One of TNC’s biggest criticisms up to this point at the KL major is that they aren’t able to close games (they often throw them). One simple way to fix this problem is to pick the hardest carry in the game: it’s hard to throw when you have a fat Spectre on your side.

Spectre, however, is not one of the hottest carries in the current meta. She has been picked only 9 times in the major so far with the unconvincing win rate of 44%.

Because of this, we found the 2nd game of the series (opendota) very strategically interesting and we definitely think there are a couple of valuable lessons to learn from it that we can use in our own pubs.
