Casters are really ragging on VP for not steamrolling the laning stage with a lategame composition? It's not like Optic could have sieged high ground without Aegis and a +10K lead, so VP never let them have both simultaneously.

I don't think Optic is shitty tho, they're constantly improving every tournament, and Pajkatt has come a long way to being a top carry.

what the hell man?

i too dislike ppd (because of his attitude towards pain huge disrespect that time regarding servers)

but Optic seriously deserve their spot in finals

their FORM is very solid, id say they can beat any other team out there besides VP, including PSG.

its no fault of the tournament or anything, dont be so biased

taking out the mighty fnatic gaming in the semifinals of a major is definitely a sign that optic is a top team and not a sign that the format is dogshit. ok

im just saying they have ALL of their players (not just their cores)
very comfortable with good heroes this meta, they have skillful players too

with a few pocket strats and winning comfort drafts

sure one of them is a biased piece of shit, but his team has the makings for it

lets say theyre like VGJT++ (optic is better) back when the patch-meta favors them, its the form of many a TI winners, in very good timing approaching TI too

still mad that EG fucked up in the groupstage?

this game could have gone in both ways btw


optic never pressed their timings and got crushed in the crucial moments, so not close.
but they felt like one of the stronger teams


i expect troll picks now

I was really hoping this would be anything besides a 3-0, but this draft already looks like a VP victory

Well, format and teams were bad (if you consider T2 bad, like any dota watcher).

I agree that the format is shit, but I wouldn't say the teams are bad, they were all pretty much tier 2, it's just that VP is way above the skill level of everyone else

I think Optic can actually convert their early game advantage into a win here. VP can't stall out indefinitely on the high ground with these picks.

Swaps galore on Optic haha. I think VP have the heavy firepower this game, Optic need a huge win in the laning stage which i dont think they get. Kotl needs aghs, gem, forcestaff/euls or he is going to be easy pickings for slark after like minute 12.
