I am honestly surprised by the Chinese teams though, expected them to do better.
Ehome played pretty badly the whole time. RNG came out really flat against Forward and never took away anything they were doing, thus they got run over by some hard carries. I'd still favor RNG to come out of the lower bracket, but Bo1s get wild.
Favor NiP over Alliance, simply because Alliance kind of has 1 thing they do and that can be countered if you protect your carry.
RNG losing against Majestic. First in group, but then losing against FG and Majestic. Quite surprising, but Majestic is really having a good tournament. Glad to see that SA is getting more and more competitive.
It's either questionable draft by FWD against EHOME or just bad teamshot calling. I think they should have given up on face to face teamfight and instead splitpushing to force ehome to split their force. FWD lineup has big potential for split pushing with prophet and ember picks.
Shame their run ended by EHOME which in my opinion the weakest team in this tournament. I really wish Lower bracket shouldn't have BO1 past round 1.
FWD let Spectre get away on less than 5% health twice, which rapidly accelerated her farm. If they'd gotten those kills, they'd have gotten at least some rax afterwards and would have been in a place where Underlord can't do so much work in the team fights. You need a Silver Edge against him.
Ehome took a page from what RNG had been doing, which was getting really tanky. In a Bo1, good wave clear and super tanky is a very safe approach.
RNG top in the top but also is the first been eliminated. So the system means u can simply play at group stage but pay more attention during elimination stage. And juz discard the group stage to save everyone time
