I had the worst games of my DOTA 2 life today, took a break and went 20 and 4 with Lina. Now all is right in the world.

I definitely saw Sniper picking Ursa skills and thought "welp, at least they've already had fun today."

I haven't watched these in a while, but Brad has gotten much better since the last time I've watched. Props to him.

That was an awesome first game.

That said, I'm pretty sure they'd have lost if Lycan hadn't stopped playing for about 5-10 minutes

Yeah, I never get teams that bitch out their teammates when they're winning. Like, sure, Lycan was apparently fucking off farming forever or something, but the non-Brad team was constantly ahead both on towers and kills, so what do they have to complain about? Maybe I'm missing something, but it sounds like they were complaining about Lycan, you know, being a carry. And Lycan literally was winning them the game by destroying the last few towers.

Then they bitched him out for whatever reason, so he goes AFK, denies Aegis, fucks off in general, and somehow the 4 non-Lycan players were constantly traveling alone and giant surprise they die constantly.

The Lycan could've won that game pretty easily. Nonetheless, it was really satisfying to see them turn it around. Also Refleksy's laugh at "we need constant D" was hilarious.

Haha, yeahhhh...

Honestly, Brad should've picked any of those Ursa skills, since he was gonna have fuck-all mana anyways. Instead he picked a ton of active abilities he was never going to have any chance to use because of his limited mana.

Anyway, that mode is for tryhards who know which abilities are the most completely broken together.

Yeah I didn't get why they bitched about Lycan, he was doing a good job for the majority of the game, and basically won them the game, I'm glad he threw it, fuck that team.
