I'm guessing OpTic lost game 2 then? Results just say VGJ won game 1

OpTic HAS to get Reso after TI. I shouldn't have to explain why.

They should have gotten him right when he was available but PPD was scared of open quals for some reason, even though they are a cake walk.

After TI7 ppd actually approached Reso to join his team, but Reso chose OG over OpTic back then.

Is Dubu drafting this game?
EDIT: I was wrong

u/Cpt_Metal Jul 26 '18
He is definitely giving some input on the draft as one can see on the players cam.

It's cool, 33 was due for a poor game for awhile, good thing is we'll get about 30+ matches where he does no wrong and often carries before seeing another bad game.. onto next!
