Virtus Pro were perhaps good during the relatively stable meta over the past year. But Chinese Teams are quickly at updating their play style. Optic Gaming seems also good at that (due to PPD). The meta even seems to change between different phases of TI. In the group stages, WK was very dominant. Also Weaver and Winter Wyvern. But in the main event, you don't see those as much. Much more Drow, Enchant, etc. But OG's results kinda defeat that point, because they appear to have their own niche, and still manage to win. Weaver is a bad example. It has been banned a ton. The two games in this series it was banned in first phase. Mirana is a better example. | ||

And lost upper bracket final into a lower bracket? I'm not sure what you're arguing about here.  Also my point of PPD being a lower bracket god is not just TI only. I'm kinda find it odd people want to look pass this. | ||
