Team Liquid.
They wont win, but fluffs drafting is entertaining.

Otherwise Alliance, S4 thuglyf.
I just want to see if their teamfight can beat navis individual talent and puppy mindgames.

anyone wants to play with me? ;c

Alliance hasn't been doing so well lately.

None of the top 3 or 4 teams are really, theyr playing an old meta.
with TI3 coming up, they dont want to let any of their secrets out, the picks are very standard and the plays are pretty standard.
not necessarily throwing games, but they arent giving themselves the edge they usually do.

also, why are people so intimidated by warlock?

they always seem to play the warlocks game, instead of their own. I will never understand why they let warlock engage them first, why not just engage him and kill him befor he can ulti?

anyway, looks like my teams all back from their holidays, so i can now go back to playing support. this mid role was getting old.

BenDover, Warlock never goes first (if it is good Warlock)
he initiate after victim's initiation

Sure usb I'm up for a game!

Also, I'd like to add that mouz are greatly boosted in their playstyle, though off-topic ;).

whys that? hes a versatile hero, he can be used to initiate or counter initiate and is effective in any of the roles.
my warlock games disagree with your statement.

in Black we trust.
that is pretty much mouz in a nutshell.

I like your item build in this match http://dotabuff.com/matches/171498376


Also I like that you don't blindly pick skills, such a pro @_@

I'm still going with navi, despite it sounds the obvious solution.
Also, am I the only one who builds refresher before agh on warlock? I mean, refresher is totally better than aghanim, the only problem that it has is that it is a bit more expensive, but hey, they are 2 massive stuns!

ags is alot cheaper, 1100g actually, and the 1875 recipe for refreshers is alot, compared to what else he needs to buy.
but the oblivion staff can be built from the side shops and gives decent mana regen.

either or, doesnt really matter
the refresher route just costs alot of mana, spending 875 mana on dropping 2 infernals, when you only have +-1100 does make managing your mana, difficult.
the ags gives you more bang for your buck, without destroying your mana pool, and the bonus +-400HP and is great.
