Best druid, for sure. Not the best player. Best player still probably would go to Snutz.
Knew they were going to win. I call C9 the Buffalo Bills of the 90ās, they dominate during the season but canāt win the big one.
i think healers are by default usually better than dps but ya snutz is a goat too

If kubzy played all healers at his druids level then I could agree about him being the goat 
he does i would say the man is a legend iāve played with all of his healers and hes insane on all of them

That matchup isnāt an easy one for either team, RMPal even in BfA was a strong answer to MLD, both teams played really well. No luck on anyones side
Super disrespectful to the players, they all played very well. You see one or two things go bad without watching the entire game and judge it off that. All 6 players were trying their heart out and mistakes get forced on both sides by nature of the MU.
Youāre not going to find a single MLD come close to what C9 did in that MU, everyone still hates on that comp because of BfA but their series was the most fast paced and highest quality games.
Can we talk about the fact that OTK was dangerously close to keeping C9 out of the Grand Finals with an ACTUAL meme comp. I meanā¦ DH/Mage/Shamā¦ in a battle for 2nd/3rd place? AND IT WON?
My order of cheer for AWC teams is:
Golden Guardians (we all love TheMove)
Cloud 9
Spacestation Gaming
OTK (Mostly because I loved the rivalry between them and TM)
But even with my fandom, I have to acknowledge that the Grand Finals could have easily been OTK vs M NA.
Tbh comp doesnāt seem the worst outside of the rsham part, but rsham was likely just rly good over hpal into Rdruid to them
Creed played a lot of Dh/Fmage in EU, seems they figured itād be good. I think it was a decent answer first game, prolly should have tried Hpal w/ it at some point though
Was a good answer though to MLD, seems best thing vs that comp has always been fire mage/melee. Prolly because of how vulnerable they are w/ a clean go
It isnāt disrespectful at all, MethodNa did whatever they can with their comp and pushed its limits they were lucky with Land from Above especially on Ashamaneās Fall.
I hate what comp Damp9 plays and it is obvious that they are a great team only team that can beat them is MethodNa but even for that luck was required.
Imagine playing melee against Frostmage-Lock-RestoDruid, I know how Drake felt during those matches upon having to use mobility defensively.
Noone says Damp9 is a bad team but I donāt think what they play deserves love or I never said MethodNa purely won because of luck, they did whatever they could with that comp in the best way possible.
I donāt. 1600 rating player farmer team, lol. They will never succeed beyond what they have now already.
haha
Not luck, pmuch every DfA from drake was well calculated, gave Chanimal specific reactions and DfA answered everything he can do. Bursting him into Kidney->Cheap->Garrotes, he knows things like coil/ports have to happen so he DfAs.
Itās actually absurdly hard to survive as Destro lock here, and everyone else on C9 gets threatened by doing what they can to keep him alive as well. Assa doesnāt get shut down as hard by MLD control, itās one of the best melees into MLD in general (even RPS is insanely strong into it which is why C9 had picked up turbo to deal w/ GG). All that ever matters is if the rogue does his go and MLD cannot peel RMX well on their goes which is exactly why itās very stressful. Outside of goes though C9 can punish very heavily, makes it easy for either side to make mistakes. Their first series yday barely had any games in dampening because of how quickly smaller mistakes or even just good plays on either end close a game
Drake didnāt randomy use it yeah but letās be honest here he got lucky with following the port in Ashamaneās. He generally intends to dodge coil with it or similar CC to disrupt the go not follow a lock 30 yard with it.
Yeah but Iām sure if they had played yesterday against GG, Damp9 would just 3-0 GG as MLD because they practiced Destro-Frostmage alotmore.
What are you saying, they lose to RPS as MLD. Even the previous time they fought GG they played turbo into them because they needed an RPS answer
If he canāt coil what else is he going to do lol, thatās not luck
The credit behind this goes to how well Chan and Wealthy were stopping drinks on top of trying to prevent restealths. Only map where Brian was able to keep up with mana for a good amount of time was one of the bigger maps, but eventually getting past mage/lock to stop a druid drink has major risks.
Idk if you are trolling. Hpal is one of the most forgiving healers rn. You have multiple defensives that you can use under the influence of stuns, you have arguably the best burst healing that comes up rather frequently, most of your instant cast heals are capable of topping players if used properly, and you have a great set of utility to prevent deaths.
Taking nothing away from Methodās performance, but it is really glaring how this meta supports hpal/firemage/x. Literally the top 3 teams in both regions have a proficient hpal/firemage comp to rely on. Seeing both shaman teams (Lontar and Sterge) unable to prevail is pretty sad considering how hpals are better equipped to deal with the sort of dmg & pressure this meta brings. And honestly Kubzy being the only druid healer that has played in more than just a handful of Matchups says how good he truly is on the druid, although I think he took a huge gamble playing feral affin on certain small maps which led to him being too vulnerable when dampening became higher.
Yeah and I insist on that if Damp9 played against RPS of GG yesterday they wouldnāt need to play turbo this time.
He could have wait for Drake to land and press it, 0.5 sec.
HolyPaladin just ooms faster than all other healers, it is the worst healer when it comes to mana alongside Disc.
Werenāt they runners up at blizzcon one year?
Your ignorance when it comes to GG is actually hilarious.

We are talking about the future friend, not past. I am aware of what they accomplished in the past but we have alot of hardstuck 1400 players with glad exp nowadays you know, past means little.
Prolly because youāve never watched them play that MU rofl
RPS counters MLD, turbo counters rps
If C9 could pick MLD safely into that team they would. MLD is infinitely safer into ret hunter than turbo is and yet they knew it was more worthwhile to stay off of it
That team is super smart w/ all their picks, probably one of the best when it comes to knowing the best matchups to play but Iām sure you know better than them. Youāre very respectful to their team ofc
Hesitation can also get you killed, and regardless that still is not luck. Heās making a smart decision based on knowing what the optimal decision is, thatās just good game knowledge
I donāt think so. Itās certainly not as great as hpriest or rsham on mana conservation, but I wouldnāt go as far as to say itās the worst. Depending on the types of comps which you face, you are going to experience faster mana depletion. If you plan on playing aggressively all game, then you are most likely going to lose more mana. I mean hpals need some weakness here lol. Canāt expect them to go back to how they were a few months ago (which was literally godlike). Itās a good tradeoff after seeing how nasty their heals are and how easily they can bounce back with the press of 2 globals - infact I think they need their instant heals tuned down a bit.
