Don't be so certain, Secret still don't look like actual chokers, even though their play was... questionable in first half of the game.


Quite a few games now they have been rather questionable early game. It's just that no one has really punished them for it.


Uh... EVERYONE has punished them for it. That's how their early game is 'questionable' in the first place.

They make comebacks during the mid and late game because they outplay their opponents during those stages. They are punishing their opponents for THEIR weakness.

4 days later: every team playing against Secret picks Lycan DP/Razor Bristle Rhasta Chen

EDIT: changed pugna to proper hero

So in the playoffs, first place in groups gets to play 8th? then 2nd plays 7th? 3rd-6th and 4-5?

Yeah, after Chen died to the gank bot and the rest of the team followed in one by one after their deaths, I thought that was an advantage VG really needed to seal the deal on, could have gone greedier and take the bot T2 and Rosh. Its too much for sniper this game. Whether its just black or VG needing to draft better around and for their main carry, some things have got to change going into the playoffs.

You can lose your lead without "throwing" you know...
And seriously, I don't think VG just went from playing well to playing completely bad tbh.

Then we have completely different definitions of good play.

they weren't really that ahead .. the killscore is misleading when the fights have almost gone for the favor of secret most of the time

and rtz and s4 was still farming well

Ok, if you lose it in rather bursty manner, it is a throw, if you slowly lose it, that's outplay/outdraft

i mean earlygame aside, that draft was hard to execute in terms of closing out a game, they had to snowball very cleanly without messing up anywhere, kind of like c9 vs ig but not as extreme

In theory, yes. In practice, it greatly favors Secret. VG has shown themselves to be chokers when they're challenged to the core of their being by opponents of equal/greater caliber.
