There has been a lot of really retarded takes about the OTK tourney.
NA and JP tournaments that are high level are more or less same in terms of playstyle, competitive apex is just extremely passive, because kills are rarely worth potentionally dying and losing out on placement. The only problem is that you don't really know what exactly will be happening in these tourneys that have pros to IGL with potatoes on their team. It could be just playing zone and it could be fiesta, which is why they were also worried if they are getting contested on landings first few games - you just have no idea how the lobby will play out. Majority of the teams that fought early did so becaues of circumstances they found themselves in, and they did not want to fight there if they could avoid it.
Your team needs gibby 100% of the time, but you don't want to put your best player on gibby, unless he is actually insane Gibby player like Lou. Instead the best player/igl will usually be on wraith-like character to scout and do damage.
And you don't want bruce, the worst player, to be on Gibby either. Sure it wasn't selen playstyle but Ipn on wraith and Selen Gibby is best decison by far.
You literally can't play too aggresive with 15 teams around you within 100 meters.
Ultimately it comes down to IGL predicting zones and rotating correctly and then small mistakes that everyone on the team will make and sometimes they become crucial like selen dying last two games.
First game was good, both storm point games they got super trolled by zone (literally as far as it can possibly be) and last two games were sadge.
They weren't as terrible as it looked like, nor is IPN a complete retard (but he was never IGL and had to igl his two clueless teammates against some of the best IGLs in the world), nor did selen make many mistakes that a pro wouldn't ever make. Her arm was literally shaking some of the games though, but that really is almost of no consequences.
It's also really hard to practice this gameplay in ranked, because in ranked you have 3-5 teams in last circle, while in tournament you have 15 teams final circle. Its like a whole different game.
