Map Version : DotA 6.37 5v5 -AP Best of 1 game to win
I think I was the first person to use Visage in competitive play. Back in March, I could only really play two competitive heroes, Lich and QoP, and the only reason why I was considered able to use QoP was because I had to play something that I didn't completely feed at if Lich was taken away from me. Well, I could Silencer and VS too, but they weren't being used by us much in competitive play then.
Well, with that story, let us proceed to our semi-finals game in RGN Season 3 against Rev0.
Our first 3 picks are probably something we won't do against any other clan. Losing the coin toss, we end up with Chen, Zeus, and RK as our first 3 picks, picking them effectively just to deny Rev0 these heroes. It does allow them though, to get Warlock, QoP, and THD. They get Veno on their 4th pick, and after contemplating for a really long time we finally picked Sandking as our fourth choice, seeing AoE as a rather important factor.
Their last pick is unexpected when they pick Slayer. At this point, we start assigning heroes.
Tofu: Ok, ant zeus solo mid.
Ant: No no I can't solo warlock with zeus.
See, I'm mostly fine with Zeus solo in a 2v1 or a 3v1 situation, because I can just use Arc Lightning to farm and what I'm expected to do is simply to not die. In a 1v1 situation though, I don't have that 1v1 experience with Zeus to actually control a strong opponent, not just humji and farm.
Tofu: Okay, ant play RK!
Whole team: NO!
I actually think I can RK pretty fine, except it's probably nowhere near ice or even Tofu or LuX's standard. For the most part my RK is blacklisted because of some hiding incident... which wasn't actually that bad but I won't elaborate on it.
Tofu: Ant can chen right? I mean he can enchantress...
Ice: I can Chen better then him with one hand and one eye (note: THIS IS PROBABLY MORE THAN TRUE)
See, the difference between Ench and Chen is that Ench can just suicide all her creeps and pioritises more farming and surviving than backstabbing (since you can never be ensured to have a good backstabbing creep when you reach a faraway lane to backstab, whereas Chen's creeps are permanent so you can rely on it more).
Tofu: Ant SK is not bad wad...
Ant: ROFL NO (90% Miss Burrowstrike FTW).
I've done some pretty decent Sandkings actually, but seeing as how Sandking is really the hero here that makes or breaks us, I'm not exactly willing to take it up. Add in lack of experience and the fact that my Burrowstrike hitting rate is on-off.
So, left without a choice, the last hero pick goes to me. LoA was a consideration but triple melee isn't desirable. Viper is possible but for one I'm not too confident with it, and Slayer sort of scares us from choosing Viper. The same goes with Bear. Thus, we opt to sacrifice a little bit of lane control in favour of late game power and survivability as well as hero allocability for me and draft Visage.
I solo mid against a Warlock and actually do rather decently. With Gargs up at level 6, I'm farming and denying well enough to drive the Warlock off the lane when he wishes to farm faster. Veno QoP from Rev0 at top lane is however, losing quite badly to SK and Zeus. LuX does amazingly well early game and never loses his momentum throughout the game.
For the most part, LuX and Musica are pwning around the map while ice mixes farming and backstabbing. For the most part he actually takes much less creeps than me, but makes this up by stealing all the hero kills. My lane is always surprisingly deserted. Everytime I go to a lane to farm, it doesn't take more than a few waves before the enemy hero decides to go backstab another lane or find better farming prospects elsewhere.
Tofu's role is more or less bait. I have no idea why, but the means that Rev0 are using to take down Tofu's Zeus are far too extreme for their own good. In a "LuX tells Tofu to go get caught and Tofu miraculously listens" moment, he gets simultaneously BLINKED AT, Infernalled, Ice pathed, Macropyred, Dual Breathed, SSed, Poison Novaed, and finally SONIC WAVED, effectively clumping all the enemy heroes together without their ultimates and blink for LuX to happily blink in with Epicentre and clear them.
This game wasn't really as close as we expected. Rev0 holds out very well, seeing as how ice and me are far too well farmed for them to stop around 40 minutes into the game, and that the QoP, despite having a long time to free farm in her lane, has been caught a lot and thus isn't very well farmed, but once their ultimates are used they have nothing else left to take us down. The Sven more or less finishes all of Rev0's heroes, unfortunately giving no credit to the Visage that is flinging skulls at them and doing most of the damage while the RK walks up to them. I do manage to get one KS from radiance though.
Game doesn't end that quickly, but it ends convincingly enough with pretty much no chance for Rev0 to have won. A short writeup since I spent most of the game farming empty lanes against no one so I'm sort of blur as to what happened around the map.
Well, replays should be released anyway for anyone interested to watch. If anything, take a look at the replay of the quarter finals against Etny.
As for the finals game though, I'll cover it tomorrow or something, and hopefully I remember what was going on around the map. It was definitely much more exciting but there isn't a replay, so expect a more detailed writeup. I won't be as sleepy when I write it either.

On friday, minutes before drafting for our quarter finals match against Etny, Musica comes in and wants to try his radical new draft.
It involves Enigma, Juggernaught, Enchantress, KOTL, and Ogre Magi.
We are like "WTF?!" and so after winning the coin toss, promptly choose Warlock as first pick. LuX, noticing that Musica is about to cry from being rejected or something, proposes that we redraft so that Musica can try his radical new draft. Of course, it isn't nice to redraft, so we give Etny both first pick AND sentinel to make up for it.
Etny picks Viper first, and Musica immediately picks Enigma.
Cue surprised looks, Etny doesn't take too long to draft QoP. Musica goes on with Enchantress.
More surprised looks. Etny is either surprised or happy or scared or something. They take a really long time to pick their next hero, THD. KOTL is immediately, without hesitation, drafted for us.
Cue a really long wait before Etny, in a move we actually anticipated, picks Earthshaker.
Tofu:"Ogre Magi. And write Juggernaught down too as our last pick because they won't pick it."
They pick VS, landing Musica's Enchantress soloing mid against Viper by his request (otherwise it would have been me). LuX's Enigma performs well as usual at top, and Tofu's Juggernaught does surprisingly well, albeit with rather bad early game. My Ogre and ice's KOTL go up against VS and THD at bottom lane, and we get off to a rather bad start as well, but soon proceed to own the lane.
Actually it's more of ice getting everything. Where Ignite and Fireblast are used mostly to harrass heroes, ice kills mostly creeps with illuminate (occasionally hitting heroes too, at least). With the exception of one or two ignite burn kills (as a result of ice probably misestimating illuminate damage), about every kill goes to him.
I would probably be pissed except that this is a rather usual situation with ice. Basically, if he stays in my lane, he farms everything at my expense, which is most of the time, a good thing. Take for example, when Viper takes over THD and proceeds to choing me with VS. Ogre with PB being rather fat, I survive for long enough to take the Viper down by a lot of health with whacks, Fireblast, and Ignite, and distract him for long enough for ice to land an illuminate, and walk up to me before MISSING MEKANSM (albeit partially because I got swapped by the VS). Well, it ends with me dead and ice getting a double kill with barely a nick to his health.
On a KOTL, ice farms radiance (for a hero that should spend most of his time staying at the back and illuminating and not being in the middle attacking?) and we push. Juggernaught and Enigma are very well farmed, but lack of reliable AoE makes it rather difficult to push in, especially since our primary late gamer, our dear beloved Enchantress, is pretty much farming badly.
Ice's mana leak does render the QoP pretty much useless though, and with Skadi and nothing else she really lacks damage output. Viper is also useless because he has no damage output. Juggernaught on the other hand has been really farmed, and so is the KOTL. A good catch at bottom lane after a few failed pushes brings us the win, although perhaps not as convicing a win as the previous two matches.

A good catch at bottom lane after a few failed pushes brings us the win, although perhaps not as convicing a win as the previous two matches.
Continuing on, we fought with Nightmare for our next match. First draft nets us QoP, Viper, LoA, Zeus and Chen, against Medusa, Warlock, Veno, and two more heroes that forgot. I think they had THD and Sandking or something but I forgot.
Mostly the reason I forgot is because the third match was played in only one day and was kind of so funny that I forgot most of what happened in the second match. Will cover that in one post, but NOT TODAY!
Early game is quite bad, with Musica's Viper actually doing rather badly early game (with a chen support too!). Even bottom lane, with LoA and QoP up against Veno and Medusa, isn't exactly doing that well, with them being able to keep us at bay, at least for a while.
Things start to change around level 5 to 6 though. Wandering Chen nets a lot of kills, along with high level shield and the imba irritatingness that is LoA + QoP. Viper actually farms stuff. LuX's Zeus at mid starts to WIN the Warlock.
Musica is mostly farming around the map and not being involved in battles. The next time I see him involved, he has a Reaver and a Relic on him, but the game is pretty much over by then. A lot of catching leaves us very well farmed and having a rather huge level advantage. Even with rather bad early game, we suffer extremely few deaths while netting a huge amount of kills later. With Tofu getting a Skadi, we push fast and get the mid set of Raxes down and a win comes soon.
Cool moment of the game comes when LuX is ganked by a lot of shit, and having a rather low hp build. Looking as if the Zeus would die at any moment, ice heals with Chen's ultimate, and then runs in to heal again with a Meka, as the Zeus is still persued by the Venomancer and taking all that damage from Shadow Strike and Poison Nova. Still being persued, the Venomancer launches a final projectile to finish the Zeus off, but suddenly a LoA teleports in, and shields the Zeus just before the deadly projectile hits, and coils for good measure as well.
It was a rather close save.

RGN season 3 ends quite well, rather convincing wins on all matches. I'll be doing one match per post, because I predict that I won't be able to get all 5 games done in one row. Since there isn't a replay for the finals match though, I probably will try to get it up as soon as possible to avoid forgetting everything.
Game 1 of RGN season 3, we play against Art of Seduction. They first pick, leaving us on the Sentinel with Visage, Beastmaster, Chen, THD, Warlock. They had QoP and Sandking, but I pretty much don't remember anything else they had. In fact the only reason I remember QoP was because she was in my lane, along with Sandking, who in an unforgettable moment, goes back to his base at level 2, returns at level 2 and immediately proceeds to be reduced to 50 HP being attacked by nothing but creeps.
Oh, I think they had Enchantress and Viper too. Can't really remember their last hero. I was rather busy farming neutrals and KSing the occasional last hit. In all honesty, I didn't see most of their heroes because they died too fast or were already dead when I decided to enter battle.
A missed burrowstrike on Musica's chen as he enters to ward creep spawns, followed by quick backup from LuX, leaves first blood on LuX's hands. Miscommunication results in me entering top lane late to solo against QoP and a latecoming Sandking.
I seriously have no idea what's happening around the map, except that the other team is being pwned rather badly. Had rather bad micro that day though. In a rare moment though, I manage to use my gargs to spot a Sandking hiding in the trees, and KS ice by landing a last hit just as his wild axes approach it. Chen comes up soon too for more help, and I just farm.
I don't know what else was happening around the map, but I could tell that we were pretty much winning because when we pushed the other team I think had got around half the XP we had. Not half our levels, but probably close enough. Game ends rather promptly.
Oh right, the opponents had RK too. I digged up this thread with their RK posting some funky stuff. I shall quote in chronological order. The quotes are taken from SEPARATE posts though. I'll say no more and leave them here in their entirety.

Eeeek. Someone is getting angry!

Now, I'm considering my choices here. Flaming back is never an option because no one wins a flame war, and I don't plan to give him one. Of course, I can sit back and simply not do anything but that won't make me that happy, and with quite a few people defending me on the forums (wow), I feel at least a response could be given.
Ant:
"Your discontent is noted. Perhaps I should have changed my behavior and instead of being happy at winning, I should have grieved and mourned for your sad sad loss.
"Nooooo!! Why did I have to kill your hero! Why GOD WHY!!! *sniff* *sniff*""
If you don't already get it, I wasn't exactly trying to be serious in that post =.="
xia0drich:
"fuck you ant"
I could point out that "ant" without the first letter capitalised refers to an animal not a name, but I fail to expose this wordplay as the thread gets, AMAZINGLY, closed by DotaSG mods. I think this is the first time a thread actually has been closed. Wow.

And that's all for the first game, and post-game drama.
