Lol :p

Had another game and despite losing it was probably the best, most enjoyable game of dota I have ever had.

We were 34/10 down with 7 towers down to 0 of theirs. I had managed to keep a decent farm as Clinkz so had some gold as did Morph. All of a sudden we both snowballed we destroyed 7 of their towers but we were in such a bad position they just chipped away and bit by bit we couldn't win until they got mega creeps. I could hold or morph could but we couldn't push with one of us missing so we lost :(

Amazing game though we went from 34/10 to 64/52 up at end :p just couldn't recover it fully, everyone both opposition and out team were really chatty and complimentary just a shame things got so bad before we snowballed. Clinkz with orchid is so much fun for ganking :p
 
We should have another OCUK game soon.

Getting to grips with Luna now, so that's Lion and Luna I have under my belt...

Something about Heroes starting with L ...
 
yeah you need the name and password.

When you see me online on steam just ask for it. Anyone else want to join there are 7 more places so just add me on Steam. Link should be below my sig.

You can always buy another ticket if you wanted to be part of more than one league. Think they are like £70p.
 
Is there an OcUK group that play this? I played with a few from here during beta but haven't played since, that was a couple of years ago so I'm quite horrifically out of practice, but looking to get back into it - so if anyone fancies boosting me that would be grand ;)
 
Not sure I'll put any effort into the fantasy league, it takes too much time trying to keep up with the tournament schedules in order to optimise your roster.
 
Spektor Musty Pie is relatively new, teaming up with him may help.

If I'm about add me and I'll drop in and help evey so often, I'm sure others will too.
 
We have 4 in the league right now. Space for another 6! Going to draft it on Sunday. CIA, Rage, Bennosaur and myself.
 
Captains draft.

First pick he takes Shadow Demon after they take Faceless, thought uh oh.

To counter wraith, Sniper, Venom, WD and faceless we have SD, Bane, Bristle, Lina and Husk. We got completely stomped, wasn't even vaguely amusing. That's 3 captain games and been shafted each one with terrible picks.

Back to all pick I think!

What would you have picked? Your team isn't a horrible one, perhaps a lack of reliable stun but I've seen a lot worse. Getting stomped was not just down to the picks.
 
Am I reading the fantasy league stuff correctly? It's based on all pro leagues/tournaments taking place at the moment :(

Can it not be restricted to TI4 only?
 
Yeah your team isn't that bad and Shadow Demon is a far more common first pick than Faceless Void. Newts I don't think you know as much as you think :p 90% of the 'problem' teams you post are execution, not the picks.
 
I don't know loads (I don't even know much) but I know when you are facing a team with shed loads of stun you counter it, pretty basic stuff.

How to counter? I would probably have went shaker/TP who can knock faceless out of his ult. a high agility hero like Clinkz to counter and gank their low hp heroes. Lina wasn't a bad pick as she can knock out their low HP heroes too then maybe a Sven to add some more stun/damage and as support probably Dazzle as he can be useful in the team fights and can countr stun to an extent with his shallow grave. Maybe Lion if you wanted more stun but you would probably have enough. That's my idea, now have fun tearing into me! :p

Also agree getting stomped wasn't just down to picks, Bane was 1/9 and Huskar I'm guessing hasn't played much Huskar as he seemed afraid to commit and didn't like getting low on health. Plus it was my first go on SD but I didn't do too bad, 6/8 but 2 deaths coming when it was over and they were fun killing us in our base.

I'm not going to disagree with what you wrote but I will just add that Shadow Demon is really good for countering Void. As long as you hang back when Void ults you can just disrupt either Void or his victim. Easy combo breaker and probably why the captain first picked it :)
