It even goes like secret vs eg did: a team with 2 major wins getting stomped in game 1 by a team with none.

If VG drops from here, it sets up a very possible VG vs Secret match. That'd be 4 of the 5 Major victories fighting it out for Top 4.

I think Puppey will ban the WK. So, while I kind of agree with you, I also don't expect Secret to make that simple of mistake.

So he will end up fighting magnus-naix both games?

EDIT: Position 3 ogre has proven itself not to be particularly effective (yeah, he has sub 50% winrate in groups+event in spite of large pick count).

Knowing Puppey, he will try to pick the WK instead. Then team crumbles because he pick too greedy for the remaining 4 heroes.

I... like and dislike spectre here. Like because VG have 3 squishies and lone knight, dislike because LGD do not have enough teamfight to pair with her.

I could see that happening, lol.

Though they somehow won with a Core Visage, technically.

rOtk drafted Yang the Furion into a lot of losses one tournament. Definitely a Dead Yang strat.

And literally no damage until ultra lategame, unless you rely on splits from position 5 titan.

EDIT: no damage until end of times, i honestly believe that VG must play outright bad to lose this game now.

Exactly, they lack burst damage against necrophos-sven with nearly certain crimson guard and pipe being built fast. That is equal to having no damage.
