Dota 2 has been known for having a variety of picks, and the current patch hasnt really settled into a defined meta-game like the past. The International 6, though, is a record-setter in terms of hero variety.By the end of Day 3 of the main event, 104 heroes had been picked in the entire run of the tournament. Only six heroes have been overlooked in the draft, a staggering amount.While impressive, it raises the question: Why havent those last six been picked? Also, a number of heroes that have been picked are surprising, and several previously off-meta heroes have been topping the Most Picked chart. We put our heads together and came up with an overview of the crazy picks at TI6.Who has surprised us with being picked?Drow RangerDrow Ranger was widely considered a pocket pick before The International began, but shes been one of the most popular choices in the tournament. In this faster patch, the lineup emphasis revolved around fighting and rotations, which is something Drow Ranger lacked in the early levels. The hero was weak in the escape and mobility department and only spiked in damage when she leveled her ultimate and farmed up a couple of statistic-efficient items. But, shes been picked up throughout the tournament, up to a whole 34 times in just the group stage; good for a top 10 ranking for most picked hero.Her inclusion was a surprise because of the aforementioned weaknesses, but her strengths fit the type of strategy that many teams were employing during The International - split-pushing and stalling. Drow Rangers ability to strengthen the range heroes on her team, and the archers in the creep waves, naturally pushed lanes. Teams were also using her ability Gust in stellar combinations to stun and silence priority targets.Ogre MagiIn the support role, many teams have been experimenting and adapting. One hero has been a staple for the five-role, though, and its one that might surprise: Ogre Magi. The patron saint of luck, Ogres entire kit revolves around dice rolls to multi-cast his various spells, and so teams often found him inconsistent in the past. His ability to bully in lane, however, has been gradually increasing. Buffs to health regen and lowered mana costs helped his early lane phase, and the effects of Bloodlust cant be understated; it turns current meta carries, like Drow and Huskar, into monstrous carries.Naga Siren/KunkkaAnother surprise is the re-emergence of Naga Siren. Many analysts theorized shorter game times coming into TI6, but teams have been utilizing Naga to a surprising extent, extending games and forcing back aggression with her Song of the Siren ultimate. The skill-set is powerful, no doubt, and players have utilized it both in the support and carry roles; the ability to instantly reset any fight dissuades many aggressive initiators , like Faceless Void, from jumping in carelessly.Synergizing with the Siren, Kunkka has made a massive resurgence in the TI6 meta as a support pick-up. Usually regarded as a carry, using his Tidebringer to splash damage across a massive area, many teams have instead utilized his crowd-control abilities in the support role. Torrent and X Marks the Spot offer reliable, consistent stuns, and his boat-smashing ultimate benefits teams two-fold, through both damage and the friendly buff for teammates.Naga Siren makes this combo even more potent, allowing Kunkka to simply aim his boat and let Naga handle the set-up. Separate, these two picks are interesting and effective, but together, they create a monstrous teamfight wombo-combo that has been a fallback strategy for many teams in TI6.Who hasnt been picked (and why)?VisageHow has Visage not fit a teams plan yet? Visage would fit well with the current pace of the main event of The International. Few games have dipped below 30 minutes, and most seem to sit right in Visages sweet spot. The hero is a space-creator with the ability to split push with its familiars and finish off early kills and ganks with Soul Assumption.In team fights, a skilled Visage player could slow opponents at long range and stun multiple heroes with the stone drop from the familiars and provide a powerful damaging spell in Soul Assumption for kill security. In addition, the inclusion of Drow Ranger as a popular carry pick should only bolster the case for Visage because its familiars benefit from the range damage aura of the damaging archer.The flaws of the hero were obvious coming into the tournament: few players have a Visage, its a slow hero with a slower stun, and it fit a slower-paced game. But with the games in the main event running longer, it could just be a matter of time.LeshracOne of the best strategies in The International centered around a pushing lineup. Teams developed drafts around heroes such as Lycan, Beastmaster, and Death Prophet or wave-clear heroes like Timbersaw, Mirana, and Alchemist to great results. But, the missing Leshrac could soon fit into the ever-growing list of heroes used during the tournament. The explanation for why Leshrac was missing in drafts could be as simple as theres better supports available. With most of the attention on Elder Titan, Shadow Demon and even Ogre Magi, the level and farm-intensive Leshrac was left off every teams roster. But, if the trend for push strategies does continue and if a team lacks a burst of magical damage, Leshrac may very well be the answer.Treant ProtectorRounding out the mysterious absences is Treant Protector, a hero that offers both massive map control with its Natures Guise and Aghanims ultimate, and a strong tool in supplementing rough lanes. Treant might be less in favor now simply due to the prevalence of roaming supports; while the tree can be incredibly aggressive in the early level one or two situations, it falls into a more background-support role as Leech Seed loses its edge. Still, Peter ppd Dager can roll a mean Treant, and the Living Armor ability is extremely useful for both holding towers and protecting lanes from ganks. Look for this to be a potential pocket-pick in either Alchemist-oriented lineups, or if a team looks to run an aggressive duo-offlane.Serge Aurier Jersey . World champions Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov of Russia won the gold medal with 237.71 points, Moore-Towers and Moscovitch followed at 208.45 and Ksenia Stolbova and Fedor Klimov of Russia were third at 187.

This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Mousa Dembele Hotspur Jersey . Argentina winger Ezequiel Lavezzi and France midfielder Blaise Matuidi scored, with star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic setting up both despite having a poor game by his high standards. Forward Eduardo gave Ajaccio the lead in the sixth minute after being set up by right winger Benjamin Andre, and the Corsican side looked comfortable in the first half, with the lively Johan Cavalli causing problems with his probing runs from midfield. Danny Rose Jersey .S District Court against Major League Baseball, the Office of the Commissioner and his own union, the MLBPA.Having stalled against A-League cellar dwellers Adelaide United, Sydney FC will turn their full focus to the FFA Cup final and claiming their first piece of silverware in seven seasons.The Sky Blues will be in a hurry to forget Saturday nights home goalless draw, an uncharacteristically drab display that was very much the Sydney of last season and not what fans have come to expect of the runaway leaders.And while the last-placed Reds utilised a stop-start contest to prove they are better than their current standing suggests, Sydneys lack of cohesion, especially in the final third, will require addressing before Wednesday nights Cup decider against Melbourne City.We have to be honest, the players are disappointed in their own performance, Arnold said.But still we tried to go forward and dictate the game.But every team is going to lift, and we have to lift our performances.We move on now, weve got a short turnaround for the FFA Cup final and for me its all about recovery and getting ready for the game.Both marquees, Filip Holosko and Bobo, were off colour but also lacking service, while Daavid Carney, starting for rested captain Alex Brosque was a shadow of his usually menacing self.ddddddddddddArnold confirmed Brosque will return to the starting line-up against City as hes managed through a busy week also featuring next Sundays away clash with Newcastle.The coach will start his strongest XI at AAMI Park in his bid to lead Sydney to the clubs first trophy since 2009-10s A-League premiership-championship double.On the bench will be short-term back-up goalkeeper Chris Oldfield, signed on Saturday as an injury replacement for Vedran Janjetovic.Arnold couldnt put a time frame for the return of Janjetovic, who was displaced as No.1 this season by Danny Vukovic and has been granted indefinite leave to deal with personal issues.I cant answer that at the moment, Arnold said.We respected Vedrans wishes and gave him some personal time away.We care for Vedran very much as a club and rate him highly as our goalkeeper, so were sure well see him back soon.
