Finally good feeling after a series. They showed some discipline, and that paid off. Nailbater, but feels good! Well done.

That was a trainwreck. And yes, I'm on board with the bulba hate train.

I really feel that this change in style is all due to him. He's not mechanically skilled, so he plays defensive supports, in a position that used to be Kuro's. Kuroky is forced to go roaming, tempo controlling supports that really don't suit him. He's the "stay back and farm the jungle" kind of support. And Miracle can't find his place in a team without a dedicated playmaker like Cr1t.

If they hadn't lost Jerax, this team would be incredibly succesful. But Bulba just doesn't work.


Maybe, maybe not. Blaming Bulba for all the team's issues is misguided. They stick around too long in fights that they've won and then feed back kills. They dive too deep and give up kills they shouldn't. Is Jerax the shot caller that's going to make the calls for his team to stop them from doing this? I doubt it as he's reportedly very quiet. Every game there are too many bad laning decisions and too many mistakes that are spread out over the entire team. Bulba will never be the best player on this team, but from what I've seen he's been far from the worst.


They also had issues before the bulba began. Not being able to crack OG at the end of their success before TI, showed a lot of problems, but still they were top5 in the world.
No one blames only bulba, but bulba is one of their issues. The style does not fit this team. Even if he would be the best player, it does not work with bulba. EG not working with bulba, secret not working with bulba.. he needs to find a spot were he belongs to, and a tier 1 team is not that spot.
No one can say, that he performs like a tier 1 player. no one can say he ever performed like a tier 1 player in EG, TT, Secret and this liquid period.

Secret, Vega, Ad Finem, VP all have better 3/4/5 imo. Kuro and MC looked better than they are b/c jerax was abusing ES and Tusk before the nerfs. Bulba has always been smart, but lacking some skill.

IF liquid want to keep their 18k mmr 1-2 punch, the 3/4/5 need to get better or be replaced.

I agree that Kuro and MC have not performed up to standards. It's hard for me to criticize MC because he is the only fellow bulgarian at the highest level, but he needs to step it up.

You're looking at MMR and skill here
But paradoxically I think Matumba and Miracle co-habiting in a team are actually the biggest thing that needs to be worked out

Bulba is playing pretty well. I think hes the only player playing up to expectations, and hes beating them. Miracle and Matu are having all the issues people thought rtz and sumail would have splitting farm and lane babysitting.

Im not feeling that vibe, Liquid are clearly improving

Why don't esports fans seem to understand and embrace the concept of form as most other sports do?

truth, the team is fine they are figuring out picks and playstyle right now which is why we see swings in play. Bulba is playing a good 5th position so stop pooping all over him people

Pretty sure he wouldn't be shit on if people didn't keep mentioning Bulba and winning TI at the same time.

People are happy to support mid tier players that achieve more than they're expected to. Not so much support for players who are hyped to the moon by peers and fall flat every single time.
