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

And you need to work on your negativity. The boys are still in it;)


They need to work on their plays, you can't be mad at me after watching those 3 1/2 games! They made me negative, not me.

Anyways, jokes aside, that might've been Liquid's best game this tournament? Kuro and Gh played out of their minds, Matu putting some real work in as Viper, Miracle with the huge save on Matu, and MC with all around solid play.

I hope we have used the loss yesterday against LGD to prepare for them, otherwise we might get dumpstered again

u must have only watched the 3rd game? the first game was painful to watch almost, with so many spells missed, and the 2nd was almost the same until FTM began to throw. Luckily they began to come into their usual form in the 3rd game

I've noticed Liquid gets caught by LGD's smokes every time whereas their own smokes seem very ineffective. Feels like LGD know Liquid better than vice versa.

Not only by LGDs smokes. They somehow have forgotten how to smoke or do/fake roshan
Now its time for real man go rapier

€dit: Their drafts are also a little to creative

After all this is a year where a chinese team should win TI. They played good, we didnt. They won.
BUTthe meta changes dramatically every 2 weeks. So we don't know what will happen until TI. We got a couple more majors to win one, just for having one.

Before the negative squad comes here like always: that Game 3 was so painful to watch, what a throw. we had that game in the bag...well really sucks, that we seem to be cursed to never win a major, but life goes on. 2nd place is still pretty good.

I still get upset thinking back on the overextensions in game 1 and 3 but all in all LGD just played better with less mistakes and definitely deserved the win here. We will get em next time!

Liquid is just too inconsistent to win a tournament at the moment. They're also shooting themselves in the foot with these drafts. It feels like they're constantly picking weaker heroes to "counter" stronger ones and the stronger ones always win out.

the drafts on main stage... i don't know what is Kuroky thinking, even the panelist every time they couldn't believe in the drafts, the only times they predicted a Liquid win was becasue "They're Liquid and they are the better team".
But even the better team with shitty drafts cannot win anything "major" like.

I think Liquid looks good but there are definitely a couple of flaws in the machinery.

I think that part of the issue is related to GH. GH is not doing bad, but the meta is not working in his favor. At TI every draft discussion was about which of his heroes the opponent is going to let him get. ES, Io, KotL? Pick your poison. Matumba was similiar story, his broodmother and lycan dominated in multiple games.

The last few tournaments both GH and Matumba have been rather "neutral". Matumba play something like ~viper/dp and GH gets a ~clockwork/NS/SK hero. I barely remember what they play to be honest. It is all on Miracle to carry the game.

And if it something that has been proven beyond any reason of doubt the last 8 months is that one core lineup does NOT work.
