Matumba tweets tend to make me feel like things are going to be alright. I forgot there's a 3rd place match, more games!
I think esports is pretty nice.

Yep it is hard, but i don't like Banging the head against the wall. As we all saw Vici Play just 10 heroes with naga / bat the core of all of them. Just BAN the naga, it eats all the reset they have. Why risk it?
Its clear that Kuro learned from Puppey he is the only other captain so stubborn, willing to risk losing just to prove they can outplay opponents best strategy. Even if you prove you can its not worth the risk.
It is the year of the Chinese Teams in TI. If we want to break the curse risking drafts vs top teams is not the way to do it.


yeh,getting a third is not the most satisfying result.
but the naga system will continue, even nerfs in the next patch .
Find the solution instead of always going to ban.
This year is very different,nb win against liquid,vp win against eg,vg or vp will take eslone champion twice
All of it never happened before.so,i believe liquid will break the Ti curse




w33 is the best mid player

A complete overreaction for sure, TL is going to be fine. They also beat Secret (arguably the best team in the world right now) and OG (still pretty dang good team like tier 1.5 ish). I am still happy for the boys, they had a tough hill to climb to even get top 4. if they secure 3rd, that is still a win in my eyes. Top 3 every tourney is guaranteed going to TI. But lets be honest they have won a lot recently too, losing a tourney here and there shouldn't be doom and gloom.. even the best teams lose sometimes with the nature of the game.

As long as they can go into TI without everyone gunning for them specifically, I'm happy.

Liquids execution is pretty good but they need diverse picks.

Ah well they missed the window when they pushed the top lane at 37m and lost 4, with Ursa and Chen being weak heroes to goes to late-game, Liquid was pretty much doomed to lose after that team fight.

Gg wp, good luck next time.

I also disliked the push at top!
At bottom they stayed back, blasted with MC and waited for them to try to jump them. On top they basically walked high-ground and tried too hard.
Oh well. They will get 3th now

Hopefully they never put themselves in a position where they're fighting for 3rd place again.

Your comments and general attitude baffle me, but to each his own I guess. In my world, being third at event like this is far from failure, far from a bad result. Its not a win for sure, but its a good placement. Cant win them all (and there never was a team that would just win all tournaments one by one).

Anyways, Ill keep supporting Liquid even when they struggle vs. tier 2.5 teams (like they did in the past) and if matches for 3rd place arent good enough for you, just dont watch.

The bois are doing fine and who knows, Bucharest may be Liquids major

This major, though a disappointment, is not the final goal. TI is the final goal(again). This time, the bois are more experienced and hardened. I expect to see a rejuvinated Liquid at the next event

I think people in this thread should be allowed to discuss Team Liquid however they want as long it follows the rules and it's civilized. Some of us are just trying to share our thoughts about Liquid after they lost another major.

I don't think any of us have said anything absurdly negative or toxic to be catching nasty attitudes from people who want to make this thread into a positivity only zone.

Right after they lose, i am also a bit negative, and at times even angry. For example, when kuro doesn't ban Naga 3 games in a row. but after an hour or two, that normally goes away, and I am thankful, that we have such an amazing dota team. That's because I am a fan of the team since they had their first NA roster. Those were some pretty dark days my friends. So we should enjoy this while it last, but that's just my opinion. also it's still good to talk about their mistakes too, this is a forum after all. We are here to discuss stuff, not only to praise them all the time.
