When did it become our goal to be okay? Every TL game these days is like watching a kitten stumble across the road where we just pray it makes it to the other side. When we win I feel relief. with FATA and Jerax we used to destroy teams, there was no fear of losing to tier 2 teams in a BO3. You say we can beat any team with a bit of luck, but we can also lose to any team. Dota 2 is a skill based game, you don't need luck if you're better than the opponent. TL is not lacking in individual skill even when you compare it to the dominant Liquid with Fata and Jerax. So why does the team's performances not add up to their MMR? The most obvious answer is because the pieces don't stack, and they haven't stacked for months. At some point you have to come the the conclusion that the pieces aren't coming together and that the pzuzle requires a different approach. That could be trough roleswaps, getting a sub to see what changes in the team dynamic or more radical, making roster changes. I'd love to see anything that indicates they're working hard to find a way to make the team gel.

That said I still love Team Liquid and I only want to see them succeed, not disband. I only ask for Kuro to consider my faint heart when he crosses the road.

I like how in the interview after the Kiev Major, Ana says when it becomes late game and during big team fights that he starts to captain the team. Then Fly just says when that happens he takes a back seat because he is "just a Dazzle." You can shit on his laning all you want, but it is no doubt that Ana knows how to think one step ahead of his opponents.

That kind of dynamic is what a championship team is made of. No idea how Liquid handles the shot calling ingame, but instead of switching players they can do some team building exercises.

I remember Matu saying the game at Starladder where they played rat Dota with BM, Morph, and Io that Gh and MC were making decisions and calling shots while Kuro was very quiet that game.

It looks kind of crazy for Liquid to reshuffle. It isn't like they are lacking talent. Simply bewildering how they aren't finding success with this roster.

Why are we not attending The Summit? I mean there is still two invite slots, but those are reserved for EG and OG. Maybe there is a chance we get it if, but that's if one of them decides not to attend but i doubt that someone will discard a direct invite for a 3-4 day lan that lets you scrim with top teams.
