From the start, Solo secured the development of middle lane Invoker, GH naga also came to protect his own big brother. However, a wave of damage calculations made Invoker get a first blood, let Invoker overcome the weak period. Beastmaster took advantage of the strength of line, plus Invoker’s Sunstrike power, VP grabbed some tempo in the early stage. After the end of line period, VP lineup can only choose to avoid the war.
