that's the crux with these timing strats. hesitation kills you, overextension kills you.

You need to find the perfect balance. So far LGD is on course (but just barely). But one bad team fight and LGD is in big trouble, especially because Hao is doing pretty darn well so far (just another failed gank on him, they are not pressuring him enough).

Right now it seems like they are too hesitant, allowing VG to get some pick-offs, allowing Hao to farm. They need to put in a lot of work in the next 5-10 minutes or VG is going to be favored to win this game.

VG is slowly but surely clawing their way back.

xiao8 knows how to beat ppd.

honestly if LGD wins this, its their tournaments to lose. I can see xiao8 figuring out CDEC.

Hao's PL is slippery as fuck.

Xiao8 has been trying to find him for 10 minutes.

I wonder if the long time to pick Razor last game was because Hao didn't want the hero. It almost seems that way given how he's played game 1 and 3, but how poorly he did game 2. His heart just didn't seem in it the same way game 2.

is EG guaranteed at least third? They play winner of this for third place, and winner of EG vs VG/LGD will be playing in GF right?

Ok, I know VG and LGD is on right now. But I didn't finish watching the rest of the EG games, just early part of game 1. WTF happen in game 1? They look like they were so far ahead with Sumail in a demanding lead.

I think they were gonna have razor mid, but changed their mind or trying to be cute and outsmarted themselves.
