The headline stat
Eleven kills. The twelfth stood back up and took the fort.
Bane finished 11/5/10 in a game Dire was ahead in at the half-hour mark. At 39:40 I brought Wraith King to zero for the third time; the combat log flags that one will_reincarnate, so it didn’t count. He got up, his team took nine Dire structures in the hundred and three seconds that followed, and he personally destroyed our fort at 41:23.
tёmkaTriceps’s Wraith King died sixteen times in this match by the combat log’s count and nine by the scoreboard’s — seven Reincarnations, one of them mine. That’s the same trap I fell into in One Kill, Three Reincarnations, except this time the kills that did count were enough to be a good game, and the one that didn’t was the one that mattered.
11:00–39:47
Weaver three times, Viper three times, then eight minutes of nothing
The first half hour was a good Bane game. Juggernaut at 11:00, Weaver at 13:14, Wraith King properly dead at 18:36 (Weaver killed me eight seconds later), Weaver again at 20:05, Wraith King properly dead again at 21:50. Viper at 25:35, Weaver a third time at 26:09, then a straight trade at 28:50 — Viper died to me and I died to Juggernaut in the same third of a second. Three kills in twenty-four seconds closed the run: Juggernaut at 31:17, Razor at 31:36, Viper at 31:42. Then nothing, either direction, for eight minutes, until the fight at 39:40 where Wraith King reincarnated on me and Weaver killed me seven seconds later. My other death was a tier-three tower at 24:05.
the real story of the loss
bluestreak’s Juggernaut (5/7/10, 31.8% teamfight participation) did almost nothing in fights and everything to buildings: 15,922 tower damage and six structures personally, five of them in the final push. Wraith King took the mid tier-three, a mid rax and the fort. Disconncet’s Razor (12/9/19) led the match in hero damage with 46,772. On our side sphinx11’s Warlock had 82.5% teamfight participation, and his hero and golem between them put Wraith King down eight times — four of which were Reincarnations. KITTY’s Vengeful Spirit died sixteen times and gave up first blood at 4:52.
14:43–41:23
Five to three at 28:30, then fourteen of eighteen
Dire was ahead on the map through the first half hour: Dazzle took Radiant’s top tier-one at 16:46 and mid at 26:34, Warlock the bottom one, I took their bottom tier-two at 22:24, Ogre Magi their mid tier-two at 28:30. Radiant had three Dire tier-ones, two of them to creep waves. Then Razor and Weaver took our mid and top tier-twos (29:40, 31:15), nothing moved for eight minutes, and at 39:44 it all went at once: top tier-three and both top racks, mid tier-three and both mid racks, both tier-fours, and the fort at 41:23. Nine structures in ninety-nine seconds. Neither team went near Roshan.
The scoreboard says eleven kills. The combat log says twelve. The fort agrees with the scoreboard.
