The International Archives - The Buyback

Ana makes a big brain play at The International 2019

[@yuanlalas]

the fact that they didn't even interview the man itself proves that he's a legend

[@beaniekei8691]

It's highly possible that Ana simply declined the interview 🤣

[@vince1987]

Probably for ana, this was just a normal selling item to buyback, he probably do it all the time.

[@fggdfgdfggsadvcvf5358]

not depreciating ana’s skill and impact to og but if you look up his true history of becoming him a pro player(not ones that are interviews of him/his friends or relatives) you can find out quite a shadow side of him. im talking about how he moved to china and who helped him. And how he fucked up those people who basically gave him the opportunity to live in china and be invited to his first teams. He is one of the most talented players ever but not very good and honorable person. Could’ve at least pay something to his friend back who allowed to live in his house in new country and pushed him to esports organizations but he just ignored him despite they had a contract. I think that could be the part of the reason why he doesn’t participate much in interviews etc. maybe he feels a bit guilty for the things he ve done

Ana's presence of mind is mind boggling. The sheer processing he did on that particular moment is enormous, and it happened in just a split second just like ceb's point. Juking, micro-ing, thinking if he will have enough gold for a buyback, selling. He wanted to win, he didn't hesitate to sell his items, he didn't think about being a "full slotted" carry. He just wanted to win, not for himself, but for his team. That's a "team player" right there

i completely agree. there's such a thing as team power level, and it's not necessarily the sum of its parts. OG prime roster is just a coincidental joining of skills and playstyles that gave them 2 TIs in a row. I feel that's not the case with OG's roster now. Still powerful, but nowhere near what it was.

[@operatorlink]

from what i saw these past few matches, most of the time Sumail is just out by himself trying to get farm but end of dying and could not get online in time.
