Hope Mineski can take the victory, I'm confident they will over LGD, but not so much over VP
I think VP will take this.
Like all the teams left, don't mind whoever wins .... mb slightly prefer VP but that's it, hope to watch a great final!
I'm a VP fan but it would be pretty cool to see SEA win a major too.

The VP most threat, Liquid & Secret already been eliminted by other team, so VP chance of crowning suddenly jumped up high. Mineski easy lost to VP in round robin showed VP laning is a threat to eastern countries.
Ame might have a bad Game 1.
Why would VP ban venge instead of say dark willow?

Venge support buffs up TB with her aura and provides a soft counter to Doom. They also have decent answers to Willow's ultimates (Snowball, Doom, Rage).
VP has quite similar lineup to their last game against TNC, but this time opponents actually have front line and a ton of area control from Dark Willow, Underlord and Disruptor.

It is curious to me how much VP respects Viper. I wish teams would start countering Underlord with Drow.
SEA filthy dark willow spammers. Underlord aura + DK breathe of fire dmg reduction = literally no physical damage.
This is a good draft from LGD.
Sand King rather than Underlord was the mistake in the draft for VP.

I think the Tusk was actually the mistake. He gives you zilch against the LGD cores. VP would've had a much better bottom lane with a stronger 4.
Think tusk doom offlane was supposed to get a lot more against tb dark willow lane.

UL + TB ahead after 20 minutes is extremely close to a locked up game. However, LGD has this weird window. As this goes later and VP gets items, they actually get relatively stronger.

On second though, LGD's draft in general hard counters the melee STR core approach from VP. No[O]ne has had no discernible impact so far.
