Is this the first time Liquid as an organisation has had the best team in the world for a game?

I don't know anything about Heroes, but I'm kind of confused how you'd ever call Liquid the best SC2 team. They've never been competitive in Korean team leagues and individually I don't think they've even had a top 16 finish at a WCS Global.

Well in starcraft 2 you cant really say, that one team is the best, as it's a 1v1 game. Most of the time only single players from a team stand out. The tl starcraft team had some good times, but as far as i know never did a player win a gsl or wcs global.

it's pretty iffy to claim winning epicenter makes them the best team in the world. MVP.P was not there XD

Well, its not just epicenter: they have finished top 3-4 in every event this year (except the rather chaotic captain's draft one), including that second place in the Shanghai Majors, losing only to Secret, a team that is hardly a contender for the title of the best team with the performance they have had after the roster change.

And there is also gosu rankings:

Also given how a few other teams literally imploded, being the best in the world right now arguably isn't much of a challenge in the first place. Even OG almost made it

We'll see how things develop at the Major.

Yeah. I mean, they're not clearly the best or anything, but they're the team to beat right now so I think it's fair to give them the title.

MVP and NewBee are up there too, and then there are a bunch of teams which we have to expect to start playing well soon, so it's no guarantee they'll keep the title after Manilla.

highest game average seems pretty unlikey if most of the games are going to be 20minute walk-overs anyways with maybe a couple longer games inbetween

Yes but then he wouldn't have a page full of liquid logos
obviously liquid will also be hard pressed to simultaneously pick the most and the least different heroes over the course of the tournament if we were going for accuracy

You take that logic and get outta here!

Liquid should definitely come into manilla as the favorite though, let's see how they do with the extra pressure. MC is the only one I could see it affecting but his play in offline events has improved so much.

If every team (including Liquid) pick exactly the same number of heroes, his predictions can still work. I choose to see this as his unwavering faith in Liquid against all odds.

To be honest I don't get why any event is even played with Liquid in the first place, it's a travesty to other teams and especially people that bet on Dota to tolerate this pre-determined charade... How is liquid not qualified straight into grand finals where they'll inevitably end up now that they solved Dota really baffles me.
