            Dark seer wasn't played carry, Old Eleven is the Lone Druid player and they wanted a less greedy lineup...

                    I just miss the times when everyone developed their playstyle after thinking a bit about what and how he can, and wants to play.
                    Now it's just "let's try to copy the big players with the same playstyle even if I don't have the skills to play that way".

                      Yeah, Dota pro-scene is so boring like 2 years already, same picks of op heroes every game.

                            Clinkz was picked 12 times during the major. If I remember correctly, he was picked at least twice (maybe three times) during the EG vs CoL match; not twice in the whole major.

                              Hopefully soon.

                                @chocola-chan: He was picked a totla of 7 times, but only twice during the playoffs, which was the qualifying factor that was missing - thanks for pointing it out !

                                  Grammatical error:
                                  "Liquid was showcased Phoenix and NightStalker in support roles."
                                  "was" should be omited.

                                    Whoever played that sven is just dumb. Come on, sven will only get base damage from gods strength.

                                            @eggs your premise is good and I agree with all of it accept that most heroes are situational but most heroes are apart of the meta. It is true that Terrorblade and Medusa were picked and their respective games, but it didn't elicit a change in the meta. Therefore it stands to reason that they weren't apart of the meta before they were picked and were definitely not apart of the meta after.

                                              @eggs When did OG win with Terrorblade? Pretty sure Secret won that game but client counted it as OG victory due to w33's GG.

                                                "It turned out Sprout was an effective Sven counter." this is the best part. Might also good to counter Ursa
