LFY looking scary af and unlikely to choke again like during Epicenter so it's gonna be tough but I believe.

Somehow I don't fear LFY at all. EG going to be the hardest competition.

You have to take it one game at a time or you are going to find yourself in the lower bracket or out. Experimenting is good in the groups but liquid can also throw advantages and against better teams they will get punished. Being outdrafted or picking too greedy is always a possibility. So yeah, one game at a time guys. I am not even mentioning the slight margins by which you need to be better than your opponent and all the factors that need to be right for you to win ti

I think the reason that both Liquid and LFY are dominating rn is the fact that they bootcamped together after Kiev. Both teams are mess during Kiev season, LFY shuffled, Liquid only placing top 8 and always being beaten by IG then. After the bootcamp at MarsMedia, both teams were dominant at Epicenter and only they can beat each other, because Liquid now knows chinese dota better than most western teams and LFY picking up Liquid's versatility. Even gh gave Super a special thanks on twitter. So both teams got a lot stronger because of each other.

Looking forward for LFY vs Liquid.

Ez first place. Now serious - the easy part is over, the boyz allowed themselves some clowny plays, some clowny picks it was fun.
Now the serious part of the event starts and there will be very tough make no mistake. I am also not scared of LFY. People from top teams will study them( probably already dud( and their rotations will not work anymore. I mean come on you cant only rely on fighting and not touch the farm in the jungle. I am also more scared of teams that can crush you at any point if you make a mistake - VP, LGD, EG and even OG are more scary than LFY.
First game vs IG will be tough but if we dont screw up the draft ( kuro improved a lot in that department in the last quarter), it should be easy win. Then probably EG - the real challoenge. Once and if we win against them the season will be salvaged, with the top 3 placement. And they can play more calmly and get the aegis.
Even if they don't top 3 should be enough to keep the team togheter.

GL to our boys, fingers AND toes crossed.

P.S. It will be tough week for us - Europeans as watching dota til 4-5 AM then going to work in the morning is not an easy task

Currently have TL comming in 2nd while EG takes it all despite comming from lower bracket... maybe I should put TL 3 - 0 EG in grand finals after all 🤔

But for the first time I actually feel like I have the upper hand in my bet with Emnjay!

[image loading]

We did the same during majors as well and I don't have to tell you how THAT went... right? This might be the year I don't have to watch a series about a 15year old animu girl having to become a voice actress to record her moaning sounds for hentai

I'm afraid to ask... but have to:
Is this just random mumbojumbo or is there really an anime about that????

Liquid all the way!

Synopsis from MAL:

Synopsis
Being asked to work as a voice actress at a game company might not be so bad, unless you are Kanna Aoyagi. On her 16th birthday, her older sister Yayoi guilts Kanna into doing voice work for her at Blue March, a game company that specializes in eroge: erotic games with lots of sexual content.

Sweet and innocent, Kanna has no idea how she can possibly succeed at such an occupation when she has no sexual experience. But as she plays eroge for research, uses her vivid imagination, and receives unorthodox help from her coworkers, Kanna slowly becomes more comfortable with her new, embarrassing profession.

before you ask again: no, it's not actually porn itself. That would also go too far. I'm also only going to choose from normal 1-cour, single season stuff, 12-13 episode (or less) stuff.
So no "ha, you lost. Go watch 6158159158 episodes of Naruto"... but the more I think about this the more I'm setting myself up for defeat here so I'll just sit back for a while

Don't like their draft here, very little synergy. They did go back to the bristle tusk but there's no sustain to leverage the bristleback or stuns to abuse the invoker. GH on a passive hero while Kuro roams has also usually not worked out well for them. Fingers crossed.

They planned for something different, but backed away. Very bad time to get outdrafted hard. First time it happened this ti. Drafting is easy with that kind of advantage with IO KOTL. But they didnt ban NS, and couldnt pick KOTL and it was gg from there. You cant play with no vision in that level of play. After that throw they cant slipup anymore.

P.S. Just gg and end the struggle guys, you failed in the draft too bad.

Ugh, what is this draft man? It doesn't even remotely resemble their successful lineups in the group stages.

Yeah, I might not be a 9k player but I really don't get what a support visage was supposed to do this game? Or did they plan on running it as a core and just changed their mind mid-draft?
