Not sure what other tournaments VG might consider joining. Maybe one of the chinese ones. I think they're seeded into the VPGame Pro League(I made the LP page but can't read Chinese so it was kind of awkward) thing, so you should see some games from them there once the Chinese c-teams are done.

SL 12 and VPGame champions!

Another win boys

Tournament win it may be, but it felt really business as usual for the team from their demeanour outside of the game to their in-game play.
I mean, barring extreme circumstances VG have their TI invites long-gone secured and they had nothing to prove at SL. At the same time they turned up and performed to expectations, so yay? xD

I think you summed it up perfectly, winning SL isn't all that but at the same time it is a job and they've done their job well.

i'm sure even if they didn't do well on SL they are still gonna get the invites they are far the best chinese team

yeah the other teams weren't that good and the Western meta...

Couldn't watch the later half of the 2nd day or the final day but just got caught up! Wooooo congrats boys!
|
so.......... 6.84!! what do we think about this patch for VG? Seems totally a VG patch tbh, a lot of snowball, aggressions, and killing stuff
|
I think so too, I also hope iceiceice Timbersaw makes a comeback.
Only thing I don't know is who will play Q/E Invoker if it becomes a thing. Super is Q/W, Ice can probably play both but I don't see Hao or Super go offlane to accommodate ice and I have no idea if Hao plays Invoker at all.
|
I have a feeling that VG will be mediocre for a couple of weeks before adjustments are made. While very aggressive, they also play with precision and are always pushing the boundaries of feeding and diving.
Hope I'm wrong though.

fy and ice3 are both very technically sound players so I think the patch will be fine for them. If anything, less creep gold and more hero gold rewards fighting and better technical prowess wins more fights. Ofc, they'll lose those random "oh that hero's actually unbeatable right now" games when new stuff's discovered but I don't think they'll suffer too much, maybe drop some games to iG/LGD.
|
not sure how VG will do with the next patch. theoretically very strong but who knows.
if the same newbee played this patch with the same motivation they would be ti contenders again

i want to see ice3 timber...just nasty

Hao can play invoker but it's not a common hero for him at all, I think it was a QE he played though.

Black^'s Invoker will always remain the best safelane invoker for me, but Hao is generally out of this world as a carry. Let's see how they will stand against TongFu right now.

I remember exactly one, he played QE 1 position voker and the team lost. Datdota seems to agree with me.
Hoping to see the DK-style iceiceice to carryvoker and Hao/super to offlane shenanigans again.

Invoker mid isn't too bad against some matchups these days.
