Of course they win a loving eco after throwing away 20 gun rounds. Of course.

Gotta feel for device. Dude is carrying so hard, but it just doesn't seem to be enough with so much dead weight in the team.

Their 'dead weight' is another carry and a dude who has as many kills as the opposing team's superstar.

This is just VP grinding this match out against all odds.

You've gotta think if they didn't have fat dad they would have snapped vp over their knee Bane style already. Fat Dad deserves some drinks for getting in there and not being a total mess though.

True but never forget one of VPs incredible abilities besides plowing and throwing is to just barely match their opposition by liberal application of plowing and throwing

Case in point, Snax woke up.

It's called "putting over", you have to make the opponent look good for the crowd.

Gla1ve did better than dupreeh would, zonic was a burden to them though

Also I meant that they clawed back a comeback despite their topfragger barely having enough frags to match the third topfragger on Astralis (the overtime changed that obv)

I mean...there's really no way of knowing that. Gla1ve is pretty decent as a player, probably not better than dupreeh though, and obviously he's going to be deficient in terms of teamplay and knowing strats.

I should have prefaced that with "I think that..."

In regards to teamplay I think the necessary change of playstyle from Astralis helped counter the VP T-side style, and VP would have had a much easier time breaking past a typical Astralis defense; it's just that they dropped the ball on both of their own T-sides because, well, very few strats.

That was super weird. I didn't see it from the start, but I'm amazed they didn't take a technical pause?

Supposedly the round had started when he started freaking out so no dice. Probably they lose anyway but it was really ugly because at that point they had the momentum.

Seemed like really sloppy from F3. Markeloff not knowing he could be seen in that spot, the other guy not just fading back to vents immediately as soon as FalleN shot at window. Oh well.
