You may have failed miserably in this attempt, but you still made Long Zhu think on their feet. Hell, even Khan built 2 lethality items on J4, something you NEVER see in pro play.

You may have gotten steam rolled, but i still give all props to you for bringing something new to the Worlds stage.

Their style was extremely fun to watch. I loved it!

It's obvious their cheese/gimmick/off-meta tactics are probably going to not work against the top tier teams, but it's still fun as hell to watch. Even if they end up getting stomped, they are by far the most entertaining team to watch at worlds.

I think khan build the lethality items because he knew the game was over and an easy stomp. Don't get me wrong I was hoping GAM would win but they didn't really make Long Zhu think on their feet. They just did the same strat that used to be used against lane swapping a couple seasons ago.

It's super fun indeed, but what was the point of the rolane swap?

Dude, they sucked.

They tried a sub-optimal strategy in a setting where everyone does the strategy with the least risk.

I love these boards. What they did was awful, and thats why they lost. You never see that shit in pro play because its not good.

They were literally only in Worlds to do this non meta shakeup to make people think, "Oh, theres something different." The rest of the games will be proper, with teams using real strategies and trying to win. Not some team who was clearly paid to throw or was only there in the first place as comedic relief.

Remind me what they did. I am ignorant when it comes to the pro scene.
