lol, yeah sure. plz stop making excuses for ehome and secret. mvp outplayed them both...
I'm not making excuses for the losers. I'm just stating facts. Those were terrible drafts by Ehome and Secret.
I know how good MVP is. As I have mentioned a few posts above, MVP is more than capable of taking down any team when they can play their game. So don't take it that I'm being biased or negative because I'm just being objective.
then make you argument more clear. when you write it like that, it sounds more like mvp only won because of the draft.
Regardless of whether EHOME and Secret weren't playing serious, not drafting well or whatever, it's a welcome surprise to see MVP take top in the group people expected them to bomb out.
QO made 8k on China servers btw. Hope MVP gives their best against LGD today.
I knew having all Korean speaking players was very helpful :D. I love Jerax, Nutz but having that small language barrier isn't easy to overcome on that level. I heard that the original hot6/Phoenix split was due to different opinions about how the games should be played. Forev, MP, and QO are all the top mechanically gifted cores in Korea, I bet it is not easy to keep all those players happy. Despite March and Heen being amazing players and great teammates, Forev and Dubu improves the team's skill level significantly. I've been waiting for the day that they combined all the talent and put aside their egos. Keep working hard guys I know you guys can reach tier 1 status.
lol apparently LGD's manager overheard QO talk privately with an ex-Rave player in an elevator and claims he heard QO say, "Tomorrow LGD easy game" which got the Chinese community all upset and salty.
QO's prediction came true. It's going to be interesting to see how well MVP fare against a top Western team like EG, OG, Alliance or Liquid. I don't feel the Chinese were playing to their top level or drafting appropriately. They might be a bit predictable after six games and being studied intensively.
I kind of disagree with the analysts, they focused too much on LGD bad drafts/plays, but never talked about how well MVP played, Qo's invoker was amazing, hitting almost every EMP/Tornado combo the whole game, support duo was always behind their cores, backing 'em up every time things went wrong. All the fight they took were favorable, and the most impressive part, it's QO being able to control his aggression and didn't over-extended once (well not until the game was pretty much secured), it's a huge surprise to see their progress.
While in game 1 LGD draft was weak, in game 2, MVP outplayed LGD plan and simple.
As a former MVP fans from SEA region myself, I have to admit that MVP is in a far better condition than they have ever been before. Even though their strategies are all about early aggression and stable teamfights, they manage to execute these plans almost flawlessly, even some of my friends said that 'wtf is LGD doing?' Actually, it is not LGD who is bad, it is just MVP currently who is 'rekt'ing everyone. As long as the captains at Shanghai fails to find a weakness in either MVP's draft or their laning strats, unless MVP throws (which I don't think is very much possible), MVP will be the winner in this 2nd major.

Best in SEA boys. MVP diversified a bit with the Spectre pick so that's a good sign. EG's a real tough uphill battle but I know they'll give it their best. This might actually mean MVP is the best Asian team lel.
