I don't like the amber that much, between global silence, fissure and lasso, it's a lot of long range initiation, he will have to start with very defensive items.

Lol that Ember death was worst case...gold to TA, full mid exp to ES.

Not sure how Secret is going to take any objective without winning a teamfight.

Not sure how Secret win a teamfight with their heroes.

Secret can't win.

Well it's not going to bode well if you are losing the lanes to a traditional lineup with 2 carries and 2 initiators.

Feels like Ember has to go physical damage this game.

it will take some severe miscaculations and delayed pushes by VG for secret to win this game. It will have to go late, ember will have to get a million (phys) items, and midone will have to never die from now on

I'd say before the game started that they'd have to meme push but I don't think that's in the cards now

Doesn't even matter if Secret won their lanes. They have no way to do anything.

bsj predicting batrider gonna win his lane and vg's draft is better

idk if you guys have been paying attention but from the draft analyses ive seen so far he's been on point

I've been listening. Honestly he's always had decent insight, I feel like he's in that weird spot where he understands more than any other caster/analyst (except maybe blitz?) but less than tier 1 pros.

The lina is probably the answer to that problem. Split with Ember, group the other 4 and ember comes in for 5vs4.

Maybe if everyone on Secret buys a HoD and converts a catapult they can make an insane 15 min push for rax.

VG needs a blink on TA or ES to follow up that Bat. Or force staff on Bat to actually pull them out. Just strange.

VG will 5 man take objectives and there'll be nothing Secret can do about it. They're not going to be able to win fights. They're not going to be able to get pick offs. If anyone tries split pushing they'll have bat +1 tp with blink lasso and kill them.
