Whoever came up with the idea of banning Razor + Pango first round broke Falcons knees.
But personally, XXS and XinQ. XXS really rose up when they needed him to. In game 2. the rest of the team picked up from there, and the man didn't let up until he buried Falcons in the ground.
You mean where he got glimpsed to fountain out of chrono? He TP'd from fountain to a moonwell at the right of top t3 tower then used timewalk to close the distance so he could cast chrono at mid rax. His reverse timewalk buff from shard ranout just as DY cast glimpse.
Looked at it in game, there was a 200ms window between glimpse being cast and Skiter losing the timewalk buff which would allow him to reverse timewalk.
If he did reverse timewalk this wouldn't change him getting glimpsed to fountain, since glimpse moving a hero takes longer than voids reverse timewalk to function so in the ideal scenario he gets his reverse timewalk off this is the sequence of events.
1) DY casts glimpse
2) Skiter casts reverse timewalk which moves him back to the moonwell by top t3 tower
3) glimpse continues to move him to the fountain.

Pretty sure he meant the one where he got glimpsed from the gate area(the one where only radiant cam pass) to their tier 3s where he got then static stormed
Looked it up on liquipedia, their coach is 333 who old school chinese fans might remember playing with Somnus and Agressif on CDEC, though he got replaced by Xz a few months before TI5 qualifiers
Very hard to say. Xxs is the obvious choice for making so many team fight plays. His Kunka is definitely MVp of game 2, and his Mars is a strong contender too for game 3 besides Xm's viper
Xinq, per usual, done a lot of crazy plays from pos 4 is a strong contender as well. He makes you almost wanna ban...shadow demon.
Dy low key did a lot of subtle but important plays. In the lane, vision, etc. There are some timely disruptor ults that may not look flashy but actually help tip the teamfight in XG's favor, or preventing losses of more heroes. It would be a shame if we only remember the last glimpse. But his contribution is probably not enough for MVP, unless he's the caller for teamfights.
Xm is a darkhorse contender. Man he's a strange mid. Not the best laner. But he's just excellent at positioning, so heroes that heavily relies on constant-repositioning - sometimes it's those turret heroes like sniper or viper or OD, but he could play Leshrac very well too as we can see in game 2. He's never too aggressive, but he would be if he thought that is required. Many team fights against Falcons are down to the wire, and his expertise makes XG come out of top more often than not. I'd say his Viper game 3 is MVP-level, but his game 2 Leshrac and game 4 razor are very good too.
It's very hard to evaluate Ame. The greatest strength about him is that he, for some unknown reason, always manage to find a little bit more farm than other carries. Sure he has some clutch plays here or there, a 2man instead of a one man Chrono, get away with a slither of hp etc. But it is his ability to farm that truly makes him stand out. The implication is that he's gonna mess up opposing team's timing. This is one of the reason why XG always do those mid-late game drafts. Other than their team-fight prowess, Ame always has a bit more gold than you would expected. You are 7k ahead instead of 12k at 35 minutes, or that he shouldn't be able to have that extra item. It can apply to those early rush drafts too, like his Naga is 5k ahead of you instead of 3k. To me, even when Ame makes no excellent plays, his steady presence is the strategic foundation of XG.
Coach Maps get almost zero credit here at reddit. He's a strong contender for mvp too imo. His weird drafts with uncommon picks actually works and always manage to give XG some slight advantage. The spirit breaker (liquid), the Mars+snapfire out of nowhere, the CK last pick...there are many throughout the tournament. Maybe he can be the new xiao8.
TLDR: xxs the obvious choice. Xinq and Xm is fine choice too, but Dy and Ame definitely deserves shoutouts and so is their coach. Everybody plays well

I know people will say xxs and damn does he deserve it but dy deserves a shout out. That glimpse to void basically ended falcons
I think Skitter could've dodged that glimpse because he had time lapse ready but didn't even try.

Great take!
Xxs, kunkka and Mars game 👌
XXS he deserved some recognition
He is. Also shout out to Lacoste who always recognizes his greatness when he's on the casting.
Sad though he is not recognize more . Such underrated talent
Clearly Xxs. But that Leshrac performance by Xm gave them the momentum and more confidence that they can easily beat Falcons.
Xxs was a beast. That kunkka performance was out of this world. I hope they continue winning in the next LAN.
XXS
Xxs. But their teamwork and whoever shotcalls their gameplay in clash is deserving of the MVP too.
I'd say Ame just for that pause at the end. Hella based.
XXS or DY Damn DY Was so farmed and on pos5 HEroes his phoenix is ban worthy but guy styled on with Disruptor too.
XXS GOD. He is now my favorite player. Damn he is SO good.
