As we can see from 100% of all pro games played with Techies, the correct build for him is to max suicide... ignore the stun... and get midas.

Literal 0% winrate.

Techies has never lost a competitive game by rushing Abyssal + Butterfly before boots. Think about that when deciding on his correct item build.

Least interesting TI finals to date.

Why?

EDIT: These games are exciting as shit, not sure what you mean especially

I'm just incredibly biased towards C9, just ignore me haha.

[Putnam]

I am unbiased, mostly to help me bet on stuff. It's helped me quite a bit so far.

[Jack_Bread]

That was... anticlimactic...

I didn't even watch the finals. For me, TI4 ended with the C9 vs Na'vi match.

Did anyone else have the incredible rollercoaster ride of disappointment by supporting Alliance, then Navi, then Cloud9, then EG, then VG?

I supported Na`Vi.NA, then Liquid, then stopped when I noticed that NewBee would probably win it all, considering how well they'd done up to that point.

I managed to tune in for game 4. I was planning to hunker down for an hour and watch, but the game was over before I had time to whip out the doritos. I will say I lost a fair bit of interest after Alliance got knocked out, though.

I experienced this as well. I swear this International was cursed.

[Thexor]

To be fair, we were spoiled by the last International. TI3 had possibly the closest grand final imaginable, with the fate of the match coming down to a single decision (and arguably a single spell). It would've been naive to assume another match-up that intense.

Then again, I was hoping for something more exciting than

three sub-20 minute slaughters in a row.

The tournament structure could not have been more obtuse.  That was terrible.
The final was pretty disappointing, VGs draft seemed really bad??  I don't know if pot-sharing or collusion type stuff has a history in Dota, but hey the turnaround after the first game was so extreme it ... didn't seem real.  But I dunno, first time I watched one of these.  Hope the next one is clearer and more satisfying.

[Karkov]

I don't think there's been a history of pot sharing, haven't heard anything about it.  I'm just surprised that two unknown (at least for me) teams got to the finals and then, from all accounts that I've heard of it, one decided to throw the Championship.

Then again, I haven't watched the last match, nor have I ever talked to either of teams or watched them practice, so that's just my opinion on pre-biased information.
