well they did 3rd pick sniper which was incredibly questionable.

While back had issues that game, it was a super hard game for a Sniper (not to mention 3rd pick), new QoP, Clock and SF (with Euls/Blink build) can kill him in a matter of seconds

Not to mention Super was failing left and right with his Axe

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.


Alright... and you are basing it off a bad day... VG is a championship team (RTZ said it himself).

If anything Secret has never taken a series off VG yet. The semi finals will be interesting.

i think that's a horrible way to describe a 3rd pick sniper... like "oh no these 4 heroes from the first phase... these 8 bans... i need sniper now! he's the only hero that works here!"

By the way, why "throw"... ? VG just got outclassed in the mid-to-late game IMHO... :/

Because they had sizeable lead and threw it away. The very definition of throw.


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.

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


That's still not true.

The game can come down to one fight that you can lose without it being a throw.

True, but that game is called an even game, if one fight decides all with both sides having means to win it.

Rather than saying that it's Black^'s fault that VG's late-game is not up to par, I'd venture that VG as a team simply needs someone who can give them better late-game decision making and as of now and the foreseeable future, Black^ is the most expendable out of VG's 5 players.

Fy & Fenrir are kings of early-game tempo control and all-round great supports
iceiceice is a great space-maker, huge hero pool; even taking into account his potential to feed, it's hard to find an 'upgrade' in the offlane.

It's really between Super and Black^ atm, and rn it's tipping in favour towards Super with his better past record + recent performances. (and I says this even though it really pisses me off when Super goes sleepwalking in games =-=;
RIP DotA Kings | BurNIng : Mushi : iceiceice : LaNm : MMY!

Black seemingly has issues every game that VG loses.

Maybe Black is the issue himself.

I didn't watch the draft, was Viper banned in that game? I think FY wants the Sniper to bully the SF, but if that is the case, then a viper would have done the same thing, and can stand toe to toe with Secret's cores in the late game too.

It still stands that new Secret has never played a series with VG.

we can't tell yet .. if Secret DAC then it's safe to say they are the best team in the world now . They still have to prove themselves througout the playoffs and against VG/EG.

Black has reach his peak now and his peak form with communication issue won't elevate VG to top 3 or 5 finish in TI5.

i could probably list a bunch of black heroes that would be better than either sniper or viper there, but at this point it's all pointless theorycrafting
