Absolute heartbreak for Heroic, shades of that Thunder Awaken series vs Liquid a few years ago. So so close, entertaining games all the way to the end and yet at the precipice just denied by some incredible plays by BB to claw back what looked like a closed game.

Phenomenal games but damn, I really wish Heroic went one step further. They are just so likeable, fun to watch and feel good to cheer for.

How are your predictions going? Mine are going ok with only two wrong, but I'm not as confident in putting XG to win currently.

I didn't do predictions, but XG looked quite good earlier today. I still think they gave a strong shot against BB.

Nigma outdrafted and outplayed twice, but that was very impressive from XG. Definitely bounced back and look back to their best, even though game 2 was a bit of a freebie from the lineups.

I'm exhausted by that Falcons PV game three, some absolutely crazy Dota on display there. Looks like people finally figured out that you just have to ban Slark and MK and 9Class suddenly looks like a completely different player.

Wonder if PV stumbles at the finish line.
