The International 5

That is just ridiculous. I have time to watch about 2 games, and I can't even watch a single one.

Really ridiculous, yeah, but I think the game's worth it.
I honestly think fear is a much better carry than RTZ, makes me wonder why he didn't play carry but let RTZ took the role instead (I know that he's an all-rounder, but...)
Oh, and also, Universe is just so damn good! The 3-man burrow epicenter was amazing! (even if nobody follows up)

All in all, I think that complexity got outwit? They tried to end the game early but EG managed to hold on like it's their game plan and well... complexity was ****ed after 30 mins mark

Looks like 2-0 for EG, Sumail just cuts scrubs like he is playing his average pub game.

Sumail Ember is just brilliant. Holy **** guys.

And as we are saying this, he went full 322 and fed beyond godlike lol (well, I know that there's no way he could've known about the smoke)

P.S: Any of you ever tried dagger on ember before? Can you explain the pick-up over there please?

Think Complexity lacked conviction in the first game, they went with a push focused strat and then backed off to farm, let EG back in. With that lineup they had to go all in, but they bottled out and tried to play safer.

Second game (assuming it goes how it looks), just shows how good Complexity's potential strat could have been - shut down Sumail, and EG don't look half as scary. Sure, they still have some great players, but with early momentum their mid bullies good players like they're newbs.

This is such a fun game to watch. First I call the Timbersaw pick, and then Sumail gives the best Ember Spirit performance of the tournament thus far.

And you see a lot of Blink Dagger Embers in competitive, or at least common enough for it to be considered not niche. It makes it really hard for you to be locked down, or caught out of position. It also lets you position and play more aggresively.

Like look at the line-up f CoL; Between SoF and Blink, they have nothing that can lock Sumail down. Literally nothing other than like a Dragon Tail stun. Which he can play around given he can position so well with Blink Dagger

If you have so much overfarm, you can afford spending 2k on pure mobility to be nearly immortal(noustriks4u) and still hit like a truck. If Ember is more or less evenly farmed I think it's a waste of money.

Oh I see, thanks dude! Tobi also explains that on ensuing teamfights, saying the main reason that he bought that was to disjoint storm bolt, which actually makes sense when I think about it.

Anyway, I think we should also give more credit to Universe, the Tusk plays were so amazing! Too bad the plays were overshadowed by that ember

For the people that said EG SECRET FINAL FOR SURE, no team is unbeatable.
