You showed us your team's brilliance against IG, I believe you guys can do it again at TI3!

Nice to know how players reflect on a tourney right after its over for them, you get a real sense of how the team is doing and how the results will affect them.

The experience alone that you got was invaluable, I am proud of you guys even though you went 1-4. There are lots of holes and mistakes but this experience will teach you a lot about it. You can't play heroes against this caliber of teams, you have to play lineups. Every mistake is punished, every move is calculated, that is the beauty of Dota and with this under your belt I hope that we can see better strategic vision and improvement.

Dreamhack Summer is the tournament that I am looking forward to.

Also you have to play against higher caliber teams to improve. The team isn't going to get to the next level playing against the average EU/NA team.



Maybe true but it does beg the question, how did Alliance get so good playing average EU/NA teams?

The average skill in EU/NA is a lot worse then Asia, Alliance is the exception, not the rule. At the top of average teams can stand a great one. But in 3 months from now, will the environment of Europe/NA or Asia be more resourcefull for practice, I would argue the latter.
And before that Na'vi was the exception, not the rule, right?

Great write-up. I look forward to seeing how you guys play in the next few months leading up to TI3. GL HF!

Very cool blog, answered a lot of questions I had. And also glad that you covered the disparities of results/gameplay from G-1 to TI3, and what people should expect of them.

Humble as always, hope to see more of your blogs!

I know it sucks to see TL go out before playoffs, but they still showed great potential. They arguably could have beat Orange, and should have beat Alliance. The LGD game was a stomp but LGD stomped most everyone. TL was extremely close to making playoffs and overall showed good games.

I think with more preparation and better decision making they could do extremely well. In the end they came close to making it through but fell a bit short. I hope with some intense training over the summer they can make a big splash at ti3.

GOGO TL! <3

Nice blog Korok. Your Aegis steal in the game vs DK was one of the clutchest plays I've ever seen. Simply brilliant

Although getting eliminated early, Team Liquid still played great this tournament. I have no doubt that with this valuable experience and heavy bootcamping, you guys will be able to rock Dreamhack and TI3. Fighting

Good blog. This is exactly the kind of stuff I was hoping for when TL said they were making a dota team. Feels a lot more personal than articles.

Flamewheel has to come through with the Korok + booth girl pic.

Rated 5, love you guys and it was a good run for sure (i know...even it was the 'bad iG') so just keep the spirit up!! I absolutely love the attitudes and truly see the TL spirit in your guys, you will improve better for TI3 for sure!!!

My only concern is that maybe it is better for you guys to bootcamp outside of US, i know it is tough to make that happen but maybe give that a thought.

Nice to see the blogs from TL's dota team. You're living up to the excellent TeamLiquid standards regarding community interaction.

I'm sure that it's just a healthy dose of confidence but I must say I view your statements that you could beat Alliance, DK and Orange with just more training as, what you yourself said, arrogant. Dude... All of you at this level have the talent to succeed, what seperates the winners from the rest is the dedication and training.
Buuut then again Im a swede and rooting for Alliance so maybe the statement just rubbed me the wrong way.

Also it sounds as if Valves rule about roster changes is all that is keeping iG from replacing 430. It doesn't sound like a recipe for success.

Did you even see the Alliance game.... zzz

I am always a little baffled at the "with X more amount of training we would have achieved XX." That pretty much goes without saying, doesn't it? It should, at least. That is essentially why eastern dota is up and above the western scene: they take the game more seriously, the top teams are living in teamhouses where they are together 24/7 whereas some players in the western teams are attending schools and/or have jobs or other obligations. If you had similar culture in the west and east, and thus a matching approach to dota as a _real profession_, I doubt one side would emerge as the supremely dominant one.
In the end, you can always 'excuse' your performance with "one more week of practice and we would've won X and X."

Was fun watching you play at the G-1 League lan finals and I am sure you guys will be a force to be reckoned with at Dreamhack and TI3, as long as you practice 'well'

I wonder whats up in iG o_O



i´d like to know that too, hear a 1st hand opinion.

I almost cant shake the feeling that they are just sandbagging, then again, that would be sacrificing still alot of money months before TI3

i feel like they and na'vi will show their top form in ti3 and alliance will either have already peaked here or still be about the same form they have atm with at least na'vi / IG/LGD in top shape

tldr: ti3 is gonna be awesome
