Truly a shitshow today. MC was a non-factor in both series, feels like he is getting to much sacrificed in the games, don't know how often in this tournament, he was at the bottom of the network charts after the laning phase. Maybe the amount of games was finally exhausting them. Hopefully they will recover till next qualifiers.

This years True Sight made one thing clear. You just cna not rely anymore on your carry "feelings" for the game. The players are so evenly matched that these days its all about strategy.
So we saw haw OG have a plan for every game, even "we just run at them" is a better strat than - try and farm BKBs and win. Actually Nigma are doing this for years - and its a good strat usually - just split cores, farm one dies others keep farming. But sometimes they get stomped so hard that they look silly. And seems like they are unable to see the difference when they could continue that strat or when they should sit behind a core and bait, trying to take a fight and come back this way.

Especially game two showed me how underprepared Nigma were (are?). Coments like - TA, Tide we win, or Who picks Monkey King mid - its just bad. And then getting stomped hard mean that there is something major missing there. Also i am very very dissappointed by w33, he doesn't bring anything to the team as knowledge. And thats very very important. Having a game plan is essential most games in the past year or two are won during the draft. And shit like pick this hero coz its good this patch are just not good enough - you should have a strategy prepared for every situation - opponent going to aggressive in the first 1-2 picks, then we do this or this, opponent goint way too greedy - then we punish them by that strat, oppponents are going for a lot of sustain - then we do this, things like that. Studying opponents is very very important. We can just see the difference in the drafts and strategy with Heen and now..
And they made it extra hard on them by starting a new ORG, as thats time wasted in management instead of watching replays and studying the game.
So if Nigma don't change their approach to the game they will fail.

I cheer for OG, but feel that blaming W33 for takling there own draft up and OG's downis wrong. I remember Ceb takling about how OG did some thing semilar during TI8 and it's simply about you as a team need to go into a game feeling confident. If you feel u lost the draft you half way lost the game. It can look stupid viewing back, but if u think W33 should have said MK is going to crush is better i disagree.
