The match for finals is set. But I believe WBG have made a grave mistake in their semifinals showing yesterday. After T1 won the real finals^TM today everything would have been set up for WBG to swoop in and win the (less important) regular finals next week. But alas, they flew too close to the sun.

You see, the way you win against T1 in finals is for your averagely performing toplaner to suddenly become one of the best player of the tournament and gap Zeus for the final series. But what did TheShy do in his hubris? He went and became one of the best in semifinals already! Now how does WBG plan to defeat T1??

BLG knew this. That’s why they decided to lose to T1 in groups and why Bin tried to sandbag the semifinals. They assumed WBG and TheShy would go for the same “sandbagging top lane” strat and that BLG themselves would still make it to finals that way. But TheShy had other plans.

Can WBG overcome this (frankly ridiculous) blunder?
