EPTMatu is benched by Liquid and I assume leaving once the contract is over. Feels sad to see one of the longest lasting Dota teams lose a member. With Epicenter and TI coming up real soon, I wonder who they will pick up.

So I assume this is really them making that decision themselves because they're not happy with their results... Sad day for us Liquidfans | ||

He's a very good player but his ability to do what he's best at is very patch dependent. I think he's played very well this season but that's mainly when Ursa was good which he no longer is which means Matu kinda doesn't do his job. | ||

Well they couldn't win TI9 playing same playstyle relying on Miracle- as win condition every damn game, with Matu playing 'sacrificial' carry or some niche mid. I suppose they understood 2nd at Paris Disney major only masked their problems & they realised they hit the wall at Epi EU qualifier group stage? <where even NInoff wrote a shoutout in OG thread being proffesional> But sheesh when probable top 6 at TI is not good enough & have to take more high risk to improve? whew edit: I still think Matu could play the real carry - best of luck to all the players! | ||

Edit: Rant: People (esp. reddit) complain about wanting a DPC total rulebook of very rule, but this is another reason why it's so hard to make all the rules upfront. The previous discretionary way was better & I would make TL not direct-qualified for TI. | ||

No matter what was and what will be - this is an end of an era. Thank you MATU, all the best in whatever you chose to do now. This iteration of Liquid will always have very special place in my heart. I am very curious how will the new roster fare. Lets go Liquid! | ||

I can't say this was entirely unexpected, but I still hate that it happened. I so, so wanted this to be the roster to win 2 TI's. All the best to Matu. I hope he finds a home where he can truly shine like the fantastic carry player I know he is. And I hope whomever Liquid has found to replace him can synergize well with the team. Having made a change like this to such a storied and successful roster, good results are not optional. | ||

You make him play the shitty sacrificial role, then you sack him? You should try enabling him for once instead of always relying on Miracle to carry you and get a comeback. Enabling Matu will lessen the burden for Miracle, at the same time, give Matu inspiration to keep playing. If you need to make a roster change, it should be Kuro. He should focus on coaching and analysis. He is not a good pos 5. He hardly wards, he plays passive, and he feeds a lot. TL need a true pos 5. | ||

Miracle is sometimes mid sometimes safe, i like qojqva for Matu replacement of the known players. | ||
