Smer run for Aegis already ended. I thought they will bounce back on game 2 after getting the tempo mid game but a lot of mistake committed makes Tundra completely demolish them. Pure druid is so tanky that even 5 heroes can't take him down.
They should have respected Pure's LD and have it banned on the game 2.
They should but they preferred to counter it by bursting it with lots of damage that didn't succeed. There's a lot of miscommunication and bad targetting for Ame too on the clash.
I agree that there is for sure miscommunication there and aside from that, there's a known attitude from these chinese teams of beating their opponents with their comfort heroes so, no to respect ban for them.
As for Topson, it's true about him that he becomes a liability in the late game but still the team has managed that. For sure that he became emotional on those moments. And will we see Topson going to be the first ever threepeat champion? We'll see later with their tough match later for sure against Team Falcons.
I'm skeptical for Topson getting 3peat this tournament but I would love to see that because that only means they can improve their game. Pure is so good carry that is very hard to stop if Topson will just give him enough space.
Still I will go for Falcons on their match.
While I want to see that happen, the same as what you've said on top of my remaining bet for this day, I've already bet for Team Falcons for their match later. No contest about the pure's performance being a carry and not to mention about his tandem, whitemon. They're all good.
