I know Synd wants to be a pro player, but man do I miss him + Tobi

DK couldn't even scratch anyone with dragonform against crimson. good old desperation smoke.

dOGshit as usual. really only got through this far because of the format. I would say I hope this is a wakeup call for them but they've already gotten enough of those at this point.

Fnatic are clearly the better team, dunno what happened 1st game...

That was a Fnatic win from minute 1. GG
|
I was worried after the game 1 loss, but I am so glad Fnatic won, now it's time to take out another OG!
|
damn universe, what a player
|
Fnatic was solid this series, deserved

It's simple, OG played better in game 1, just like Pain played better in 3 out of 4 games against Liquid.

can't really argue against it. dodging liquid completely in group into losing both bo1's in the first place decider.
they still play completely crazy drafts and with those role switching and what not. atm you just have to say that their strategies and comfort on certain heroes are not good enough for T2+

Well, tomorrow is going to be dang interesting. VP vs SA's VP imitation in the first series, then Optic vs Fnatic with TI direct invites riding on the line.
Oh, and someone needs to play well enough to win a Mercedes. With VP only playing 5 games so far, my current vote for MVP is Tavo from Pain. Though Noone should probably win from VP's side, if they win the tournament.

I should watch the beginning of game 1 again but not sure how significant the first minute was. Sometimes it's easy to underestimate how much lanes can change depending on some small things. OG smoked and caught PLD for the first blood, and they also spotted his ward and gave the money and xp to s4. The lanes probably could have gone a bit better for Fnatic without that start, which would have allowed them to make some plays earlier. Now they were constantly on the back foot in that game
In general in this event all of Fnatic's losses have come from drafts being a bit weak for lanes / them playing the lanes a bit poorly.

Things looking scary for vgjt. They need every single series to go their way to retain their invite spot.

That's slightly over-exaggerating since pain-vp doesn't matter at all to them, but yes they need optic to beat fnatic then lose in the finals.
That said, there's always the supermajor, which neither fnatic nor optic will be attending (but vgjt will be). So they certainly have outs even if fnatic or optic pass them.
Also the 3rd place decider won't matter to vgjt either, since fnatic need 2nd place to pass them and optic need first.
|
Oh wait pain can't get an invite because they got w33? Right. In my head VP-pain mattered because pain would also overtake vgjt if they won the tournament.
That does make it better for them, but it's still two series that absolutely need to go their way. And while they do still have the supermajor coming up, it's hard to fancy their chances there.

Honestly I'd be disappointed if the top 8 didn't change somewhere in the final 2 majors
