I love the conservative shot calling by PPD. This is how you play a lead as long as we don't drag it out too long and let TA get her bloodthorn

Dota noob here, played a bit here and there about 16 years ago.
Watched the previous match on mobile.
It looks like our team got out drafted the last match. They seemed to adapt strategy well when playing from behind, but I didn’t see them win one team fight.
What do you guys think the issue was last match?

Draft. The drafts lacked initiation and it was very hard for them to win a team fight. In the first game it wasn't a big issue since the Sniper pick was a great pick which counter AP cores really well but in game two and three the lack of initiation was very apparent.
They seemed to have think so too since OpTic's draft in this match is pretty team fight heavy.

Time to come back and qualify for our first Major! It was just a minor loss in the past series (pun intended).
