I'd favor LGD over TNC, but VG over LGD.

I always respect fy but I don't think we can make an evaluation on LGD's chances based on that series. VP is clearly tier 2 here.

Presumably against Pango.

Less presumably: because it is an awesome item.

VG vs. LGD is a regional matchup and VG hasn't been super great within region this year (see: having to go through minor for the first major they won)

While I do agree, VG has looked cleaner during the group stage, even if LGD topped their group.

PA Aghs seems really underrated once you hit 25. You have triple daggers that resets on kills, which you're almost certainly going to get because you're six-slotted, so in a teamfight, you can easily get 2-3 sets of refreshed triple daggers off, not including those off its normal cd

It's really strong when you're ahead, because you can jump and burst someone squishy and then immediately jump to the next target rather than having to wait 3-4 seconds for your CDs

Blur having no castpoint and dispelling is a nice bonus

Adds a lot of value to BKB since you get to use the duration.

I'm also surprised that TNC has nearly even odds on winning this series. VG won two majors this DPC cycle, right?


Where do you see that? All i see is VG 1.4~ and TNC 2.6~

And they looked great I'll the group stage. If I still gambled that's be a pretty fucking easy bet

Every time I see Dendi he looks like he's having just the greatest time. Not sure if he's just a really happy dude, or has a highly developed game face.
