liquid will do well if they don't outdraft themselves. they tasted winning on the main stage, so at least i think they got over the hurdle that EG didn't.. it probably will be better off now. at least if they lose now i don't think it would be just liquid playing like a complete mess/kuro drafting themselves retarded hero compositions but just straight out stellar play from their opponents

Well, today is the day. If liquid gets their shit together and dominate in a 2-0 they might be the only hope left to the old tradition of CN taking turns with western teams.

Im not that woried about empire, if we play our Game, and ban their core heroes, we should win. Vp on the other hand will be very difficult. Lets hope they go from cis slayers to china slayers;)

Liquid was the only team that got through lower bracket without 2-0 their opponent. You could say secret power level was above tnc, dc and eg, but OG and LGD seemed much more comfortable.

Secret power level is definitely below EG and TNC but Liquid got hugely outdrafted there. Even Kuro mentioned it in his interview.

VP been awful in this tournament. They are not consistent team. Hopefully a bad VP team appears today.

We got outdrafted 2 out of 3 games vs secred game 3 was evenish. We won because we are better.
But same level of draft against Vp is a No No! We will get crushed in 15 mins tops. All we need is stable drafts vs both CiS teams - vs Empire should be easier, vs VP we need to be careful not to feed too much, and if a little bit behind wait for them to overextend and take it from there. But once again DRAFT is the most important thing.
Things to note
-DO NOT get 4 melee heroes and no stuns vs Sven/Ursa/Jugg + Magnus
-Do not pick useless heroes for GH like Visage
-Do NOT pick more than 1 heavy unfavourable lane, especially not mid
-DO NOT pick Void with 3 heroes that do nothing in to Chrono.
Finally please give a hero to miracle that he can shine on.

We got a day off to learn from the mistakes, and adapt to the meta, If we get through today it will be a big step forward to the ultimate goal! No more easy games, only 100% focus is needed! GL Guys!

How has VP been awful? If it wasn't for that highground push they would have probably won against LFY in game two. I also wouldn't underestimate Empire, they could very well be the dark horse of this years tournament. If they can bring their A game, Liquid has a tough series ahead of them. But it is to be expected this deep into the tournament, no opponent will be an easy opponent. Nonetheless I agree that if both teams play at their absolute best, Liquid will come out victorious, it's just a matter of who will bring their A game today.

Hi everyone, I have been following the thread for a really long time but never engaged till now although I always enjoyed your discussions . Since the game is coming closer (just three hours) and stress is already killing me, I thought of taking the time and write my first post. Good luck TL we believe in you!
If you go over your limits, would you be able to go back?

At epicenter he played a really good disruptor, he totally destroyed an s4 puck one game at epicenter. His rubick is amazing too, as is his slardar. But the draft needs to fit these heroes of course.

I would also add Tusk although I do not really like him in this meta

Agreed but I still think that GH can be quite effective as a tusk or lion for that matter, at least quite better than his visage ( at least from what I remember from those old games :D )
