The lack of direction in Liquid's games a while back was really noticeable. And the recent improvement has been similarly noticeable The picks are not only creative, they're also working out very well both in their synergy and in getting the most out of the lanes. And when watching you guys stream, you all seem to be enjoying yourself, which is great to see.

A bit disappointed the game Dark Star wasn't mentioned. ^^ I see the logic of the title and the disclaimer in the name, still disappointed.

You've got pretty good writing skills, but all i sense from ur blogs are exuces why you didn't deliever as a team. It's easy to look back and tell what went wrong, but you guys seems to not learn from it. I'm really sad to say it, cuz i really like you guys, but you gonna fail miserably at TI3. Hope you prove me wrong. Good luck!

I understand Tomca, I can't disagree. There are often problems beyond introspection. I don't care what happens if I can look back and say I did everything I could do to get our result. Heart often isn't enough, you're right to think that way after our results.

great blog, glad you guys are finding you style and it is very noticeable in the last several matches. In regards to Tomca they are 6-2 in their last 8 matches those being against; ICCup,Mouz, 4FC, Alliance, fnatic, EG and two vs Dignitas (losing to Alliance and Fnatic). In their last two matches in which they really have been playing spectacular are the ones they seem to have found their groove so i can not wait for their next matches :D

People tabbing out during the draft is ridiculous. It screams for a lack of dedication. Between that and all the pictures and complaints of Bulba and Korok sleeping all the time, it's hard to believe you guys will be able to make the best of your boot camp. I would love to be proven wrong but like Tomca said, with the current state of things you will fail miserably at TI3.

It's a shame because you are 5 of the most talented individual players, but it always looks like you guys play as if it's just a game and as a top tier team with such potential it should be a lot more than that. Either way I'll have my Liquid pennant equipped for as long as you last in the tournament.

Despite my negativity I really do wish you guys all the best of luck at TI3 and during your boot camp.

awesome blog. I hope you guys can get some good practice in during the days leading up to the International and get into the form you want. I'll be rooting for you guys.

Also, are you still collecting coal for TI3? I have like 30ish of them.

Great blog as always.

I thought for you fans, I'd share this that tree.hugger found. It puts things into perspective and I'd like to think with FLUFFs thoughts on how all the players have different styles and ideas, we're doing a good job at putting the thoughts together into a more similar vision and get as much out of everything as possible.

Great blog, man.

I love your mentality and the way that your blogs speak more than just about Dota 2.

Good luck on TI3. I'll be having a barbecue with my friends to watch some Liquid games. :D

Damn, I like your blog posts, Fluff, mostly due the fact that they seem really honest.
I support many teams and I only want the best one to win TI, so I can only wish you luck on this path to harmony of 5 players going for one goal.

PS: I've spent good ten minutes looking for my account information here on Liquid just for this =)
Expect the unexpected.

Sorry, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but why teams have only one drafter? I mean why don't they discuss about the picks together? Or maybe I have understood something really wrong which might be the case here.

? The reason i slept early was usually to watch the Chinese games that started at 4 am us west time . (redbull/alienware cup) i enjoy watching live games over replays/vods so i fit my schedule for that. idk how u assume its something that hinders our bootcamp/play time
