He's allowed to wait until 28, and he's 22 now. So it's fine.

I was just checking Liquid's stats with this current TI WINNING squad and realized that Matumbaman's Necrophos is 15-1.

Really shows his versatility. Dude can play pretty much everything it feels like. And it really highlights how goddamn impossible it was for teams to ban against Liquid.

Necrophos should be removed or remade. Boring noob hero and I can't really congratulate a team that wins with it.

so many saltlords complaining that liquid won by cheesing opponents. they saw the opportunity in drafts and seized them. the players had the skill and versatility to play the best hero for the situation. and even if there was some elements of cheese, surely it's better than being a one trick pony team

Don't be such a textbook scrub, man. Why would Liquid handicap themselves over this "rule" of yours the game cares nothing about?

Congratulations to Liquid and especially to Kuro .

Trolllllll

Also really cool stat, Liquid played 19 main stage games. Newbee only played 10, I think in many ways dropping so early to LB was a really big help for getting their momentum rolling and for them to learn.

Congrats to liquid on their TI victory. Total and complete dominance in the finals against Newbee. I myself am not the biggest fan but enjoyed watching their games and am glad that Kuro was finally able to lift that Aegis.

Every time I think about DotA (so, pretty often) I have big banana grin on my face :D

I keep watching their games haha :D
So happy for Liquid as a whole, seems to me Kuro was always the "adult in the room" whatever team he was in (I may be wrong but it's my perception anyway) and it's nice to see him rich now =)
GH is such a monster, Miracle obviously prodigy player, Macumba solid and reliable him and MC make so many sick plays.

When Jerax left I thought Liquid was done for, and suddenly a wild GH appeared and crushed :D

yeah i thought its all over for us when jerax left. I didn't even believe gh can even fill that gap, but damn he was hands down the best player on this squad the whole TI

I'm honestly so impressed with the variety of styles Liquid pulled out in this tournament. Like, 100-minute farm-fests waiting for the other team to make a mistake? Check. Deathball push strats? Check. Horrifying rat dota? Check. Straightforward "win teamfights and then hit buildings" games? Check. Did you leave yourself open to Brood and/or Huskar? Joke's on you, we play both of them!

I'm not saying every style they play is the most entertaining thing to watch, but you gotta respect a team that will just play any style they think will win this game, and then completely switch it up the next.

The thing to take away from this is clearly to never doubt Kuro, so everyone stop with that already

I managed to get some footage of Kuroky when he read your comment:

Honestly get off your high horse, they found something that worked and its not like they ran necro every game. What's next: you don't like MC because he doesn't like olives? You disagree with the color choice of matumbas shorts? Lol get over yourself kid.

(To clarify: I have no clue if MC likes olives or not)

Anybody else still wishing that they'll find a way to make GH core Naga work again?

The way he plays that hero is so fucked up that it's just beautiful.
