I'm a huge fan of Puppey. He's gotten a ton of criticism for his drafting the past few years. I've always given him the benefit fo the doubt. This was however, indefensible.

Lol you've fallen victims to Synd's narative. Secret CAN deal with their draft they just gotta get Silencer or Bat swapped. EZ

and as I type this, thats exactly how they won a fight. Sometimes you gotta think for yourselves rather than fall in the caster's narrative, which sometimes is totally wrong. Now, the question is, can Secret execute that again.

Except Synd literally said that? Swap into LSA is their only initiation tool that works.

I think I speak for most of us when I say that when we look at a draft with only lina as a tower hitter versus shaker, TB, bat, and TA we can tell that secret will have a hard time.

Yapzor also got off three swaps that fight, and VG will certainly be looking for that illusion in the future.

No, I've been saying this since the start. VG playing bad allowed Secret to take that fight. VG has to play very bad very often for Secret to win.

To be fair Secret are playing well with what they have. But it shouldn't be this hard to win the game if you can outplay your opponents.

They have good draft, in fact both drafts are good. I doubted the Bat pick at start, but with global silence its ok. However, Secret CAN deal with that. This is a positionional game from now on and if Secret position well, they CAN win with this draft. And no, its not bad or subpar. the only thing thats bad for them is TB.
