min 36 Spectre need 1k gold for a Skadi. Its kind of baffling that Moon have almost no deads vs this draft.

tnc just needs to buy a few force staffs or other defensive items and mineski cant really burst anybody as long as tnc are positioned

discipline refers to not taking unnecessary risks, not failing to make necessary plays tho

tnc just had to throw strategically throw bodies for the entire 10-30 minute period and they didnt

the only reason they still have a chance is because this brew pick is just so bad imo

They're playing the fights really well. The +EV play seems like to force things more, but patience might be better in a Bo1 where you're consistently outplaying the other team.

Could be a VP vs LGD game 1 repeat scenario, one good fight from Mineski and they can take the throne.

i see your point now

tnc couldve thrown by forcing things too much

and they seem to (correctly) believe they can outplay this draft all the way through the mid-lategame
