    1024 teams in open quals for EU. 10 full rounds for Secret to fuck up 1 game. That's an insane gauntlet.

    Love Purge too, his knowledge is crazy just isn't there mechanically.

    Is his knowledge of the game truly exceptional, or does he just communicate with the community more than your average pro?

    His knowledge is really really good I'd say. People constantly point to his channel if you want to learn the game.

    Winter is probably the most knowledgeable of the analysts.

    Purge is a 5k player in both mechanics and knowledge. He excels in making the game easy to understand for new viewers and communicating effectively.

    He isn't on the same level as Merlini, winter or synderen

    Winter, Waga and Black are more knowledgable but struggle to communicate/translate that knowledge into digestible content/analysis for the average viewer.

    Getting demolished, our 2 supports are aaaaawful and combined 2-21, so under leveled and not contributing at all to team fights (dazzle and Phoenix), dazzle abandons, Phoenix sits in base afk, we win 18 minutes later as slark/Sven/Invoker.

    Also bkb completely and absolutely fucks OD so badly. Completely worthless once purchased. He got extremely fat on our two supports to start the game though.

    Bunch of commentators who stream themselves trying to make it through open qualifiers before every tournament. It's really terrific to watch on stream.

    They just dumped their two worst players and picked up two tier 2 team worthy players.

    They could definitely advance.

    Secret won but they easily could have lost that if the other team didn't make some crucial mistakes

    They might make it out of opens, but they'll lose in regionals imo. Something is off with that team.
