MTF vs IPONAN 2nd game

This game was suppose to be written 3 weeks ago. This was the game 2 between our match at iponan . Were we kind of go there and asks for a game . Enough of this talk .

Here goes ~

Game 2 started . and I didn't get the print screen on the pick and ban phase . So here's the part where i will show you the ban -pick heroes manually. And i kind of explain a little of the heroes use .(even if i really hate explaining) . so here goes .

We were sentinel this time cause we won 1st game which actualy put us from scourge-sentinel . THERE .the enemy got the first pick advantage here . captain still braga *

I kind of forgot the bans so I dont wanna discussed it here anymore *sorry about that .

1st PICKING phase -- (  i dont know if i got the hero sequence right , so bear with me for a while )

1st pick goes to scourge   ~

And pugna was thier first pick. A great pick for picking pugna ,because pugna's ward can really disturb the enemy team especially during clashes , where mass skills where use , and there's where the ward do its tricks. So this is why we should be carefull in clashes *especially when clashes at jungles where juke spots are almost everywhere . So there a great first pick by scourge.

2nd pick goes to sentinel (us) ~

Dk and venge was our pick. Our targer for this pick was really unknown ? . i think it was to counter-push the push by pugna . Dk can be very useful in pushing especially in his lvl 1 dragon . and on clash on his lvl 3 dragon ,which can really hurt. A fast lothars and BkB can make the game in favor to us .Picking venge in this phase was really predictable, venge was used in two other ways : * to make the tri-lane dominte thier lane
* for the roaming phase , where venge's stun can be really useful. So there's our tricky yet unplanned pick .

3rd pick to scourge ~

 I'm not really sure with this heroes. But i know that picking necrolyte was supposedly to anti our Dk. Necrolyte's reaper does a large dmg on Dk( a str hero) because Dk has a large HP which gives reaper deal mass dmg when cast during Dk's survival period . not to mention the stun given by the reaper if it can't kill. and the CM pick here is used to be an aura hero which gives a global mana regen which helps the other heroes cast more spells than usual. So there's the anti pick by scourge.

4th pick back to sentinel (us) ~

Here we picked morphling which was totally unbanned (which was banned at first game) we chose this hero for multi-purposing first was to have a nuke hero at tri-lane *although a POTM would be a much better ban , we chose morphling for that , because his waveform is for two purpose dmg-escape , which is very useful in early-late game . second purpose was to have a carry hero to farm his core - luxury items . rather than Dk , morphling is better go farming than go join clashing in early- mid game . So a Pick to get the game to mid - late game .

*BAN phase (which i totally forgot) sorry about that


2nd PICKING phase -- ( still don't know the sequence , just bear with me )

1st pick in the second phase here goes to the scourge ~

The weaver pick here didn't went to our minds, because they picked weaver on first game , we didn't know they were gonna pick em twice . so there a weaver pick for the scourge which gives them a carry hero that can really hurt , and also a -support hero . This pick was not really according to what we expected.

2nd pick goes to sentinel(us) ~

A sniper pick here was really a disturbed pick for me, cause sniper don't really fit to our team play, because we already picked morphling to do the farming to carry the game to late game *if necessary . So in this state , we must make both morphling and sniper farm their core items , so that during clashes won't be a big problem. So there an utterly odd pick from us.

3rd pick and last pick for the scourge ~

As we all know , when we review all the picks picked by scourge we already knew that the last pick would be a support hero , so we had some kind of theories - it might be a WD or LICH or maybe an OGRE , but we didn't expect this pick. Venomancer is such a lethal support , he's a semi-hitter .which skills are so deadly for the supports. So clashes here is very dangerous , because of  WARD (pugna) and SS (veno) instant kill for supports. An unexpected pick again by the scourge.

4th and last pick for the sentinel(us) ~ 

This phase take a lot of time picking since it was the last pick , and the other thing is that it will be a support hero . Visage came to our mind first since visage is very useful than being a semi-carry hero, his slow and ss can be very useful during ganks , but we came to our last decision picking AA as a support is also useful , nonetheless his SS and first kill hurts you know . so there , we completed the team with an AA .

So there both teams completed the ban / pick phase , thus STARTING the real game instantly.

Rush item buying were done, but our strategy for this game was playing safe, thus not going for the smoke + 5 hero = lvl FB . we came to a plan that they can't get the first blood , wards wasn't planted yet . That makes the enemy so unpredictable to move . And another thing , this bothered me most, cause a 2-1-2 lane was requested .

So there , creeps started spawning on three lanes . thus we move to our lanes . when mid lane creeps started colliding , suddenly two heroes started ganking Dk at mid lane , they were

 that resulted to a first blood by the scourge. Then resulting to that, i started roaming the map , leaving morphling soloing bot against necrolyte, upon leaving Morphling, 3-line was pressuring morphling, and my roaming job was a total mess, setting me into a level stuck and item stuck. Every gank i tried eventually failed. hahahaha. and therefore setting top lane's support .

AA by chum

Upon leaving top lane, sniper is really in a tight spot againts  Weaver. but a succesful gank at mid was made, therefore giving our DK advantage at lane / farming . When top lane's sniper farmed up his lothars, a push was wanted at top lane , therefore taunting heroes to tp to defend thier tower, therefore this happen ~

A triple kill was done by our dead sniper ,but counter killing sniper, ending his Killing Spree streak. But on the otherhand , where bot lane was not on our mind, LACK of roaming on bot , resulting to a pushed tower, but luckily morphling on bot lane  eventhough outlaned, still isn't far on farming, morphling already had his

BOT (boots of travel)

thus , concluded that , TOP and BOT lane was on our side , even killing was on our side. thus the game is on our favor.

*because of this laaaaaaaaaate post, i don't remember some of the moments.

As i remember a clash happened at river bot lane. But only proven that ,we had the game on our hand , making our 

Killing both

Ignoring the ward placed by pugna, we still won the clash, GIVING us the chance to farm items , we needed.

so here, Item check on 30min mark.

braga's DK

 on

yanxki's Morphling

uy's Sniper

 chums' AA

 and my VS

 After sometime , some MANhunt on pugna was done , thus forcing their team to be on there base, and a very shocking item was being seen on pugna, where we saw pugna on his

VANGUARD

that kinda shocked us for a while, then farming was done. thus farming up our hitters their luxury items.

then a split push was done at top lane and bot lane , where we were trying to push.  this happened

After that , a GG was called, thus we won 2-0 Bo3 game. and a 2v2 was being requested by the opposing team , where we strongly disagree. upon hoping to end the game by destroying their Frozen throne. this happened ~

GG :)

MTF vs IPONAN 1st game

I don't know how to start this .. we'll


This was a bet game, somewhere in IPONAN (the hometown of yanxki) so there, we kind of ask a bet game. a 600 set game Bo3 . The enemy kind of agree.. So there , the venue was also at IPONAN . We kinda waited for almost 1-2 hours when the opponents arrived .

When they arrived , some familliar faces came. We thought the contact said that the players would be from kinasanghan , but 2 players were actually from barra , then we thought it would be a hard game for us, so we kind of made the BET gooo to 500 Bo3 , claiming my 20 php ,so that i can pay my rental if we lose.

So there . The enemy agreed , so the game would be @ 500 php Bo3 .
Our captain for this set was James Braga .

I actually didn't get the other 2 enemies' names.  (so sad) 

after that. the game started . PICKS were decided. BANS were decided. all were carefully clicked. avoiding any errors at picks and bans.

heres the ban-pick phase ~   ( i dont need to explain why this and that were BAN/PICK ) :))

After the pick phase . Users and Lanes were discussed . ~

 Medusa - uy , taking top lane

Tiny - braga , taking mid lane

 Maiden - chum , Slardar - yanxki , Earthshaker - me , taking bot ( using 3lane )

After the discussion / argument . Rush items were done . chickens - wards - ironwood were bought  .Our captain decided to do a first blood before the time the creeps will spawn .

Using the ~ 

Smoke of deciet 

Tiny , Slardat , ES , CM went for the smoke , leaving Medusa on her lane
The gank gone fast , going through thier warding spots , trying to kill any support hero. Through the woods, we spot 2 heroes . 

 a Visage and a Sven , suddenly the smoke gone off, only realizing that , there are enemy heroes near. All skills were thrown , leaving sven do only a storm bolt . Unfortunately visage survived due to lack of nuke damage given . ( because everything was thrown on sven ) .

Sven was killed by our Tiny giving him more money to farm his bottle fast .
Our tri-lane then goes back to bot lane . Where our hitter (slardar) can't even get near to hit some creeps , this is because of having a meelee attack. Giving thier tri-lane advantage on creep-killing .

Moments later - middle lane needs some back-up due to meelee attack . againts

Nevermore - a range-nuke hero .

After sometime , a successful gank was done , by a perfect NOVA - BITE combo + AVALANCHE - TOSS combo + FISSURE = fountain :D

that gank gave our tiny more time to farm his dagger more fast. Despite of that , leaving our tri-lane hitter (slardar) got  killed by the enemy tri-lane .

But many wrong moves by the enemy .some of them were , making their nevermore feed our tiny for leveling his dagon  , and leaving our Slardar & Medusa FARM their core items .

at 27 min mark . item check .

 Medusa already got her

 farming his way to MANTA

 Tiny got his 

farming his way on leveling his dagon

 Slardar on his 

farming his way to BKB

 my Earthshaker was on

 farming my way to aghanims

Crystal maiden on her

  making her way to Vladimirs offering to support Slardar with a lifesteal

The game were close to an ending at the 30-35 min mark . when tiny , slardar , CM , ES push mid . letting Medusa farm-push bot lane . When damage has done . rax were destroyed on bot lane undefended .some of us got killed in the clash at mid . but fortunately destroying the tower .

at 40 min mark , damage has done to us . when 4 heroes

 was killed at clash ,

when a TROLLING toss

 was done by tiny throwing my ES to a BKB'ed SF . making my hero useless there , but just



throw a pitiful TOTEM - ECHO combo . damaging only the supports .

But luckily our 

Slardar killed two of thier NEEDED heroes for our revenge >:D

When we all revived , some laning / farm was made . supports tried to farm at jungle , while hitters are on lane 

 Fear kind of came to us when 

Weaver 

 Got his items to 

AND

Shadow fiend 

 Got to

But it's kind of a relief when , All of us got some of our luxury items . done (except for CM)

item check ~

 Medusa

 on her

 Tiny

 on his dagon 5 !~

Slardar

 going for the Assault Cuirras 

 Earthshaker

 on my aghanims 

 Crystal maiden

 on a supporting role - ITEM

Thus with the item , A push was made at top lane. , then a clash was made by the enemy defending the base , then wiping the enemy to a GENOCIDE , without one of us dying .

A GG was called by the enemy ..

The players started to quit , for the second game to begin .

( 25-37 )

A good and well played game by both teams , although opponents are outfarmed
