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.

Sorry dude but you're just wrong.

So sad, buying back after 40s of base defence and losing a hero.

ES is the strongest late game orientated pos4 support. Not dark willow or anything.

Teamfight of VG is way too strong for them to lose this easily.

"get silencer or bat swapped EZ" not like their vision game is almost as good as yours and the heroes you want to target are ideally either way behind your reach or getting the jump on you instead

they can circunstantially take the bat out if they get a look, but it has rarely led to secret decisively taking a fight. meanwhile every successful VG initiation puts the game more and more in their favor

heaven's halberd is not quite the divine item necessary for midone to win at this point. Was going both manta and HH a mistake?

Personally think Ember Spirit 4 scales better.

Yeah, if you can last for ~60 minutes with 4 position ember, you are probably going to win.

Burst through BKB.

Either Secret is fighting well or VG is flubbing them. Maybe both.
