Comment:
This game was organized after EcstasY joined a DuC -CM asking for a clanny, which he said would be "right now". Man, that was balls. :/ DuC were forced to wait half an hour+ for TwG's 5th (drafting taking place while we waited). X_x

DuC opting to tri-lane, while twG did the same (which we didn't see coming). MrAsSsMan's Rhasta waiting for us to initiate before revealing himself...

0:51 [DUC]NeoN (Anub'arak) (0-1) was killed by EcstasY (Sven) (1-0).

^ wp!

Sadly, Shau and Edge were perma lagging from early on (cause of the bot-host, being beta and all). This had me baffled since other peeps were complaining about it too in a prev game that I hosted using the bot. I'll try read up on it when I get a chance.

Cause of 'em lag issues, DuC were on the back-foot bot-lane - Shau standing way in the back while his screen-shots hopefully stopped. :/

Leave it to Dr3xus to kick ass and take names, taking Leg down and tt'ing top-lane...

6:08 [DUC]Legend (Necrolyte) (0-1) was killed by Dr3xus (Warlock) (1-0).
...
7:13 Sentinel top level 1 tower was destroyed by The Scourge.

Having both Rhasta and WL saw TwG push imba, taking mid tower a few mins later.

Mid-game had POTM free-farming top-lane, while we held off the other lanes (or went hunting, or were being hunted). >_<

SF managed to "rush" his Purge-stick which def did help in fights, til he started dying too fast to even use it. lol

There were a few times when POTM got away with the min'est of HP, rubbing that salt just a lil deeper. X_x

With a 30 min bot-rax by TwG, the pressure was up and DuC were forced to stay on their side of the map (defending/farming up).

Edge struggled to save for his blink-stick, getting a few hundred away from it before dying in a gang. :/

DuC tried to defend as best they could, but the death-toll was always high in fights (being a rax down didn't help).

TwG managed to rax mid-lane and fin soon after.

gg, wp!

Ye it was a bit crap with the lag, I'm looking forward a lag free rematch!

Was nice game. Unfortunate that you guys had lag, I have been getting spikes on that bot as well.

We can have a rematch on Sat night if you want?

Word of advice. You guys need to improve your map awareness more and the way you position yourselves in fights. Your movement made it very easy for us to hit you with our aoe.

Also if you gonna trilane, don't make it so obvious by picking 2 heroes that pretty much have to solo to be a force mid game. Its not that your strat was bad, it was a solid strat. But its too easy to figure out your general plan and counter it by adjusting out picks etc.

Agreed, but lag spikes really did hamper us, i mean so many fail walls bot ended up in u guys getting away when u werent trapped due to mis timing of es walls, kinds had us on the back foot from the start for a lane that should have been ours

I agree we could of been more sneaky with the picks tho, but I think we have decent map awareness when any miscommunication is sorted out.
