Welp, we might get to play Alliance anyway :D

Now that would be one hell of a match these days.

So proud of my boy Kuroky and the team!

Amazing performance so far. Hopefully they can stay on their level!

Hey guys, I've been making an effort to stop being so negative, so I stayed away from posting for the past couple of weeks. I was so happy when Liquid qualified for the Major. I'm hoping for a championship at Starladder. Let's go Liquid!

Always a silver lining baby

I don't think we're going to get Earth Spirit again so it's going to be even harder :/

the only positive thing is that a choke on that level should not repeat itself at Shanghai :/

now it seems more correctly but the thing is invs were sent before todays game where liquid had a score like 5 or 6-0 against alliance so the take is the same. if the invs were now it would be right to inv both liquid and alliance i think

creates account to troll fan forum...

Liquid got baited into drafting dp and no stuns, she's so mediocre without lockdown to help her out. Kinda feels like kky got mind gamed. Oh, and MC still needs to learn how to pro dota under pressure, been a while since he looked that bad on dark seer

Fair point. Alliance>Liquid>VP? if re-inviting?

I always thought the WCA win was undervalued too much. But anyways good games!

Mind_Control is going to get kicked after the Shanghai Major when the transfer window opens up again. And I don't think anyone's ever going to give FATA a Death Prophet again. His play on that hero was embarassingly bad, but on top of it all Death Prophet's win rate in pro games is about 25%, so the fact the hero was even picked is on kuroky's shoulders.

I'm a bit sad it ended like this, it feels like nerves played a big role in those games. In general I feel Mind_control is underwhelming and limited. Most of the games Liquid stomped in the group stage where were he was just staying in his lane. His Dark Seer is good but at the same time never feels like it wins games and Liquid highly prioritize it.
I think esports is pretty nice.

today everyone played bad i dont think kuro is thinking about kicking players. its still 3th-4th at starladder. its alliance's patch but liquid looks good at it too.

Let's not be too hasty, good offlaners aren't that easy to come by. MC's vacuum-walls have won more fights than I can count in the past.

There were some apparent issues in communication though, such as making Jerax go back and forth in game 2, or the fight call in game 1 where Jerax just saved Matumbaman but then they turned and fought for no reason.

Strategy-wise I feel like going dual-core with proper scaling cores with reliable damage output is the way to go this patch (so far at least), all the Death Prophets and Zeuses and QoPs failed flat on their face. It just seems too easy to shut down the 1 position hero or isolate him in fights and then the team is left without any damage output that doesn't revolve around cooldowns and/or just magic damage.

Edit: also I had a gut feeling that Alliance was going to win this tournament since like day 2. We'll see what happens, EG might have just enough raw quality to stop their momentum.
