replay of the week/month

Last night I feel a bit bored after completing my revision study, so lurk around Replays.net, looking for any interesting games. There's quite a number of high-rating replays, so I just randomly pick one and start watching. After finished watching the game, all I can say is...holy shiet.

match comment: Don't be fooled by the sheer length of the game. My jaw dropped watching this. Over 160+ kills in over 80 minutes games, this tells everything you need to know. Extremely entertaining match with a LOT of kills and mass ganking, even after the game entered its late stage.

The game start off with Slardar, VS and Sven roaming bottom looking for first blood, and they got one on the lone roaming Abaddon. The ganking continued early game, with mid and bottom lane virtually has little free time to relax as the gank kept on coming from both sides. Scourge got a fair amount of advantage in term of kill early game thanks to Sven/Slardar/VS's roaming, however it comes at the cost of their levels, although the level difference is not that significant. Rhasta farmed up Aghanim and QoP completed her Guinsoo for Scourge, while Mirana readied her Diffusal and Viper with Hood/BKB. The ganking continues and so many epic teamfights happened, including some spectacular arrow/hook/swap from Mirana/Clock/Pudge/VS.

The game went on past one hour mark, but there's not much sign of loss from both side. Does Rhasta's double serpent ward manage to take sentinel down or does a beefed up viper/clock do the job to carry sentinel? Watch this awesome replays to find out!

Replay rating: 10/10 (Really Recommended)

MVP: I'd say either Azen or Demon.
