Thanks to farizganteng for linking me to this great game. This was a short game but as you’ll see, we get to learn a lot of tactics watching it.
Hard Carry Malaysians vs The Pusher Chinese
The Picks
This game, Aeon was clearly after the farm-2-win strategy with three hard-carries Traxex, Broodmother and Raijin. On the other hand, the first three picks by LGD were the general good heroes while the last two (Rexxar & Chen) focused on pushing as LGD realised that late game could bring them troubles. [One should notice 4 out of 5 Aeon bans consisted of pushers. :P ]
The Lanes
Aeon’s Laning Plan
- Storm is the most popular solo-mid out of the three carries and therefore the mid solo.
- Broodmother has a nice escape mechanism in the form of Web which means less chance to get killed in a gank therefore the most gank-prone (for Scourge) bot lane.
- The rest three, Traxex, Ryali and Tide get the top lane.
Tactic #1
When playing Broodmother, rush to your lane at game start and build a web as soon as possible because the cooldown for Web is high and you’ll need at least two webs to stay invisible throughout the length of your lane.
