MVP being so limited to always playing aggressive is losing them this game, I think. Instead of trying to take it slow when things went sour, they kept hunting for kills and it didn't work, and also fed kills in the process. Boring as it may be, I think sitting back and letting the opponents come to you is the right play there, especiallly when you have a combo as good as MVP does. Basically this game is the Dota 2 equivalent of beating your head against the wall, which then again I guess is the very definition of MVPs style.

Still showing some signs of life in that fight but I don't think they can win this game. Would love to be proven wrong though, since few teams are as fun to watch.

Just noticed that team secret got $30k for winning one game, which is the highest amount per game won of any team except for the finalists.

LOL, that's a really good way of spinning it.

While I agree that MVP would be a better team if they knew how to play a good defensive game, I don't think this is a draft where sitting back and not fighting was going to do them any good (1-pos Slardar and TA are not heroes who sit back and farm). They just needed to fight better.

I 'd say 5% is more accurate

well they played it slow in terms of letting get TA get Deso + BKB and they tried making some ganks possible but LGD reacted great. SO now the situation looks rather dire. Can't see how they want to deal with this Jugg/Invoker

ok, i think if MVP can hold the next aegis push from LGD without losing another rax and with TA only dying once its 50/50 again.

A team at this level drops a 15k gold lead less than 1 in 20 games.

1% is a more reasonable estimate.

QO needs to progress. If he keeps dying and not getting kills, MVP is gonna go nowhere because we're past the point where TA can solo-carry. The other cores' progression needs to pick up.
