DTS vs Sky

Hey guys. The latest commentary was done by me last night, just before i went to sleep. I was pretty tired last night, so after i casted the commentary, i went straight to sleep. There's no need for me to mention which clan DTS is, but lets just say, its 1 of the top dota clan in history. Line up consists of NS, Dread, Light of heaven, followed by 2 new members, God, and Ars Art. Dendi, and artstyles have both left the team and joined up with the new team called Na'Vi, located in Ukraine. In today's game, they are going up against Sky, a fairly new team coming from Germany. The reason for me to cast this replay, is tat, there was an uproar on gosugamers, because Sky has beaten DTS before, do i want to see, what strategies they have got up their sleeve. This is actually game two of the event, game 1 ended with DTS winning. So here we go:
DTS has picked some fairly unseen heroes such as technies, and furion. Scourge's line up is pretty unorthodox, because we dont generally see anti-mage and pudge picks in big tournaments and events. EH.GIGABYTE.BLK, is actually not from ehome, but is a member fill, from germany. I have seen his games before, his official roaster is on the clan called zG, but i have been seeing alot of games being filled by him recently, and i must say, his play has been quite impressive.

End game analysis: Judging from the picks from DTS, it has not been so obvious that they are heading towards an early/mid game push strategy, especially coming from the Shadow fiend and Potm picks. NS has shown us how he plays support, and how extraordinary he is compared to other normal support players we have seen, through the uses of his reflexes and casts with repeated swap and stun. Nevertheless, DTS Light has also shown us how imba, furion can be with his end game item being so stacked and loaded. I have to admit, eventho i have watched so many replays of DTS with God in it, i must God has been a better replacement of Dendi, i have seen his SF played extremely proficient, and being able to farm up accordingly, even being ganked repeatedly at the start. These 3 players, NS, God, and Light, have been worth mentioning in this particular game. Nevertheless Potm and techies have done quite a good job in this game throughout, but i will not go deep into their team play.



Over at the scourge side, we have seen some good actions initiated by them. I have to give credits to the Pudge and Anti-mage in particular.Black has been a really good addition to this team, and if you have watched this replay carefully, you have to admit his hook accuracy is over the top, and it is because of so many hook successes, scourge even had a glimpse of hope lying in them. Moreover, with the quite farmed anti-mage during mid game, Anti-mage has repeatedly forced the sentinel to discontinue their persistent push and pursue. I felt like the scourge support players were not experienced enough to put up a decent fight against the sentinel's support, and again, the only worth mentioning heroes were Pudge and Anti-mage, and maybe Sandking. I also however must say, scourge was not expecting this kind of push strategy coming from the DTS, mainly because of the pick phases, but have been fooled by the sentinel. Eventho at the end, Anti-mage has started killing the sentinel heroes with his farmed manta style, and vanguard, with even an eaglehorn at the near end, but it was not enough to counter the relentless push by the sentinel. (having 1 rax down has also contributed to giving scourge alot of pressures)



All in all, i must say that, the mvp of the game is Light, followed by Black. These 2 players have shown their extraordinary skills, with Light being farmed up extremely well, ended up having a Manta style, Lothar's edge, Force staff, guinsoo at the end of the game. Black is credited for his hook accuracy and initiation that he has been giving for his team, throughout the game.

Description of the game: PURE EPICNESS. Eventho i was tired, i still watched the replay to the end, and i must say, this replay has been quite entertaining and full of actions, of the total head counts of around 90 kills. I hope u guys enjoy my analysis, and i will see u guys next time :)

this is ideal signing off.
