Salve vs mango spam. Both mids low on NW.

Last 3 fights from Secret were really bad. Kunkka hitting Egg, didn't use Ghost Ship in last 2 fights for some reason, I just don't know what they are doing.

Good to see Shadow Demon, he is one of the best hero right now in my opinion.

He is quite underrated, with the latest changes he hard counters a lot of heroes that relies on dispellable buffs, I guess we will see more and more of him in the next tournaments.

Don't know about that Phoenix pick, except for him they don't have enough AoE for CK, and he is quite unreliable when played as support.

As a CK picker, playing against Phoenix is worse than about anything save for agh-medusa. Go into demo, get items for 5k hp (not uncommon with armlet+heart+1/2 more items) and have a lvl 7 max sun ray phoenix channel it on him and you'll see why. You need like 2/3 of a sun ray channel to kill 5k hp illus. On top of that spirits are AoE and kills your DPS, and on top of THAT, illus cant kill the egg.

There a reason phoe is where he is on this list: https://www.dotabuff.com/heroes/chaos-knight/counters
Its like the least known counter to CK, but its absoutely amazing.

And tiny+OD are legit heroes against him too..... this wasnt the game to bust out CK.

Secret started the event 3-0 and then went 1-5 in the remaining games assuming VG wins this

I know, I mean I have CK flair, trust me CK is my most played hero haha, but even though Phoenix is amazing against CK when he is played as support and doesn't have great game he feels like a piece of paper, he is usually underleveled and dies too fast in team fights. Though that didn't happen in this game as Secret lost all of their lanes and fucked up few team fights hard, they are playing from behind whole game, and Phoenix here feels more like a core.

insane performance by VG

they basically started losing hard once patch 7.12 hit, I think they tried too hard to figure the patch meta, fumbles, and never quite recovered

Secret screwing up the reverse-TI status for china.

Looks like VG is the "liquid" for this tournament

same stuff as so many commentators are calling them "VC"... it's "VG" guys... at least they are getting that one right this time.

They are not calling them VC, but Vici, short of Vici Gaming.


Not sure I agree with that pronunciation either...

Depends on what they intend "Vici" to mean here.
I was told it's from "veni, vidi, vici" - in which case pronouncing it "vidgi" would be the correct way (more or less, if you want the proper lating it would even be "viki"), and that sounds the same as VG as well.

If it is supposed to mean something completely different, I'm wrong I guess
