Exactly. This was some seriously terrible decision making by VG, they totally threw this game. It was not on secret, this game is on vg
Why are my allies so weak and pathetic?

VG are incapable of playing lategame dota, they just stop functioning as a team and even as players. Last fight of the game Morph had both waveform charges but for some reason he tried to walk away while his BKB ended, completely tilted.

Early and midgame, sure. If they don't win by 35 minutes then they'll just lose no matter who is against them

Morph died twice outside their base while they had a clear advantage in a matter of two minutes. The first time was simply overagressiveness (paper form Morph) and can happen. The second time was just mindboggling. Not only was the desicion to buy back to turn the fight away from their base highly risky, but he also should have simply used the escape mechanism (wave form) he did have.

I actually thought that Secret´s desicion to go on Morph instead of DP (safe kill) was not the smartest one as Morph should have escaped.

I like Secret. I actually want them to win here, but I also have a hard time believing that they would still be in this series vs. any other top calibre team.

I think VG are good, but their mindset was not in the proper place during the last parts of this game. It seemed to me that since they were dominating and leading the series they thought that they could just do whatever the fuck they wanted and still win. Apparently you have to play the game until you win, you cant just check out mentally and then expect to get a w

Meepo vs Arc Warden. Perfect way to end Captain's Draft.
Average means I'm better than half of you.

I think Eleven's item decisions partially doomed VG here.

The Solar Crest was useless. Secret has so much magic damage that they don't need to prioritize physical DPS before the 30 minute mark. Should've went Blink immediately or Necro.

You are obviously one salty Secret hater, Sir!
This game is about towers and the Throne, not kills and fancy play.
