All of them have large pool of heroes and that's their strength and with what they've been doing, it's been effective to them. Their run was one of the best because during group stages, they're at the bottom and they're about to be eliminated but they did well on rising through the playoffs and won against with those strong teams including those teams that has TI champ winners including PSG.LGD who has TI champs too.
LGD didnt really able to able win TI ever since but they have able to get that runner up position which that recent ti10 on where most people do believe that LGD would got it this time but they do failed up.
Team spirit was the dark horse on this competition and never one in a million chance that people had been anticipating for this team to win considering that there are lots of teams which are more better
and known to be previous champs which we didnt really expect that they had able to pull this off on this year.
Yeah, LGD has always been that close. Always the 2nd for these past TIs but that's it and as they're always close, who knows if they're going to be the next TI champ.
I agree about TS, they've never been expected to win the TI and their performance before the playoffs is too dull and that's why we mostly thought that it's going to be either Team Secret or LGD in the finals.
