But, Newbee's strength is early rotations to allow them to farm, as they're not great farmers. They build an early mid-game lead to then farm. But Newbee drafted no real initiation on Chuan, so EG could outfarm them, then jump their supports.

I wonder why Newbee did not pick lion tbh.


They conformed to the meta by picking ET. Then they wanted a Bat counter. No room for Lion!

I mean, since Azarkon isnt here, what kind of comments would he be saying right now?

Some subtle shot at China being less superior, or USA too great for China go back home. etc etc.

Cmon people help me out here.

I'm not sure they expected Storm. Sumail is super known for it but EG didn't pick it for a long time. And outside of Storm, SD was a super good pick and it covered an other pick that made a lot of sense in TA.

Because EG left ET in the pool. But we've already seen teams come up with counters.

Mirana was the bad ban from Newbee. But Newbee has first pick this time.

And that ppd's team (not EG) always show up for TI, whatever that means.

The azarkon withdrawal is real. Like poison.

Pretty sure he is a Trump voter. One can't blindly hate and not support Trump.

Frankly, potm is the hero you ban if you don't have first pick right now.

Maybe when tournament ends it will be sand king but otherwise.. nah.
