Comment:
With Edge being MIA, we got Elmo to sub for us this game (he used to play comps a while back, and we jammed with him at the December Mayhem LAN).

Elmo not knowing what ts meant, and then not having it... >_< ...things were already looking a lil south for DuC. Drafting was made that much harder after debating on me playing CM, and then deciding what to choose for Elmo...

-6:34 [Allies] animeDemon (Zeus): elmo can u kitty?
-6:24 [Allies] Elmo (Morphling): ya. not the best but I know her

^ The guyz thought that sounded dodge.

Finally for Elmo we went Morph (since I saw him play a few imba ones at the LAN).

Bot-lane uber struggled against the double-AOE-stun of Lion/Sven. Not taking my own advice, I played semi-aggro, trying to stop Sven from farming, but that only resulted in feeding. No communication bot-lane made for a frustrating early-game. X_x

And so, our bot-tower was quick to fall, leaving Lion/Sven open to ruin other lanes.

HaXx completely out-picking us, IMO, had the advantage bot-lane as well as mid/late-game with their supperior initiate - CM would fall in a blink of an eye. :/

What made matters worse in the DuC camp was Elmo's decision to go Skaadi after getting diffusal - farming it up was not the issue, just it's usefullness. :/

Haven't had such a kak -cm exp in ages, so am srs'ly doubting playing with a sub without ts in the future.

Anyway...
gg, vwp HaXx!

Comment:
With the return of Edegy for this game, spirits were lifting up again - mine at least. >_<

We had to re this game twice thanks to the HaXx boyz... initially SnoW's router reset 10 mins into the game, and the 2nd time boykie went and chose Coco instead of Sven. X_x

Was surprised to find Geno on CM, rather then on the carry-Sven like the last game (cause IMO Snow and Geno are HaXx's best carries/farmers). And this underestimation/overconfidence definitely hurt them.

Before creep-spawn, HaXx sent all their peeps bot-lane, and perfectly ambushed Edge/Demon...

-0:14 [DuCoRe]Edge (Vol'Jin) (0-1) was killed by .SnoW (Juggernaut) (1-0).
0:00 animeDemon (Slardar) (0-1) was killed by .SnoW (Juggernaut) (2-0).
0:00 .SnoW (Juggernaut) just got a Double Kill!

Before the 1st re, CM/Jugga were tearing us apart top-lane, but afterwards, Shau advised me to level up my Silence and save it for when Jugga walked in for the spin - worked like a charm. So this time round, feeding was kept to a minimum.

Mid-lane saw Legend farm/deny imba...

13:42 [All] _KaL (Magnataur): cs legend?
13:47 [All] [DUC]Legend (Netherdrake): 57
13:51 [All] [DUC]Legend (Netherdrake): 43 deniesz
13:52 [All] _KaL (Magnataur): wp
13:56 [All] _KaL (Magnataur): doos
14:03 [All] _KaL (Magnataur):

^ wpwp

While bot-lane had Dazzle feeding like crazy, which came as a surprise to me. >_<

With early-game advantage for DuC, we translated that into pushing and ganging mid/late-game. Having Puck, my passion for initiating was achieved. \/

SnoW was the main focus of any and all gangs, trying to take him out before he could get off his spin/ulti - nothing personal. >_< Was a lil surprised to see Snow farm up that Radience late-game, as I thought we had kept him down... wp dude!

Parting words...

35:17 [All] [DuCoRe]Edge (Vol'Jin): elmo is $%#&*^%?
35:22 [All] Geno_cide (Rylai): nah
35:22 The Frozen Throne is at 75%!
35:29 [All] boykie (Sven): ts is gooooood
35:30 [All] Geno_cide (Rylai): im just a good sven
35:35 [All] [DUC]Legend (Netherdrake): lol. win
35:42 [All] Cynide (Dazzle): 1 - 1
35:50 [All] boykie (Sven): our wardbitch failed
35:57 [All] Shau (Tidehunter): who?
36:01 [All] boykie (Sven): exactly
36:05 [All] [DUC]NeoN (Puck): cm seemz to be perma lose
36:05 [All] boykie (Sven): we had none
36:05 [All] Shau (Tidehunter): lol

^ What boykie said.

With the /time being past 1am we decided to leave it at that.

ggwp guyz!
