DuC at the MPLD LAN (01 Aug 09)

Here's a link to double-elim structrue... --> Link <--

Was weird playing on the Stable 6.59d map. :/

This was the 1st LAN where we used ts, and it def helped a ton - even though, as Demon pointed out over and over, the opponents could hear what I was saying (since K4 were sitting right next to me).

Comment:
UBiE drew FB early, with AM and Axe coming to gang bot-lane - thankfully Demon managed to take one down before falling as well. That vs/Husk combo made things difficult for Coco/Puck, esp with UBiE's aggressive play.

Edge was able to farm up nicely against their solo AM, which gave me piece of mind as hell perma broke loose bot-lane. >_<

UBiE's picks failed them in team battles, with Tree ulti'ing during DP's ulti, breaking 'em - which came as no surprise.

Comment:
K4 taking 2nd place at the prev MPLD DotA comp, we went with an aggressive strat, opting to bush a Lycan and having Bane/Necro solo while carrying a naix.

The combo worked out pretty well, with Bane disabling their AOE and Naix/Lycan picking off the rest.

The funny part of this game was that the potm of K4 was sitting right next to me, so hearing him insanely aggro-shouting at his teamies when things were going bad, was something else. X_x >_<

Seeing as K4 was in the finalz last time, this game was disappointing in terms of their "imba" performance. :/

Comment:
lol... This game was a shocker and a half. >_< AT heavily out-picked us and coupled with their imba play-style we got schooled hard. X_x

SK on sooo~ many occasions got away with min HP, which lead to us chasing further then was needed - leading to even more deaths. :/

Early-game, bot had it rough with Pudge nailing some sweet hooks, while cm baited.

Edge hated his Lion with a passion almost all game... lol. >_<

My Bane ulti would last a meer second or two before someone would come and either hook/arrow or disable me in some way. :/ AT made sure to always be spread out, and it worked awesomely for them.

With this win AT were in the finals of the winners-bracket.

Comment:
This was the finals of the loser-bracket.

K4 played a mean SF in the prev game leading up to this one so I had a feeling they would SF again, but this time they opted to lane him instead of solo again. O_o But more shocking than that was that they went with 1st pick SF, allowing us to snatch Necro ASAP. The panda pick came as a shocker too, esp with Necro already chosen by us.

K4 started the draft and went with riki as their last pick, which gave us the option to BH.

I finally got to jam Axe this tourney, was great fun but there were a ton of screw ups too (miss-calls, fail blinks, etc). >_< That Vanguard was def FTW as more then once I got away with like 50+ HP after ganging mid-game.

With both Silencer and WL perma putting their damage-over-time spells on Axe, I hardly got the chance to use my blink (I def should have positioned myself better), but K4 made sure not to cluster which made initiating a lil tricky.

Their characters did not work well together at all, as show by the hero k/d.

Am glad to say though that nod was a lot calmer this game, and took the lose with his chin held high - getting up to shake hands and congratulating us on the win.

ggwp!

Comment:
1st off, I think there's something wrong with the Replay Analyser - I highly doubt Edge was level 9 at the end of the game.

AT chose Chen pretty early on, which had us going for Bambi as a sort of counter. >_> <_< Shau wasn't happy at all with that pick. >_<

Clock totally owned all game, with his Power Cog / Battery Assault combo.

Chen spent a lot of time hanging around the bushes waiting to gang top, but with our ward giving us vision of him the entire time he didn't get a proper gang in - also Drow went for a rush MoM so she didn't have Ice Arrows (spoke to AT after the game and Birdwin said that he went for stats early on in order to tank us, which worked I guess as he didn't die early-game. >_<

Demon managed to get a BKB but that wasn't gonna stop their DPS, and DP fell pretty fast too. Drow went for a Lothars allowing her to stealth-gang/initiate gangs for AT.

The end score was a lot better than the 1st game we played against them, but it was still a pretty one-sided game.

ggwp!

We def have a long ways to go before giving AT a run for their munny, on that note... since there were only 10 teams participating (and not 12), the admin decided on winner-takes-all, leaving DuC and K4 empty handed. X_x That was pretty kak. :/

Comment:
Was totally surprised, and disappointed, that MILF got kicked out by UBiE in the losers-bracket - as we know MILF from the Mayhem LAN and they pretty decent.

This game was rather challenging, with Omni doing a lot of damage to DuC early/mid-game. The final score doesn't do justice to the fight MILF gave us.

In hind-sight, this game was way more difficult than the finalz of the losers-bracket against K4.

With MILF choosing Wl, we had potm and riki on purge-stick which was FTW!

Visage used his Revenants to perma scout our bushes, rather then to increase his army size, which hindered MILF in team battles I reckon.

Comment:
We played this one after the tourney ended, hence the new map version. Trent sub'd for MILF as they were a man down.

DuC went with a 'so, what heroez do you guyz wanna play'-draft. >_<

Early-game was weird top-lane, with cm opting to gang other lanes, leaving DK on his own for extended periods of time. This allowed us to keep DK from creeping up.

Sniper, as expected from MILF, was wp'd.

Mid/Late-game was fail for MILF, with DK doing his own thing while we tt'd/rax'd - after the game we spoke to Trent and he even told us that he carried on farming while we were rax'ing, cause of that early-game incident of cm perma not helping him. O_o That's just how Trent rolls it seems. lol >_<

Added double-elim structure in 1st post.

Link to double-elim structure for ease... --> Link <--

Structure is a bit wrong as we played MILF 1st and then played BOT gaming, then played K4,

so i think this is quite out of date

Hmmm... This is what Diacide had to say...

I lost some information from the comp, but I think I got the matches, winners and brackets mostly right. Please let me know if you guys spot a incorrect winner or wrong matchup:

Since all of DuC's were correct, there was nothing for me to bring up.
