Yes, though VP was 10-0 in last 10 games against Optic before that. So the last time was 11 games before that.

VP yet again with a shit draft. No stuns. Can the real VP step up because this drafts and playstyle are not what they have been playing throughout the 2 years.

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


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


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

and who would you put mid against that huskar ? xd

Even though Huskar was just a perfect pick, not sending Ench mid instead of DK was game losing decision, they might not have win it either way but they would have a better chance.

It makes sense, he always drafted some sort of timing oriented line up, he has always been a one dimensional captain and this draft was right in his comfort zone.

So what are the win rates of last pick vs first pick? Past TIs usually have a few overpowered heroes that force teams to waste ban on them. This TI seems like it's more about cancer last picks that dominate the lanes or just alch.

Enchantress is very good against Huskar in the early levels. Pasha knows how to play DK in the side lane.
