ANALYSIS
In Game 1, Illidan played Chaos Knight starting in the Radiant top off lane. He had a great start to his game, getting first blood on Era's Slark and forcing Era to rotate to the bottom lane. From there, he made it his job to stalk Era in the early game. When Era teleported bottom, Illidan followed and continued to apply pressure. After his good start, Illidan was impossible to stop. With Io to relocate him into fights, as well as provide a huge attack and move speed boost, Illidan's damage was out of control. His Phantasm illusions were powerful enough to secure kills on their own by the end of the game. Illidan finished Game 1 with a perfect 3/0/13 KDA. Fantastic Five won Game 1. In Game 2, Illidan played Medusa in the Radiant bottom safe lane. He had a rough early lane against the aggressive triple lane from Escape Gaming. He gave up an early death, and had a very difficult time farming in his lane. Throughout the game, Illidan was constantly behind in terms of gold and experience to Escape Gaming's core heroes. As the game stretched later and later, he began to slowly catch up. He decided to go for an extremely risky 33-minute Divine Rapier. The massive bonus damage on Split Shot was enough to bring Fantastic Five back into the game. From there, the game dragged on for another 30 minutes. Even with a Divine Rapier, Illidan didn't have the damage to bring down all of Escape's heroes when they were prepared for his damage. In the late game, Illidan was a turret for his team. He constantly was pouring out damage, and was often the last member of his team alive at the end of fights. He finished the game with an 8/4/7 KDA. Fantastic Five lost Game 2. In Game 3, Illidan played Medusa in the Radiant middle lane. He had a nice early game against qojqva's Invoker. They were unable to really contest each other's early gold and experience, so both players got off to a nice start. Illidan actually managed to have a nice mid game. Although his damage outside of Mystic Snake wasn't very high, he was extremely durable in fights. Additionally, his Stone Gaze gave his team nice control over Escape Gaming's very mobile heroes. Unfortunately, he lacked the attack damage that he needed to scale into the late game. Accordingly, Fantastic Five found themselves extremely lacking in damage, letting Escape Gaming take easy fights even in Fantastic Five's base. Illidan finished the game with a 1/3/5 KDA. Fantastic Five lost Game 3.
