6.82 was favoring 4p1 initially much more, mainly because no matter how shit of early game you had, if you squeezed a pick-off or two, you were suddenly even. Add someone who makes use of gold and suddenly you snowball other way around on the back of harder carry. Hell, that was the only reason Spectre shot up in winrate after 6.82.

Selective memory there. They've won plenty with medusa too.

And the only actual impact medusa had in those games was being a bait while everyone else does actual lifting.

Sure, but it is exceptional at doing what it does and it works. Moreover, the games in which she wins are not really that long.

I mean, my point is that the only reason she was working is primarily because of teams being rather stubborn in relation to her.

I'm not sure what that sentence means. My point was to refute the original claim that medusa was a desperation pick in hopes of dragging the game long enough for her to 1v5, when in fact it fits quite well with other compositions as well.

My point is that the only reason this pick works is because teams are actually scared of medusa when she has no dangerous items at all.

Tomorrow, after the scheduled games. It's a short day so they can tack the delayed games on after remaining games.

Seriously

With the item builds I'm seeing on Medusa this tournament she seems like something you can completely ignore for the first like 50 minutes of the game.

so potentially 4 - 12 can still get you into top 12, and since both, MVP and Newbee, still have to play EHOME they can get in front on head-to-head

Actually, to do some justice, Skadi actually had some decent use in VG's game against Navi, mainly because it made landing fire spirits easier. That's about it :D

I recommend you better start fanboying Secret, maybe they will lose a game or two then.

Fair enough. I'm afraid with have some ideological differences on how medusa works, and until we (or maybe just I) see more success/failures of different drafts with/against her, we may have to keep disagreeing.

Why does it matter whether Newbee gets in? They don't understand the game now. They're just going to get rekt in the play offs even in case they squeeze into the LB. There's no Xiao8 to help them this time. And being a five man team that lived and died by the five man in every patch, they're never going to be able to adapt to the brave new world.
