The International 5

The second game of Navi vs Fnatic was really good,
the game-changing teamfights!!
But really, both Mushi and Kyxy's buybacks were really darn good!

Now the C9 vs MVP... What? 4 mins in and 3 neutral kills already out of 3 MVP death? LOL

The Secret vs LGD thing;

I am still really divided, because like Secret have shown even in that series they can out-play LGD. Like even in the second game, where they were being wrecked, and so far behind, they brought out big plays to get kills I don't think anyone thought they could get those kills.

It's just... weird. I also kinda think Secret won't read too much into that second game (In the sense they won't let it bother them).

Also in hind-sight; Puppey seemed kinda 5/10 in that series. Like he made some sick graves, but he also messed up a few, and his Enchantress was kinda off point. Like he didn't help s4 at all in mid,and QoP needs it in that match-up. Even if he couldn't threaten kills, he could at least send a Wildwing to harrass.

Dont worry, Sanvitch. Secret will compensate that stomp with their Tusk+ Techies combo against compLexity!

Picked right now in stream three. That's the 3rd T_T combo in the TI5 group stage.

Anybody still up? Secret just won game 1 against compLexity.

A good game, though. Complexity put up a fight against Secret. I still remember redditors ridiculing complexity when they saw their groups.

Also, Shallow Grave OP

edit: Is everyone asleep?

I'm still up, but I watched the Navi vs LGD instead,
great game over there, LGD definitely shows their patience dealing with Navi.
They acknowledge Navi's outstanding teamfight power (and there's this one teamfight where LGD got so outplayed), and decided to beat Navi with total map control (especially with Tiny, Io, and Spirit Breaker for global gank strat).
That game surely shows the potency of xiao8 drafts and the hole left behind by Puppey drafts
Oh and also.... NEVER EVER GIVE XBOCT AXE! HE PLAYS TERRIBLE AS AXE!

Anyway, up for the second game!
P.S: ooohh Sonneiko Earthshaker!

I'm awake, I just don't have a lot of stuff to say about that first game.

Zai Brood should be fun to watch. Especially against a Tusk - Techies. That makes 4 now.

Alright, Zai was crazy that game. And Secret just made their point to their tryhard juniors lol. There was trashtalk too but my stream quality didnt allow me to see it T_T

Sorry Fedorable. RIP NA dream.

It was fun to watch indeed. :p Always those Americans with their overblown expectations and then not being able to handle defeat.

Do you really think they tryharded? The unusual way the lanes went the Secret draft seemed more like something they made up on the spot.

That was a joke
