TI9 Groups Day 3 - Goodbye to Chaos

Chaos ended the third day 2-12 and became the first team to get eliminated at TI9. Both of their wins were hard-fought. Their 2nd game against TNC is currently the longest game of the event, and credit should be given to Chaos for how they came back from TNC having mega creeps.

We’ve already seen a few comebacks from mega creeps at the event. It’s worth noting that unlike some of the other ones the Chaos-TNC game went on for around 20 minutes. Chaos tried going for a push right after their last rax fell, but showed good composure and got back in time when they realized it’s not going to work. The game ended up being a good showcase for how teams can look for pickoff opportunities in such a game state.

In the remaining 20 minutes it’s worth keeping an eye on how Chaos respond to Armel’s Arc Warden but still try to hunt for opportunities with heroes like Legion Commander and Windranger. Also TNC takes their turn in trying to set up traps on the sidelanes. The video is set to start a bit before TNC takes down the last rax from Chaos.
