I’ll scoop. You got my Dragon with the Thieving Imp :cry:. GG.

33

Both tech 3s kinda put me in the same spot. I needed you to make the wrong call on the hero to take out and then use whichever ultimate I had left to finish it off. I definitely had Zarramonde on my mind more and think I maybe could have come back from dragon a little more but both would have been a tricky spot.

I did some bad greedy ult techs mid game that went pretty poorly for me, I think I could have done better at pressuring away from letting you tech 3 at all.

GG
