It's of note that Secret are still haunted by Mineski series so they take their item timing much slower than OG.

more OP than tiny aghs because tiny aghs has a later timing

we also said the same thing with naga, alch and tinker before

i never said that same thing with those heroes

though alch in his strongest form was kind of close to that tier tbh

Funny to believe one of the defining picks of TI9 was initiated by ana who asked n0tail for the carry Wisp spontaneously with no team practice.

Sorry but VG are playing like a tier 8 team. I doubt OG or Liquid or LGD make it so easy for Secret no matter what

I can see Helm of the Dominator getting removed or nerfed so Io can't move at like 450 movement speed by himself anymore.

Ana is a better wisp than Jerax.

Nisha has wisp as his one of the most played heroes in competitive.

Basically the only 2 people we saw running core wisp are the only 2 people who even have practice with playing wisp while currently playing carry, period.

i wouldnt have agreed with naga and tinker at any point

with alch, plenty of teams tried counters and failed, to the point of watching teams fail to shut down alch and lose was like a very common thing

It's kind of hilarious how we have a distinct West/East split on wisp though. West teams have wisp strats, East teams do not.

Unless we see a Secret vs OG series. In which case, I can see them both playing chicken with Io in the first ban phase.

why do you think, when under pressure, people go with comfort picks? because it's a lot harder to trust yourself playing something you haven't mastered, even if it is OP

why i said everybody said the same thing you are saying to the hero at some point

it is even more apparent for this case considering only two teams are running the IO carry as their is time to figure out how to beat an IO timing play

eventually all the most OP shit even the tinker that can farm ancient and has the instant eblade was still beatable before after awhile of everybody dying to that hero
