The International 5

Yeah, they had the game in their hand and Silent just had to go full 322 over there, not once, not twice, but THREE EFFING TIMES...
And they were doing so well....
I guess kudos for LGD? Their calm plays allow the PL to reign over and turn the situations around, still, great game for an opening match I think.
Now for the game number 2!

Yeeeah that was an unfortunate case ofwhat over-extension and poor itemisation does for your hopes in game. Shame, cos Empire played really well for most of the match.

I also love how Valve's production Value for the event managed to both impress me and make me laugh at the same time.

Game 2, tell me about 322 now, nice manfighting Butterfly Anti-Mage.

I think that in game 2 Silent really paid for his mistakes in the game 1!
I was expecting him to do the exact same thing (since the early death on him was another case of over-aggresive blink), but he did an amazingly good job this game!
Now for the last game!!

That was just relative timing windows and proper itemisation. Like the Butterfly won the game for Empire, since it made AM un-touchable most of the time. Neither the RP or the Static Storm actually did that much compared to the Butterfly.

Also I have to just point out; How amazing was the chain stun at bottom racks that killed the AM? Like that was perfect chain-stunning, to the degree it was frankly impressive.

Game 3 is gonna be siiiick. Hopefully.

I was also really impressed about the chain stun over there!
I mean, Silent could've run away before the disable, but they totally took him off guard, it was amazing!

Oh, also... I think the third game's going to be a stomp lol

game 3: Stomp, stomosmtsptmsotmsptmosmtsp

Dat furion courier snipe...

This game is so painful to watch whilst having favour for C9...

Like uuurgh it's just not nice to watch. Like that Clock getting out with like 20 HP left... Why you do this to me? I just wanted to watch the NoTail Io plays.

EDIT; Like it's not the fact they are losing, and it would actually be easier to watch if they were being completely stomped, it's just; Every fight it's just a little bit out of C9's reach to get something out of it

I hope to god they're not just pausing because of the stream problems. If I fall asleep at work tomorrow I'll get fired. :(
