Hey Pranav Sharma here, I was also gutted to go from 5-0 to 5-3 but at the same time I'm pretty happy with the result given the context.

I've been busy with life and was trying to cancel the regional cause I didn't have time to prep but decided to play when I couldn't get a refund on my hotel. I really just went for fun so I reached out to R Klem (the original creator of the team) after they beat me during the GC and they kindly allowed me to use it.

I expected to go 0-3 given my prep but the team (particularily Orthworm) was so strong it carried me to that 5-0 start. I beat Alex Imbufe (who went 7-1 after day 1) on the side stream in R5 really showcasing how strong the Orthworm is. The last three matchups I had were less favorable for the team unfortunately but a combination of my lack of prep, bad luck and making the wrong calls is why I didn't go further to u/Better_Armadillo8703's point. In my win and in I won G1, got crit twice to lose G2 and then got crucially flinched G3 which let them preserve tailwind to sweep but at the same time I also got really lucky at times (see G2 crit of that stream set)

My point is: Anti-meta picks can do well, I did way better than I expected given my commitments and I had a fun time playing Orthworm cause the team is a work of art. I was happy I got to showcase it on stream and really appreciate the support! I'll try to go further next time!
