You might have missed 2 TI in a row where reso carry average players into top position at TI playing 1? Hell even as a standin for empire he clearly outshined most of the pos 1 players there.

I think we will see notail and resolution swapping roles often. then who else? He has been clearly the best 1 for 2 years in a row whereas he was with average players the 2 times. the pathetic attempt from nothingwhatever to troll will remain unanswered | ||

It doesn't matter who won TI if we talk about strategies, so yes, if OG started doing it before Liquid, then Liquid would be the one emulating. but w/e, who cares. | ||

Having a mid actually 1 in farm priority isn't an OG invention, EG did win TI with sumail remember? And i'm not even saying EG actually invented it compared to the og's fanboys lurking here. Wtv people really answer what they like, i thought it was shocking that i said reso wasthe best carry in the world yet no one opposed an argument or another name instead. Everyone here is up in their pants because i said OG were losers, yeah it's a slight exaggeration but don't forget OG barely placed in the top half of the tournament and it's still an upgrade compared to last year's run. If those shitty results 2 years in a row are enough to call a team Tier 1 i dont know what to say. Just a reminder they finished at the same spot as a team with a standin (an average/good carry considering the answer on that topic) | ||

Reso is owning though. That guy is carrying hard, they can really abuse his skills. Everyone can create space for him, then he takes over, the only concern i have is that i am not sure that 4 protect 1 is a viable strat these days. Thats more like a situational draft... Cant wait to seem them perform against better teams. | ||

They seem to have taken a seriously long break after TI and are suffering because of it. My guess would be that it has something to do with TI. It seems previous years they've had to take a few short breaks during spring in the run-up to TI not to burn out completely, and has sufferd in TI because of it, so maybe this year they're trying to take it slow so they can go full steam from january untill TI is over? Hard to say really, but they are definitely rusty. It could also be trying to figure out how to play optimally with Reso and trying shit out. But to be honest, it just looks like they haven't been bootcamping hard enough since TI, while other players and teams have been working hard on their skills and finding new drafts and ideas. If it's one thing OG seriously lacks, it's innovation in the strategy/draft department, which surprises me with a player like S4 in the team who was(!) known for being very innovative and coming up with new ideas and strategies. But it was honestly seriously hard watching them play vs SFT today. Even with being rusty they should've put up a better performance than what they did. | ||

Agreed, they're rusty and just like everyone else realize that they need to figure out new stuff. Liquid had a very similar phase when Miracle joined. Speaking of Liquid if TI7 has proven anything it's that you can't be #1 with just one strat/playstyle anymore. TI3 and 4 were classic examples of this but today teams are too good at countering predictable strategies. Imo OG need to learn how to play fast and be more versatile in their core picks (they already did switch Notail/Reso for a game or two so that's a start). More aggressive supports for Fly, more greedy cores/playstyle for Notail just to have those options available would be my hope. | ||
