                            Midas omg. I think he used it once.

                                  but really can someone explain that midas for me?

                                  they were getting rekt, they couldnt stand VG pressure, they had no mid rax, they had only T3 on top, and the guy goes for midas? why? (seriously im not calling rtz noob or somethign i just want to understand why would he go for a late midas under those circumstances)

                                  rambosalad

                                    has mason ever won with brewmaster before? rofl

                                    every time they pick him brew I swear they auto lose. just give this guy mirana thats all hes good at

                                      because arteezy is an overrated kid that thinks midas is good every game

                                        i think it was the fastest orchid evah, it was built around 9 min i guess and by 15 he had necro 3 LOLLOLOLOLOL

                                          Arteezy has a midas fetish. He faps with a golden glove.

                                            They actually win with mason on Panda a lot because he doesn't do anything. I actually don't know why they stopped picking Doom for him.

                                            sleave

                                              give mason a riki so he can walk around invisible giving some vision

                                                Well...the thing is, what other options did he have? He was so far behind that any fighting item (treads, yasha) wouldn't have made any difference. The only hope for fights was flawless burrow/epi/wall next to SS wards stopping the push...but VG didn't clump up and they bought a pipe, so game was over.

                                                  the same reason that he built Midas during Techies game.

                                                  Z__

                                                    @Sleave: As you said, they couldn't stand against VG's pressure, so they had two options:
                                                    1. Buy any 2k gold item (blink/yasha), try to fight and lose no matter what.
                                                    2. Buy a midas, try to stall the game to lategame and have a minimal chance of comeback.
                                                    Edit:
                                                    RTZ itself has said plenty of times that midas has a huge impact on games and people should stop grabbing it everytime. The kid is one of the best players in the world (he's top 3 for a reason), so I highly doubt he got it without knowing what he was doing.

                                                      but midas would make him even more useless, by the flow of the match he wouldnt be able to use it more than 3 times (i think he only used once actually). atleast with yasha/drums he gets some dmg, AS, MS, its better than a midas, by that point they couldnt even leave their base lol theorically fighting high ground would favor them so a battle item would benefit them more

                                                      buuut... VG was just too far ahead it wouldnt matter anyway, i just wanted to know why he would go for midas, but he could have gone for rapier the outcome would be the same

                                                        This EG draft seems even greedier than last game's to me. We'll see what happens.

                                                          i hope they lose just because of the usa chanting

                                                              but this one DOOD

                                                                You really think drums/yasha/blink would have been a difference in a fight? ROFL.
                                                                You're in a position where you have no impact in fights, what do you do?
                                                                Option 1: You buy an item that won't increase your impact that much, therefore you will be still useless.
                                                                Option 2: You buy an item that won't increase your impact at all, but that will guarantee a gold income.

                                                                It seems pretty obvious to me. They couldn't fight, their only option was to stall the game so they have a slight chance of winning, but it didn't work out either. It was 0% chance of winning versus 5% chance of winning.

                                                                          Your option 2 is false because it does not only not increase your impact at all, but it actually decreases in comparison with any item you could afford with 2050 gold.

                                                                          Z__

                                                                            God you're fucking dumb. Their whole intention was to stall the game to lategame (midas = reliable and steady gold income for lategame), how is that hard to understand.
