GEST August Quarterfinals in General Discussion
Relentless

    First game is 1st.VN vs MSI-EvoGT.
    http://www.joindota.com/en/livestreams/1250-dotatalk

    1st.VN is running an aggressive global mobility team with NP+Tinker+Wisp backed by Abaddon+Weaver for more aggressive moves

    MSi-EvoGT counters with some wisp killing initiation power and greedy lategame farming Lion+AM safelane, offlane Bat, Chen jungle, and DK mid.

    After 3 pauses spanning 20 min global mobility > greedy farming.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Game 2

    MSI-EvoGt gives up CK+wisp to pick up NP+ OD....very bad drafting in my opinion, especially when they already lost to wisp without a good combo in game 1. But they get Drow for last pick and the caster thinks it was randomed. lol

    1st.VN lanes LD mid against OD with CK+wisp+Lina safelane with DS jungle. Meanwhile MSI has NP trying to disrupting offlane with SK+Drow+SD safelane.

      Just to help him out: Meanwhile Imp went for a Naga+Mirana+Enchantress aggresive trilane with Lone Druid as safe lane carry. They got an advantage after the first blood at the trilane and won a fight at the bottom lane 3v5 thanks to spammability of Rip Tide while LD was farming with his Midas. The game snowballed from there.

        Imp with a nice throw diving to the T4 towers...game 2 is getting interesting again.

        ...but wisp buff to a farmed DK is too OP.
        ------------------------------------------------
        In contrast 1st.VN has been consistently relocating their CK +wisp into deaths. While drow is right clicking her way to victory...most likely.

        Drow is proving to be far more effective at killing off wisp than Lion was...although really I think 1st.VN just made a lot more mistakes this game.

        ...so many feeds by this wisp. He didn't do anything like this game one. Are they paid by the hour and want a game 3?

        Drow images from wall keep pwning MSI lol...but eventually they win.

          And the throw begins.

            THOSE RELOCATES. MY EYES HURT SO HARD.

            Relentless

              I don't what happened there in game 2. Game 1 that same wisp did a nice job controlling teamfights and counter ganking...he only used relocate to reposition in fights or chase heroes down at the end of a fight...but this time it was just one blind port into 4 heroes after another.

              Game 3 MSI is unimpressed with the 1st.VN wisp and gives it to them a 3rd time. Even with the feeds last game I think this is a mistake. The guy is actually quite good at wisp...he just had a terrible game last time...

              SD+SK for MSI again, they seem very comfortable with that combo...and its another Drow game? NO banned...so they fall back on gryo.

              This time its wr, cm, ta, wisp, alch for 1st.VN.

                It's just the confidence it gives you being with CK I guess. The frame of your mind just changes like "ahh dude Wisp CK OP go kill everyone." That's pretty much what happened. Now they picked Wisp again.

                Relentless

                  More CK+Wisp for Dreamz against Puck+LS bomb for Lowyat...an of course the favorite Pinoy counter to LS (Naga) is picked up immediately countered back with Jakiro...this draft is all counter picks lol. I don't think either team actually has a plan.
                  http://www.joindota.com/en/livestreams/2217-beyondthesummittv2

                  Lowyat ends up with jugg and LS on the same team as an Alchemist. Both drafts needs tons of farm.

                  --------------------------------------------------------------
                  Shadow blade wr for 1st.VN, that has to be the first time I've seen that in a pro game.

                    Dendi? Didn't you really witness that?

                    Relentless

                      I guess not. How did it go for him?

                      Big plays in game 3....ultra kill for 1st.VN alch while MSI DK gets a rampage...but loses roshan. So its even.

                        It was a usual Na'Vi stomp. Nothing much to explain. And 1stVN vs MSI have been going very exciting so far. Game has been full of chaotic teamfights and in the end DK actually got a rampage. Been a while since I saw a rampage in a pro game.

                          Yep this game was really worth watching.

                          MSI is rolling with so much momentum off that next teamwipe. I don't think this shadow blade is very good for WR. A fstaff is much more reliable.

                          Hmm, bit of a bump in the road when gyro feeds...1st.VN gets a rax from that but in the end its not enough. MSI is on to the semi-finals.
