I felt bad for Magisk, you really saw how much it hurt him losing that much of a lead and the series. He's still 18 though so he'll definitely have a long career in this game and a lot of time to bounce back. Well played to VP nonetheless, nice to see a slight comeback by pasha.

u/Hughcheu Virtus.pro Jan 28 '17
This Bo3 really felt like a lesson in over confidence. VP bodied North so hard on Overpass that they became lax on Cache and lost on their pick, to a side that hasn't played Cache in months. Then North destroyed VP on Cobble (mainly due to a god tier drop hold) and dropped their intensity on T side, allowing VP to come back. That, plus some excellent plays by VP.

u/Jayden933 FaZe Jan 28 '17
Damn that was such an impressive comeback by North after being eviscerated in map 1! Only 4% of people believed they could do it in pick-ems, and they nearly pulled it off. What an epic rollercoaster of a series! I was really pulling for them to achieve pretty much the most unbelievable upset ever in a major. Unfortunately for them, VP's experience and more refined teamwork in the second half of cobble crushed their dreams. But North's got a lot of potential in the future.
