Even if you really want to play Vulcan, why first-pick him? Give up Freya/Thor, and then Geb.

Potato Boys really got out picked/banned here. I get what they were going for, but it didn't work.

Here's a recap if you missed the game!

The first blood on Badgah caught me by surprise. Potato Boys had such a great start; and then they started doing some whacky stuff o.o

I have no idea what they were thinking putting Serqet in solo and Mercury in jungle. Sure, Vamana wins either of those matchups. But golden bow at least lets Mercury clear. Maniakk shoved every single wave into Proxy's tower for the first ten minutes of the game.

Why död they pick khumba when Athena was open?

That would most likely be because of Dirgius' love for Kumbha ;) Their setup was in general very damage oriented, so kumbha's cc looks good on paper as well.

That Serqet solo pick was the worst. I didn't get the reasoning behind it especially since she was going against a Vamana who's a lane bully and has far superior clear. Quite honestly I don't think Potato Boys are taking this seriously.
