vp actually would have won this game in 15mins because they'd pick silencer over viper


Just don't see the point in safelane Viper. Especially on s4.

Viper allows supports to pressure elsewhere (bane mid, dazzle top) while allowing to retaliate if BH commits too hard, which happened.


I understand that, but it forced Secret into trying to capitalize within a very small timeframe. Additionally it didn't deal well with Phoenix either, so a support had to come back to the lane anyway.

We saw it was doable, it was just an incredible hard to execute line up imo, the highground fight in the dire jungle was enough to swap the game around.

Secret deviating from their usual drafting pattern. Interesting. Maybe that loss actually shook them.

This year is going to go the same way as last year. Western teams looking strong only to go crashing out. Like VG and Newbee last year, china has adapted to the meta faster, and their team play will outdo individual prowess.


last year western teams looked good going into ti?

Yea maybe I don't remember right but I'm pretty sure most people thought EG was the sole western hope last year.


And they lost to IG in the last tournament before the big one.

Going into last year, even I thought the West only had an equal shot at taking it.

This year IS different. The West has not lost a single tournament in the last three months. It is going to be a Western year.


last year all western teams were far behind chinese and only EG who was much weaker than they are now had a shot at taking a game off of them.


What? I remember the Americans won an entire tournament with Chinese teams. You don't do that just by being able to take a game off.


this year it is indeed different though, but chinese werent as far behind as you think they were.


We don't know yet. The top 3 Western teams are all still in the tournament. And there's no way the Chinese are so behind that they're behind the bottom Western teams. I never believed that.
