I can see pyro being his next pick...
If you people don't pick Pyro and Kraken, there is something wrong.
Interesting picks. Not really a big problem to be honest.
Though they have the beefier characters INT characters are still the top choice imo. He's going to grab pyro, tort or voodoo as well as CD, valk or Arachna. Grabbing two INT's is a possibility but it isn't going to happen as I see us going tort + pyro. Double stun lanes aren't as much of a problem if the players can learn to simply duck and cover from the AoE stuns. If he throws pebbles mid it's no big deal as we can just toss an int to harass him out of the lane (pyro maybe?).
Kraken might need to be picked but I'm not sure if it's a big deal yet. Overall this isn't to bad, if we really want to destroy some tanks there is always predator who isn't a horrible pick.
EDIT: Guess I should elaborate on kraken. Though it might be a big deal if he solo's pebbles, overall kraken isn't going to do much to help him in his laning phase. Sure he can last hit, but we can always make him regret it. If he goes with Blacksmith and pebbles in a lane, it'll be tough but it isn't something that is unstoppable. If he tries three melees we should be able to out do him no problem with Hag initiating and tell pyro to grab a key. Kraken is a decent next pick just not sure how I feel about what blockk is planning. If he takes kraken + ranged stunner it could be interesting but he definetly ****s his lanes over a bit.

hmm tough choice. I imagine the forums going Tort + Voodoo, but he will just grab Valk + Pyro
F it. Torturer and Voodoo

hm i could see a deadwood would being a good pick in this situation since his ult hurts str heroes the most. Kraken is worth picking last if at all not in our second pick.
Pyro + tort, pyro + deadwood, tort + deadwood are all decent choices right now. Deadwood can also destroy pebbles or hammerstorm mid and that could be worth a great deal to us.

Stop voting for kraken for the love of god we can pick him last.

If he decides to put both of those stunners in one lane, he has that lane won UNLESS we put dual stuns in that lane as well.
Pyro, Tort, Voodoo, and Valk are all strong picks.
An Electrician/Swiftblade lane combo isn't that bad, but we need disables. AOE disables. We also already have a carry, so that'd be a lame choice.
Go Pyro and Valk in my opinion, but I'm not choosing yet.
We should really grab pyro and voodoo just to shutdown the strong lanes.
If he is planning on sending pebbles mid against madman, then he won't pick another strong solo mid, if thats the case just get lastpick pred and put him mid against tiny
I was going to vote Pyromancer and Torturer, but him taking Soulstealer and Predator next would be the end of that...
Going with Torturer and Deadwood.
Torturer and Voodoo is what I would suggest. Why not Pyro or Valk? Can't dodge Voodoo stun, Torturer harasses melee better, just a larger arsenal, and Pyro stops having a presence before Torturer I feel. Voodoo also has a decent heal which means the lane won't get rolled over as often. Also his cursed ground + Torturer stun will be just plain mean.
Throwing Valk in gives us something, but nothing that I really care about. Pyro is a character that everyone and their mother sees coming and moves away from.
Tort + MM is a pretty much super fun time lane, and Voodoo + MM will be just cruel as well.
Thinking about it, I think Deadwood is a strong choice. He's a good ganker and can be useful in team fights.
Also going to go with Valkyrie.
I think most people see valk and/or voodoo being available for our last pick which is likely to some degree.
Also the lack of hero icons is starting to get to me...
Why pick Kraken now when he has adequate initiation and two melees already?
