LIHL trial request by Invo

[Invokation]

Hey guys,
after joining FBG 4 years ago (if I remember correctly), this is my first attempt on requesting LIHL access. With my current Elo on FBG, I have to call most of the games, and I would like to play games in LIHL where better players are calling, so I get the chance to learn and improve. I would really appreciate a chance 🙂

Tell us what other previous league or in-house experience you have: Several years in FBG

Provide a list of aliases and other accounts. These are names that people might recognize you as: Invokation / Invo

Discord account: invokation

BattleTag on Bnet: Invokation#21136

If possible, provide a list of LIHL players who might know you or that you are acquainted with: I played several games with Wikarn, inQ, Sebas, Malo and some more

Any additional information that you would like to provide: I would be happy to get a chance 🙂

Game1 – Aqua yolo
free roll – snake, novice, harpy, priest, wyv, panther

-You dropped 2novice+1snake and rr on 1
-I already rate this game 1/10 for rr this insane free roll.
*It shows you lack unit knowledge. This is a very versatile roll that can yolo hard and/or mid all levels

Game2 – disc yolo
Free roll – bone, spider, crab, medicine man, disc, dp

• Disc start, your team eats enemy warrior send and you scout landmine
• Good decision to 3/1 and solo disc 2
• Your team goal 4 and 5 while enemy skip. Game is unlosable at this point
• Your team skip 7 and goal 8. Both teams now have 1 heal with SW
• 7/5 7 is correct, 7/6 8 is correct
• The call after 8 is full 10
  *Even though you have 2 lanes staying 7/3 and 2 lanes 7/6 atm, with both teams 1 heal SW. I would stay 7/6 here instead of pushing 7/7 and build rest for dmg 10 in the off chance that you might lose a race 10, highly unlikely but possible(since Purple didn’t mid 10)

I rate this game 8/10. Game was very easy from the start and you were free to full push all game

Game3
free roll – gnoll, lubber, gg, pris, alchemist, sg
– you dropped 5 lubs and rr
*Normally this would be ok but your team has max yolo rolls with small opportunity to damage 10 with 7/4 but can never mid, so I would at least keep this roll until level 3 to drop at least 2 gnolls for 10 insurance. Or do 4 lubs 4 gnolls and rr

New roll – para, ea, cannon, overseer, nm, dk

• you keep 5 lubs and send warr
  *I dont like this. You can make the case for playing lubs over ea/cannon. But with para in roll you must start either ea or cannon.
  *Especially when you send warr, you are dead if they come 2 and mega weak on 4
  *Since you have DK and likely plan to DK 5 if given the opportunity, the optimal play here would be starting cannon, into +para and small archer on 2. This clears your lane 2 and you are fine 3 4 if they skip with sub 500val and can bank for dk5.
• you scout EA mid with 2 lanes 50-60%. Big chance enemy team send 2
• enemy team sent 2 and your team get goaled with you leaking 7 creeps+BO
• you do small cannon 3 into big cannon 4 575val with no bank for dk5. Your lane is now super awkward nolo with no option for 2 dk7
• you get nice goal 4 and do 2nd cannon 835val 3/1
• good decision to commit 3/1 and up a priv on 6 since good chance enemy send 6 after burning heal 4 and skipping 5
• Lucky for you enemy send 6, you go mid and basically auto mid 7 to a resend.
• You mid 10 and stay /4, enemy team sent 15 while you skip and die. You end with 3835val 7/4 and 66 inc

I rate this game 4/10. The building decisions you made from lv1 haunted you this game. You could achieve the same result with higher push/inc if you just start cannon into para + small archer 2, min hold 3 4 with 2nd small archer and ez dk5 with at least 5/2.

Since these replays are a month old, I will review 2 recent random replays
FBG LTD84
free roll – ent, lub, watcher, pris, Komodo, ygg

• you start 5 lub and send warr
  *I would always start watcher over lub, unless you have good adds to carry, which you dont. Watcher if given same value as lubber build would do better 2,4,5(even full clear or mid 3)
  *Same situation with game 3, you start lub when call is warr. If you do watcher here you can do 3/0 5watcher on 2 and mid vs send
• enemy leak 33 3 lanes and LOD eat all
• enemy send 4 and you rip as 470 lubber
• Game is 90% over at this point so I stopped watching

I rate this game 3/10

FBG LTD82
free roll – snake, dwarf figher, turret, mudman, disc, GOD (supreme yolo with OP clear potential if needed)

• you start disc and both team send 2
  • you go 220 disc on 2 and 4/0. This is fine but with turret+snake add you dont need 2nd disc ever.
    *I’d just 260 here with 3snakes 4/0 into turret 3 ez hold 350 while not rip to 2 send(you were mega lucky to only leak 2 creeps 2)
• you do standard 2 disc build into dropping a few snake+turret and rr into polar and no adds – sold turret, snakes and do polar 5
  *since you dont utilize snakes, your lane is just a full suicide push lane now
• you think enemy team send 6 and add a 2nd polar
  *This is not good. at 680 value with 2 disc 2 polar you do nothing vs a 6 send, and if they dont send, you dont feed your carry lane 6 and potentially steal feed from other leakers with absolute garbage roll
• enemy team sent 6 and u are stuck 7/3 when you could have been 7/4 on 5. I stopped watching here

I rate this game 4/10

Note: We dont judge calls for LIHL application. What matters are your builds and situational awareness
Conclusion: You like to stick to standard builds which is fine since people tend to overcook and end up with suboptimal builds. You do have some situational awareness but overall your unit knowledge and builds are quite weak. Snake is insanely strong unit and good adds to any builds, yolo or ob, yet you aren’t using it in the 2 games i reviewed. I’d like to see you expand your build mixes some more to see what works and what doesn’t, and observe LIHL games to see builds if you don’t wanna risk your FBG elo lol. Deny for now
