Fact is that they've been playing the same 3,4 heroes in all the tournaments they won: SF,QOP,TUSK,AM,DAZZLE. Secret are basically these heroes, EHOME as Rotk said just watched all their replays and figured them out. They're kinda fucked

Train all day + watch every replay of your opponent. If western teams weren't doing this they're pretty much done.

This is why EG > Secret.

PPD drafts are smart and strategic, secret just picks random heroes that players feels confortable with.

Maybe, just maybe, this had to do with cockiness, and the loss will have slapped some sense into Secret.

EDIT: But seriously, I hope EG loses because this outcome has just resulted in a bunch of people gushing about all the ways EG is better than Secret and it is really annoying.

RotK apologizes for TI4 finals! Balance has been restored.


I mean if people had to be mad at one of the teams, it couldn't possibly have been the winners. VG did block both the eastern and western fan favourites last year. If we had a DK vs EG lower bracket final, we were guaranteed a good final regardless who came out of that match to challenge Newbee.


I think VG could have made for interesting finals if they had been willing to be adaptable or more flexible in strategies instead of running the same losing one over and over.

Giving up Gyro for SF + Dazz seems to be not working. Secret can make a good lower bracket run, if they start actually drafting again,
So zen.

I'm so sad for this Empire vs MVP . I want both teams to advance, I wish one of them could play C9 instead.

We can talk a lot of stuff regarding EHOME vs Secret, but one of the casterts/analysts said something like: "Secret trust themselves too much on outplay their opponents". I think this is probably their top weakness

Secret does have their own PPD; but they didn't use them the first game and then lost their mind the second game.

Well, Secret allowed them to get three teams in the first six. Hope our American boys don't do the same. Fuck Secret though, why did play so bad today?



They are not very good compared to Ehome as the games obviously showed

Come on you are a big boy you can analyze this much at least

Let's forget 3 months of dota following a bo3.
