Team Secret vs PSG.LGD: Match Recap and Highlights

Recap

In game 1, the 'Tiny' show took the stage. Although Team Secret moved around the map effectively in the early stages, there was a stalemate in the middle stages, with no meaningful moves made by either team. PSG.LGD's plan was to buff Ame's Lycan with Bloodlust and Lycan's Aghanim's Scepter. Ame proved to be a raidboss in the game, decimating Team Secret heroes to lead PSG.LGD to victory in 42 minutes.

In game 2, Team Secret picked Io and Gyrocopter but ended up placing Gyrocopter in the midlane with Ursa as a carry. Once again, there wasn't much action in the first 25 minutes of the game. The whole game came down to Roshan teamfights and buybacks. After some back and forth engagements, Team Secret had a 16k lead, but Ame's Monkey King and Xinq's Elder Titan helped PSG.LGD come back and win in 52 minutes.
