Yeah MC Timbersaur is not a thing
Yapzor showed us how much we miss Jerax too, his clock/ES were just amazing creating so much space.

Allowing Synderen to have the role Kuro used to have (besides going full retard and giving Jerax Warlock) - simple hero, allowing him to coordinate the team from that 5 position.

Bulba played well, really well timed graves etc. I liked his performance


I really want to see what the team would be like if Bulba and Kuro swapped roles.

It feels like the current meta and the roster changes forced Kuro to try and play aggressive pos 4, but that just don't seem to be his strong point. It was painfully obvious in the last game against escape where the two jerax heroes Tusk and ES were matched against each other: the ES was dominating while the tusk did not really achieve anything. It really shows on the performance on liquids cores: there is not a whole lot you can do as a melee carry like sven or lifestealer if you are getting constantly chain stunned. Maybe there will be a new patch that shifts the meta to somehow more passive supporting and Liquid suddenly finds their game, but I suppose there won't be any patches before Boston qualifiers.

Maybe diretide patch hits this thursday, with the io arcana, and everything was a joke. (I wanna believe t.t)

Seriously how is anyone watching the games still blaming bulba for this? All three cores are shitting the bed and their drafting is awful, but surely kicking bulba will fix this lamo

I Think they need to let bulba play the 4 pos jerax role. I mean that's what he has experience with, being a former offlaner. It feels to me like kuro almost doesn't trust him with those playmaking heroes. In which case why pick him up in the first place. Unless bulba is making the calls in the game. Which doesn't make sense to me, and if he is its not working and they should switch back to kuro. Who's not performing very well on the playmaking heroes anyway.

Edit: I should clarify when I say he has experience. I mean with playmaking skill shot based heroes that don't require much farm that offlaners usually play.

This team is likely to be wrecked by Secret, VP, Escape, F5 iN Boston Major Quals. After that, we Need changes

On the bright side
1, this team is not gg'ing early. they fight it out to the end.
2. They have plenty of heroes and strategies to play.
3. They still have time and the will power to get better

As a pessimist.
1. Liquid has been below average since 6.88b. 8-12 at Ti6, and now this team.
2. They looked overmatched by Europe's best.
3. There is no clear solutions to their problems vs Secret, Escape, VP, etc

It's the tremendous mental pressure having to carry Bulba that caused them to underperform.

I can guarantee it.

+1 on that. Their biggest weakness has been in game shot calling. Its clear that Kuro can not create space and watch the entire map to make the right call. One LAN tournament left for the winter to qualify - Boston major. Last shot to make it right.

Why did Kuro begin to draft again? Didn't it get better when Miracle drafted?

I get the same strange feeling/hunch for this team as I was with Secret RTZ-Envy.
It's like watching my wife park my car. I love her with all my heart and I know she was doing her best, but it's just didn't work out and extremely painful to watch

True and we might have to watch them through the Boston Major. Jerax on EG on the other hand has shown that he could replace PPD as a drafter. Miracle is great game turning player but i don't see the team work out so far.

Cr1t is on EG. Jerax is on OG and isn't drafting.

Miracle didn't draft, just had the icon that series other guys were calling the heroes mostly.

Doubt he could draft anyways well

Im back guys, sno-man did ban me for 10 days for no reason at all. Guess nobody missed me;)
Every time they have another series, i hope they perform better, but against escape they looked so bad. No improvement whatsoever. Im like 95% sure they will not qualify for boston. Well bulba is not the problem, but he also is the problem, if that makes sense. We need a roaming 4, and not a guy who only plays deffensive supports. Kuro obviously has problems with playing 4 role, and being the captain at the same time. So i really dont see what bulba brings to the team...bring jerax back, or get someone like yapzor or dj, then the team will be fine, im sure of it.
