparently never loses on his pubs.
And with the gyro counter, honestly, I had one, but who decided to pick this?
Who was the one that called for it?
This is my goodness, this felt like a genius pick for this type of draft versus Aurora,
and they played it super nice, ending with a kill deficit, but absolutely dominating this game.
And just making that heads-up buyback move to end the game?
Absolutely.
It was an impressive showing in that final defense, but it really was everything.
Without that sort of full combo, not a chance at all of threatening the lives of ParaVision.
Beautiful plays from them. A super fun sort of series to see how it played out in terms of the draft, right?
We sort of had Aurora trying the same thing over and over again. They kind of, at the very last game though,
switched it up pretty dramatically, right? They bring in the Nightfall Necrophos.
It's just not really a Nightfall hero that we've been seeing from him.
They struggled to set the tempo in this game. It felt like ParaVision were just ahead the entire time with the scaling draft.
Absolutely. Well, congratulations to ParaVision taking the title here at Dream League Season 29.
And what a game to do it with as well with the IO gyro gyro never dying this entire game
This part of the game still looked pretty spooky for para vision, but they were just biting their time waiting for the right moment
Yeah, for some reason like it looked like para vision was kind of crumbling a little bit
I mean when you get to game five of a grand final like this it kind of feels like this could happen for either side
side you know it wasn't going so well for them but they kept it together they
found the plays with heroes that are totally off meta notice absolutely
killed it this dreamly like this guy clutched on acts in so many of these
games but you also have to have a team like the the one fight at the top tier
one where no one timed the role so they was hitting the dawn breaker when she
ulted in. Like this was beautiful. This was so nice from all of them.
This is insanely well deserved. I think they are the deserving winners of this tournament.
I think they've looked like the best team throughout the entire tournament and even
though this finals is a little shaky and not like the clean sweep many day wanted, I think
it was much better for us as viewers and I think still a well deserved victory because
I think all of them individually and of the team were just standout performances of the
tournament. And they were, in my opinion, far and away the most impressive team.
I was really impressed with this Necrol. I've seen Axes have such a hard time leading into it, but they've managed to do the creep cutting.
I feel that the Wisp kind of offset the Necrol, and this is like the signs of a good team, where you know how to counter by adding something from your own side.
And it's layers upon layers upon layers that make things playable, and I think that's been the story of how they've drafted this entire Dream League,
where they've found creative solutions to problems that have been presented to them, and then they've executed it to perfection.
the perfection. Yeah, it's like all about the small things like you mentioned notice
you talk about the creep like the creep cutting and like him going for the
dominator as well is just like all these little things are just like abusing
that the enemy team like their catch isn't very good and like how they made
moves and also the patience like I think in a game 5 to play so nicely and
smooth and like the mid game with how they're executing how they're pressing
their buttons and it probably reflects also in the comms or I feel like with how
they played I could it look like very much as if they're all on the same page
they know what's happening they know what they needed to do so yeah I fully
agree just well deserving win for them they all played phenomenal amazing
team. Then this has been a championship in the making as well I mean they had
this whole season where they weren't doing bad but they changed coach and they
changed off-liners and then they changed off-liners again and and even when they
had this roster or even with still triple s they did okay but then the patch
dropped during ESL one Birmingham and this team just revamped themselves I
feel like it helps so much to, I don't know, relearn together? I don't know if
that's a fair way of calling it, Quinn? I think it was something like that. I think
sometimes you need to shake up whenever you're in a rut and something like a
patch can just be like, okay, we've got a new lease on life. We can relearn
things like you said. I think there is definitely something to that. You've got
new players, you can't figure out the way to win the way you were, and now the
game's different. We need to figure out how we were winning before. We can figure
out a new way to win, and they've done that, and it's looked incredibly
successful. They are a team to be feared by everyone because they are very very good right now.
I think especially because like there were so many doubters like this team they started at
the top and to be fair there's a lot of teams we've seen like that they come in they have these
like top tier players they do really well in their first few lands and then you know and then they
just never make it back and maybe there's some disband the players make it onto some good teams
but they the falcon story of like sticking together and then with this almost same roster
having the doubters and then they're coming really really good again. Like that doesn't
happen that much. They've done it. Like Paravision has done it. They are good again. They looked
top tier. It was not an easy road to get here, but by God they did it.
Yeah, and it feels like a lot of different aspects are coming into place at the right
time. There's a good season to be in top of your game for this one, but it's a drafting,
it's a gameplay, and it's understanding the patch and having the flexibility as well in
the heroes.
it's for sure like the patch magic and sometimes you know it's like things falling into place
you pick up the right guy you know nine-class and like notice that they feel good together
with what's happening but I think also like the puppy factor like the other day I heard
no one say in an interview he's he taught us real Dota like you're watching some of
the best players play and he's saying that what we did before is not real yeah like
it was no one who hasn't just played with Paravision obviously last couple years but
before that yeah like it's sometimes like when you hear you're watching some of the
best play and he feels like that he's being told things he's never heard
before or to change something in the game that they haven't done before I
think stuff like this is amazing to see and I think it's showing in their
gameplay yeah we can take also look at how Paravision has made their way
through this dream league because they've had an incredible successful run
the group stages they only dropped two series total they only dropped those two
series was it two or was it the one starting to doubt myself now but it was
one not a single series drops in the upper bracket they just made a I was I
was gonna say clean road but they didn't look at the team every time yeah it's
liquid especially liquid okay but like it was liquid falcons spirit and then
Aurora it's like a lot of times you get these like repeat wins we beat the same
team twice. They didn't have a single time and I feel like they literally beat all the top dogs,
especially Rekord.
Well done. They have had, not the easiest, but maybe for this team it's actually good to drop
one game here or there because that seems to be the way that they win by knowing the other team
very well and what they like to do and therefore just basically, they beat every team basically
with the strategy that that team prefers. Which is super impressive. And I believe we get the chance
to feature them in a gigantic monitor behind us! Hey, Nikolas, congratulations!
Hi, how are you doing? I'm super tired because we played long periods. I don't know how Aurora
feeling, but they played from the morning and it's super super mega tiring.
But the tiredness has, you know, paid off, or rather the effort has paid off here for the championship. For sure.
Yeah, I was wondering how the Game 5 felt in particular. Like, how was the pressure? Did you feel worried or stressed, or was it just like, let's just get this long series over?
If you ask me, I think Game 5 was really hard for me because I was trying to call a lot because I'm playing Bane.
It's like I have a 30-Bane, but I really don't like to play this hero.
I mean, it was a big pressure on myself to play this hero in the last game in the finals
and to find out my pick-offs, to find good angles, but I mean, they give us, so yeah, I was happy for sure.
That's good.
Yeah, I mean it was an amazing game to watch.
Yeah, the call is we are gonna ask you to pass the headset around a couple times if that's okay.
Could you give the headset to Satanic?
Yeah, I can give.
Awesome, thank you.
Hello, Satanic. We were curious, what do you think of Drowranger instead of Jarocopter in that game?
Would it have worked or no?
I think it's too greedy.
Zyara, I would...
I did something in game that's a draw, I think, which is FK farm, and most likely we would lose this game.
Okay, thank you.
Because they're playing fast, and it's hard to reply without Zyara, you know?
I wanted to play Juggernaut, but...
I gave you a job.
Who told you no to Juggernaut? Who was against it?
I don't know, my build team was against it, but I just listened to Papi and he said no, okay, I appreciate it.
Satanik, I have a follow-up question on the Papi thing, like your relationship with him, I know he talks a lot, he has a lot of carry knowledge.
Is there a specific hero where he helped you with like itemization or overall how you should play?
And then she said once in the game like I should buy myself a monkey only. I don't remember more
All right, we're gonna ask you to pass that said along to no one if that's okay, okay. Yeah, thank you
Hello guys, hey, I got a question for you
the last time we talked we you talked about the concept of sometimes like
working more feels like you're working harder but okay actually first question
whose dog is that oh it's our man feel it the his name is bike is he's our
talisman of the team that's how that works
Mask off.
He's good dude. That's a big boy.
Okay, anyways.
The question was, we talked about like this concept of sometimes working more feels like you're working harder and
you said you were
pubbing a lot less, but the pubs were a lot higher quality.
I guess my first question is can you explain that for the viewers like this idea of just doing better practice?
Yeah, well, the older I get, the more I understood, like, when I was younger, I was playing like non-stop,
I think I was playing more than anybody in Dota when I was like from 18 to 23,
and I was playing literally non-stop, 15 games, and the older I get, the other understood one thing is like,
you need to really take care of your mental state in the first place.
So you need to go to the gym, you need to go to see the friends,
so you can come to Dota and be fresh, chill, and ready, you know, like to play it like it should be played,
should be played, not just for doing it for no reason, basically.
Because if you do it, if you play less than, like,
you will play five pubs instead of ten, but you will play them
with the way you want to practice, you want to feel it,
and you enjoy it, it's going to be much more helpful to you.
I think so.
Would you say, I don't want to throw your team under the bus,
would you say your teammates are kind of adopting this mentality too,
or is this like a personal thing for you?
No, I think Dukar right now is doing the same thing as me.
he started to go gym and playing a bit less, not like too much less, you know, like it's...
Instead of 12, it's gonna be like 67 pups plus converse or something like this.
What's your... what's your favorite thing to do right now outside of Dota, to like, take your mind off of Dota?
I think spending time with my friends and my girlfriend, that's it.
That's a good answer, thank you.
That is a great answer. Could you give the headset over to 9-class and congratulate us, of course.
Yeah, of course.
Yo, what's up, non-class? Congrats on the win. I got a couple questions for you.
The first one, so last year you played a lot of like Monkey and Slark right now, it's like Io and Koto.
How do you choose your heroes? So just like, you think they're OP? Is there more to it? Is it like a specific style?
From PAPS I just say I have 24 with Strik and Anaya, I think, oh, with hero interaction.
And Kotal... I think he's a hololike titan and Balacid still, and like no Auras but still
heal Izimba, and Kotal my signature hero, so I buy hololike and nobody can die, yeah.
And now you play tempo and Monk is lark more for slow game.
Okay, that makes sense. And then when you play I- I feel like there's two types of I-Os.
There's the ones that will follow their co-around and you'll listen to what they want.
And there's some of the IOS that also make a few calls of like, now I want to play with
this guy, now I need to farm.
Do you think you're more one than the other?
I think I'm second time because I'm second guy.
I just use the Rela, so I did my job with someone on that meet, so I go full farm with
one and a half minute.
And before Mieka you should always farm with IOS probably, because you are kind of useless.
Do you think that's because you're a POS4 player?
Or does POS5, same thing?
POS5, but...
No, it's just because we're a laner, I mean...
Anyone can go and just pull wave versus you.
But on offlane, they're trying to harass you, but you have headrests, so they cannot really touch you.
Okay, and then the last one. You tipped Kaori at the end.
Is there some beef I need to know about, or is it friendly?
Oh, it's just fun.
If you start to tip me, I tip you, let's get it.
That's fine, you can do the first one.
I got one.
Well, I got one quick question.
You mentioned you won with IO24 Games in a row.
You, at the end of the game, typed 26 in a row.
What was it, 26?
I count these two games.
Ah, there you go.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's all good.
So it's 26 in a row.
There you go.
I'm not so interested in the IO and the boring stuff.
I want to talk about the monkey cane coddle.
Are these heroes just bad right now, the Monkey King and the Slark?
Are these heroes just like straight up bad right now to play because of like the temple of the game or something?
Yeah, because imagine you play on Slark versus Timber, he just wants to cram and you die, or Tiny one, everyone should die, and you're just walking, and they don't carry your vision, it's like Tiny walking around in Shadowblade, he will one shot you.
That's true.
On TI it was good because it's like a lot of vision and everyone plays slow because it's TI and they don't want to risk, you know?
So yeah.
Cool.
And if I forced you to play Monkey King and Slark, like you had to play it in this series, what would your build be to make it work in this meta?
Slark still portraits you.
And then I will see Monkey.
It's still a good share, but it's nothing, but I'm playing like you should go essence this tier, portrait.
And when you can take level 15 talent for damage and you can go on the fire, death, sci-fi, kurbikibi and kill supports.
Okay, so I will arrest the people who should scale for you.
I'll keep my third now, post five, because you jump to gate and you fight on a lot of spools.
Okay, interesting, yeah, that's good.
Noted, thank you very much.
Last of my mar for Jenkins.
Thank you very much for that one, 9-class.
Could you put puppy on the headset for us?
Not the dog.
Okay.
Oh, that would be nice.
Not like that.
Hello, Povzi.
Congratulations on your first tournament win as a coach.
I was wondering if it felt different than as a player.
It did feel different as a player.
Better?
So how did it feel different?
Because obviously you're still very involved with how the game plays out in this one.
This time I have a bigger monitor than I watch, I'm not really clicking any buttons, my hands are kind of like bored, so it's not the same you know, it's not the same, but it feels good, it does feel good.
I bet, can you talk to us about what you talked to the team about in between these games, because it felt like this series was pretty, I mean it was pretty fun from the drafting perspective from our side anyway, how was it for you guys, and what did you focus on?
We've focused on picking Radiant.
Because they can pick?
Yeah, especially we're green.
But seriously though, it's like every game seemed kind of similar.
So we had to just add a little bit of flavor each game and understand what can break them.
And I will give credit to Aurora actually because they ended up banning some of the heroes that we wanted,
even though they just won against it.
Like they banned Shadowfiend even though they won against it, they banned Slaughter even though they won against it.
And they kept improving their draft also at the same time when we were improving.
So I mean to be fair it was a pretty nice match.
Yo Papi, I got another question.
It was like half a year ago you told me you were going to do more talking than playing.
Can you talk me through, do you feel like you're coaching period so far?
Has it been how you thought it would be?
At the beginning I thought I was just going to add amplification to the things that the players like to do.
Over the time, I kind of just started doing the stuff that I usually do on a team.
So like taking over the draft and kind of like being the, you know, dictator-y type of guy, you know, whatever.
It just happens because they wanted it, we kept losing so things had to change, so I just took more responsibility and that's pretty much it.
And then I heard no one say that he feels like you taught them real Dota.
Do you have any idea which one point that you know that he will be referring to?
Is like some hero matchup synergy like a specific moment or do you have no idea?
I mean it's mostly related to like what to control, how to smoke and like it's not like
they don't know how to do these things but there's a best way of doing it, right?
And players themselves don't really have the time to always analyze the best way to do
smokes, the best areas to control this patch or something like that.
And since I have a lot of time in my hands, I will just try to figure out it for them
And there have been like quite a lot of these types of words that we came up with
to associate with the types of plays that we do that they didn't use before.
So he means probably that we have a lot of terms in the game.
So when terms are very simple for the whole team,
everything just moves fast and everybody just understands what to do in the game.
That checks out.
Yeah, super insightful.
Thank you for that, Puppy.
Could you give the headset to Nodis, please?
Yeah, all right.
Congratulations!
Hello?
Hello, notice. How are you feeling, bro?
Oh, I'm feeling really great.
You know, you're the only two-time Dream League winner of this entire year.
What makes you so special?
I don't know.
What do you think you've brought to party vision, that's allowed them to become champions?
I just say them my minds and that's it, you know.
I feel we just play really good individual and if you play really good individual, you play really good like team.
Got a very important question for you, notice.
You obviously are in bootcamp. I know there's another tournament literally right around the corner
And I was curious how you guys gonna celebrate it together tonight if you're gonna celebrate it tonight
Or is it straight back into the Dota for you guys?
I said to Kim, we need to go to bar when we won Dreamleak, but I don't know. Maybe we don't have power now
It was all fun games. Maybe if it wasn't 3-0
No, but you are planning on still celebrating at the bar or at the house potentially?
Can you repeat question?
No, you're still planning on celebrating, maybe at the bar, maybe at the house?
We will decide, I think later a little bit, just to know how everyone feels.
Okay, notice thank you so much for obviously for you and your team, for taking the time to talk to us in this way.
It's very much appreciated and we love to see you guys being so happy and cheerful at the end of game as well and playing that
Fandominal best of five congratulations again
Thank you
Thank you. Have a great night. Bye
And that is it is such a cool best of five that they played as well. I mean that is just
We don't get those five best five very often. I feel no we don't that was that was really awesome
You could hear puppy giving props to you to Aurora
I think that's that's top notch because I do think that they put on a great show and it's not too
To undervalue them because they did adapt very well
They came in the underdogs and they really pushed it to a point
We were not sure it was going to take in in the game five
So massive kudos to them into paravision for putting on a great show. That's that's the kind of dirty you want to see
Yeah, well, I mean both these teams did incredibly well
I think even Aurora when they were like behind and a lot of these games they found moments
You know the K-Ori like Phoenix with the bush wagon like nearly making a comeback on the high ground
It just popped here. I also feel like what's really cool is like Aurora kept growing like even though
You know, you're never gonna grow linearly straight like towards where you want to get some of the drafts
Maybe weren't as ideal as the others
But I think they they kept growing and puppy mentioned it too
They're adapting on as they're going as you're moving forward and that is almost more important than winning a tournament is having that thing
Happening in your team because you know, there's still more tournaments to come and you want to keep growing
You want to keep getting better and they're doing it even in a grand final. That's a good sign for what's to come
Don't keep in mind, Dukala said at the end of this finals, you know, they're very tired, this was a very long series.
For Aurora, this was the seventh game they played just now.
Yeah, it's rough. It's rough.
It's rough at the same time. Like, to me, it's about resilience.
And you could even see, like, the way that ParaVision made it through the bracket, it was all two ones, it was not two O's.
Like, the difference between a team that does well and gets like top three, top four,
And does really well in like the group stage and the team that wins the tournament is like the ability to adapt on the fly
Sometimes it's between series and that'll get a team to like top two maybe even top one
But in a tournament like this where you have so many teams playing
So well like within the series you also have to be resilient and it's been a long time since we've seen both teams
Yeah have this level of resilience and it's like it just for me it brings back like early ti
Butterflies where like kind of nobody knew what they were doing in a way
and like that's where the craziness came from but this was just like really high-skilled Dota on all fronts
It really was and they get a lot of points for it as well
Of course, this was the final stop for the EPT
This dream league season 29 a lot of points have been awarded not enough to not tundra down from the first place
But paravision and Aurora coming second and third very well deserved in that top three over the whole season
For Paravision, they've been fairly consistent on being top six in most tournaments, but
now of course the crowning achievement, winning this Dream League.
For Aurora, they are on a steady trajectory upwards, and this season we're riddled with
having to play with stand-ins frequently.
So them being still ending on, even though for them it might not feel this way, but still
ending on a high is super impressive, and I'm sure that they are going to do very, very
well.
And when we're talking about teams doing well, that's all great, but we also have to talk about talent doing well, and some talent did a little bit better than others.
Because we have been predicting, we have been doing the text predictions every day, and basically everybody that said TBD here either chose Aurora or Spirit, but they all failed.
Everybody that's a pair of vision was successful. They get an extra point and let's see what that brings us in the leaderboard
We go across
He can't he can take number one spot this guy. He's the best analyst. He's funny
He was on top almost entire way through. I don't know how he does it
It's like every day was just banging out the correct predictions. Yeah
I saw him in the bathroom, I walked in, he also leaves the door open.
Oh you walked in with him too?
Yeah, and he was copying you.
That's what was happening.
Last thing.
Woo!
It's time to collect your prize of a lacoste latte, so here you are!
Oh it's my prize!
Oh wow.
Oh come on!
What?
Stupid box!
What's he saying, gentlemen?
Stupid box.
I have asked every Swedish person in the studio, what is he saying?
I'm kidding.
He's already said it.
Chocolate.
This person sitting on the couch. Yeah, but she doesn't know guess yet the body. I got the box
I don't want this box, but you didn't it's a keks box. You didn't even get keks. Yeah, I got chocolate
Tell me what the chocolate type is. Oh, okay, it's a crunchy biscoff pieces dine
I think it's pronounced dang, okay, I pronounce it down to at least I'm fine. What is it German?
Wait, is that an Oreo one?
Ikea thing.
You want some?
It's not Ikea.
It's a caramel.
It's not made of butter.
This is a Swedish.
It doesn't mean it's Ikea, huh?
No, the maribou is Swedish.
Time is not Ikea either.
Well, in the Netherlands, you can only find it in Ikea.
Don't bring that near me.
I mean, this box we're burning.
I don't want to have it.
We're fitting to the cost.
There is a chance it's not actually ours.
Well, if it is ours, we're burning it.
It's not flammable. It's throw it in the dumpster. I don't care
Congratulations on your this fuckless. Thank you on the chocolate. It's chocolate is goaded 2,000 calories. That's right here
No, that's I'm gonna give the other ones to the cost. What do you mean other ones?
Like I'm gonna give him two and I'll keep one cuz I'm a nice guy which one will you keep?
I'll keep Oreo cuz that's a good boy. I didn't check who won from you and Neil
You lost back to our girl. Yeah, there was a bad day long and it there was a bad day for me
It's because
You're free to catch the chocolate think it's
Will you say some some words about how this dream league was for you as we have come to the final part of the show
Oh, is this it so I can just hold up the show
Don't zoom on me at the end say some nice words shout out to Gabe Newell
Thank you so much for creating this wonderful video game Biscoff chocolate get it in your nearby grocery store today
Ikea
Yet the boy yeah
That was great sir. I mean this is like I hope we stay on this
I hope we have the same meta of these like 60 plus minute games
I'm not sleeping, but probably wouldn't be doing that in the first place
So I like I like to see these long dota matches where there's craziness
It feels like the Harold pubs, which I enjoy quite a lot. It was fun
How about you Quinn?
I had a great time. It was a really fun tournament.
I just like being here, like hang out with everybody.
All the time, that's awesome.
It was a really, really good time. I'm gonna have some of this chocolate.
Yeah, you can go.
Yeah, it was just a treat.
And, uh...
Amen, Brother Bear.
I can't open this dog-gone chocolate.
I didn't mean that chocolate. I'm sorry.
I'll open it for you.
Are you okay?
No, Aiden!
I'm great, yeah, yeah. I'm peeking.
I've never felt better in my entire life.
Can I kill him?
You guys are weird.
You guys are weird.
No, I honestly had a great time too. It's been really fun being a Dream League.
There were some parts that are better than the others.
Okay.
Like the whole Gothenburg craze, not a big fan of obviously Stockholm Rain Supreme.
And everybody from Gothenburg are noobs.
Especially the people playing the sound from production.
from production but thank you very much
there's one person in production that is
from GoT but apparently fuck that guy
yeah no that one guy
that one guy
I'm beating with him but everybody else
dreams he's great in the other time
the one person yeah
keep it up
what the fuck dude
it's like a wreck though but I don't have
anyway that's fine I had a great
time was a good format
good tournament good people here good production
Keep it up. You got the body. Yeah
Very good back to you cheaper
As the production everyone
Some long day
I think a lot of the madness that has happened
With with production things is because of the long games and I think that's only a good thing
So yeah, that that has made it be the actual end of the show because we obviously are very great
to be here and to witness all of this from this perspective, but we're also very grateful for all of you guys tuning in and supporting all the teams and potentially us even as well.
And so I want to thank you guys on behalf of everyone like this, but everyone here in the studio and maybe people that have already left as well from the morning crew because I was with a very long day.
Thank you. And one is still once more congratulated ParaVision, absolute banger of a tournament for them.
And with my final words, I would love to wish all teams at EWC and in the qualifiers a very much good luck,
as it will be a tough road that's for sure an entertaining one as well. We'll see you soon.
I
With inspiration, don't run to the end of the journey
And we hang on, we know all that we are one
That's why we believe it's time for us, time for us
How long have we been fostering?
How long have we been dreaming?
How long have we been trying to find a way?
We can never stop believing
How long have we been?
This is the end
The end, the endless hills keeping us down
Now it's over, the end will fall again
What it's taking every day, can you still be here?
Come on, find a way out, time to rest, time to rest
How long can I hold on to something so stupid?
How long can I hold on to anything real?
How long can I hold on to something so stupid?
When I'm in there, I'm always done with it
We never set apart, we're all around us breaking
Oh, God, it's me.
What we need is what we have.
What we have is all that matters.
It's me.
We've been coming down the days, been riding through the waves
We'll take it to the grave, be the unstoppable
I'm coming up, I'm coming up, unstoppable
We're going down slow
I'm coming up, I'm coming up, unstoppable
Try to drop, try to drop

I've waited such a long time
And I just can't believe
This good love I had
Down again
Don't want it to stop
When you know you've got a good thing
That makes me feel fine
Wherever it leads me, you know it's all fine
I never thought that this could sweep me off the ground
I just want it to stop when it's feeling good
Whenever you're around, my heart begins to pound
Oh, I know you'll take it slow, no way to stop this feeling
For every single day, whenever you're around
In this place, in this space, where I'll be waiting for you
And I just can't believe it's New York I have now
Yeah, I don't want it to stop when you know you've got a good thing
That makes me feel fine
Wherever it leads me, you know it's all right
I never thought that this could sweep me off the ground
I don't want it to stop
No, I don't want it to stop

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah
I've been waiting a long time, just longing for a plan from you, yeah
A chance to look in those big, downed eyes, no telling what my heart could do, yeah
And when we met, I sure knew
It felt as good as it could be
In that moment though, it felt so good
I wondered why you'd notice me
If you gave me just a little time
It would sure ease my troubled mind
Don't tell me
Don't tell me that you don't feel the same inside
Don't tell me, don't tell me how These are feelings that I ought to hide
I don't care where you came from Just tell me where you wanna go
If there's a chance to be together, that's all I really need to know.
Is it real or maybe it's me that keeps me thinking of you?
If you've got time to walk with me, I'll show you how my heart is true.
And here I stand, waiting for you
Tell me baby, what I gotta do
Don't tell me, don't tell me
That you don't feel the same inside
Don't tell me, don't tell me who
These are feelings that I ought to hide
Don't tell me, don't tell me
That you don't feel the same inside
Don't tell me, don't tell me
These are feelings that are hard to hide
I've been waiting a long time just longing for a plan from you
Yeah, a chance to look in those big brown eyes.
No telling what my heart could do.
Hey, when we met, I sure knew it felt as good as it could be.
In that moment though, it felt so good.
I wonder why you noticed me.
Ooh, if you gave me just a little time, take what's yours,
ease my torment, mind.
Don't tell me, don't tell me that you don't feel the same inside.
Don't tell me, don't tell me these are feelings that I ought to hide.
I don't care where you came from
Just tell me where you want to go
If there's a chance to be together
That's all I really need to know
Is it real or maybe a lie
That keeps me thinking of you
If you've got time to walk with me, I'll show you how my heart is true.
And here I stand, waiting for you, till we play back what I gotta do.
Don't tell me, don't tell me, that you don't feel the same inside.
Don't tell me, don't tell me who
These are feelings that I ought to hide
Don't tell me, don't tell me
That you don't feel the same inside
Don't tell me, don't tell me who
These are feelings that I ought to hide

And I just can't believe
In this blue love I had round again
Don't want it to stop
When you know you've got a good thing
That makes me feel fine
Ooh, wherever it leads me, you know it's no fine.
I never thought that this could sweep me up and ground me on.
I don't want it to stop when it's feeling just good.
Whenever you're around, my heart begins to pound
Oh, I know you take it slow, no way to stop the speed
But every single day, whenever you're around
In this place, there's a space where I'll be waiting for you
And I just can't believe it, there's no love I have around again
