A pity Quantic was eliminated, but honestly, I think Rattlesnake did an amazing job. Bear in mind: they came second in the Eastern qualifiers, only being beaten by the famous LGD.cn (who were only at the qualifiers because their TI3 invite was revoked due to a roster change).
Also, Quantic seriously F-d up their drafts.
* Game 3: they were given a Wisp, who is amazing at punishing split teams, while simultaneously letting your carry farm otherwise dangerous areas. Quantic proceed to draft a teamfight-orientated lineup, completely squandering the Wisp's strength. Then, and this is what absolutely kills me, they last-ban Nature's Prophet and draft an offlane Lich. I guess they were maybe afraid of a Gyro support on the offensive trilane and an offlane Prophet, but still... I really think the Prophet pick, instead of a ban, would've synergized better with Wisp's global presence. And picking Lich? By the time last pick came around, it was clear Gyro was the offlaner, and both him and CK love their BKBs. Lich is worthless against BKB users.
* Game 4: Quantic get Prophet. Rattlesnake responds with a Storm Spirit, who is a strong counter to Prophet's split-push strategy - he comes flying out of the fog, pops Orchid, and murders you before you can react. Quantic proceed to get... a Tinker, because apparently one split-push hero wasn't enough to feed SS. Then Rattlesnake run unconventional lanes, and Quantic respond by losing every single one of those lanes. Prophet dying to a KotL + Storm combo once is unfortunate, but dying a
second time is terrible. Worse yet is the farming Tinker, with Visage + jungling Chen, dying to the solo offlane Weaver. Those kills should
never have happened. The result was Quantic losing every single lane to a snowball-heavy lineup on Rattlesnake.
Short version? The first two games were exciting and really showed the potential of the teams nicely. The last two games, though, Quantic really fell apart.
As depressing as it is, I think Rattlesnake deserved to win that one.
