I hope at no point in this vg incarnation burning touches the draft. He is way too conservative and lacks balls when drafting in major tournaments.

vici looking scary as hell in the game vs liquid
their draft looks so wonky but all of a sudden huge burst of magical damage and they kill 3, 4, 5 in a row holy shit

Super gets a bit too much hate, he's played better than Burning in the tournament so far and better than iceiceice at TI (and at every single TI since the first one) but after every loss ppl love to blame Super. This is like when rotk used to get trashed constantly by people when he was on DK

I see failfish all around, Super played pretty well give or take. Games where they lost everyone ran around like headless chickens, there wasn't really a single individual who exceptionally underperformed imo.
Edit: I'm over exaggerating obviously, most of their losts came from weird decision making from what I saw, took fights where they should not.

burning was not even bad at this tournament if u think about it except that one ember game where super was like 8th in the networth chart and lost mid heavily..tho,i am not the super hater,but the game against VP was all on him not buying bkb after stealing all the farm on the map..burning was pretty okay,even good in all their games.his gyro,am and ember in game 1 against cdec were by no means fails.VG seems like losing in drafting stage most of the time more than plays.the best example is game 2 against cdec where they didnt had a way against minus armor

i am liking that burning is freeing his lane after early game for supports and ganking around the map.

Have they used the Alch/Morph/Undying draft in NYC so far? I wasn't sure if that was a serious draft they were trying to bring into the meta or if it was a for-fun draft they'd only play in a non-LAN environment. Or maybe the answer is actually much simpler, Super is drafting and he just really enjoys playing Alchemist.

There have been a lot of bans coming out on Undying / Alch vs Vici which is why that combo isn't getting used at NYC.

Well, second is a decent place to finish, but a shake up is probably necessary or VG will just stagnate.

As much hate as Super is getting-- he's just in a difficult position because of the lack of help he gets. Fy is too greedy as a support-- sometimes it works out and sometimes multiple lanes are lost. While Black is considered the mini-Burning, I feel like Black has superior mechanics and laning, so he wasn't babysat as much. As of right now, the enemy offlane gets way too much and Super gets pressured mid.

There's not much time to do anything for the Major, but I would like to see VG switch things up afterwards. I know it's blasphemy, but maybe they can experiment with Fy core and work in Zyf somewhere. Their SL12 form was really incredible, and I hope VG can get back to where they were.

Super is indeed getting too much hate, but comparing him to newer generation mid players like w33, sumail, maybe, most would say that super would at most break even with them. Adding this alongside fy's greed its usually 2 lanes lost as iceiceice would usually end up getting sacrificed while fenrir goes to babysit burning(this is if fy goes jungle). Then from there VG plays the catchup game using superior plays, which if fails loses them the game.

This is made even worse when their drafts are becoming questionable. I'm not sure what kind of shake up does VG need though.

1st large tournament with Burning at safelane and you guys are already talking about a shake-up?

Come on, this team placed 2nd and gave Secret (the team in the best recent form) a decent run in the finals. Any talk about roster changes is just a massively silly overreaction.

Heh, yeah. But it's disconcerting when there are multiple games where VG just gets run over, something that rarely happens in the previous iterations of VG. The old adage that it's difficult to out-execute VG simply doesn't exist anymore.

Its a mixture of how good Puppey is and how fucked up VG's plan was that equals those stompy games. Puppey abuses other teams mistakes very well and there is no recovering from that. When Tiny just started destroying the SF you knew it was going to be over.

I'm guessing VG didn't plan on Tiny being picked mid and the slardar tiny combo +bh secured their mid game so hard. Then you had AM who was getting out of control to seal the deal.

VG and all of China is probably going to have roster changes around lunar new year anyways.

VG needs to be on the lookout for a new prodigy mid. Since consistency just isn't enough when you want to be champs. Look at what happened to CDEC at Ti5. Not getting the most out of mid makes the game so much harder.

Same old problem with Vici. They need to fix their drafts. I'd say while fy chokes alot in drafts, at least his is much better than super's.

I'd said it before, but Vici will never win ti with super. He has his games, but there's also many where he fucks up mid hard. Consistently inconsistent. It is a joy when he is on song, but it becomes a feeling of routine/inevitably whenever he plays badly.

pretty ridiculous to see people are trying to scapegoat by saying burning doesnt fit..i mean no carry player fits any team .it's just that how whole team synergizes with each other and adapt according..and so far,it is more of burning adapting to VG style rather than VG adapting to him..about 80% of the games at NYC ,burning came to fight early to set the tempo of the game when super lost his lanes.and at 20% of the games VG were so far behind that noone could carry them to victory like that DP game where he tried to carry the game but a single core slark can't do much against a monster farmed am..

the hate/blame certainly feels like another scapegoating attempt for super getting outdrafted in atleast 3 games of grand finals..and yeah,Yj would have also done same thing at burning's place..what do u expect when ur rest of the team has soo far behind?jump into 5 heroes mindlessly?stop saying aggressive word if u thing aggressive means jumping like retard under enemy towers

According to sgamers,
Burning have a tradition of downgrading his mid player.
It starts with super on DK 2012-2013, super used to be DK's counter-part of 430 and Mu, and considered as the most talented of the three.
Then Mushi in DK 2014, turning the almighty M-god in TI3 into, well, what he is right now.
And 430 in IG this year, you can clearly find that 430 can no longer dominate the mid as much as he was.
Now super has to be burning's mid player for the second time, you can expect what is happening to him.
