Hyped to see Liquid play again, the potential of this roster is so scary

What would you suggest the analysts do and what should they use as their tools?


Depending on their budget, they can use different BI Tools like IBM Cognos, SAP BO or Qlikview..
I think the steam API for dota is open in some way, because there re a lot of informations used by common websites. The other way around, Iam not sure if the DB from dotabuff is open. Anyway - there is a way to get all data.

You can do so much with known technology as an analyst. Just ask for people who re analysing soccer teams. I have a friend that works for a german first league soccer club as an analyst.

As a dota team you should invest in a IT-team or analyst that knows their work. Its a young sport, okay I get it, but building up the financial structure for it should not be a huge problem... its more about e-sport not using the potential they have.

Damn, I can't believe I missed watching the WellPlay matches live. It just isn't the same when you watch highlight videos or even the VODs especially after I spoiled myself on the results.

Nice to see them being successful using some interesting hero choices that weren't that viable last patch.

The new meta suggests that higher skill will pay off more,as people still havent figured out refined lineups for the certain strategies, movements or counters to enemy playstyle. So we should be able to be if not dominant than at least being able to win against any team.
On paper more jungle means very good news for greedy lineups, even for the offlane. MC always performed top level with early farm and levels. GH god looks stable. Miracle and Matu can now find farm for both of them. So this patch should be very good for Liquid

Well, the first game/map in the new patch was quite onesided! Just keep that up
There can only be one Geisterkarle

Can't watch it, but in gosu gamers it's registered liquid played with bulbo lol
Anyway, these teams in WellPlay won't offer too much resistence, but liquid didn't managed to qualify for any big lans yet, so that will have to do

Yeah I think they need to baby sit their cores more, Empire completely shut down their cores from the get go.
Why are my allies so weak and pathetic?

Doesn't really feel like Liquid is playing on the 7.00 patch.

Drafts are very similar to before with the exception of Visage and that pick isn't even working out for them. They got outdrafted in the last two games massively. Support picks are complete ass at laning so they get stomped from the start.

let's face it, they still suck but try stuff and think they will win, might as well start playing solid first and then try out sh*t

This is the first time we've seen a team be a big threat towards this new lineup in a long while and they lost. They definitely have issues but it's shortly after the biggest patches ever too.

Hopefully this was just an off day for Liquid. Maybe they can learn from this loss for future tournaments.

I've seen miracle on magnus end in only three ways : Bad, Very Bad or Disaster. Couldn't watch the first two games but game three, was deffo a draft/strategic issue. It happened before it will happen in the future, hopefully not very often.

Miracle has to learn it, GH needs to get settled into T1 support role.

Don't be so results oriented guys, as far as I'm concerned until Major qualifier comes the main goal is to get better rather than to win

I am surprised by their drafts.
Its rly far away from 700/701

No Underlord, no Lycan, No broodmother.. just their standard + visage.

As far as I can remember Miracle played an excellent mid Mag for OG one or two times.

I agree.

The results from WellPlay are definitely not a good look for them but let's wait for them to lose something important before we judge them so harshly. This was a small tournament of very little worth right before the holidays and on a new patch. Upsets happen all the time. If those upsets keep happening, then we should be concerned, but this was just one series.

Lycan isn't in CM so that explains that one at least
