Team Liquid players Markus Folke “Ace” Helgaard Christensen and Erik “tOfu” Engel suggested several hero combinations for the mid lane on the team’s YouTube channel.
tOfu: Combo number one—simple to execute but very strong: Rubick and Centaur Warrunner.
Ace: A mega-combo. Rubick harasses well and can lift the target so that Centaur Warrunner can then stun it. They have a good range to catch anyone who gets too close to Centaur Warrunner. Works well throughout the game, strong in the lane, and scales well. A stable duo.
Ace: I think Techies is in great shape in the current patch; he’s very strong, and Magnus is decent on his own, but together they become very powerful.
tOfu: A classic. Everyone has seen it somewhere before—there’s constant danger across the map: mines are placed in unexpected spots, and Magnus has a Blink Dagger. No one feels safe—boom. And it’s also a lot of fun to play.
tOfu: A ranged hero for a difficult lane: Phoenix, who is very strong right now and is a meta hero. And we pair him with a melee support—it can vary, but Tusk is very strong right now. They make for a strong lane, with plenty of stuns and crowd control, all facilitated by the Black King Bar. It’s a duo you can throw into almost any game.
Ace: Tusk has a passive ability that reduces attack speed, which Phoenix really likes—it’s an extra nice synergy effect.
