So DK was the pick that complements support NP. VG is lacking a proper frontline initiator to engage cleanly.

Liquid played heroes that can slow the gank train of VP, it was pretty smart drafting in retrospect.

At least NA is still better than SA

Good joke. Even both NA teams at this tournament put together wouldn't form a complete NA roster. SA teams have pride at least.

I think VP just played completely complacent and gave most of their objectives without trying to contest(they literally gave two raxes before contesting)

Game two on the other hand was just liquid drafting better with tanky cores and VP having only single clear damage dealer which was TB. Puck can only do so much

Can you guys give me a bit more information about the radian/dire winrate discussion?

Radiant seems to have an advantage. How is this coming? Better jungle design? I have also +5% winrate on Radiant.

Also: Who chooses the sides? The team with the better group stage?

Apart from the radiant/dire ratio being like 12:2 or something this playoffs.

I suspect it's the angle of initiation. It's weirdly much harder for dire than radiant

It is a fairly small sample size and looking at how the big stomps the games were it is hard to make a good judgement from the data

it's a good slark game i think .. enemy lineup being batrider/wd/sk as the only slark control which is kinda decent for slark and linkens can make it already impossible not to mention the omni pick

the cores are TB and TA which slark are both good against

It's just the playoffs data i have no idea where the +5% winrate for most radiant heroes is from

Slark was a pretty popular counterpick against TB when TB first came to CM after TI4. I remember some EG vs c9 games where EG ran some Zeus+Slark against c9's TB spam
