Heroic vs Vitality about to start, Imperial beat Vitality but I dont know that means anything more then Imperial will always be a threat to any team with Fallen's guidance. I will just go with the simple idea of 3 maps occurring in this matchup.
You are right, the map took the full series. Both teams lost their map picks, Vertigo and Mirage. They are quite on equal footing in Inferno in the first half but when Heroic is on T-side, they really outrun Vitality. Vitality has no response to the strategy of Heroic and their defense totally collapsed. Heroic just gave up 2 rounds in the second half.
Congratulations to Heroic for finally winning this season. They deserve this win. They were always coming short this season ending in the Semis or coming short in the finals. But this time, they finally lift the trophy. Congratulations to Cadian for revitalizing his career.
For me , I would watch Secret games as I still believe they have a chance to get Last Chance qualifiers TI and maybe they will catch that last spot.
Nothing is going for them this year. This maybe the first time in a long time that we will not see Puppey in TI. The way they are playing right now, they are not competitive enough to win in the Last Chance qualifier. Unless they make another good find like they did last year finding Reso at the last minute. But I do not think that will happen again. It was just good luck they found reso in Riyadh masters and immediately had a good chemistry with the team.
