They only want to teamfight after the Silencer gets his Refresher, and Gyro has Butterfly+Satanic. It seems pretty clear to me their strategy, especially after Silencer grabbed a naked Midas->Refresh
To build on this, if they were thinking about fighting at all in the midgame, Silencer would have obviously gone something like Euls or Force. Then Storm might have went Shiva's or BKB. Otherwise, Orchid is clearly superior for how they, as a team, have decided to play this game
To build on this further, pro item choices are always with the team's gameplan in mind, so for us to criticize it is rofl laughable in just about any situation. In this situation, it's pretty clear why, but sometimes its not as obvious.
