The moment iceiceice went in, Xiao8 cancelled everyone's blinks on VG. It made it such that they could not go on anyone on the back lines. That being the case, they had to run at the backlines whilst Burning slows them down with his Skadi. They were being kited very heavily and had no opportunity unless they came from behind. But that was not happening because BG would just turtle in their base. So yes, the draft played a big part. But VG played bad too. They had too little mobility. Western teams beat Medusa by picking mobility heroes eg Lycan, Storm, etc. and then coming in from all angles to kill the supports. To their credit, BG picked a Void to prevent exactly that, but with only a Skadi Medusa for damage they ought to not have been able to kill people in Chrono. VG just played too cocky, especially SF towards the end. Black also wasn't very useful that game. And Medusa isn't THAT auto-win late game. I think I saw a fully farmed Medusa get demolished by Pugna in one of the recent tournaments. Forget which one. No matter how farmed Medusa is, at the end of the day she is one hero with a five second BKB and not even an illusion hero. There are tons of ways to keep her irrelevant in a fight. Cyclone, hex, decrepify, disarm, eblade, it all works provided you have a plan. VG didn't. | ||

But its Xiao8, the master of the draft, we are talking about. Also Western teams have been losing to Medusa too. Secret almost lost against Newbee (rofl). VG had a plan. That was to win early and shut him down. But fy's unnecessary feed to medusa in the bottom lane was the comeback factor. | ||
