TBH the overall quality of games this tournament has been a bit disappointing.

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.

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.

The very definition of throw. 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

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.

Big God should stay together after DAC!
