The nyx seems a bit lost in this draft. He was played middle so he had to perform really well. The only heroes he could kill are Death Prophet, but probably not solo, and Enchantress, but her untouchable makes it hard to Vendetta her. The picks and bans are on point midgame focussed but the nyx is a bit odd for me.

Since if you play nyx mid and he can't snowball, you could just have played him as a support and than a better more solid mid would have been more apropriate.

But those push drafts are really good with enough disable so you probably managed to win. Maybe the void dp combo was har but clinkz and nyx could probably take care of dp.

I'm actually suprised that they let their am solo against your Undying and Beastmaster. They picked Enchantress and Earthshaker knowing that their would be an undying. So if they maybe had 2 good supports picked and created space for am the game could have been more different. But I see you kept that in mind by your banning by banning several strong supports.

So good job

Anyone notice the new comments section?

na easy win for you. nyx has the ability to roam very early where dp doesnt. if you push hard get first item deso on clinkz and watch positioning as you push and maybe vlads on beast before necro you will destroy them in under 20 mins.

Radiant

Dire

Dire

Radiant

1. dire ..( roaming io... wtf lmao)
2. ahhhh honestly i can see the positives but roaming nyx is very weak i would give it to dire purely because they can teamfight better earlier.
3.evens (all depends on how the offlanes go)
4.yuo win offlane just by holding both supps there to halt your ds, witch is better in lane with sven till they hit level 3 on all 3 heroes then let him go stack and babysit mid. i dunno if you can win the first 2-3 teamfights maybe but this one is allabout how well you control the map.
5. lost, purely due to the brood. if she does her job your going to be hard pressed to make anything out of anylanes. glhf

A roaming Io only works if the lane you gank with has killing potential. An example is a Templar Assassin midlane. If the io comes gank that lane the ta can run behind the enely mid and right click with no problems. However it is a Zeus mid who gains barely no advantage from the Io theter gank. So keep in mind that an io needs allies to combine with.

Thank you m8s

1: Radiant had a severe lack of damage, lots of initiation with Axe, io and magnus on top of that. However wk simply doesn't deal enough damage. The team can work, provided that they are allowed to take teamfight after teamfight and win eventually, but you can easily decide to split push instead.
You did well in picking up beastmaster and lycan, who can effectively split push. Zeus can delay pushes very well. And undying makes sure you don't sacrifice too much early game power.

Verdict: Dire wins

2: I'm not sure about the nyx roaming pick. He needs early levels and at least level 6 to start effectively ganking, before that his damage is somewhat lacking, and he also doesn't have a good initiation or movespeed. The dire setup is based on a slow seige on a timer, every time the hero's ults are off cd, they will group up and push. You should have noticed this by the 3Rd pick, when they had wd, dp and beastmaster. Personally I wouldn't have picked slark 4th. While he does well against the 3 heroes mentioned, slark doesn't fare well against deathballs, nor does he fare well in 5v5 teamfights early to midgame. You should have picked a carry that teamfights well, and bonus if it works well with io. Sven is a good choice, but he was banned. CK is another good hero, especially since he too works on a timer based around his ulti. PA would have been great too, becauae just about all Of dire's damage is physical.

Verdict: Dire wins. Try to figure out what kind of strategy the enemy is using, and draft accordingly. Also, roaming Nyx is very greedy and unreliable.

3: the draft is pretty even, who wins depends on how well the lanes go. However, the longer the game goes the more Radiant will have an advantage, because of lone druid and omniknight. That said, if Invoker manages to win mid and safelane doesn't fail, I would put dire in a very favourable position to win.

4: instead of io babysit and wd roam, I would put both of them roaming. Sven does fine against np by himself, and shouldn't need much help unless the safelane is ganked. Mid can go either way, with Invoker having a advantage in a 1v1. Factor in the supports however, and OD can very easily win the lane, because cm and Phoenix aren't very good defensive supports, and offensively wd and io are better in the laning stage. Dark seer won't be having a good time, but he should be fine if he plays carefully. Split pushing is an option for radiant, but you have picked very nice counterpush heroes, plus your teamfight and ganking capabilities are better. Invoker is still scary.

Verdict: Dire wins, but watch out for Invoker.

5: ... Whoever did dire's draft deserves an award. Up till the last pick it lookes like you had a clear advantage, but the broodmother pick totally flipped the tables around. Now, your last pick could have been an aoe to deal with broodmother, but you decided to brute force your way to victory, which is another option. You have a decent chance at victory, because apart from the broodmother there are no threats to your team. They are weak at teamfights, have literally no counterpush and all die easily. Basically the match depends on how well your team does compared to brood.

Verdict: the match heavily favours Radiant, but if brood manages to dominate bot lane, which is very possible, there is nothing your team can do except push faster than him.

Thanks masaaki, though I don't understan why you would put Io roaming since he needs some levels and can do little in ganking pre-level 6. And the Broodmother was the last pick so I hadn't been able to counter it.
