Way to misjudge what people are actually saying. It's not turtling, it's using what your line up is good at instead of doing things that your line up isn't designed for. They to try to burst heroes in the mid game when they have no damage then get destroyed cause they used all their spells. On the other hand if they didn't try to engage and Secret tried to engage, one song, global silence, and/or stone gaze then their initiation is broken.

The main difference between VP and EG/Secret is that when they have the strategic advantage especially a defensive one, they are patient enough to wait for their opponents to fall into their trap then punish. If VP never forced an engagement Secret has to go look for them cause they can just let Medusa get enough damage. Sitting Naga behind Medusa was pretty much auto disengage every time at least for 10-15 more minutes.

If VP wants do fight mid game then they should draft accordingly but that was poor execution of draft not a fundamental problem with the draft.

Pretty much.Secret wasn't even playing well, their attempts at forcing engagements all failed in the early game and maybe that made fng misjudge their position and try that retarded play, but I'm just gonna call it cis doto because they deserve the flak every time.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

He's fun, I like him too. Not a completely angel of a soul, but he's honest, and brings interesting information.

I think switching captains mid tournament would be disastrous.

People being themselves isn't admirable unless who they are has merit and they face consequences over it. So I really don't understand this sentiment.
