i don't know why anyone thought that NB could take a 5v5 at this point. that fight was over when axe missed the blink call on weaver.

They kind of won that fight, you know.


no that's a won fight

Previous one was won too because buybacks and BS snowball.

Now that one was simply One Punch Man of a fight.

Two years in a row we've seen a young (or mostly young) team come into TI, relatively unknown until right before the event, and stomp over people with good drafting and brilliant teamfight coordination.

Is that just the way to win TI now? If so, why? My current hypothesis is that these younger teams (a) adapt to a new patch faster while (b) not having as many public games played for other teams to reference.

Of course as I type this up, Newbee outfight LFY after stalemating them in the last fight...

LFY was the favourite before this tho, not even remotely close to Wings or DC story

Earth shaker can't just jump in blind like that. Let the NS and Medusa walk in after the fissure conencts.

You know what would redeem the fuck out of this TI? The special exhibition match is a 5v5 with 10 unique heroes

The teams that have an advantage of being kind of unknown quantity in the West were making deep TI runs since god knows when.

LFY's captain has also been around for a long time (ddc), as has Super. Inflame's also been bouncing around in tier 2-3 teams for years

Ok ahfu is the key here, if he gets found is over, Newbee can kite Medusa to the ends of the earth.
And Weaver has no damage to solo the Blood.

This might actually be an Aghs Medusa game. They really need another form of control in the fights.

Inflame has no items to work with. They need to sit behind Super until Newbee has committed 2 heroes before they can show up.

They were expected to be good based on their MDL performance, which to me is very similar to Wings at Manila, but I wouldn't have called LFY a "favorite" before the group stage.
