Now for the real deal. Just feels like it happens too early in the tournament.

Like I said earlier, only way Secret doesn't 2-0 is if they got broken by rOtk.

although I guess they could also lose if Burning decides it's like 2009 again.

Happens to rtz all the time in pubs. It's unfortunate, imo it's a risk you need to take, as the chance you lose the item is like 1 in a 100.


its not a risk you take in an elimination match in the international with a 18M prizepool. The small gain you get from efficiency vs the possibility of getting ganked/losing your item isn't even worth it. if you lose an item in a pub who cares, losing an item when you are already behind in the international is a whole different thing

yea, it's not even slightly close to worth, the risk/reward factor is nigh infinite.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

It's hard to say. Like obviously it's a lot of money, but if they did standard stuff, they'd simply lose. They had to do every little thing to gain the smallest advantage, have the stars align, and then just maybe, they could win. Playing normally they simply couldn't.

Its VP, dropping a 3k gold item for a small amount of mana does not increase their likelihood of making a game-throwingly bad mistake, while losing it increases the number of mistakes they can make and still win anyway.

Ok, all Eul's jokes aside, that series was fucking dope.

Not the highest level of games, but lots of comebacks, crazy fights, and fun play.

It doesn't if that's just one time, but there might be another 50x where you drop the item, and it adds up.

I dunno, this occurrence is so rare, that I don't blame him, but oh well. Clearly didn't pay off this time.
