End Series Notes -

SHR show great fortitude in these matches and are able to come back from a huge emotional swing.

I think SHR will learn a ton about their mistakes from this series and will be able to bring this new knowledge into their practices and the semi-finals. This will be a big boon going forward.

SHR will have to take a strong look into their early-game and into their team choices and play-style. While it is ok to put strength onto Uzi, all of SHR need to feel that they can perform on their champions without having to rely on Uzi 100%. This will make all the difference going into semi-finals.

EDG did a great job coming back, and they grew and played better game after game. This entire series was an upward growth for them and I feel that they only lost the final game due to their pick/ban phase and what they let SHR get. SHR's semi-finals opponents will need to take this into consideration.
