EMS: MYM vs XcN

This is the first time Indonesia XcN has signed up for an international DotA tournament; the ESL Major Series DotA tournament. They have been placed in the same group as MYM and Romania TeG and are set to play MYM right now!

It has always been XcN's dream to face off against one of the top tier teams like MYM, and now they have the chance! Unfortunately, both teams found it difficult to find a suitable host. United State- MYM|Fear ended up hosting which was good for XcN, but it seems Denmark MYM|Maelk and others were spiking badly.

With four stunners on their side, XcN took the advantage early through midgame, constantly killing the weaker heroes like Leshrac, causing him to get severly outleveled. On the other hand, Bristleback was leisurely free farming for a long time, getting a fast hood and radiance.

Although their stuns and spells were enough to sweep out most of MYM's heroes, the Bristleback ended up getting a triple kill at one point because he was just too tough to take out. Sand King couldn't do much with his ultimate anymore once most of the Scourge heroes got their blink daggers.

Bristleback became unkillable with 30+ armor but he could barely enter the Scourge base sometimes because XcN was doing a good job nuking the creep waves and in fights. Although the Bristleback could tank a lot he was constantly getting disabled. Most of the Scourge heroes had blink daggers as well, allowing them to blink away from the Bristleback, heal and then come back.

The game was looking good for XcN from the start, but unfortunately their efforts just weren't enough to stop the overpowered Bristleback. Fear was able to sit and tank through all their damage and hit down buildings, slowly but surely they got all their raxes down!

Maelk probably knew what the host would be like,so he chose the most suitable line-up.Hero combinations that require precise timing and exact positioning were not viable under the conditions they faced,so he decided to play it safe.
Good game by both teams,looking forward to their ESWC clashes

That's very insightful, and you could be right, but in reality it was way worse than I had feared. Wouldn't have picked Sand King, I had I know it'd be that bad.

Reason we took BB + SP was simply because neither was banned and we are tired of losing to teams because we leave them Bristle as 4th/5th pick, so we didn't want to leave it to them.

And with all due respect for XcN, cause they are indeed a great team, but only reason they were leading as much as they were was because of the immense lag. Follow any three of MaNia, LevenT or me and you'd easily be able to notice how bad we lagged.

In fact, as reported in local forum, XcN had also bad lag. But, since they use to play in such lag condition, they didn't complaint. Anyway, since host was US/Europe, XcN lag should be worse than MYM.

However, well played by MYM and XcN. MYM FTW...

soooo true lol, i feel soooo bad for xcn tho. they dominated in nearly all the team battles but then that bb was just tooo much.. tough luck xcn :(

but if you see the replay, you can see that there is no lag,
this is how pro players play... nice game MYM but, fallen to KS ^_^

eeeehm..... it also depends on were in the US that the host is... and other stuff... asians in MANY cases get the better ping/latency towards an US host than ALOT of us Europeans...
(last year)  #22 kentutasu
 
what i heard is, they don't care about lag, cause it is inevitable. they just want the other team lag too, so that it will be fair.
and US host is fair for europe vs asia match.

but the fact that the host is a MYM player, is kinda unfair.

-My might can be matched-

True. but not only MYM had lag, remember that XcN had lag as well, depends on whose side had the worse. Ive Seen the replay and the game was still awesome though.

You don't have to state it in all chat after you and Mania got clowned by zeus at about 50-60th minute, that just makes you look like a joke. You had lag, they had lag and you had a host player with a carry PLUS another US player who just can't possible lag on that host. So its 3 laggers vs 5.

Very TRUE.

I have lost faith on you, Maelk. Joo are a JOKE.
(last year)  #50 boyBK
 
I bet you never know how bad normally an asian ping is with Europe or US host. I agree that you guys have lag but you dont need to say as if XCN all have good pings.

Btw, "but ONLY REASON they were leading as much as they were was because of the immense lag" is not a professional player's comment.

well no offense, i played indonesian battle net before with satellite T1 as my provider, i spike the whole game just to play with my friends in Singapore. Although MyM lag so bad, XcN lag should be even worst. vatidera was right about that. Before they become such a famous team, they used to play in such a lag environment. Lag is just a matter of getting used to it. GG

i doubt indonesia team can get visa for going USA :)

Why the goals always go to BB?!
if doesn't have dazzle in game, BB won't make anything.
BB with dazzle and nekro healing is IMBA.

Dazzle wins the game alone!!!

Really a incridible match, that will go to the history of DotA

#30 Agree. It's really an epic match.

Funny how Maelk scolded Raigor for blocking the entrance considering BB was actually inside Scourge's base... I'm not even sure if EMS has the same rules with PD. Lols.

I wonder what will MYM do if they actually lose that match, considering they actually lag (Maelk says so).

GG.

A incredible match to both teams, the problem so far is just lag, lets hope they can find better host next time, so there won't be any debates about lagging ^^

The 20 second respawn for Bristleback is ridiculous. If it wasn't for that imbalanced combo I doubt MYM would have won. Bristleback being nearly unkillable and Dazzles ulti. But then XcN didn't have much of late game heroes nor did they ban either hero. MYM performance was bad but I guess I don't know what to think of the game since lag played a role in it. But their luck this game didn't help them vs KS.

yeah.. the delay is almost 2seconds. so you should think really fast and predict your enemy's move asap,or it will be too late hahaha.. any replay? where? so indonesia couldnt be abandoned eh? they give mym a hard fight and a hard game..
