Week 18 Match 17 – JJ.Dota vs mmK

This week we saw reigning Koth champions JJ.Dota take on mmK, in what could only be described as an extremely fast paced and exciting match. mmK haven’t featured in the King of the Hill Series since week 4, having been bested by dedA at that time.

ELIMS

JJ started the drafting, and the elims were nothing out of the ordinary: Viper being elimed by mmK thanks to his recent buff and both new heroes being removed as well. You will see that JJ was eliminating very quickly (Probably letting a single person do the drafting and maybe deciding ahead of the time on a few standard heroes to get out of the way.) while mmK was taking out the most popular trouble makers.

PICKS:

Some of you might wonder why Blood Seeker did not feature, however with a little reflection and some attention during the drafting phase you can come to a rough conclusion.

mmK opened the picks with Dirge, the fun loving tank with good farming and solo potential. JJ kicked off their own drafting with Clockwork and ES, thus making an Enigma pick a much weaker choice.

In total JJ seemed to try a slightly more fun approach to defending their title, using both CM and Sniper.

Overview:

I could tell you on a blow by blow basis what happened in the game. I could tell you about the warding, the battles, and the mistakes. I could give you some screenshots and substantiate my opinions. But I don’t believe that this game is worth that. The article would be pages upon pages long if I ever got to finish it and the list would be countless.

This game is a textbook on mobility and ganging. Exceptional use of TP scrolls turned many a gang, and even counter gang, into a full on battles. This fast pace was kept up late game as well, with more than one Boots of Travel making an appearance in the inventories on both sides. Both teams played exceptionally well, the scores neck and neck, with JJ eventually coming out just on top, mainly because of item difference and teamwork.

The only thing I can say is you HAVE to watch this game. Every single minute, right to the end, is action packed and filled with amazing play. The warding is good, the teamwork is good, the (counter) ganging is good and the communication within both teams was definitely also of the highest quality!

ITS GOOD. WATCH IT!
