BBT is looking extremely dominant. Their drafts are great and their gameplay is completely suffocating Parivision. They're looking like the strongest team at the moment from my perspective, even better than XG at this point. But they likely won't meet until the upper bracket finals if they continue winning at the paces they have set.
And just as I say that, Satanic starts popping off. He's really carrying Parivision.
Still, he looks like he's doing it all by himself. The rest of his team is looking a bit uncohesive, especially in teamfights. It is getting pretty interesting though....
They can play well when they click, saying it's all Stanic carrying isn't completely true - 9Class has had some crazy high impact games. They also just won without a gimmick draft. Game 3 will be interesting.
Yeah, their draft came together in a way I did not expect. I'm feeling a bit sheepish about saying that, but I think it's forgivable considering how poorly the game started out for them. Amazing comeback though. Especially loved how impactful Sandking looked, especially when the casters were saying how much worse it was than earth shaker.
Yeah Sandking is almost a little underrated I think, Falcons are owning with it too. Could be a rising priority pick through the tournament.
For me this game was a huge positive sign from PV, not just the comeback but also like I said winning without leaning on pocket strats like support Slark.
