Our final game of the candycup vs SBW.

The game started off pretty loose for us, and we were playing a bit too aggresive. We managed to get a early lead, but SBW quickly caught up with some good play and heroes being in the right place at the right time. We were just gonna start consolodating when Sober dropped, which had us all really worried.

SBW started getting the upperhand as we split up to try stop multiple pushed lanes, picking us off in ones and twos. Once again ES with blink causing us problems. We really neeeded to push, but couldn't get an opertunity. Having tinker to jump around the map pushing lanes really helped though. Also ratthing was able to farm really well early game and became quite buff. We eventually got the oppertunity to push and a mistake by SBW cost them a set of rax.

From that point on the pressure was heavily on SBW and we didnt relent. With the pushing power of tinker, raxing power of rhasta and imbaness of naix SBW couldn't stop us.

GG SBW, I know you guys still a new team, but you did well, getting heroes there, when you got ganked and taking advantage of us splitting up.

I just think you didn't have the greatest hero picks.

I know why you picked anti-mage, but I just don't think he is a good hero for clannies. He just is not usefull enough in team battles. You guys would have been better of with a support/gang hero like tide/sandking or something. You had 4 carry heroes and only 1 support/gang hero, which is always gonna make things difficult.

I think if you guys focus on getting a more balanceddraft, you'll notice a big difference, since your gameplay is good.
