Theorycrafting here: Say Secret picks Tiny. Isn't Pugna a good counter at any point in the game? Early game, you push really quick and limit the space for Tiny to farm, and late game, you can decrepify to avoid the damage from tree volley, right?

There is only a minor issue: tiny can buy blink and blow you up the normal way because you are playing Pugna. With such logic you might as well pick timber so that tiny has no trees to cut.

EDIT: Secret decided to just pick void-tiny rest of the tournament?

actually should pick timber and wreck the forest, whats the respawn time?
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

Ah, okay, yeah, that does make sense, since every Tiny goes blink first

Glad Infamous got SD and Doom here, they desperately needed some defensive heroes last game and Doom is, as just mentioned, a great counter

Doom. O.o Haven't seen that one yet but I didn't catch all games and barely any group games.

Secret is saying "can people actually beat this? Let's just keep testing" I'm almost sure they would try it against VG in game 1, but VG probably has the exact same view on the current meta and therefore neither team will get both.

SD matters more because it normally hard counters Hector's hero. Part of the WK meta is that SD normally isn't huge against WK because of reincarnate.

The only game i saw tiny-void lose was VG's copy of LGD's tiny-void-magnus-ogre draft against OG and there most agree that VG would win if not for Paparazi throwing.

EDIT: Oh, Yapzor enigma, 2-0.

Feel Inf is far more exciting than Secret. Secret is only fun to watch because their games are so scrappy, I feel.

Infamous is still behind, but I honestly thought they would be a lot more behind at this point

Infamous had a great tournament, like the TNC run back at TI6. It's great to see a SA team being able to hold its own against top teams finally. Hope it makes for some great future tournaments.

This is what Inf looks like when you don't let them play on their best heroes with their one really good style. Puppey still winning games with drafts after all these years.
