Feels good to also have the TI tickets in the bag now.
Hopefully we can keep our epicenter streak and take home the first major for us!

IDC TI or Epicenter win, all I care is dodging Bo1s.

My hatred for Bo1s trumps everything else at this point. I feel like I won the lottery today

Its just a really bad system for dota, and liquid in particular are pretty bad at it. Really glad we avoided that shit;)

Liquid dominating their group looks even better now with how the playoffs went so far.

Looks like we're not going to get Liquid vs. VP this tournament after all. I'm kind of disappointed, but I guess not every team can be as consistent as Liquid.

consistent as liquid not winning a single major after TI?

kidding aside, liquid seems pretty confirmed on winning this tournament with VP bombing out so badly, unless LGD/FTM plays the games of their lives against liquid, but with liquid comfortably outplaying the rest of the teams so far i don't see it happening

This is why you gotta appreciate the Liquid consistency. Some folks were overly harsh on them because they weren't VP but do you want them to be VP now?

Also, I miss last year's Epicenter intros. Not a fan of this year's.

So much with the consistency.Our boys deserved it. You can't get that cocky in picking morph first pick. He was a non factor that entire game. We got what we asked for. I thought that Kuro will draft a morph support, but nope. First time we lose our focus and we look bad. Its the same every time - but i am pretty sure we will not do that in game two. And things will look very different.

oh cmon, morph pick was fine, they just needed miracle to get a good lane so maybe putting him mid wasnt a good idea. if miracle didnt die early a few more times and liquid got out of the laning phase better, they would hit their standard 20min timing push(which they did in this game). the draft was entirely liquid comfort heroes - they just got the lgd train rolling too early and then they lost their timing.

if lgd wasn't as fed liquid will just steamroll them 20min, imagine what would an underfed storm/sandking against underlord + es + veno teamfight to save morph anytime they could get out - what would lgd do? draft was fine, just a few misplays here and there led the game being snowballed out of control

Liquid are getting the shit stomped out of them. Their drafts looked so lost and confused at the moment and their play is just as bad.

Dude, they got Ahead of laning phase. And so what? Forcing morph into second item BKB means game over. This hero without the shotgun timing is not that scary. So why were LGD fed? Because they got heroes that counter our draft. Chain stun lock for days.
Same happened last game. Draft was OKish , but this time MC played bad, and itemased badly. Tthat Axe + Skyrath combo killed matu's midagme, so there was it.
Just shows how important draft is these days. There are more than two teams with good understanding of the game. So if you draft poor you lose.

I hope Liquid doesn't draft that bad in the grand finals if they even make it.

Second game felt like they lost to a generic meta team while they were picking Ursa and Enigma. Obviously, MC's positioning was horrible, but both Ursa and Enigma didn't look too good either. Dotabuff shows the last time Liquid has had success with Ursa was 7 months ago. It's worthwhile to test out Enigma but Ursa has failed them so many times and has received minimal buffs, I'm not sure why they insist on trying to make him a thing.

No worries. LGD game was a throw. They had obligations to the sponsors to play a minimum amount of games - this is why they had to go via the losers bracket.

It feels like Liquid doesn't even simply lose tournaments anymore, they do well for a while and then completely bomb out.
