They can beat empire if they calm their nerves. They beat them all the time. EG was completely outplayed late game, which liquid has increasingly gotten better at that. Also EG looked extremely shaky in the group stages, i figured an "upset" would happen to them eventually in the main stage.

XSS got SK and Eartshaker versus melee cores and little to no lane pressure, MC would also go off in those lanes.

Let's take a look what it takes for a chrono to be good that game:

1. MC needs to catch heroes on the edges of the chrono because they have no ranged damage.
2. He can't catch any of his own heroes in the chrono despite slardar, ember and lone druid generally being in the middle of the fray.
3. He somehow needs to catch a 600+ range Lina in his Chrono or else she will delete him.
4. Earth Spirit can boulder smash through the chrono to keep Void from dealing damage, Eartshaker can throw fissure in to control him, Disruptor can glimpse the Void back out of his chrono or ult on top, Sven can stun him from outside the chrono. In short all their heroes can interact from outside the chrono.
5. They need to deal damage to the targets caught on the edge of chrono with their melee heroes for ice blast to shatter them without grouping up to get hit by stormhammer, lsa, fissure, enchant totem, echo slam, boulder smash, geomagnetic grip, magnetize, kinetic field, static storm.

Also lastpicking Ember Spirit into an Earthshaker lane and a lineup with 5 stuns glimpse static storm, geomagnetic grip, laguna blade and god strength. He couldn't pressure the earthshaker resulting in a 12 minute blink dagger that dunked on them all game and he had to build all defensive items to do little damage and still be an easy pickoff.
