nice i managed to get back in time after hiking just to watch the championship (also my expected finals)

hopefully VG.J pulls throught right now there are so many teams that are incredibly competitive that if they prevent VP from becoming a juggernaut pre-TI .. the upcoming TI will be amazing to how many teams can take the championship but none is the favorite

Anyone in here thinking VG.J can take more than one game off of Virtus Pro?
They had a great run, for sure, but i do think VP outclasses them in pretty much any category, so the only thing they might have a slight advantage over VP could be "momentum".
WItch Vp has a lot of aswell.

Just opened the stream and i thought games were done cause stream name reads "vp vs vgt (3-0)", clearly production doesn't think they can take a game

This VGJ run looks a lot like VG run in the last tournament 2 weeks ago. To me they seem predictable and not flexible or versatile enough to battle VP, so yeah I agree that VP outclasses them in every category. We will see, it can probably go either ways if VGJ have a good day and are on the roll, but to me it seems that VP will just crush them.

VGJ haven't dewarded the mid ward they clearly saw Solo place. That's a massive misplay, actually. No reason you should let the opponent have wards you know about.

Solo had 3 wards in inventory, they might have not clicked on him before he placed it and when they saw 2 they could've assumed that he didn't place a ward there. Just my guess, or it might be a misplay.

He was my MVP for the Katowice as well and I've voted for him, but oh well, Rodjer won the MVP award in the end.

He is the best mid player by far right now.

VP has been winning throughout the bracket almost all but their mid-game warding. Their dedication to it beyond 20 minutes in the game is the reason they're in the finals and looking to take game 1.

Completly agree!

I think his DP in game 3 vs Liquid was one of the deciding factors why they are here in the Grandfinals!

VP are such an entertaining team when they hit their stride, cores capable of playing anything from any angle.

VGJT really doesn't seem to have any space to do anything. Always feels like VP heroes are wrapping around behind them whenever they try to farm a lane

It's pretty incredible how much pressure VP exerts with Bfury jugg, gyro and tiny as cores.

VP is mass warding starting around 10 minutes. The entire point is to take all of the team fights from 10 min to 20 min, which they can then snowball to a victory.

It's not only that but they also have a really good understanding of what they can do when they show a hero pushing a lane themselves and how they should move with the other heroes to cut the enemy off. For example they have Jugg pushing mid lane to the T2 but the other heroes are moving really deep to catch VGJT if they try to take even one wave on some other lane.

Of course the wards are often needed so you see the enemy going there but not every team can also move fast enough through the right routes to not feed any kills and get constant pickoffs

Seems like the meta this tournament was a lot about these midgame carry heroes, with most teams content to pick up 1-2 of them. But somehow VP was allowed to pick all 3 of the top (IMO), Jugg, Tiny, Gyro. Brew and Luna can't compete. They also have 2 of the best aggressive supports that you can't escape. Honestly this seems like the most meta draft possible from VP

Solution for VGJ is to remove one of Tusk or Disruptor.
And probably not having an offlaner that does nothing at all.

It's not only that, but it's the change VP has made in this Meta to get a decisive advantage. They're also rotating most of the team any time there is a gank attempt, as they have so much of the map visible that they know where the other team is the entire time. VP should have lost Game 2 against Optic and Game 3 against Liquid, but the warding to setup their movement allowed them to come back really hard.

However, there isn't an easy counter, unless the Offlaner goes 2nd item Gem.

I think VP win the second game now, in the third they do some stupid clowny shit draft and lose. And then they win the last one.

Liquid should learn a thing or two from VP. They had aegis and they knew they were ahead. They still kept pushing with ageis juggy at the front but they did not overextend even willing to let the aegis expired but they did still pressure the opponents.

You can't really say that because not so long ago Liquid was another level team, and VP were known as Virtus.Throw because they had amazing early - mid game in almost every game and managed to throw their advantage by overextending.

Although I am very impressed by new Virtus.Pro, ever since Rodjer got in the team, they are still playing that aggressive style that they are loved for but can play very patient game when it is needed.

Damn, didn't think about it, but Morph has so many good targets for ulti here, like all of enemy heroes are amazing. He doesn't even need EBlade, just Morph Pugna, use Decrep + Blast, change to Morph and disintegrate someone. Disruptor for easy Glimpse + Kinetic Field, DK to lower TBs damage and 3 sec stun, ET for lowering TB's armor to 0, and TB for counter Reflection, that also provides his team with ET's aura, it's really good actually.

Not 3-0. I think this next game VP picks something dumb like a dazzle carry, or a slar and lose. Then they get an easy win for a 3-1.

So far every single one of these manager horror stories so perfectly fit with Moonmeander's old rant about Miracle being an odd guy to cater for.

This event has been the least interesting/exciting dota tourney I think I've ever seen. Definitely the least interesting major. One good game in the entire tournament, the TNC v VGJ thunder bo1

Obligatory Liquid vs VP series, especially game 3 where Miracle grabbed VP by the balls.. , and then MindControl let it go.

EG vs Liquid, Liquid vs OG were fun, too.
I think their strategy is to dumpster bad Western teams (c) uriel

I think that this is over, VGJ is way too predictable with their lanes and keep spamming Luna that is so easy to shut down.

Oh dude, you haven't been reading patch notes lately, have you? :D

Since Brood changes where she isn't invisible in the web anymore, she always have unobstructed pathing, which is why she is almost autowin when last picked into lineup with no counters.

this isn't how brood works anymore. She doesn't go invis but does always have free pathing inside her webs.

in 7.07

Spin Web
No longer grants invisibility with a 2 second fade delay.
No longer loses free pathing or halves movement speed upon taking player/Roshan based damage.

Every pro dota team looks kinda bad except VP. Well, they have the most skilled players at the scene atm, that's for sure.

I am really glad that meta changes are ahead, in a hindsight this kind of major was really unnecessary (Swiss System + Dark Willow marketing ploys).

China Dota almost get into final for every Tournament, for the late few tournament

ESL Genting : Newbee (Champion)
ESL Katowice: Vici (first runner up)
This time: VGJ (first runner up)

How can this to be considered as "bad"? What i see is China Dota is very competitive, any team can be in final

EU > CHINA > SEA > NA

as it should be. EU have more players, more tournaments, more teams, more $$

Then TI comes and China will trash everyone.
