The one thing that really stands out in their matches against Secret and VG are how much Sumail heroes were targeted during bans, and how useless that was.
Average means I'm better than half of you.

I'm a pretty useless drafter but yeah the QoP ban in particular stuck out to me as really strange both at the time and especially now with ppd highlighting it

obviously Sumail's particularly scary on a few heroes like Storm but he has a deep enough hero pool and he's a strong enough player that with EG committing to helping him mid he's gonna make big plays in the midgame regardless of hero

I'd guess that banning supports like chen to prevent them from helping out sumail would have been more successful. Although games like his storm game G3 vs VG show that even shutting him down hard early game isn't necessarily a game winning strategy

He said they changed their mindset to optimistic and positive instead of pessimistic after losing 0-2 to VG in UB. I knew Aui could melt the hearts of EG.

Sometimes its not about the heroes, but the fact that having people of lingod tier play anything else is often a worse alternative than picking viper
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

As much as i don't like viper

The hero is a good right clicker that can kite melee cores and is tanky. He is like BB in a sense.

The key to viper in pro lineups is mainly the following
1. literally cant lose lane if you're better than hard bot
2. deals damage and slows even if feeding
3. has 1 active skill for button-challenged individuals

perfect for lin/way2 tier players
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

Somehow singsing can suck at that hero those. Singsing is probably a different tier altogether.

Looks like PPD may be casting the Secret vs. Empire series in DotaPit at 2:00pm EST. Definitely tuning in to hear what he has to say, should be an awesome series anyway. Arguably the best two teams in Europe?

Despite sucking ass, C9 are definitely still in the top-2 eu discussion.

however, ppd casting sounds like it would be worth tuning in for for sure
