This game was not exactly an Epic Game, but very good and I decided to post it because I already did an analysis for it. :P
The Ganking Singaporeans vs The Regenerating Ukrainians
The Pick Phase
Aeon came for this game with a gank strategy in mind, started off with an aggressive Storm pick. Vengeful is the best first pick I know while Rylai was picked by DTS so her aura wouldn’t help Storm. Aeon resumed their gank strategy with a strong Lion Enigma pick, although I should say picking Enigma when your opponent has Vengeful is a dangerous thing to do. Next, DTS pick Warlock and Necrolyte. Although a Silencer pick hit my mind at that moment because he could’ve nicely dealt with all three casters, Storm, Lion and Enigma. Anyways, Warlock also provides a good counter to Enigma’s Black hole with his massive AoE ulti. Necrolyte on the other hand, was picked to handle Storm so he doesn’t get away at low health. With these picks, DTS confirmed a good push line-up with 2 healers and a mana fountain Ryali. :P Next came a surprise ganking pick by Aeon, the Spectre! :D And with her came the regular tri-laner support Vol’jin. Last pick was Kunkka which nicely fit the DTS line-up although a tank could’ve made their pushing a lot easier imo.
Aeon heroes were very strong late game while on the other hand DTS had a good pushing line-up. This should mean the mid game should belong to DTS shifting its favour towards Aeon as the game progresses. If someone asks me whose line-up was better, I’d say DTS’ because unlike Aeon, they didn’t depend on their carries farming up a lot.
