Because PPD played against Liquid, and knew that it is going to be very tough taking even one game off them. VP on the other side had the first game going into their favor, and just one bad fight decided the outcome. He looks like someone crushed his soul.

virtus throw :d

Not really a throw in this game, they never were ahead to begin with, just tilted.


3 rage buybacks into 3 diebacks is certainly a throw mate

Can't be a throw if they're never ahead in the first place

You can only throw if you're ahead


OK, if all of VP destroy their items now or walk down mid to suicide, would you say thats a throw? If not, than what is tghe word to describe a stupid move done by a team thats behind? In my books, thats also a throw and it doesnt matter if you are ahead or behind, it means you are throwing away your chance to win.

If you look like that, every dumb or desperate move that doesn't work in the game is a throw, which just doesn't make sense. You can be ahead and threw the game that you had in the bag, if you are ahead and do something stupid instead of playing straight forward, it's a throw. If you are behind, desperate plays to get back into the game are some options to be back in the game, they bought back to try and catch Ame that was pushing tier 3 which would give them a ton of gold, but LGD were really fast to react and all of the VP died. It's not a throw, it's a great response by LGD.


Dude, they bought back, TB started backing off in response to the bb's, and took only a T3 tower. At that point they buybacks were somewhat justified. I say somewhat because they could have tried to force him back with 1 or 2 buybacks. Instead they did the buybacks without clear strategy and in panic mode. Next, they chased him and all died and only after that they lost rax. That in my books is the definition of a throw. Buying back ,forcing your opponent to back off and then going down hill to suicide. If thats not a throw i dont know what is lol. The throw wasnt the buybacks, it was their incredibly stupid decision to chase him.

I think fnatic is capable of losing against Serenity TT (not that I'm especially a fnatic fan but still I wish them well, especially as a good mid placement at TI means enough money to sustain yourself for the year (even more in Malaysia))

If fnatic is to go on a run I feel like it has to be an Abed + DJ carry. Abed's kind of felt more like the up and down EE of old so far this tournament.

Alright I'm convinced this game is going to be a stomp one way or the other.

ee teams always have 2 weaknesses

they randomly choke on drafts all season long, especially in higher stakes games

and ee's mid to lategame decisionmaking and teamfight ability

i feel like that's always been the case

Wow I forgot that even 17-18th place earned 65k$ this year, and just losing in the loser round 1 is 125k$, and 375k$ if you win that bo1. I forgot how insane the prize pool is.
