everything almost went to shit for optic, risky dive.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

She has 51% win rate this TI. Which is after the nerf. Played once on main stage. 42 times in groups.

Huskar seems a bit too strong at this point. My thought that he might just die to Ench may not come true, especially because Ench is constantly threatened by Clinkz in any fight. Maybe VP will do something with this Gyro DD

Alright VP didn't manage to use DD for anything either

Only because they didn't bother switching lanes. Pure stubbornness on VP's part.

VP not focusing heroes costing them this fight , you need to ignore Huskar until he is last or you all burst him first , in any case PPD took game 1 with the huskar pick , shame on VP for allowing it and getting cheesed , also i am not sure why you fight here , just go back and farm more , you cannot win vs huskar when he had a good start into the mid game , you need to delay the game as much as possible and when Optic comes knocking on your T3 then you go , and in exterme cases even let a rax fall.

They won both side lanes due to their lane setup. Though losing mid as badly as they did seems to have been worse.

I am confused whether it is PPD being a TI god, or VP choking.

Well VP's drafting is definitely off just like a lot of other teams in the tournament. LGD and OG are the only ones still confident in playing their own drafts and playstyle. Even Liquid draft seems a bit off sometimes.

This TI meta is literally NA dota meta, so all the NA teams are pretty much overperforming

Ah, thought you were asking why she was picked less than at summit. Group vs mainstage, no idea.

LGD brought them back to earth , they probably said "eh , group stage , we are just wraming up" and then BAM LGD takes them out of the winners bracket and now ALL of the pressure is on them , lets see if they can handle it.

Interesting CCNC doesn't use armlet at start of fight when rocket and other slow stuff stuns him.

Largely irrelevant because the hero that won mid was the one they couldn't afford to ignore.

TI is to VP what high ground was to old VP.
