VP beats Optic again at a Major or Optic upsets VP and goes to TI8. | ||

Still will root for Optic though, but I don't think VP will gift them games like Fnatic did. | ||

Still will root for Optic though, but I don't think VP will gift them games like Fnatic did. VP is the clear favorite, but I give Optic a 30% chance. Though I expect some unorthodox approaches tomorrow. In a straight Standard Strategy vs Standard Strategy match, VP wins just because their approach will counter Optics. ppd teams have always had issues with extremely early pressure & rotations, but it's normally not in the meta (nor able to pull it off like VP can). I expect 3-man gank squad, early grabs for a Visage and massive vision drafting. Optic's Bloodseeker pick was a prelude to some of the things we can expect. I just expect them not to get rolled over in lanes so hard. Granted, I also think Optic's best case scenario is winning this in 5 games, unless they just figure something about about VP. Or VP was out drinking too much, but they seem really dialed in for this one. | ||
