They're showing what might be best called the "China Problem": they only know how to play against teams in their own scene. The skill is there, but they keep putting themselves in weak positions in the draft & their early has been pretty bad against most teams lately. (Except against Complexity, who they just know how to play against too well.) | ||

This is not the first time Fnatic has ran Medusa TB. They have some form of weird synergy despite both needing farm. Medusa has zero damage early on, and TB has plenty. TB is scared of getting jumped on by AOE/nukes, but Medusa makes you think twice before making any jumps. | ||

SB, ursa, viper were good but never tier 1, next patch is LC + BS first bans maybe? You might also add omni and warlock as noob pub hero who never made it into progames outside of niche drafts. | ||

LOL nice timing I was talking about 15 mins ago when when he clearly missed at least 20 cs for the first 20 mins, not because he couldn't show on the lane. | ||
