The draft choices this week actually make sense once you think it through โ the timing of that substitution was deliberate.
Specifically: the enemy lacks AOE disable in late game. Swapping in Magnus in game 3 targets exactly that window โ Magnus + Tide versus single-target control is a guaranteed teamfight win condition.
At TI qualifiers, draft beats mechanics. The coaching staff decisions deserve more discussion. Anyone want to break down the sub timing per game?

65% is close to my data โ I have it at 63.2% over the last 3 TI cycles. Phase 1 of draft is genuinely the most predictive single data point.
The draft logic in TI qualifiers gets more sophisticated every year. The team that wins draft phase 1 wins the series 65% of the time in my rough count.
