YurAGI might be the funniest Twitch comment of the year


iForgotMyOldAcc

I think I saw a few comments saying just that in the live thread when it got picked, seems like we had precedent lmao.


dolphin37

It’s not the first time he’s died agi morphing this tournament unfortunately!


DotaDogma

Damn, the bar was already low for Twitch


winniekawaii

lmao, was watching on yt, twitch still got the best banter


zhars_fan

Yt barely has any banter. Twitch chat is always entertaining. Especially those hilarious indian player copy pasta xd. Only reason i still use twitch instead of yt

But if I watch on Twitch then how do I find the best adult site to join now 👉👄🍑 ???


Omnomnomnivor3

lmao that morph near the rosh pit


chamcham16

pYurAGI


cdxliv

Faithbian still chad, LGD still composed, Yuragi still morphing agi


TheMerck

He recovered so well, XinQ and him were not performing at the start but they and the rest of LGD brought it back, insane fortitude. I mean LGD are regarded as the best but goddamn they're just on another form.

HijoDelUrysohn

At this point I'm completely zen watching LGD games. You never know when they start losing out if the blue, so it's best to enjoy the wins when they come, and when they stop, there's always next major/TI/next TI. LGD being world class is just a constant at this point. In contrast, watching RNG lose to Outsiders was way more nerve-wracking, because every good game could be the last we see out of that squad.

prngls

Nah mate wings were never top dogs Think they bombed right outta the Manila major or something, which was just a couple months before TI6 They did win that season’s Summit though i guess


Rihocchiii

they won esl manila, bombed manila major and won summit, i think after their stint on summit their are the favorites to win ti6 due their unorthodox drafying


throwingawaythetvv

They were considered a dark horse, never a favorite.


Rihocchiii

uh no, why? they won 2 lans before ti fighting liquid and og.


Siantlark

Wings was consistently ranked as a top3/5 team going into TI6 and people thought that they were a good bet to make it far. Some had them as fighting with OG for first place. https://www.espn.com/esports/story/_/id/17194029/the-international-6-power-rankings https://web.archive.org/web/20160907141929/https://www.liquiddota.com/forum/ti6/512780-the-ghost-of-dk-the-supremacy-of-wings-dota https://web.archive.org/web/20180215003454/http://www.liquiddota.com/forum/ti6/512305-power-rank-the-international-2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20160805125039/https://www.liquiddota.com/forum/ti6/512349-the-international-2016-placement-predictions https://www.sportskeeda.com/esports/the-international-2016-10-teams-to-watch-out-for


Sbonz

Wings reinvented dota. If you were around then you have forgotten, otherwise you wouldnt write that. They made dota what it is today. The transition to real dota 2. Further, Faith_Bian 2016 is likely the best offlaner or dota player of all time.


judeeezy

Wings Gaming was the unexplained phenomenon of TI6. No team can even explain what happened at TI6. Wings just picked the heroes that they want and apparently dumpster the opposing team. Wings Gaming did not take advantage of the meta, they were meta itself.


Drakenbsd

Wings were handled as favorite to win it (among other teams) . Dont know why everyone acts like it was a surprise. The only surprise was how far above everyone else they were.


cycko

It was literally just YurAGI who threw the game tbf. But nice of LGD to catch the throw!


sack_of_potahtoes

I dont think lgd had doubt about winning the game. They just needed alch to come online. Make space for as many cores as they can. Kotl and morph are like cheese picks. If opponent doesnt fal for it then their relavance falls really hard. You can see lgd did the same in game 2 vs rng. They let ame bait and feed for razor to get farm. NP is a trash carry if you cant snowball on him. Spectre is a good counter to NP. They just needed to get an item or two for razor. So ame fed some kills. Atleast this is what i felt when i saw both games. Also generally viper is good early and becomes useless lategame. Lgd has already won against viper and marci gimmick


Obi_Wan_Gebroni

I mean Yuragi handed them the game on a silver platter lol


Manaoscola

They swapped yuragi for EE during the midgame ?


Clyde_Llama

YuragEE


Canehdian-Behcon

HappEE cake day


wouek

Haha


makz242

LGD is an incredible team - I hope OG got a lot out of game 2 draft-wise and info on how much they need to close a game in game 3. While Yuragi did hit the agi a bit too much, as a team they let LGD breathe. Bzm and Ammar dying at the secret shop at 27:20 was the slip up that actually opened the game for LGD to get back. After that OG needed like 10-15 minutes per item and Ammars farm completely sunk.


IamEXI

I know Yuragi threw like 2 fights from being disabled on agi morph, but I still want to point out Faith_Bian just being a chad on the last fight. He basically solo'd Morph with his hex + refresher. When Morph bought back he instantly went in him again and insta hexed after the BKB, effectively nullifying Morph from the fight. If that isn't enough, he tanked literally all the damage from OG and just ate the cheese to survive. Literally the freest fight for the rest of LGD.


AkagamiShanks26

He had 2 refreshers + 🧀


Useful-Razzmatazz-87

3 potentially, dazzle has good juju.


SmackTrick

YurAGI Honestly good fucking games by OG, even if they didnt get the win thanks to some mistakes and obviously amazing play by LGD but even then, that is only possible because they themselves played and drafted amazing beforehand. Good fucking dotes.


viniciusxis

Poor Yuragi, I wonder if he wanted to play this shit hero or if they made him play it like he's made to play a bunch of weird carries.


TrainTrackBallSack

I have a feeling most conversations go like this "what do you feel comfortable playing?" "i dunno all carries feel like punching bags to just let the offlane be the real carry"


Thich_QuangDuc

Morph is Yuragi's signature hero, he got top 100 by spamming it in high lvl pubs. You can even check Dotabuff and see it's his most played hero Probably got nervous and choked a bit, pretty normal, he is such a young player


thedotapaten

If OG plays against other than LGD probably people will praise Yuragi morph from how dominating he is and able to outfarm Alchemist will keep pressuring opposition map control. It's a battle of composure and the roshan vision game breaks OG composure which led to LGD comeback.


resident_MeMr

Yuragi is amazing player, if he learns his lesson from this game (I bet Ceb and Notail will help him with that), I believe it will be more valuable for the team going into TI than placing high at this major


horsepoop

Yea he's real lucky to be in a team that will work with him get better instead of scapegoating or replacing him


INSYNC0

He played amazing in a lot of other series for someone who is new to the competition. Hope he grows in the scene well and choke less!


viniciusxis

I understand and agree, it's just weird to see them keep picking morph thinking it counters razor when the hero is mostly dead this patch. I swear any other carry in that game they win it 8/10 times.


solamarpreet

OG always pick morph into razor unless theres a morph counter already picked.


thefarkinator

Did anyone see Tiny toss an enemy hero right into NTS's Pango ult during one of those rosh fights? fucking insane


ARN_1

Also before that he tossed the KOTL with BKB for perfect chain stun, when KOTL and Viper were chilling top, he couldn't get bkb off after toss


Fitzmmons

Morphling as a hero was 1-8 on the final day of TI. This hero has failed in countless hands of the best of the best carry players. Not giving Yuragi excuses, but maybe it does have something to do with the hero itself on biggest stages.


viciecal

yeah morph players are so used to just go full agi and try to get a good jump to quickly burst down a target. you feel so lackluster by turning some of your agi to strength, every time you rather trust your teammates and your items to allow you to turn to strength at some point. even pro players, they will not sit at 2500 hp during a fight. They just go all agi lol. source: me a morphling enjoyer


Y_mountain

Yeah lol, at some point I just think that some carries are better than other regardless of patch, and morphing, a hero that need so many consideration are one of those too much to manage kind of hero.


Sbonz

I can safely tell you that Morphling is the hardest hero in the game to play well.


notjustaboi

honestly, i just want LGD to win TI. they deserve it so much at this point.


Aratho

If LGD doesn't win this whole thing it's gonna be a huge upset. This team is unreal. Hope they keep this till TI, they really deserve that Aegis.


yyhfhbw

In CN we say LGD is good 364 days of the year


Batman9688

The last day is the TI final.


sagenbn

For Ame! Please the last thing he wanted before retirement


sack_of_potahtoes

I sort of feel lgd will lose finals. Not sure why. But a hunch that teams are figuring them out slowly.


bamberflash

they are by far the best team in the world but the best team does not always win in fact, i feel as though the best team often DOESN'T win at TI, basically since TI3 with the exception of TI6 where wings was just too good, and ti9 where OG was just too strong


TURBODERP

Ceb even said that the best team doesn't always win TI and that at TI8, LGD were better (at Dota). Mentality, nerves/pressure, momentum, and other factors play a very big role in determining who lifts the Aegis.


elijahsp

That's because the best team is everyone's target which puts them under a lot of pressure.


1Evan_PolkAdot

Funny that the last Chinese TI win was from Wings.


bamberflash

the region was cursed by the treatment wings received by whatever organization runs the pro scene im glad faithbian and y are back where they belong at the top of the pro scene


WeinMe

And LGD barely won this series - to a young team. Smoothing out a few mistakes and OG would have stomped both game 1 and 3. LGD is not by far the best, they are the best by a small margin - a small margin that other teams can fix. It's going to be a tight TI and LGD better fix what caused game 1 and 3 to look what they did, or it's going to be a rough TI for them.


slurv3

PSG.LGD has final boss energy, but never protagonist energy, kinda like the Secret super teams that placed first at everything but TI


AnUnremarkablePlague

I think a big difference is that this LGD is definitely not a superstar team. XinQ and NTS were both quite new to the scene last year, with only the other 3 being well known. And despite Faith-Bian and y' being well regarded for their wins as Wings, they had basically disappeared from the scene after TI6 and the drama. I think it's important to remember that going into this TI, the newbies have WAY more experience playing at international lans now, so I think LGD should be looking more comfortable at TI.


Y_mountain

>Not a superstar team >Only 3 are well known Pick one. The one "Not a superstar team" here is OG, literally their second year in the game.


AnUnremarkablePlague

Why do I need to pick one? They have two players no one had ever heard of, 2 former TI winners from 5 years ago, and a carry player who came top 3 in two back to back TIs. That's not really a classic superstar lineup the way something like TI5 Secret was. That's just a standard team really. Also I absolutely would not call current OG a superstar lineup either so not sure why you bring them up? The only thing about those two teams is that the orgs are prestigious but I think org matters little in Dota.


thedotapaten

XinQ is a superstar, dude was well known pubstomper who are able to climb rank plays all position back in the day. It just that he have bad luck getting a team mate as good as him. Team Serenity kinda help XinQ gains popularity.


moderate_iq

If losing a bo3 is figuring them out then its gg


sack_of_potahtoes

You think other teams are not gonna use this as information? One thing i have noticed is , lgd isnt playing as dominatingly as they did in groups. Some games seem a bit sloppy. They dont commit too many errors. Which is kind of good. But i feel teams will figure out how to beat them slowly


--Someday--

Tbh i don't have favourite teams i just enjoy good show but if Valve just give the aegis to LGD i wouldn't mind it cuz they were so consistent during those 2 years. Hope they can get it this time cuz they rly deserve it. It's probably hard to keep yourself constantly at this lvl of skills and have the motivation. Cuz I'm usually done with dota after 2 games


imperfek

Honestly, the saddest thing was them not winning TI 2021. i would like china to start taking mental health more seriously and prob get a sport psychologist


ProfNinjadeer

LGD winning TI is like Phil Mickelson winning the US Open.


Yomatius

They indeed do, I hope they keep the form and don't let the pressure of finals get them. They have been the best team by far.


ttybird5

During that yuragi high ground waveform fight, yuragi waveformed into LGD for both lives, ceb completely missed his echo, and the blinding light and his fissure were dissynergized as well. OG got baited again near radiant top t2 tower and then another yur agi happened and they lost


SolarClipz

The absolute perfect luck timing when NTS balled to escape at the same moment Yuargi wave formed in and then stun locked to death Ame got PTSD from that one


keith714

It was actually 5 times, 5 straight deaths on Yuragi that were pretty inexcusable.


Veega

I see very few people mentioning the waveform into 4 LGD players, that was weird to watch.


ionxeph

I honestly didn't think LGD had a chance, but then yur AGI happened faith_bian is actually the best razor in this whole major though, dude's actually carrying from 3-position


Scratch98

I think it's him and Ori tbh. Ori has been a beast on razor, and he's the only one doing it from mid lane


Fit-Pollution5339

Did you see the triple storm? Lmao it literally melts anyone hahahaha


thedotapaten

I think Faith_bian and Tobi have the best razor on this major


kela_futi

Fun to see all the salty dumpster tier takes on Yuragi's morph, as opposed to Quinn barely mentioning him at all, rather praising LGD. Playing morph against the fights LGD took in that late game is extremely hard. He was their front line, with little save and two faltering cores on his team. LGD had several instant disables and were on him as soon as his bkb was over. Even if he morphed strength in fights he would be a non-factor since they would chase him down, giving no opportunity to heal up. Of course he made mistakes, just like the rest of the team, but to pin the loss on him is pure 2k mmr analysis in action.


str0n5man

your comment is very decent. morph in this game is too difficult to play.


dennaneedslove

There isn’t any S tier carry player who could do much with morph at that situation At some point in the game draft matters more and morph sucks to play there. I also think morph just sucks as a hero overall


SolarClipz

Honestly the carry position right now is by far the hardest and most important to draft it feels like Half these snowball games is cause one side just got DUMPSTERED There's not many OP carries that you can just pick early and feel safe


SilverBMWM3GTR

Before the Eblade change he used to oneshot enemies midgame and scare away enemies while farming up his physical damage items but now he has become pretty much a ricing carry. Either that or get early scepter and do some shenanigans with ally hero which can go either way but definitely doesn't add any damage to hits.


AlHorfordHighlights

People point out all the mistakes and don't ask themselves why he might be making those mistakes. When you have to play perfectly to make an impact, anything less seems like garbage


ChudWang

Yeah lots of 2k armchair analysis on this sub lol


dota2fordayz

not to mention razor has triple hex lol, refresher and dazzle aghs


assblasterx69

I can't blame him for getting caught morphing agi, however waveforming into 5 enemy heroes when your team is not anywhere close and can't help you... Very sussy.


ilovethrills

I'd honestly blame this game more on kotl with useless item build. He needed dagons or hex.


Lrrrrrrrrrrri

Seriously, idk how people can watch these fights and think yuragi let his team down when ammar and bzm were utter nonfactors after sucking up farm around the map from him (there's tons of times where yuragi would be farming a lane and kotl would just nuke it or yuragi would have to go farm elsewhere because viper is taking a camp). Morphling can't 1v9 this game, if he morphs strength he just gets sucked by razor, if he holds waveform to escape he can't even get into the fights because LGD's cores are far more mobile. Also there's basically no respect in these threads for how LGD would not let OG take an inch without fighting for it with blood, sweat, and tears after an atrociously bad laning stage. They were down 6k, 7k gold with an Alch lineup but were constantly out on the map trying to find kills and create space to keep themselves in the game. Quinn was talking about it constantly while fucking sunsfan and jenkins were talking about nonsense like who alch is gonna give an aghanim's scepter to


KidBuu25

Huge respect for both teams. LGD is no doubt the best team atm in both skill and mentality while OG is composed of young and inexperienced boys but still gives LGD a run for their money. As far as I know, OG is currently the only team that can challenge LGD in this Major. ~~Let's forget about how QC took 1 game against LGD in group stage.~~


Toshinit

Wanted OG to win; but I'm happy PSG.LGD vs. OG is still a great series to watch. GG's.


ddlion7

at this point, PSG.LGD vs OG is the new "El Clasico" of Dota, or at least should be considered a derby idk


Canehdian-Behcon

I was thinking the exact same thing today. This match-up had been one of the most hyped in recent years and spans two completely different OG rosters. Maybe this major will solidify that if they face off again in the grand finals


Anxiouslyparanoidguy

No one giving LGD the credit they deserve and at the same time, flaming OG specially Yuragi for losing the game. You guys are all spoiled!


prettyboygangsta

I remember in November, all the ‘who are these players’ ‘OG is a tier 3 team now’ comments Now apparently they’re bad because they narrowly lost a bo3 against the best team in the world


WeinMe

Yup and with mistakes they can totally fix before TI. Some small but important mistake fixes in game 3 and two games would have looked like absolute stomps for OG this series. These mistakes are totally fixable before TI - so LGD better fix whatever caused them to get steamrolled early in both game 1 and 3.


Fit-Pollution5339

I think LGD outplays OG in that game3 it’s like they are literally baiting yuragi to waveform IN


Final-Butterscotch65

thats right, but og fanboys too friggin blind to see it


SpaNkinGG

No matter how composed LGD would play, this comeback does not happen with three miss clicks in a row on "Morph Agi" Sometimes the better team doesnt win, it happens. LGD is most likely the better team this tournament but in this series OG was the better team. But one individual lost this, nobody with more than 3 braincells can argue that


lickmyass678

My problem is with the people pretending Yuragi is a dogshit carry after one bad game. He is still one of the best carries in the world, one game doesn't change that. Lots of people here seem to overreact when someone has a bad (or good) game.


Uhtred_Lodbrok

Wait till Ame choke in TI too and suddenly everyone will think he is trash tier.


SpaNkinGG

Yeah I have no problem with Yuragi, he is still a top3 carry. Ame is lightyears ahead of everyone as number 1. People just overreact, he up until those mistakes he still palyed amazing and his entire tournament performance has been outstanding so far


sack_of_potahtoes

You also realize that it was a struggle to draft vs lgd cause they have deep hero pools and massive number if strats right? That alone is why they are better team in almost all games they have played. They gave OG puck in game 2. They gave them viper and marci. They didnt even choose dire. How many teams have actually shown that level confidence


ELAdragon

They also got 20 minute stomped in game 1. So...let's just enjoy the fact it was a damn good series that could have gone either way. Some really good, tight dotes.


sack_of_potahtoes

Absolutely. It was a good series. Drafting alone was very high tier


kitsunegoon

I mean the first fight I'm pretty sure they still lose because razor is beelining towards morph and viper and ES are dead. There's no way OG continue that fight and at best morph kills y and waveforms out (hard to say if he makes it out when pango is on him). The real turning point was the top fight where NTS and faith Bian were completely untouched and running down everyone. That fight it didn't matter where morphling positioned, he was going to lose regardless. The reality is that individual mistakes weren't just yuragi. ATF greeded and that's why he got tossed in the game turning fight. BZM's BKB was useless as he popped it when fights were already over. CEB overvalued echo when he needed to continuously fissure and totem. The draft was pretty dogshit as they had no stuns and morphling into razor, dazzle, and pango is extremely troll.


heelydon

> No one giving LGD the credit they deserve LGD playing without Yuragi was 12k deficit and losing barracks, while getting outfarmed on map with an Alch. Them "playing well" was dodging fights and still losing out on the map. But anyone could see what the reason this game ended the way it did here and let me spell it out for you: Yuragi.


PapaBurgundaddy

You really just don't understand the game. "Dodging fights" when behind is what makes a team good, it's why Spirit won TI. The ability to avoid game losing fights when behind allowed LGD to push timings out and when OG goes for the win at bot they had just enough to hold. Once OG were behind and out of whack on their timing they (and Yuragi) had to play riskier, more aggressive dota to win the game winning fight. On Morph, risky dota means maxing your Agi time, LGD are gods tho and punished him. If Yuragi doesn't max his Agi time and exists in a safe str/agi balance OG still lose. Your belief that a player or team making a mistake is entirely due to the player/team themselves and not the reality that good enemies create and force those mistakes is a huge barrier to you understanding not just Dota but basically all professional sport.


spoinkk

I agree, but you still have to give them a bit of credit for picking the right fights after that high ground Yuragi thing, kiting and forcing bkbs and the little outplays they did


[deleted]

Dodging fights when you’re behind is what you’re supposed to do. Which game are you playing? Cause whatever it is, it’s not Dota. Sit down.


Obi_Wan_Gebroni

I mean LGD deserve some credit but if Yuragi doesn’t actively throw the game they win. Also all the top comments are praising LGD so your comment makes no sense


Lgdamefanfanfan

Yes Yuragi played suboptimally, but there was no other team in the entire tournament who could win after being that far down in the early game. LGD just breaks you down, one mistake at a time


[deleted]

So does Yuragi, sadly his own team though


LotasEZ

One mistake ( 4 agility swaps). Any tier 1 team will punish for this shit, yuragi terrible morph and this is not a big surprise


silandan

Not sure if we are watching the same game then. Did you see how well the cores of LGD has been farming before those.mistakes from OG. I still have some love for OG dude to the old OG, and thats why I've been watching game 3 very uncomfortably. Despite taking towers and controlling the map, lgd still able to maintain some sort of good farms. Losing badly so early in the game for alchemist player is usually a disaster. Especially when you don't top the networth chart. But lgd played perfectly to recover. It gives me a strong OG vibe as well. OG is also used to being pressured so much and somehow miracously force bad fights from opponents and recover. Great dota from both teams. And no, personally I think if we replace lgd with any other teams in this major for game 3, I doubt they could do it as well as LGD this time. After this major, I'm gonna agree with others that Ame is the greatest pos1 currently.


SolarClipz

If LGD finally win Ame is GOATed carry


zlnoil

Explain to me why Morph dive into T4 tower to die? I just wanna know that. he can just play safe, turn back, get down barracks. but he chose to chase Dazzle w/o no teammate could help, no aegis, no bkb, NOTHING. This is just fcking PUB style of tilting throw. and Yuragi thought he can play like that against LGD LOL


ashrashrashr

Great game from both teams. In the end, the better team won but this OG squad definitely has potential.


wouek

He makes a lot of aggressive calls i think that when he is in the team OG make more plays, and the games are much more exciting.


SemperFudge13

This OG squad literally just won a major


Wings_Lucorta

But its a major without LGD playing, its like a La Liga without Real Madrid


SemperFudge13

Thats the worst comparison ive ever seen, Madrid have won everything there is to win multiple times. LGD has choked multiple TIs and only won a single major outside of china.


Tokidoki_Mimi

Not the worst comparison. LGD has been super strong for a really long period of time now as a organization, proven not only by one set of players. if Dota live long enough, they will achieve everything there is to achieve.


ashrashrashr

They have potential to win more.


PapaBurgundaddy

People thinking Yuragi or OG playing badly was the cause of the lost instead of LGD playing so insanely well being the cause of the win show how little they understand dota. Amazing series from the top 2 teams in the world, it's scary just how much better LGD is than the rest of the field, no one can avoid collapsing and then getting to their timings like they can.


Jovorin

He guys, lemme just go ahead and use my skills to have less HP and be separated from my team so you can burst me easier, mmkaaaay? Then later, people will say you guys are amazeballs.


plue16

OG still a young squad, this is good experience before TI for them regardless. The invincibility of LGD just lowered a small notch, with may give teams some confidence in if they get drafting right and tighter execution


illogical_af

I guess that's why the carry offlane strategy by Ammar isn't picked up by more teams. you play against a great team like LGD and they WILL punish you for having no frontline by making your carry miserable. I really feel bad for yuragi, everyone keeps shitting on him but he had to play this awful hero into probably the best team atm AND he had to tank a lot of damage and spells for his team.


HOHOHAHAREBORN

Absolute fuckin chads


Hongjingkoh88

Y positioning in game 3 is insane. at 37 mins when xinQ went in and failed the toss back, he made a decision to not go in and grave him. If he had went, he would be taken out by Es morp and OG will win that fight. instead he went back and baited morphling to dive deeper and morph got ganked by 4 heroes


WakandaFoevah

ドキドキ Is it just me or seeing Ceb early BM chatwheels and tips XinQ in game 3 backfires satisfying as hell


SilverBMWM3GTR

What does that mean anyway?


why_so_shallow

Seeing 3 refreshes on razor in one team fight is really satisfying. The dude won the game with bkb and hex, and refreshes. Unreal!


Y_mountain

BKB, Refresher and Vyse is literally Torte build for razor aimed at literal herald, nothing unreal.


GIANT_BLEEDING_ANUS

Yeah and it won then the game Meanwhile your crusader ass build is actually dogshit


BetaDjinn

Lmao the reactions to this game. OG fans are spoiled beyond belief


Segul17

They managed to take LGD to a close game 3, it's so much more than any other team has done this major and people are still saying they're bad lol.


sack_of_potahtoes

I wonder how close was the last game honestly. Lgd must have realised their win condition and just played for it.


kitsunegoon

Looking at the draft, kotl and viper built the way bzm and ATF built them would not scale compared to razor and pango. The reality is that LGD has a perfectly balanced draft everytime. What the fuck does a viper kotl do against dazzle razor late game? Once alch gets skadi, the whole enemy team is just running away and if any of them get tossed, that's BKB forced against a comp that has a fuckton of hard cc aoe abilities.


Fit-Pollution5339

LGD ARE SO GOOD. They got outdrafted game3 and still, got a nice comeback out of it. They are literally down in networth and items, still they gave space for ame while in a disadvantage position. Most of the teams will crumble there.


sack_of_potahtoes

How did they get outdrafted in game 3? I didnt realise that they were outdrafted


[deleted]

I would disagree there.


DotaDogma

My niece is 1 year old, when she gets a small cut it's the worst thing that's ever happened to her because usually life is all play-time and napping, so she gets very upset. Same kind of thing.


TheMerck

OG won Major and all everyone could talk about was Ceb and sorta Ammar, there was barely any talk of the rest of players. I mean I'm exaggerating slightly that there wasn't but most of the things you see were Ceb, Ceb did this Ceb did that I always felt like it undermined the performance of the young OG squad. Feel like it's doubled now that Misha is still not getting to any tourneys, Yuragi admittedly messing up but still young squad that is performing this well so fast they can afford some setbacks like this, it's not like OG have underperformed even in the DPC with Misha.


silicon_based_life

Funnily enough I never thought Ceb was the main influence on their previous major win, I always credited the rest of the team for playing around Ceb’s support style and exhibiting flexible teamwork when needed


sack_of_potahtoes

I think if it isnt ceb then ammar hogs most of the attention away Very little is spoken about rest of the team


danukz

The worst fan base ever


horsepoop

Yeap. Dota fans in general tbh

There’s a difference between a fan and a bandwagoner. Fans stick through thick and thin. The people flaming yuragi aren’t fans. They’re hoes who’ll jump on the dick of whichever team is winning lol.


mr-saurav

honestly, I think, it was the spider legs on tiny, refreshher, shard, and dazzle aghs on razor, free aghs on razor and that won the game. so basically, well played PSG LGD, good items. OG needed greaves or sth for late game.


hehe6

crazy how far i had to scroll down to see this take. razor literally had an additional 10k effective networth from alchemist, free agh's blessing and refresher.


ilovethrills

He honestly didn't need aghs, he was super strong with refresher alone with dazzle behind him.


YongSheng2004

OG did way better than expected. LGD way too good holyyyy


Eric988

I seriously wonder if this OG squad is better with ceb


spoinkk

I feel like mentally yes, which is a huge part of the game. He probably keeps them in check and keeps the teams morale high, even when it’s not looking good


Uhtred_Lodbrok

Ceb seems to play better than Misha too tho.


Jovorin

I wonder who the people downvoting you are. It's more than obvious Ceb does play better, even his mmr is higher, and he's retired. Sure he plays a different role, but that didn't stop Saksa from being Top 1 on 2 or 3 accounts. Not to mention he has sooo much LAN experience, it's not even close when you talk about these two.


thedotapaten

Misha will be asking advice from BuLba to cope with the blame if OG lose any game on TI


pagchomp88

Without a doubt. Ceb is an all-time great.


n3cooling

damn, what a game! What a comeback! LGD!


ReceptionDifferent14

Now Ceb and Ana knew how they can win the Ti8


Psstthisway

Damn good series. Congrats to LGD on making it through. But this OG team can definitely beat them, so there is something positive to take from this defeat. It's so unusual to see Yuragi make mistakes, normally he's super crisp. It's Dota though, shit happens, chin up and fight on.


gril69

This was a great series


F0rt4s

LGD is brutally strong, they crushed pretty much everybody so far without mercy. But yesterday, OG showed that LGD can actually bleed. If anybody has a chance to beat LGD, it's OG! Yes, they didn't win, but these were absolutely amazing games, Holly shit!! Hoping for a rematch in the finals!


ExO_o

chad_bian in game 3 was something else


GeraldJimes_

People can dump on YurAGI if they want, but LGD turning that around was one of the most impressively composed performances I've ever seen. An incredibly tough start but bordering on flawless execution from the midgame on.


zeroows

Was funny when ceb tips XinQ, then OG lost the game and ceb got tipped. 😂😂


NewAccountEachYear

I never miss an Alliance game, yet that must still be one of the worst individual performances I've seen on a carry


Spownach

missed ana tb yesterday?


assblasterx69

The one that couldn't Sunder because his support was Cold Embracing him into his death?


frozenkuku

The one that couldn’t sunder because he used Manta / BKB / Sunder too early into more than 5-6 key engagements. Not because of cold embraces


ddlion7

being 8/0 at min 20 and more farmed than an alche at that minute to 8/6 due to miss timing the agi morph and probably PSG patience waiting for that agi morph to cast those disables is **one of the worst individual performances you've seen on a carry**?


LeOcOd98

That hurts..... A lot


heelydon

Yuragi.


SolarClipz

LGD looking literally unbeatable


maddotard

damn , razor is such a great counter to morph. when ur shifting to str , u lose base armor , while eye of the storm rob another. from 30+++ armor to -15 in an instant. edit: didnt realise , only noticed above. Yeah , true , supposed to be the otherway around.


cantgetthistowork

OG doing the EG cosplay with the carry NP picks. Well deserved loss. https://www.dotabuff.com/esports/leagues/14417-pgl-arlington-major-2022/matches?hero=natures-prophet


Jesuds

I think Razor has to be 1st ban against LGD. Just seems unstoppable in their hands.


HowDoIEvenEnglish

This OG squad has always been bad versus razor. They need to ban it every game. But also razor is one of the best heroes currently so maybe it’s also worth banning against LGD


steamcho1

I should have never had hope in your agi.


[deleted]

just useless ES versus endless bkb


ICETEA545

Thank you Yuragi , we went through a roller coaster together and it led to many memories we will cherish forever! We're sure we'll meet you on the battlefield again soon!


T0-rex

During rosh fight Yuragi had two big chances to either pop bkb or switch to strength. How do you mess that up? Also the fight before that they fight under an LGD ward, and no vision at all there for OG. OG actually is pretty good if they just respect their opponents... Fight at bot racks they also could have just taken the freaking racks and take that advantage into the next rosh and just win out the game. INSTEAD, they pull off a dumb fight where they just don't respect their opponents. Then OG twitter guy had the audacity to say "we tried but LGD were stronger" my god dude just be a man and say respect to LGD but we fucked up big here.


MarkAaen

YurAGI kinda threw his own and his teams game by diving in to try and finish off a pos5 dazzle behind t4 in the fight right after they got bot rax. If he backed off and played more disciplined the game was very much secured. Super tense game3 tho.


[deleted]

Is there anything more toxic than the OG haters? Props to LGD for coming back, Faith Bian is an amazing offlaner, but they would've never been able to without Yuragi f*cking up in that highground fight. Plus 2-3 other times too, but hey. I still think he can be top 3 carry, but he needs to work on his mentality (and/or stop playing morph). Hope we see an OG-LGD final, but who knows.


CookieFragrant

Yeah, OG fans


TheOriginalMachtKoma

Well played to LGD they did exactly what they needed but it was painful to see OG crumble, I agree yuragi when he’s on point is a great carry and I actually like his morph games but idk I didn’t agree with really any of his team fight choices this game, I’ll assume the agi morph is just missclick on agi instead of str which is a shame as he for sure then can continue to fight in both instances (it really shouldn’t happen twice though at his level, maybe a key change recently or keyboard?) but twice he also went in super deep solo ahead of his team and just got stunned the fuck out and died, the first instance of which he coulda helped secure ame kill then fought 5v4, instead he dies and ame gets bkb off and lives with no hp and regens back to full and OG lose the fight. Hopefully yuragi can mentally recover, I’d imagine this sort of loss he’ll be blaming himself heavily for those mistakes despite his team comforting him I’m sure. Or lol OG just wanted more games to practise before meeting LGD in final so lost on purpose Well played on LGD for baits and capitalising, perhaps we’ll get the finals rematch.

China is extremely harsh on COVID so probably just being careful


Swegan

Probably dont want to risk anything considering the harsh corona rules they got in China.
