Yup, I think I said earlier picking Magnus is one of the few things that put LGD in an INCREDIBLY awkward position right from there. Xiao8 is such a beast on so many heroes (BM Kunkka Clock to name some) and brings games home, Yao just can't pull the same kind of weight coming from midlane. Either Xiao8 has to step up his Magnus game or they need to just stop fucking drafting it. The latter would be the correct step short term for a tourney like this. | ||

(DEFENDING CHAMPIONS... INVICTUS GAMING!!) To be honest, Valve has really stepped up expectations for big esport events all around (the professional reporter/interviewer, the stage, the production, etc).. makes stuff like MLG and Dreamhack look like they're put on by amateurs. | ||

If anyone remembers, Yao actually played mid and Xiao8 offlane in TI2, then in the earlier months of this year when LGD was really consistent it was Xiao8 in the mid role and Yao offlane. | ||
