I think PPD did a good job of dismantling Secret's usual draft style; with the QOP and SF bans and picking heroes that wreck Bristle IO.

Secret: PL Safe TA Mid Undying, Tusk, KOTL Offlane
EG: CW Off Lesh Mid Sven Lion Safe Roaming BH
Started off rough for EG with their safelane getting dominated, but at the same time Uni was getting equal farm to PL top and Lesh was crushing TA.
Lesh got like a 7:30 Euls and snowballed, BH got a shit ton of bounty gold in the early-mid game and became massively farmed, TA did nothing all game, Sven got carried back into the game and ended up being a monster.

--> I don't think she is going to be a common pick.

Obligatory reminder that Naga is a hero with one of the highest starting stats n the game and one of the best level1 nukes, that has downside of being de-facto melee (nuke i mean).

Agreed, looking very much to it.

EG/Secret is easily my favourite matchup at the moment. Really hoping that is TI finals.

I'm sure EG's bungled tournaments having nothing to do with the fact that the teenage kid on their team was having end of year finals and the team literally wasn't practicing. I'm equally sure the team doesn't look better now because finals are over and the team is practicing now.

While that may or may not be true, lets not try and make excuses for previous poor performances.
