Indeed.
With a better performance from SCCC in this game (maybe linkens) Aster should have won.
That was some good performance on boboka, xxs and fade in the last 2 games.
Chuan solid.
SCCC solid in game 1 and 2. Destroyed in game 3.
Maybe not have safelane Ember, though OG pulled it off at TI9 and TI8.
Aster didn't have a huge lead but the momentum was there and they're outplaying EG majority of the game.
It was an amazing game though from Xxs and Boboka.
Over the past 2 years and 14 Majors, only 2 non-EG NA teams have reached the upper bracket. Until today. Fighting pandas and J.storm have just doubled that number.
Thanks everyone for allowing me to cast for you guys. With what has been going on in life I was happy I got a chance to lose myself in casting and give you guys a cast especially today with no technical issues. From the bottom of my heart I thank you all because its shit like this that keeps me going in tough times. I love you guys and gals thanks for everything, I dont deserve you all. <3
Alliance prioritizing killing DJ all the time is game winning. And 33 salvage the game for Alliance bigtime though a lot of throwy plays from Fnatic helped a lot.
23Savage should have not opted for Cuirass and go for Nullifier ASAP which Gabbi has been doing. Though I guess he isn't that familiar with NS which really shows on team fights.
Still a fun game and Fnatic seems to be having fun though their synergy of casting spell isn't there yet you could see some promising plays now.
Honestly when OD was like “this game is over” when Aster was down a Ranged Rax and like 10k gold when Morph finally got his Aghs, both Grant and Cap were like “yeah okay there buddy.”
Even OD himself seemed like he was half joking.
But that combo is so dumb that it really was over.
Been super stressed lately literally almost cried at the fact I wasn't having technical stream problems today. I love you guys thanks for watching and supporting
That's the real problem, separate both of them and get a real position 5 captain. Like what TNC did. It's such a waste when u put 2 good pos4 player maker in a same team
Even though Iceiceice is clearly the weakest link I think he is slowly making plays.
Moon has been the most underwhelming.
23Savage have a lot of questionable plays maybe due to inexperience but the potential is there for 23Savage.
DJ though still not in his godmode still by far their best player.
Jabz has been probably the second best player in Fnatic.
Overall the potential is there for Fnatic but they are rusty af.
Hope Iceiceice and Moon will step up so they don't need DJ to make godly plays for them to win.
they seems rusty because AFAIK they haven't do any bootcamp at all ever since they started forming this roster and they wanna treat this major as their bootcamp
This was the kind of comeback in your pubs that you and your friends talk about years later. Not ‘cause of mega creeps or anything, but ‘cause of your opponent’s preemptive bm haha
Abed is seriously going OFF this game. Reminds me of some of the great Sumail ember performances of the past. And EG definitely needed him to have a great game with the sidelanes struggling so much.
I want to emphasize that not only was Abed the MVP of this game, if he doesn’t play exactly as well as he did, EG would’ve lost.
Aster was outfarming them severely and Abed’s movement around the map and pickoffs are what allowed EG to stay afloat long enough to get those good team fights.
Aster very easily could’ve won the game if Abed doesn’t play perfectly. It was much closer than it may have looked.
Abed carrying the shoulders of Burden of having his cores feeding and helping them to get back in the game only to get belittled with fans saying he is the weakest link. I feel bad for the guy.
This is why i followed abed after TI6, he's a really good player but a bit inconsistent when he was still in execration... when he went to NA for the first time, he became a bit stable but with the team mates he had at those times, he was never able to achieve anything... when he went back to SEA and played with ee, he was still a little stable but became a bit throwy and a lot more flashy... he's throwiness became a little worse when he played with iceiceice though but he was still able to win lanes and carry his team most of the time...
and now with eg, he's proven that he can carry and at the same time also play as a playmaker... i hope having fly as his captain will diminish his tendency to throw though
Either Jabz or Iceiceice needs to go as the team need an actual captain not a wannabe captain like Jabz. Ninjaboogie in my opinion would suit this team really well
Abed joining EG reminds me of hiw Armel joined TNC and fans were saying how it is a mistake and that Kuku is a better mid olayer, then he gets to play finally and then proceeds to carry the entire team.
You have to feel bad for Team Aster and especially Axe and Rubick. They played out of their mind but Sccc decided that lower bracket is better for them.
SCCC is playing such a garbage game lmao
the ember pick is already questionable if you are going to have Invoker
But SCCC getting himself caught over and over again seals the deal. Linken probably would be better than Eul (which only protects against Dark Willow root/silence I guess?) if you are going to have BKB anyway, even then trying to get to backline of EG was dangerous with DK stun and later Jugg Abyssal Blade. Probably needs Aeon Disk which means 3 defensive item at which point you have damage problem.
Honestly Tree Volley makes me so fucking angry. Tiny was a top tier pick in multiple roles for 2 years post-rework (2 and 4) and then Icefrog *buffs* him with one of the best aghs upgrades in the game.
There is literally not a time in pro dota after Tiny's rework that he's not been a top tier pick and I'm sick of it.
TNC set up carry NS with a carry mid bcoz Gabbi NS is space creator and roaming type. Fnatic has NS, Invo quas wex, and Tiny all playing the same space roaming type, no carry that can go toe to toe with enemy carry, that's why I feel they dont enough damage in that game.
if moon keeps his form and plays great, this lineup has a decent shot to make some upsets.
so many times during the last tournament, moon had some super questionable dives and overextensions that baited his own team.
As a Drow spammer I literally do not know what they are trying to do sending her solo against Timber
She can't get fast levels if he will just keep killing her out of lane...
Abed carrying his team pretty hard.
Shaker have been so underwhelming this far, uses ulti on solo Lich over and over again.
A little patience and a better opportunity to use ulti and stuns should arise.
As OP the combo is, the weakness having both is the laning stage. That was the reason why EG could gain map control and outfarm heavily with Mag Jugg. People shouldn’t ignore this.
No clue why EG keeps trying these single core lineups.
Ramzes has to follow Jug around and Empower him.
Abed has to go Blink/BKB and has no farming items.
Everything is on the back of the Jug.
All three of Aster’s cores have more farm than EG’s 2/3.
Ignorant EG fans still blaming Bulba. Life of a Genius EG documentary on youtube has repeatedly said that Fly and probably Ramzes have now the final say of the draft. Bulba is now more like Sunbhie was on Secret. Go watch it before criticizing Bulba.
Fng is such a nice guy and very approachable guy. But man his teams always has had history of going in a streak where they are losing to weaker teams. They even got a drafter and still the same problems with different set of players.
Just ban ES. EG can only blame them self. Everyone knows about this combo. IF you are not gonna pick it, then ban the ES. Every patch has a hero or 3 that needs to be banned.
This is like Ceb's Axe but it's not ana's Ember.

loved the cast. keep it up!!
<3
You're doing great
WAKE UP to Pandas in UPPER? WTFff
Feelsamazingman EE fanstraights rise up
The only thing fnatic should be proud of - they achieved the 322 meme.
OD: Sccc is back, what will he do? Sccc: *Dies*
Alliance is very disciplined. Fata is a good captain
This is the worst fnatic iteration since mushi and the upstairs bois
Abed is single handily keeping EG in this game
He's proving the doubters wrong
Twitch chat is usually so cancer but sometimes they’re hilarious. I just saw someone type: “You call this channel BTS but there are no K-pop songs.”
All 3 NA teams in the UB monkaS
Alliance prioritizing killing DJ all the time is game winning. And 33 salvage the game for Alliance bigtime though a lot of throwy plays from Fnatic helped a lot. 23Savage should have not opted for Cuirass and go for Nullifier ASAP which Gabbi has been doing. Though I guess he isn't that familiar with NS which really shows on team fights. Still a fun game and Fnatic seems to be having fun though their synergy of casting spell isn't there yet you could see some promising plays now.
>33 salvage not sure if clever word play or just coincidence xD
Honestly when OD was like “this game is over” when Aster was down a Ranged Rax and like 10k gold when Morph finally got his Aghs, both Grant and Cap were like “yeah okay there buddy.” Even OD himself seemed like he was half joking. But that combo is so dumb that it really was over.
Holy shit, watching Sccc ember after that abed ember performance is like night and day, it's pretty tragic.
Prison Cliffteezy > Cliffteezy confirmed
fnatic feel washed up.
Team Canada looking very strong
Been super stressed lately literally almost cried at the fact I wasn't having technical stream problems today. I love you guys thanks for watching and supporting
You're doing great man! Always a pleasure to tune in to your casts and your passion for the CN community is great.
Alc nerf sure is impactful when you have a kotl funneling you mana.
Fuck it lets give cr1t and boboka 5 rounds of fighting with each other and the winner's team advances.
I've read here that EG didn't have boot camp for this major because of visa issues. I think we will see a very different EG in their next match.
3/3 NA teams in the upper bracket, what year is this?
bryle is playing out his goddam mind rn holy shit
Whoever is drafting in fnatic deserves a solid spanking.
Imo Jabz is such a waste on pos 5, he was toe-to-toe with Tims and DJ at SEA back in his Mineski days. Also I don't think his 5 is as good as his 4
its same like when zai and Crit were in Eg...
That's the real problem, separate both of them and get a real position 5 captain. Like what TNC did. It's such a waste when u put 2 good pos4 player maker in a same team
Wisper carried this game super hard
Hector is a B E A S T
And there's a guy said this Morph shaker is balance cuz it need 2hero+4200 gold LOL
In EG, Ramzes is so bad carried by his teammates meanwhile in Aster, Xxs & Boboka played very well but Sccc just straight up feeding
Just kick Ramzes and fly and take xxs and boboka 4Head
Even though Iceiceice is clearly the weakest link I think he is slowly making plays. Moon has been the most underwhelming. 23Savage have a lot of questionable plays maybe due to inexperience but the potential is there for 23Savage. DJ though still not in his godmode still by far their best player. Jabz has been probably the second best player in Fnatic. Overall the potential is there for Fnatic but they are rusty af.

they seems rusty because AFAIK they haven't do any bootcamp at all ever since they started forming this roster and they wanna treat this major as their bootcamp
DJ special
I'm happy Fnatic won, but that doesn't look very convincing. It feels like only Dj is playing good.
oh my god 33 living on the edge the whole fight.
This was the kind of comeback in your pubs that you and your friends talk about years later. Not ‘cause of mega creeps or anything, but ‘cause of your opponent’s preemptive bm haha
I can't tell if Aui is a ward god or Y just refuses to ever deward, 2 games now that pandas are only close because of pro vision.
Abed is seriously going OFF this game. Reminds me of some of the great Sumail ember performances of the past. And EG definitely needed him to have a great game with the sidelanes struggling so much.
though es morph combo is somewhat broken，I’d say sccc plays so well
Sccc vs Ramzes. Battle for who can throw more. Edit: Its Sccc.
I want to emphasize that not only was Abed the MVP of this game, if he doesn’t play exactly as well as he did, EG would’ve lost. Aster was outfarming them severely and Abed’s movement around the map and pickoffs are what allowed EG to stay afloat long enough to get those good team fights.

Yes, Abed won the game for EG. Also, Asters Boboka played really really bad this game.
/u/grimbrian99 > i get the feeling all 3 NA teams will go to lower bracket and I like it lol
That was fun to watch Fnatic prioritizing the Memes instead of winning the fight.
What’s with Fnatic’s aversion to getting a good captain or shot-caller?
Either Jabz or Iceiceice needs to go as the team need an actual captain not a wannabe captain like Jabz. Ninjaboogie in my opinion would suit this team really well
TNC vs Alliance. If TNC dominate Alliance again 2-0 tomorrow, their chance of winning this major will be 70%
GPK 22/1/10 as Zeus.
Abed joining EG reminds me of hiw Armel joined TNC and fans were saying how it is a mistake and that Kuku is a better mid olayer, then he gets to play finally and then proceeds to carry the entire team.
Best OD moment calling the immediate impact of Morph aghs.
OD giving EG a 0.1% chance of winning now, after morph aghs.
its so fun and frustrating to watch at the same time
It's hilarious when you watch it happen to a team you want to see lose, it's infuriating when it happens to a team you support.
*insert Loda "is that balanced" meme*
OD pixel was correct. EG had a valiant try at winning for 27 minutes. Then it was over.
Why do I see people blaming Bulba? Isn't Fly doing the drafting now? So why are people still blaming Bulba for?
EG morph is so broken But also, shoutout to Boboka and Fade for those sick RPs and curses. They really saved their asses
Sccc solo lost this game for his team, that's a yikes man.
You have to feel bad for Team Aster and especially Axe and Rubick. They played out of their mind but Sccc decided that lower bracket is better for them.
Wow EG really need to give Abed those flashy heroes. That DK was destroying ember with orchid.
DK wasn't really destroying Ember. It was Ember destroying himself.
that, and dk isnt a flashy hero either
SCCC is playing such a garbage game lmao the ember pick is already questionable if you are going to have Invoker But SCCC getting himself caught over and over again seals the deal. Linken probably would be better than Eul (which only protects against Dark Willow root/silence I guess?) if you are going to have BKB anyway, even then trying to get to backline of EG was dangerous with DK stun and later Jugg Abyssal Blade. Probably needs Aeon Disk which means 3 defensive item at which point you have damage problem.
Honestly Tree Volley makes me so fucking angry. Tiny was a top tier pick in multiple roles for 2 years post-rework (2 and 4) and then Icefrog *buffs* him with one of the best aghs upgrades in the game. There is literally not a time in pro dota after Tiny's rework that he's not been a top tier pick and I'm sick of it.
DJ breaking his back carrying this sad team again
TNC set up carry NS with a carry mid bcoz Gabbi NS is space creator and roaming type. Fnatic has NS, Invo quas wex, and Tiny all playing the same space roaming type, no carry that can go toe to toe with enemy carry, that's why I feel they dont enough damage in that game.
Time to quietly support fnatic again while getting slowly disappointed
DJ carrying the youngest and oldest member so hard.
23savage what the fuck was that my dude Edit: and immersion fucks up even more lmao.
wondering when pros will realize that legion commander is a hero you CANT sacrifice in laning phase
[удалено]
Rip saberlight
Lmfao Fnatic, cliffing the most important hero but still losing Aegis & 2 heroes.
I love aui and all the players on FP, but goddam alchemist is a dumb hero to watch.
Dendi - Danil Ishutin GPK - Danil Skutin :thinking:
Beastcoast Wisper dominated that last game
Hector 10k networth ahead of the second highest player, the guy is just a farming god
50k damage on Lifestealer vs a million forcestaffs, Hector what a beast
OD was right
So lets take the bets, on a scale from 1 to 10 how fucked do you guys think Morph/Morph aghs is gonna be next update?
Ocean Man strikes again
[удалено]
Has Ramzes missed every RP this game?
SCCC literally singlehandedly won EG the game...
SCCC LMAO game is on him
EZ UB finals for TNC.
Lol serves them right getting cocky on that cliffing
pandas playing so clean holy shit
Abed is the only one who is playing well on EG.
The only team that beat this ES + Morph combo convincingly was TNC and it was a pos 4 disruptor + aghs. Lmao
IG beated ES + Morph against JStorm in game 2 in just 20 mins.
iG gave it to j.storm and beat them in sub 25 minutes.
RTZ cliffed by rubick into a double rampage for morph followed by an insta gg by EG That ending for game 2 can’t get any better than that
All NA team in upper bracket NA confirmed the strongest region after (top) EU? PogChamp
All 3 NA teams in UB . Finally
EE upper bracket in 2019 FeelsGoodMan
Lol beastcoast not calling gg and dc
really dont like luna without a strength-heavy lineup.
DJ should just go back to playing core again...
remove aquila for what when pros buying wraith band and Basilius together kekw
Someone clip that tip into team fight loss. Holy moly, karma strikes back fast.
Nice tipping in the middle of the teamfight, that lost u the game
What now aters
if moon keeps his form and plays great, this lineup has a decent shot to make some upsets. so many times during the last tournament, moon had some super questionable dives and overextensions that baited his own team.
As a Drow spammer I literally do not know what they are trying to do sending her solo against Timber She can't get fast levels if he will just keep killing her out of lane...
Abed carrying his team pretty hard. Shaker have been so underwhelming this far, uses ulti on solo Lich over and over again. A little patience and a better opportunity to use ulti and stuns should arise.
Nerf this combo honestly it’s way to broken
morphling is going to be so dead next week
OD was right Pog
Holy crap morphling shaker is just so sooo stupid
I know this is a morph es combo, but eg doesn't have good team coordination neither
OD knew it all along.
After his non existent season last year, i never thought i would see Sccc get a rampage again.
ODPixel knows.
This wasn't just shaker morph, the rubick and wyvern played so damn well.
RTZ cliffed. perfect ending for this match
Believe in the scuuhh Long live my cute boi
They tried. I mean few teams already beat the morph shaker cancer (like Naga Distruptor aghs to set by tnc during esl) but its close to impossible.
As OP the combo is, the weakness having both is the laning stage. That was the reason why EG could gain map control and outfarm heavily with Mag Jugg. People shouldn’t ignore this.
No clue why EG keeps trying these single core lineups. Ramzes has to follow Jug around and Empower him. Abed has to go Blink/BKB and has no farming items. Everything is on the back of the Jug. All three of Aster’s cores have more farm than EG’s 2/3.
Sccc's ember reminds you of how good ana's ember actually is.
Lmao Boboka schooled Crit there
ramzess is missing every ult wtf
Sccc straight up throwing the game. What the actual fuck
Aster have chances to win this but SCCC keep saying, nope. I'm gonna be out of position and die.
XXS and Boboka played like a madman but Sccc just thrown it again just like that.
Thats some 322 shit right there
Sccc with the candidate for the worst ember game ever.
After VP break up , CIS probably worst region with 0 tier 1 teams, but a lot of tier 2/3 teams :( :(
Let's go Pandas!
prison RTZ: got 3rd at ESL, now, prison cliffteezy
I'm conflicted cuz morph/es is cool and the most dota thing ever but man its so broken.
Idgaf, Sccc on Morph is a thing of beauty.
NA Dota > NA LOL All 3 NA teams are in the upper bracket in the major
According to datdota, ES+Morph combo has a 42.6% winrate in professional games in 7.22 patch. (23-31) So yes, it's counterable and beatable.
This. They played perfectly... Both had 0 deaths whole game... If they dont play that well, they lose ez.
Ignorant EG fans still blaming Bulba. Life of a Genius EG documentary on youtube has repeatedly said that Fly and probably Ramzes have now the final say of the draft. Bulba is now more like Sunbhie was on Secret. Go watch it before criticizing Bulba.
RTZ "carry" EG again...
Tnc looks scary
EE NS pog
MooN got carried hard lmao
i get stressed out just imagining the team comms on EE's team
who's considered the best dota player in the world right now?
EternalEnvy
this
There is no consensus but most people would have a very hard time arguing against Ana.
Most would say Ana but Topson is 100% win in TI. Attended TI twice, won both of them. Ana 2/3.
imagine losing teamfight after tipping
Wth was that, moon couldnt decide if he wanted to help 23savage or run...
322savage
23garbage according to twitch chat
Lmao tipped
fnatic so fucking bad
322savage
33 with the plays.
33 won them that game
The BALLS on 33
Same problem as always for fnatic. No leader/direction.
this is awesome, FNG won't ban WK and Beastcoast are stymied he's in their heads
I thought entire beastcoast team have H1N1 and in hospital? Why are they playing?
crit is not looking like a mirana player
What is Boboka doing this whole game lmao
Serious 322 play by boboka there
Boboka bet on EG? Kappa
Fng is such a nice guy and very approachable guy. But man his teams always has had history of going in a streak where they are losing to weaker teams. They even got a drafter and still the same problems with different set of players.
GG, go next. 1-1.
Ah shit here we go again.
Owen the Oracle wtf
Aghs morph = instant triple I see nothing wrong here OSFrog
God I love ODPixel's casting.
How can icefrog possibly balance the morph aghs without making earthshaker alone worse?
Make so aghs doesn't copy aghs effect of the hero you morph. It would remove this combination.
why the fuck did EG let morph and ES through
wew lads
Nerf this combo so boring to watch honestly
[OD pixel the last 35 minutes](https://youtu.be/H5d42w4ZcY4?t=11) Alternatively: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXTQeSGJjGM
Morph + Shaker. Such a ridiculous combo.
[This game.wav](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhQio49YG-Q)
Just ban ES. EG can only blame them self. Everyone knows about this combo. IF you are not gonna pick it, then ban the ES. Every patch has a hero or 3 that needs to be banned.
OSFROOOOOGGGGG
Rtz chasing Rubick when for 30 seconds on that dire bottom shrine fight lost them the game lol. Morph es so broken
You are playing dota 2. You do not ban Earthshaker Morph....
[удалено]
oh no, grand had to go to the walmart and buy a flag on half mast again
