Faction

Radiant and First Pick is over powered, and they don’t even cancel each other out.

Some team seems got stuck in the old meta at the first day, the meta changes rapidly through out the group stage and I believe it is still changing. Because of the new tournament arrangement, teams have more time to practice and test out stuff in weekdays. I am not surprise if there are a new meta tomorrow, we already saw many new stuff in pub game records of the pros.
