Well, NiP is playing really well, so everyone is doing great. 33 was kiting like mad and they couldn't get a hold of Fata. This game was actually over around minute 10, frankly. NiP killed everyone else's farm but Alchemists, as Alch isn't can't hard carry against a draft that supports a Medusa. It also helps that Fata had himself a game and the Tide was broke for most of it.

NiP going to another major. A top 8 at Disneyland probably secures them TI9 too.

Realistically, they were always going to make TI just off the 4th place in the first Major. Though it's nice to see them finally playing well.

They didn't qualify for Mars Major.

I've waited a while to see nip come together like this. Very, very satisfying. They always had that potential if they learned how to mix things up.

NiP still has to protect Ace in the draft phase because teams generally understand how to hurt his farming patterns, but it's nice to see their team fight starting to come together. It seems like NiP is finally figuring out how their pieces work together, which is mostly about finding abusive farmers to use the pos 6 approach from ppd to get 1 item ahead on their cores. That let's them win a team fight and take an objective. Spent all season watching them run out of damage, so it's nice to finally see them drafting more.

I think Ace played really well this tournament. Feeling like to much blame has been put on him, feel like Fata has had many bad games this season. Not to say Ace has been outstanding this season.
Yeah its nice to see NiP playing well but still this is a minor, so want to see them win it and go on to preform well in major.
Find this a strange tournament, teams taking games from each other left and right in group stages only to have stomps in playoffs matches. Really hard to judge strength of team other then EU seem to be strongest.

Their playstyle is predictable but cannot be punished by most of the teams. At least not at this level, I Am pretty sure that VP, LGD, Secret and maybe Liquid (if they are in form) can easily punish this playstyle.
