Riki mid lasted longer against Secret >_>

If you think about it, Mineski were short of a brainfart from 2-0ing Secret.

the Secret that played today was DPC Secret, the one vs. Mineski was TI Form Secret

Yeah, it only felt like DPC Secret has returned when 2nd game vs Infamous started.

Yeah I don't really think Secret can make conclusions about strategy from this series, VG just can't play

????????????????????????????????????

these games being stomps isnt just because vg is bad lol

Game 1 was not a stomp until VG handed a 5-wipe on a platter by misusing their spells and reengaging without them

And this game they played the lanes really poorly and were pretty bad at repelling the invading secret (Razor running around failing at every rotation, for example). I really doubt OG for example would do this poorly even with the same drafts

wrong, both games were stomps from the draft short of secret massively choking

I mean this notion that only drafts matter is something even most pros don't believe... every single game can be traced back to the draft if you ignore the possibilities of play that weren't exploited

there's a spectrum of how much the draft matters

these 2 games were hard draft counters (well et io isnt so much a counter as the most op combo in the game right now)

Midone cracked on the main stage. Interesting he's admitted it. Also helps his team was able to carry through that.

Secret just played really well in game 2 too. How they put the shut down on the alch, and just in general the movement and rotations were great

i agree, their movements were great.

however, i get the sense that even if they were a bit sloppier, they wouldve been able to teamwipe, rax, and end the game by 25 minutes
