They showed they clearly knew what to do against Mag in game 3, and in game 5 they picked Sky to counter it with instant seal, but a bunch of times he was either BKBed, or he horn tosses the skywrath himself cause bad positionning/better vision.Typical overall of the Chinese scene, they rarely ever innovate they just copy western strats and make them more efficient. They were riding the Tiny Lycan cheese all the way and didnt know what to do about heroes like Wyvern and Mag who could just break that apart.
There were a couple big rotations in the beginning that went nowhere due to incredible game sense on the side of Spirit. That along with those amazing mag picks to the barely out of position supports is what felt the most impactful to me. Then there was the team fight bot that went horribly for LGD.They showed they clearly knew what to do against Mag in game 3, and in game 5 they picked Sky to counter it with instant seal, but a bunch of times he was either BKBed, or he horn tosses the skywrath himself cause bad positionning/better vision.
I think they just starved them for kills. The first few wolf tiny, Spirit just ran away without even engaging, they baited them into casting it for nothing. Like I think at least 3 times Tiny ended up jungling for his whole wolf transformation cause there was nothing to do after they got baited into stupid shit.
Also Lycan agh+strong melee like Tiny/Ursa wasn't a western strat, at least I don't think so. First team to play it in the tournament was VG in fact, and potential counters like wyvern were also known super early since on the very first day iG beat EG running wyvern+mag versus lycan+tiny.
Clearly? The fuck? They picked the entire lineup against Mag and then got Tinkered in g3 since they apparently forgot about that hero -- Notail Ceb and Aui during the draft were all seeing the Tinker pick that Spirit didnt (they last banned Void Spirit). That g3 draft was just all-around bad, and either they dropped the ball or were just super overly confident after going up 2-0. Even Bloodseeker had a complete freelane. No team was able to shut down Mag, the Chinese teams were even saying Mag was the hero that was defining the TI meta and Collapse was the best Mag player and proved it again in g5.They showed they clearly knew what to do against Mag in game 3, and in game 5 they picked Sky to counter it with instant seal, but a bunch of times he was either BKBed, or he horn tosses the skywrath himself cause bad positionning/better vision.
