After seeing / viewing for a long time (unsure what he is viewing , could be messages / comments )
Received lots of DM , which included encouragement , condolences as well as criticism.
I have been thinking , reflecting for almost half a day , unsure what to say or comment.
Lets make it simple , 8king is a good coach , BP decision were made by the everyone. As for my own performance , not so good.
Second post
I kept thinking it's myself, it's us the player's problem we didnt perform as usual ,therefore we lost the series. However theres a lot of comments , I have to say something , I don't feel comfortable (with these comments).
Before the series begin , we have many conversation with xiao8 ,mostly his past experience. He said a lot of people came so close with ultimate TI dream , but eventually didnt make it ,resulted in lifetime regret. Xiao8 also mention to not look down at opponent, as every team that reached TI finals , will definitely have what it takes to win. Do not over-pressure yourself while pursuing the aegis ,as it might limit your performance. After the conversation, we continued our preparation for the series.
First game , going for IO line up . Nothing much to say, everybody have not fully warmed up, not our usual pick (refer on Ursa not their usual pick with IO) . we think Ursa is good against their lineup, therefore Ursa it is. TS was on fire , not much chance for us to capitalise.
We lost, xiao8 encouraged us. Asking whether are we still comfortable playing with IO again as well as playing against TS if TS pick IO themselves. We thought that the problem was that we didnt pick a comfortable plus one with IO. We were still confident with IO plus one.
Theres some pick issue for 2nd game , IO eventually became position 5. Not optimal in saving others, vision was a mess. We lost.
Our thought process was messed up after 2nd game, xiao8 encouraged us to ease ourselves and perform. We won 3rd and 4th game. I personally think that xiao8 outdrafted TS , especially Undying , it was his idea.
5th game , we were all too stressed out , pressure was too immerse. Me myself felt it during 5th game. I am afraid to break TS smoke, constantly felt we were under TS vision, especially after TS read our smoke gank correctly. We played like a timid child , afraid to make mistake, also afraid to risk and capitalise advantages. 5th game lineup was our most comfortable lineup. Position 2 3 4 5 was strong early, meanwhile Ame farm , then close the late game with roshan. As for mid game, our plan was to overcome with our knowledge and itemisation. If Lotus orb helps , Lotus it is. Even if we have to 1st item sheepstick.
TS was on fire. Vision , tempo , communication was on point. We did not lose only due to Magnus , stop repeating it. Collapse plays a lot of heroes and performed well , so do all other TS players.
Top Q&A , comments & reply from random after posted 2nd post , replied by XinQ
Random1: However the hero that defeated you guys , LGD is this Magnus ! How about Ember is game 5 , why is it not drafted for NTS?
XinQ: Magnus is actually raising a monster on laning phase ( might refer to Magnus giving huge advantage to opposite carry) , he is not so powerful before blink. We wanna let them take Magnus , and then we play from early game , eventually control and dominate the game.
Random2: But TS magnus only lost one or two games
XinQ: Our tiny only lost one game.
Random 3: The key is Magnus , even if rubick was picked. I was panicking while watching , one mistake and its gone. Why are you guys so stubborn. You guys have no answer to this Magnus. Why are you guys not picking yourself , you guys can actually play it.
XinQ: We are not feeling this way , I think we controlled that game , if magnus skewer/toss , I could lift them too. So as magnus , the only contribute is buff.
Random 4: However , there no other hero other than Magnus that can drag defending heroes all the way out and slaughter from their 3rd tower or base. Collapse can only play Mars and Magnus , this doesn't make sense at all , its crazy
XinQ: Collapse also knows how to play Tide and Doom , if you are defending base against an offlane Magnus, you already failled your early game.
Random 5: ?? I saw you guys skewered by Magnus all the way from your own highground multiple times. Kunkka was skwered out , and then cast ultimate recklessly , noone attempted to save him. Even if Collapse plays Mars , Mars couldnt perform as well as Magnus in this situation. Also Secret and OG was eliminated by Collapse Magnus , they also picked Tiny as their carry . Collapse Magnus will be impactful.
XinQ: Their Mars is also good , but our plan was to play from early, to not let Magnus have those item.
Random 6: Dont lie to me , how can Collapse has high hero pool ? ( Showing Collapse match history ). You said the IO strategy was your comfortable strat , next you say you played not well due to not warming up early, how about your pub games? I want to know that during pubgames , how can Skywrath and Enchant disable a Ember that pushes creepwave recklessly with Eul scepter?
XinQ: You cant prioritize ban for their offlane, you may ban 2 , but Collapse has at least 4 hero. I don't think he can only play Magnus.
Random 7 : You guys lost to your own ego and over confidence XinQ : We take TS seriously, perceived them as strong team . However , I am confident with our own strategies. Yes we did not perform , but I don't think I am cocky
Random 8: I couldnt understand , you guys performed so well in game 3 and game 4 . How did you guys become so lost during mid game in game 5
XinQ: Game 5 probably due to my own problem. When we first ganked ember , we did not cast our skill optimally , ember networth wasn't as low as expected later stage. Then we smoked under their ward, everyone was eager to make something happen. When the advantage is on our side we somehow delayed in capitalizing it , no one in the team made the correct call.
Random 9 : Stop denying , whats the reason behind pangolier first game. Did NTS want it himself? Just admit that you guys 322.
XinQ: Lost means already lost , as for 322 , don't talk about it , I find that you are silly. ( I get the impression that XinQ is in a low mood , he is tired to explain furthermore about the game , not to even mention about the accusation for xiao8)

Ban pick decisions were made by everyone , not solely on 8king. 8king's dedication deserves every player's respect. I hope that there will be more understanding and encouragment. Please stop slandering, thanks. Not much to say now. Thanks for the support.
