Can't wait for the games. Liquid doesn't seem like the kind of team that would let itself get rusty in the downtime, so I think some easy wins are coming.

That's inevitable after winning TI
I'd be pretty surprised if we manage to get to the finals even at starladder


I don't think it's necessarily inevitable. I'd imagine the professionalism of a team/organization has a lot to do with how teams behave after winning large events.

Surely the professional decision would have been to compete to maintain the top level instead of taking a two month break like Alliance and Newbee did after they won.


Professionalism includes taking necessary rest time. I don't know enough about the internal workings of the team or organization to say what's actually going on, but I certainly wouldn't be surprised if they've been doing the necessary minimum practice to keep at a high level of play. Typical esports training culture seems kind of toxic as-is anyway.

Think liquid will play worse in the beginning, but don't understand the panic about it. The season has 24 tournaments and the majors give much more points than minor. Also there is a new patch coming, so players will have alot of pratice to do combined with tournaments, so think liquid will be more fresh to put in work then.
For me taking a break before the season seems like the healthy thing to do, and will help them and other teams that haven't over done it in the long term.
Will be fun to watch them in starladder think they are total wildcard and can finish anywhere from first to last without surprising me.

Everyone from Liquid has played a lot Dota after TI. I don't know where these 2 month holidays are coming from but it's fake news.

I fully expect them to rolf stomp this tournament.

Banning against Liquid remains impossible. It only seems to get harder with each game they play.

Edit: Well, that was quick. Liquid just ran over the by far best SEA team. This should bode well for the future.

what have we learned:
1) The boys were rusty indeed
For about 15 minutes
hen proceeded to out execute Mineski like schoolboys
2) Drafts are still there, Kuro has been working hard
Added Pugna, and tbh it was hard to understand their draft but it rolled over Stunless Mineski lategame
With lone Alch, and underfarmed Veno
3) MC has a sick pugna
4) Wisp is still Autowin
That one last game seems enough to secure a first ban wisp for months to come, someone had to test the boys out I guess

I just love when teams give us Wisp.
Definition of insanity is keep doing the same thing over and over and expecting different result.

HAHAHA this is hilarious
Kuro builds drafts around Chen, pushes him every game
People start trying to ban it first
BAM
Kuro will be back to KOTL and other drafts -,-

I woke up just in time for the post series interview and Liquid remains the best at being the worst team for people to have to interview after games. I guess they can't help it because of their personalities and the need to protect information but it's just funny to me.

I don't think the interviewer in this case is very good either

The interesting thing about that is that I really don't think Chen is worth banning, at least compared to the other heroes in Liquid's pool. The safe move still seems to be Wisp + MC hero.
NO MORE CHEN NERFS!!!

Yeah but which MC hero? Legion Commander? Earthshaker? NP? Pugna? Sandking? The problem with banning vs Liquid is all of their players have large hero pools, Matu has the smallest and he still has enough that it doesnt matter

it seems like this whole time LQ find a way to increase their hero choice which is really confusing for banning.
Gh: io,Earth Shaker, Earth Spirit, kotl, slardar
kuro: tusk, cm, visage, witch doctor, lich and aa (now he even plays chen)

ban io - es picked, ban both, sladar/kotl (now need to add earth spirit)
ban NP for split push - matum got BM (then we see mc go for dark seer - and now there is pugna)

not to mention miracle: am, invo now even sven and alch

I remember when gh picked es no one thought of it much after awhile even io was second ban to es. Also look how kuro gather those creep for magic resistance ...
