Just need to wait for that 30% cooldown reduction talent to come in, then the build is surely GG.

Okay, maybe the play is to delay for another 60 minutes so Sumail can sell his items and buy real ones.

Don't think that caster sf build was the way to go for this game...

[Edit]

Seems like there will be 9 series. Any idea why kinguin has to play twice, instead of having 1 series from each group???

Perhaps some teams are arriving late, and they happen to be in the same group?

Build isn't bad at all, it can do a ton of work later in the game with that 40% cd reduction talent that SF has, but playing against tanky heroes that have Pipe and Rubick on their team should tell you that this build isn't the way to go.

I think they want to end one of the groups on day 2 already because there are potential tiebreakers that have to be played. If they played 1 game from each group every day, they could get unlucky and have tiebreakers for all groups on the last group stage day.

And I don't believe the house has space to play more than 1 game at a time so it could be a disaster for the schedule

No, it is bad. Magic damage SF is legit, but going full retard on it with Kaya and Octarine is the dumb part. Dendi does magc sf often, and it works well for them. But he builds actually useful items, last example is against LGD he made blink, bkb, eblade, hex and it was awesome.

I just got the memo the format was that all 3 games would be played. Sounds like a great way to maximize screentime and show us more games. :D At first I thought it was a Bo3, and was amazed VP was able to 3-0 someone.

thought it would be way easier than that, if they just pushed the lanes out the game wouldn't of even been close
morph did well with the split push, crazy hero this patch

Im not sure if they could have pushed the lanes anyway. Is really hard to split vs Puck, Nyx and a BoT Morph, and they didnt have a single hero that could have survived an encounter vs two of these.
However I agree with you in morph "versatility" with just a linken+aquila he can push as fast as AM, and do more building damage that 7.0 Clinkz ratting build, being as safe as a Puck with blink eul and "tanky" as Medusa, like really?
