Learn the lore. We both know that VP will win the tournament. They are western at odd TI, and they are in UB. Auto-win, may give them the trophy and the money already.

One of the Western teams can for sure still win it. Not one of Empire/TL though.

Even at TI VP still drafts a lot of different heroes

I mean, I was immediately aware of that since they really screwed up when they portrayed VP exactly the way they asked NOT to be portrayed. I suppose I'm not looking at it as cynically as you.
Also, I'm loving FN and Sumail on the panel. Great insight!

This year is NOTHING compared to the circle-jerk over EG last year. Though I suppose the same thing would have happened again this year too but Valve didn't expect EG to get dumpstered.

They would still be talking about EG. Possibly, really depends on the sort of narrative they wanna setup.

The bears got the bear ez 1-0

VP have picked 13 different heroes in 3 main stage games (2x each SK, Void).
But I think LFY's draft is better if they don't just get run over early.

VP really do love their fight me lineups. This should be great.
