I mean, he played well, but it was nothing amazing. No one gets praised for "solid" play, just exceptional play. When you're a professional dota player on a tier 1 team solid play should be a given.

Those drafts - new meta! Such a fun games, cant wait for tomorrow to see more!

The team is definitely gaining experience. And the individual skill and experience of the players is definitely shining.

We are also playing in pretty much every tourney announced, so that should be more than enough testing strats and playing together so we can show our best @ the major.

Maybe people should trust in teams when they pick someone up and not instantly instead shit on them as an awful player.

Just maybe.

ez games ez life. in all seriousness those were 2 pretty good games. still quite some misplays and bad coordination, but you can see their potential. i think the two 9ks work together very well. like i said before has to feel good for miracle to play with a good carry for once. mc and kuro played well as always, minus the fail relocate from kuro in game two. bulba did his job, no big misplays from him. so overall its looking good in liquidland, but of course they still have a lot of room to grow.

He did get caught out of position badly 3 times roughly game1, but showed some nice ulti timings.

And on ogre it's hard to have much of a visible impact, I think the moment that stands out the most is when he again was in no man-s land near rosh, got caught out but Miracle Kuro Relocated and pwned 3 heroes thx to Bulba's positioning :D Or was it a genius move from him, crisply coordinated with the team?

Well it looked like he was just out of position, and kuro+miracle made good use of the situatuon. But maybe it was a bait all along, who knows;)

As long as he brings that kind of strategies and ideas to the team, his positioning and plays don't matter that much. He has good enough mechanics, more than enough experience and pretty good game awareness, what can you want more from position 5?

Miracle has been really lackluster thus far on farming cores. In the OD game he killed the sniper a lot but afterwards got really behind and I daresay made one too many misplays. Hopefully he can clean it up but between this and dreamleague, but I haven't really been impressed. Maybe he's already in season 2 decline, but who knows.

I think his presence on non-farming cores is nice though, maybe he should stick to those.


Ehh, you have to remember Matu takes a lot of the farm priority compared to Notail. Liquid isn't handicapped by their "1" like OG was, so they can distribute the farm better and Miracle doesn't have to be the solution to everything.

That said, I'm sure his play will be elevated more when they get more accustomed to playing together and Kuro learns how to draft for him better.

I think the progression is looking fine for liquid, though we have yet to see them up against true Tier 1 teams.

Well now he got a proper farming mid in Morph as a sole hard carry for the first time, and 24-2 was the score that game when dust settled :D
It's true that Alliance is pretty much Tier2 right now though. I wouldn't be worried about Miracle's performance coming forward still

Ignoring the brainless chain feed by Alliance, this was a nice team setup by Liquid. Two defensive supports really enabled the 9k's this game and miracle Morph was really balling. I think they have real competition on the team as to who has the better liquidman :D

I think our carry-mid combination is at least as good as eg's, maybe even better with some time. Miracle is not yet in his best form, but matu is such a beast.

aw damn, I missed out on the Alliance game... I was sure the wouldn't be another game until Liquid's next game for the BTS quals... Worth it to check out the game vs Alliance if I can find vods later? I don't really mind it if it was onesided
