GH Is way better on it
Miracle historically is bad on initiators though (Nyx, Magnus, now slardar was meh) - they just don't suit his tempo

Wonder what they'll gonna do - this tournament was clearly to test it out to get ready for the Major

Yo get your shit straight, liquid is a team, and they probably made this decision as a team. GH naga was great btw. It's all fine, Kiev is the big deal this month.

Welp. Back to the drawing board. Boys will have to figure out what happened for the major, could be a good thing in the long run

Again not really have to figure anything out, they were trying new shit out with the GH swaps

Shit happens in BO1s.

I don't think they failed nearly as hard as people are implying but sometimes lower bracket BO1s are a thing and that's that.

Well i know you cant win every tournament, but last place is brutal. Especially because we were supposed to be in good form

Meanwhile og is in top form, which annoys me a little bit. I dont know somehow fly gets his shit together when it really matters, and kuro doesnt. And he has weaker players too overall.

this is already their best strategy to win the game, gh played very solid naga games, but when other players not in their best conditions... MC played godawful last game, that was the worst Magnus show in DAC so far.

If only this was bo3, pretty sure Liquid will come on top. Chin up, guys.

Although, i'm now wondering, what happened between starladder and dac?

They didn't bootcamp.

Liquid already went through a pretty lengthy bootcamp for the Starladder and DAC qualifiers so I assumed they skipped one this time in order to avoid fatigue within the team. Every bootcamp has been essential in the team's ability to play at the top level. Hopefully, they bootcamp for the Kiev Major and perform well there though.

Is not bootcamping really such a big deal? As an outsider i cant tell. If it is that important, then that makes this less surprising, because most of the other teams did bootcamp as far as i know.

Yeah, Liquid does really well after bootcamps. The Boston Majors qualifier bootcamp was a huge turn around for the Bulba lineup and the GH lineup really started to shine during the bootcamp for the Starladder and DAC qualifiers. I hope a Kiev bootcamp can really bring the team back together and help them come up with more strategies, they still did okay at DAC in my mind but clearly not at the top of their game consistently.

You could pull this off if you did it before the game, after the fact callouts are cheap shots.

It feels to me like the Naga was Liquids most reliable strategy going into the tournament and that's why they played it vs Faceless. While Naga is good I don't think it has the same level of inevitability it had before the illusion nerfs. I hope Liquid plays more pro-active dota in the future, the 4 protect one strats don't seem suited towards a team with such potential for playmaking.

Matumbaman has been lacking an identity as a carry where none of his heroes besides perhaps the Lone Druid are ban material. Makes it really easy for teams to ban the GH Gandalf/ Io and the Miracle Invoker. MC also doesn't warrant any bans because his impact varies a lot depending on whether he can splitpush/ initiate with short CD's as opposed to when he has to play a supportive role to his cores.
I think esports is pretty nice.
