What does it say that while both teams have essentially the same roster they won the Aegis with, neither team has the same coach from their championship runs?

Waow I just woke up after going to sleep after the first TL vs LGD game thinking it was already set in stone, but I wake up to this plesant surprise! Truly no matter the end result, we are already in the best timeline!

Let's start with an Ana io, settle this right now. Then full bo5 and io wins all 5 games.

Panel hasn’t done a good job pre finals. It’s maybe a little too much like the summit. What would be nice is if they made Nathan and The staff do some actual work and maybe cover the TI meta before the finals. That would be cool that would be hype.

it's a bit of the panel, a bit of the production, a bit of the crowd, etc.

i don't really get the caster choices. i mean od/fogged aren't bad, but tobi/synd isn't simply better, it's unarguably a billion times better. This duo already got the finals last year, why again? what's the criteria?

Oh fuck it's OD/Fogged, that makes me sad

Also: the desk people choice is also lackluster

I think that comes, at least in part, with not being the primary-language broadcaster for the event this year. The atmosphere is very different when you're the alt-language stream.

Imo OD+Fogged is the best caster pair. Synderen is good but I really don't like Tobi compared to pretty much any caster

I know, right? It's actually a crime against humanity to not let the absolute best casting duo of Tobi/Synd cast the Grand Finals =(

I mean they’re basically paid to bullshit. For all of nahazs stat man hype gimme a proper big match hype show like a big sports show. Maybe use that dotanuff data. What are the key timings to watch normally. Maybe do a little theory crafting. What would be your thought process dealing with the IO?

I agree that like this panel not seeing the crowd kinda hurts though is understandable.

Edit get me PPD back or some other eliminates pros
