TH should have won the first time

They were and are clearly the better team, no idea how they crumbled and choked an 11-2 on ascent

to avoid geng
to save strats
to win the trophy

Definitely. G2 have the map advantage (they Perma ban sunset, THs best map) and th had a new roster they never played with before etc.

Th improved a lot during the tournament, also because of the new roles and getting used to them. G2 should've never won against them if the playing conditions were equal
