Oh, you were the Slardar? I didn't recognize because of that changed name.

Also, it was Fedorable's idea to run a game with mass melees, without Zeus or Silencer to ruin my day, and he seems to have respected me enough to pick Abaddon and SK when I asked him too.

But yes, how does it feel knowing that your team abandoned you alone with an SK in lane to go shut down a CK? (honestly not a bad idea) Muhahahaha.

It was a very nice draft from Fed actually! Totally legit!

But it felt so sad and... fishy

Yeah, the mass str rule actually made me really excited, because it makes heroes like Sand King, Axe, Timber, Phoenix, and Bristle super disproportionately strong without ranged harass and with enemies more likely to bunch together.

I was really worried about the Wraith King pick for a while, since I was like "man, pretty much no strength hero we have can deal with him, he's just so tanky. Except CK, but...." Then suddenly CK.

First game was just the trilane not working. Should have been owning CK and Undying in the very early game, but lack of coordination was a huge fail. Kind of hard to coordinate a team when (as I noticed later) the headphones you just bought have their mic turned upsides down so nobody hears you clearly (kappa).

But seriously skill Leech Seed on treant level 1. Missed first blood because our tree wasn't the Bulbasaur I expected him to be. Also don't sit behind your carry in a trilane, if you're sitting 800 units behind your carry you're literally useless in the lane, you're just leeching XP. Either sit in front of him for zoning and denying or sit on the sides out of vision to set up kills.

Second game...well when you pick Huskar + Oracle in a non tryhard game...not much more to say here. Tried to fight OSFrog with all my strength. I did 4000+ damage to Huskar with my Enchantress every fight. He got Oracle ulted from 1200 range and I dealt another 4K damage to him after that. Then he healed everything back to full. OSFrog used Frog Smash. I cried.

^ I and bunkan were doing nothing the whole game. Like, I started tilting after 20 mins in and bunkan was well afk farming till 36 mins :D

Carry cm won us the game though. Kappa

That trilane was some Xyrus-Level stuff, Omniknight never seems to bring too much to an aggro tri-lane (I know this from personal expirience). That, and you guys had two more or less, defensive supports. Frankly, it was those two rotations by Cuttle to the safelane that won us the game IMO, since it felt like it pretty much nullified those early kills you got on me and it created some much needed space.

Also, it's been too long since I last played CK and that damage spread in the early game makes last hitting a pain. But luckily CK doesn't need too much farm to have an impact.

I'm actually really proud of that first rotation, I bought a smoke at the last 0.3 seconds of teleporting (because I wasn't sure) and got to sneak from behind, I check replay and find there was a ward there.

I recently learned SK has some mad rotation skills when I was playing with Blubbles and I won by controlling the side lanes and hunting the enemy jungle.

Ya, credit where it's due, Cuttle's Sand King wrecked us in that first game XD. That first rotation put him comfortably ahead of our cores and after that dear god.

Bunkan's Crystal Maiden in that second game, though. That was a sight to behold. And to be real for a moment, she is responsible for taking out the first rax and getting creep momentum in our favor. :D

Inhouse actually sounded fun.

If I held an AU/SEA inhouse, who would be interested?

I would be interested in any inhouse except a US one. Would get very high pings there.
