I don't really have a problem with OGs naga picks since they actually finish the game in a reasonable time with it instead of not-teamfighting for an hour.

I think that alchemist pick was just a disaster. Are you seriously going to outgreed and outplay OG?

Well, yeah? Worked for IG at DAC, particularly the outplay part. Alch wasn't the hero, though.

How can this meta be the most garbage bullshit when the only team that's really making Naga do work is OG?

This VP draft is basically what faceless should have picked.

E: feels like VP went a little unnoticed this major unlike in Boston. Even though they also won all their games in the group stage everyone focused on team secret instead and copying their drafts.

There's been a shitload of issues with audio, stuttering video, video drops and just flat out broken segments.
