Watson responds to criticism from Somnus and Chalice over Terrorblade build
2024-04-12 12:29:00Entity Gaming carry Alimzhan "watson" Islambekov explained his choice of a skill build on Terrorblade in the match against Azure Ray. He was recently criticized for it by Lu "Somnus" Yao and Yang "Chalice" Shenyi. The player talked about it on his stream.
Why I didn't put points in Reflection against Weaver and Dragon Knight? It would do nothing against Weaver, the skill just shows you where he runs. And DK, he always activated Manta Style when I used the skill on him. And later he got Black King Bar, the ability doesn't work against it.
I have enough matches on Terrorblade. Usually I put more points in the first skill against Luna, someone like Morphling, Alchemist. In the rest of the cases I like taking stats more.
Somnus and Chalice disliked his skill build in the match against AR. According to the translation on Reddit, they said that Reflection is "Weaver's worst nightmare" and that the player "doesn't know how the game supposed to work" despite his high MMR. Their conclusion was that he is playing on autopilot, and Chalice even joked how he forgot about the difference between pro scene and pub players, "who can't cast their spells on him right".
Watson is well known for his MMR achievements. He is currently holding first place in EU ladder, and recently became first in the world to achieve 13.5k rating. In the past, Islambekov even held both first and second positions in the leaderboard on two different accounts.
