One thing that has "always" triggered me when watching pro games with Dusa is that most throw the snake directly at the target instead of letting it bounce first for more damage. I know it may sometimes be risky to not use it on the target they wanna damage/kill, but many times they just pass down on free damage for no reason.

Bouncing snake is fairly easy to dodge. Especially in laning, and you really want the hero+ranged mana steal whenever you cast it.

Ye but when the target is disabled etc, it feels like its basically a no risk play.
Like the panel said it felt like Fnatic should have put WW or NS to help Abed mid. Now the lanes were a big disaster. I felt like later on you could see that Fnatic's heroes weren't that bad and they could take OG on pretty well even when behind but the difference was big enough that they couldn't wipe OG even if they got a really good initiation.

Sometimes it can be like that but in this game it was against Tiny and Invoker so I think BKB is pretty necessary. Also Fnatic wants to start fights by blinking in with DP etc, silencing and killing someone, which won't work if the Naga can always just sleep.
OG's first bans against Fnatic are pretty nice. Fnatic constantly picked their support duo first in the groups and it was mostly Tusk+AA or Rubick+ET. OG taking those away forces Fnatic to do something pretty different
This Weaver is suffering pretty hard in lane. TA is doing great though. 111 cs at 8:30 rofl
Again EE's hero is heavily pressured in lane and is having a hard time
And right as I say that Reso pulls an Aui and dies to ancients as Sven and s4 dies right after to EE
Fnatic hasn't really used Abed's hero at all. He is just farming alone not participating in the game, generally Medusa is great at delaying tower pushes.
Can't watch the finals but smells like a 3-0 or 3-1 for VP. Fnatic is dangerous if they get their picks right but I think VP is more versatile and is likely to get a draft advantage in a few games at least
