Wew lad can you stop being triggered so hard?
>>145962843
Wings won a lan stomping liquid 3-0 in the finals
if you honestly believe navi deserve the invite more you are the delusional one here
>>145962876

>not betting your hats for literally free money
Do you unironically have autism?
>>145962895
You know that it was a fluke since they haven't replicated their success in any form after it?
It's like Vega winning that Frankfurt (IIRC) vs. Secret and vanishing to months of no results.
Hell the current game is probably the furthest Vega has been since that?
>>145962910
>>145962895
I don't think navi deserve an invite but neither do wings
they were horrible at manila like very very bad
>navi having the unkillable timbersaw while the only reason vega are still in the game is because of slark
totally balanced heroes guys, I swear xd
Fucking retards
>game that would have been over 10 minutes ago is now going to be dragged out another 10-30minutes because of how balanced slark is
>>145962961
amazing fuckoing logic
one team got success but couldnt replicate it
the other team didnt get any success
LETS INVITE THE TEAM THAT DIDNT GET ANY SUCCESS XDDD
why not kaipi over navi?
i mean they didnt win anything too
>>145962991
Come on anon, how much did you put on Vega?
>>145962895
that lan win earned them a manila invite, their performance at manila proved lan win was a fluke and that they don't deserve a TI invite.
What are you on about? the only CN teams who shoudl get invited are LGD and Newbee
>>145962370

I am not salty for the bet at all, I am salty because there's a slark/timbersaw/lifestealer in every fucking game.
>>145963109
Can't wait to see low quality shit dota at TI then when teams that clearly fluked (Vega, Wings) get invited and play like shitters KEKEEE KEEEEK
Lets also invite EG since they won TI
>>145963040
so the conclusion is to invite a team that didnt do anything over a team that actually did something
just fucking listen to yourself for a bit like step back look at the results and ask yourself how retarded could i been to think that wings deserves the invite less than some shit team i think should get it that didnt win anything
there are 8 invites
please tell me 8 teams that deserve it more than a team that won a lan stomping a tier1 team 3-0 in the finals
ill wait
>liquid fans terrified about wings because they revealed that liquid are chokers
lmao

they didn't perform at manila but they have shown potential and the memes would be off the chart
plus I wouldn't be surprised if Valve invited them and VG.R just to keep misery/ddc as players who attended every single TI

He had 75% winrate in the shanghai major, ie before the two major itemization buffs.
In manila though the teams that played him suffered from the reshuffle and fucked about with his winrate.

Slark gets infinite stacks and can kill towers, timber doesn't kill buildings.

Why do people want to make COL happen? Because swindlemelonz is epic? They don't really have a presence in the pro scene. Better invite somebody else.
So the slark buys and consumes a fucking moon shard rather than getting a satanic...
>>145963842
I can't say that with a straight face.
Oh well
>>145963909
timber can kill slark too
If either of them gets perfectly chain disabled :^)

Why would it? It's self damage. Do you think Soul Ring should disable Blink too?
It's so satisfying watching a fat Timbersaw decimate niggas.
Slardar needs like 2 more big items to fight this Slark.
is the hero op or is it the dendi that is op
>>145964010
It should but it doesn't.
What if slark drops the dagger nd gets Daedalus
>>145964065
>see huskar or soulr ing
Both HP removal.
>>145964093
I'll swear is HP removal for Slark.

>>145964139
I think he's just insanely good against their lineup. They have nothing to kill him with.
>>145964139
>is the hero op or is it the dendi that is op
He's a high ability damage core with virtually infinite mana against primarily squishy, underfarmed heroes.
He's just super ahead.

>>145964493
if sladar wasnt fucking stupid and made an AC instead of a useless heart they could have at least taken that tower
>>145964540
Yeah, slark doesn't have any passives that needs to be disabled.
>>145964520
Sure m8 because buying abyssal is so fucking good LOL
optimal item LOL
Puck has a refresher, he has a BM, but he totally needs that abyssal LOL
>Slardar went Silver Edge
Why? Just to stop Slark from getting stacks?
He needs an MKB + AC.
>>145963852

that sure worked well when he had aegis

Well, in the ultralate game I suppose he is. Low BKBs and consistent crazy pure damage
>>145964593
Puck and BM control isn't enough as you can tell from how teamfights have gone for Vega.
Fucking idiot.
Why is everyone so suprised?
Look at vegas draft
Shitty defensive supports that dont do anything
More initiation than you need.
Literally noone but slark deals damage, or built damage items.

Timbersaw is only as strong on the person using him, generally has a higher skill cap to keep him relevant in fights, especially without a blink dagger.
Dendi just played immaculately.
Are the manila major points given out yet or what?
>>145964772
Nah, Timbersaw outcarried the Pos2 to 5 of Vega, then navi won by 5v1
Navi is ________
Dendi raped FN!
>>145964772
Timbersaw, slardar, and bat outcarried slark.
It pains me that because vega played like shit you'll now all go thinking X is OP
Na'vi literally can only beat other CIS scum teams.

the problem is they needed a silver edge to kill timbersaw at this point he was arguably tankier than a six slotted bristle
what went wrong ? I was the slark
I still don't think Timber is OP.
He's either shit or fucking great, and Vega had nothing to do against a Timber past laning stage. What do you expect?
10/10 5th pick Na'vi
>>145964927
