Pugna is still too strong even after the 7.26a nerf.

Yess, the lower ultimate cooldown is really a big improvement on pugna. And that improvement also made pugna can become more flexible on his role (powerful nuker as core or great healer as support).

New OG roster is OP but there are other team which are also good. -snip-
Lets see on which team would able to go forward.

But still, we have not been able to conclude how good the performance of OG with their current conditions because their roster is always changing. At least we know that they're really strong with their main roster (with MidOne as offline (and decent ping Grin

) and Topson as midlane).

Unfortunately Sumail won't stay for long in OG he's only acting like a temporary replacement for ana since OG announced he'll be taking a one year break from playing competitive iirc.

This is a very interesting thing to look forward to because maybe it won't be just about shuffling players but also shuffling pos/roles again.
But the question is, will Ana return before TI10 starts? Since the TI10 has been postponed (I heard it will be postponed until 2021).

Feeling quite bullish about Nigma, Secret and Virtus Pro. These teams look insanely strong rn

Actually Nigma has a pretty bad record based on their recent matches and their last two tournaments (ESL One Los Angeles and this tournament).

Anything can happen in Dota dude. VP and Team Nigma also won several small tournaments in 2020.

Better to predict one step, one game ahead.

I agree with you. As I've said many times, usually the group stage and the playoffs of a tournament will have different momentum and sometimes the teams that are on-fire in each stage are different.

OG is a flexible team and they can allow Sumail to play mid or carry but I guess Sumail's good in that position. The tournaments that we have right now doesn't even show the whole potential of the team. Because if these tournaments are just conducted on LAN, we'll see them stomp most of the teams. I'm worried of Team Nigma, they don't have a run for these past tournaments and also with the WePlay! Pushka. While with Virtus.Pro, I'm starting to like them as they're like the old VP that's always good with majors but questionable during the TI.
The quarterfinals matches are all set for tomorrow guys, Nigma and OG has been eliminated but Team Secret is still there with VP which I'm liking them now.

Very true, but there are also some teams that have performed very well in this tournament such as HellRaisers, Team Liquid, and Alliance.
