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


They've already been crushing with most of these heroes previously. Only things new so far in 4 games were Chen, Earth Spirit and MC Pugna (Matu played pugna before).

Icefrog better comes up with fundamental changes to the map next patch, cause our boys won't be stop with simple hero nerfs.

I mean before this patch the biggest issue was Miracle and Matu coexisting...besides Bulba making a lot less space than GH and flapping his lip into Kuro's strategy and shot calling .
That's not even a thing now because Matu feels like he reached close to peak form N0tail lane sacrifice 1pos level and gets sacked often .

So yeah they clearly worked hard at least on drafts and either radical patch or targeting their heroes specifically (that others don't even bother picking now) will have to come not to feel like we are the team to stop at pretty much any event

Liquid vs Secret, I still wanna see that series, the battle for the crown of EU!

Liquid looked very rusty in their first game vs Mineski, but after that they have warmed up and wow, I was impressed. If our boys can keep up this consistency, we can win every tourney they attend.

GH wisp, what a monster, Miracle Sven, 18min fountain dive nuff said, MC Pugna, such a hardworker, Matu Veno, reliable as always and Kuro's Chen, saving lives!!

Things get really tricky when Valve wants to stop you in the next patch

I mean are they really gonna nerf kotl wisp Chen or earth spirit that are situational at best for other teams and nobody picks them in pubs?

Shaker's gonna get the hammer sure , and I doubt valve will adapt fast enough to the Pugna trend

Alright, I'm banning myself from watching the rest of this tournament on my phone. I thought I fell asleep during one Liquid game but I actually missed an entire series. Geeze

No, I meant I missed Liquid vs SG and only decided to catch up today. I actually watched the first game but I couldn't recall until I skipped through the entire thing. I've been a good boy today and resisted the urge to watch from my bed.

Liquid in a final again. I've got a good feeling about this. Have they ever lost a grand finals with this squad?

Liquid is just too good. I feel like Icefrog is going to try and take drastic action.

They prefer to try things, rather than maintain streaks. And thats the way to go. They are clearly the better team. 3:2 is the best win for them in order to practice more for harder tournanents. 3:1 is also good just to be safe :D

Liquid just destroying everything. They keep on defending their titles. Starladder, DreamLeague, Epicenter.... TI title defense is next.

They are looking like they did last season. It would be awesome to see a team win back to back TIs, but that is a long way to go.

Amazing to see them in this form after TI, and that is after only a few days of practice, if you can believe the Gh interview. At this point only icefrog can stop us. But i am not worried at all, we have the biggest hero pool of any team right now. Gg wp!

Well at least Kuro was in the lab coming up with new drafts (chen+pugna centered ones are a good example)
And I doubt they just came out of the blue and not from scrims

Obviously.

Still you gotta get on that hype train while it's running.
