I expect VP to win, but I'm really pulling for Pain to win today.

Great team fight from Pain , lets see if they can actually find those big fights early on , not sure how VP takes those team fights early without the big items.

huge disrespect from VP. Solo and pasha kill hfn then immediately tip him

only for him to kill both of them less than 30 seconds later. Really rooting for Pain now!

At TI6, when Mirana was meta, one game ppd pretty much lined the entire Radiant bot T1 all the way to the Dire base with sentries. Solo wasn't dropping that many, but it was pretty close.

it looks like the easiest thing when VP just stand their ground as 5 as soon as they have the upper hand number wise. pain goes in as 3 or less, have to throw their spells and ultis in just to try to save rax. VP had nothing to fear.

VP reads the game faster, they know what they want to do earlier. Pain was left in the dust once the decisions were harder to take.

Hahah what the hell are you even talking about, this whole tourney all players have been tipping enemies when they kill them or outplay them or something, "huge disrespect"... VP did it, Mineski did it, Optic did it, Pain did it... they are just having fun and taunting a bit, it's not something that shows disrespect...

I wouldn't fret too much. Pain vs Mineski yesterday was a tipfest on both sides, so I would guess both teams know to take it as playful and not disrespectful
