It's live.

Wow, Nv.int really strong. Their bootcamping apparently payed off big time. Missed their yesterday games and I am positively surprised - although this game will remain tough. iG does after all have two carries and Chinese with two carries going into lategame is scary ...

edit: grand game!

It's bloody intense! They should have banned Weaver vs iG, they proved how awesome it was vs Ehome and now weaver carried them hard vs OK.int.

Veyron · 08-18-2011, 01:03 PM

spectre and weaver are two heroes that need banning badly. if you don't ban them aganist the chinese you will regret it : /

lezley · 08-18-2011, 01:04 PM

Holy shit that smoke gang was awesome. Also perfect team play by IG. Incredible game.

Sahis · 08-18-2011, 01:05 PM

european teams should keep weaver permabanned.
unbelieveble job by iG to shutdown that fatvoid in lategame. I was really rooting for nirvana.int. Great game just great.

chronosphere · 08-18-2011, 01:31 PM

void < weaver!?!? crazy game. props to oknirvana though for playing so awesome against the chinese

Lapis Lazuli · 08-18-2011, 01:54 PM

ok.nv.int is the bright side of eu teams. IG was just out of their league though
The rest however, seemed to be a lot less stable than expected

I think the supports from Ok.int got outplayed towards the end, although a lot of it has to do with hero picks (iG had awesome support heroes in BM, Lion, ES, and necro, including the 2 stuns that go through BKB). Every time Paj got an ult off it seemed like he was being disabled somehow because none of the iG supports were being harassed. The clockwerk really needed to split the team fights with well placed cogs so that the faceless could be more isolated from all the iG disablers. Instead it was weaver owning 1v4 while faceless got stunned and kited and by the rest of the iG team.

Really enjoyed this match, these have been two of my favourite teams I honestly thought with IG losing necro so much early and ES and BM not getting any farm that they were done.

To see them spin it around like that and pull a win off was awesome, it proved just how powerful Lion and ES can be together when initiating truely a great game to watch.

GL to IG in the next round we might see a Ehome Vs IG rematch if they both with their next games, would be good to see how IG approached Ehome after losing to them before.

DR-Immortal · 08-19-2011, 12:02 AM

The chinese teams seem to really aim down the farm to win strat while the europeans are quite intent on getting the early ganks and pushes in. I think the perma banning weaver and spectre idea might pay off :P.
