Blacklist won this match. It was a good match up and despite that, both teams are likely to go together in Bali major but the difference is their DPC points whoever gets a better standing at the end of this tour.
Going to WEU, what a pitiful 2nd and 3rd map for Team Secret. They've won with their first map but then got swept by Quest for 2nd and 3rd map. There's a serious change that I think Puppey needs to do in terms of draft like the third map with their pick, it's not really wise at all to get that medusa as part of their picks.
Quest won easy and ATF's anti-mage offlane made it easy for Team Secret's medusa to struggle in farming.
As much as many would like to see Team Secret win, they just can't. Dota is rough for them.
That win from Blacklist was impressive, and it's now their major spot to lose, as they still have one series left against AG. And I need to stop betting against them because this is my third time fading these guys and i'm now 0-3.
While they're not yet secured for the Bali major as they only have 1 match remaining. I think if they've just won against Xerxia, they are probably secured a slot now.
I think that if Bleed and Talon will win their respective matches as both of them still has two matches, maybe Blacklist will end 3rd or 4th but will still qualify for the major.
I'm avoiding to bet on them because they're still inconsistent IMO.
I was impressed with Team Secret when they won that Windranger pick in the first game, I thought they were most likely losing, but it still worked regardless of the hero's bad record in the DPC games. The Medusa pick was okay in game 3, but they fell for Quest's trap after banning carry heroes in the first phase, and Quest quickly countered her with an offlane AM.
The pick was fine but Quest did managed to counter that too easy and that offlane AM was just so sick and annoying for Crystallis' medusa. I hate it and I'll be tilted if ever I'm on his shoe, keep on dying easily.
