People expect Secret to win or compete to win in every tournament, and until recently people basically expected Empire to get to the LANs and lose. Edit: also, I think VG is generally thought of as a better team than iG. Hell, I know even after D2CL, I still think of VG as the best team in the world. | ||

Secret wins a LAN: "that doesn't count, still n00bz" Haters gonna hate. Good job boys, I can't wait to see the VODs (only managed to watch the first game before I went to sleep). Next stop: The Summit  | ||

 But I have to ask something: All games won by Secret had ppy on Dazzle And I noticed one thing: Instead of using his Ulti on their own heroes, espacially for supporting going high ground, ppy always used it offensively on the "barracks" and catchin 2-3 enemy heroes to get their armor down! I think that made a huge impact in the first game and their single target burst (drow-visage combo).Is it just me, or is that a quite rare (but powerful) usage? Like I said, normally they use it to buff themselves! Or is it just depending on team composition? Didn't see the other two games, if ppy did this too... | ||

But I have to say the production for the final seemed great both for spectators and the people at the venue. I hope in the future Redbull does bigger events, the "only 1 team from each region" isn't really ideal for doing very competitive events. Although this time I guess it was even worse than it needed to be due to EG skipping the event and HR winning the CIS qualifier and then having to attend with a standin. The win over iG probably gives Secret a nice boost in confidence going into the Summit. iG and Secret meet on the first round of their group again, interesting to see how that game turns out. | ||

VG also diddnt practice (accoring to ice3 iirc) before winning some tournament. Or old boys. Therefore bootcamping equals loosing. | ||
