This Void + Razor is just a better version of the popular Chinese Void + DP variant imo. Razor is innately tankier, has the same push potential with an aghs (on a lower CD), and link + Chrono just guarantees 200 damage from link, minimum.

Awesome duo.

Are there any other purple initiators for Universe? Maybe he's secretly an amazing Enigma.

Getting better with items is also a pretty big upside for razor

The void sand king seems to do better than a wd as well at least until late game with a aghs for wd.

If they have dust, you play it like any offlane would and stay back to collect xp rather than trying to last hit. Honestly if they start buying dust very early, you're pretty fucked as Brood unless they jsut straight up leave the lane. You can get the levels but if they're using the detection, you're really not even gonna be able to do much with the levels until they abandon lane since she is so weak outside of the invis.

Just wait for an opportunity to start making your spider army and push.

That's why she's not an awesome hero. She's as fucked as a Riki would be vs an early gem if they buy dust except dust is a LOT cheaper and doesn't drop.

I kind of felt sorry for them as I'm still in low mmr, and I don't think they knew how I was able to attack them while they were invisible

I think it'd be pretty cool to see a match where everyone starts at Level 25, no items


Speaking of invisibility, does Riki get less effective as you move up the rankings and teams are more adept at dealing with his Ult?

Don't you check this kind of stuff ahead of time?

I'm sure they knew but delays and long games are out of their hands.

They probably should have been safer yes, but something like the first day being two hours late because the government came by and revised their security at the last minute is stuff it's hard to fault them for.

The problem with ESL were the breaks and discussions were too long. I enjoyed them though.

The first day took a a quarter of today's time. EG - Navi should have finished in the first day.

Dota taking too long to finish. Nerf icefrog.

I wonder what even happened there, he started running around after smacking the creeps before attacking Shadow Shaman too.

Pugna either decrepified doom or universe anticipated a decrepify on doom, and so switched targets--probably wanted the Shadow Shaman but just a-clicked or misclicked and ofc Void moves at a billion speed and turnrate now so it's a more noticable slip-up.

his winrate is around 52.14% on very high vs 52.46% on normal according to the last somewhat reliable data we had. so, contrary to popular belief, there is basically no difference between riki's winrate on the highest vs the lowest brackets. people know how to deal with him, at least in theory, as you move up the ladder, but it's not as simple as buying detection, like some of the posts would have you believe

Edit: Chuan during the drafting: he needs to sleep, it is late.

pa4rtz. It is gg.

I like the reaction of Chuan after the insta-pick of Batrider. He was like "I knew it! I told you!".
