@@bunsowudstock whoever directed the True Sight is or are amazing. I mean you are so happy for OG for winning then suddenly cuts to the heart wrenching scene of PSG.LGD stunned look. I hated the Chinese teams but that is mainly due to their supporters but never had I sympathized for one till that TI. LGD worked hard on the Finals and then the lower bracket. They even almost finished the Grand Finals in Game 4. But seeing them in excruciating pain and the fatigue setting in, I was like, yeahhh, maybe these folks aren't arrogant SoBs that I've always seen them as. Then we cut to the scene of the fireworks and there's no movement, no emotions, just emptiness. If I wasn't too busy celebrating for OG, I would've cried for LGD. But the only reason I didn't is because I was too busy laughing at the Chinese audience crying. Serves those people up for not being a great crowd. Manila Majors have always been the most exciting to watch due to the crowd but this OG TI run dethroned it.

[@wanderingbufoon]

it's the advantage of having the coach inside the booth with you. But the main thing is that every single one of them can solo and they've proved it throughout the TI run. Every time they won, they do so starting with a deficit and having one person solo running while the other 4 scrambles to keep the other team occupied and keeping them 5 man stacked. We see this with Ceb's Axe during the infamous Finals where LGD almost took them out of the upper bracket. Axe was given free space while the rest of the team struggled. Jerax too. Whenever LGD or any other team prioritize the cores, he is given free reign to roam and pretty much his ganks are so effective that he either kills them or gives so much space for the cores to catch up. The only thing that wasn't soloing was Notail but his zoning was immaculate. You can see this in game 5 when he zones Somnus in the pit.

[@damiensolanet1549]

The face JerAx makes at 52:51 is priceless. He looks so proud of his teammates he almost cries. Gets me every time

So crazy that OG, EG, and PSG.LGD literally stomped everyone else 2-0. PSG.LGD didn't give up a single game in playoffs against any team except OG. Probably the greatest clash of the titans in eSports history so far.

[@wanderingbufoon]

goliath vs david. Since this was an even number year, the current trend of it was the chinese will take the aegis home. Seeing the LGD had been ultra dominant the entire year too and even more so during TI, it was a no brainer. OG had always been just getting through by the edge each time, starting from submitting a roster to get into the elimination for the invitation and all the way to GF.

It’s still a hard time and requires lots of courage for a Chinese Dota fan to go through TI8 true sight even after such a long time. This frustration grows along the TI10 true sight coming. To be honest, Notail’s comment on this game is so true, a mental game. Not technical, not physical, but mental. The only weakness of the 5 guys in this team of LGD would be their mental strength. Therefore, that’s why OG won the final championship and that’s they are a respectable opponent. They deserve the aegis.
