First Picked by Nirvana.int

I figured out there are some games which although not epic, form the center of discussion among group-mates. In other words, you can classify these games epic just because of the hype they get! Anyways, it's only an idea and I might discontinue posting these but here they are for the time being. :)

Game 1
Both teams had quite aggresive picks so you can expect a game full of action.

Frankly speaking, DDT game-play was a blunder in this match. Misery(Nevermore) used his money to buy an Ogre Axe followed by an Ultimate orb even though he was dying too much. Any escape item would've served him better. Angel(Sand King) wasn't using Shift-Queue to cast epicenter! He missed his ulti or didn't do any damage to opponents a lot of times because of this. Also, Miracle(Mirana) missed quite a number of simple arrows. :( Loda(Night Stalker) however, played a good game and I don't think there was any more he could offer from the hero for his team.

The game was always in hand of Nirvana once Kuroky(Lanaya) got his dagger. Also, that Vengeful pick proved out to be a super boon for Nirvana enabling them to play super aggressive with Rylai and taking out Nevermore before fights. Ducky took a lesson and banned her for the next two games.

Game 2

Well, this game was definitely a better spectate than the first one. The Windrunner pick by Puppey was really nice directly countering the physical damage strategy by Ducky but he somewhat mixed up with the lanes. Merlini(Windrunner) wasn't able to farm up much against a nice KotL played by Ducky which subsequently affected his late game with no high tier item in inventory. Talking about bottom lane, Fear(Nevermore) died 2 times inspite of a nice support by Demon(Earthshaker), thanks to a great Lion by Miracle... a feeder Nevermore early game is not useful mid game where he's actually supposed to shine out. Kuroky on the other hand, played a great Mirana mid well supported by Puppey(Tidehunter) against Loda(Viper) but became vulnerable to ganks after taking out the mid tower early. This was the time when he should've gone ganking rather than sticking to the mid lane and farming. Anyways, time passes by and both Slardar & Viper complete their Vanguardgod. DDT players become unkillable with all the tank and mobility stuff.

There were some good moves in the game. One being Viper using his ulti on ES rather than Windrunner(Blademail) on Scourge top lane. Another was Kuroky dodging Viper's ulti mid lane. Even the Nevermore save from Storm near Sentinel top tower was worth watching. All in all, this game was worth my time. :D

Recommended Game for Lion, Viper
