The Main Problem that i see is that in terms of the Draft that Kuroky tries too often to pick the same Heroes over and over again (at Manila Slardar) and today it was Riki. And if this not work Liquid will just lose the Series with maybe a Score of 1-2 or 1-3 It feels like that the Hero Pool is too limited for Liquid to change their Draft but there are over 111 Heroes in the Game. | ||

Eh? I'm pretty sure they went with standard draft because they didn't want to reveal much. Or plain didn't practice it yet and the team did run out of steam in Manilla after the crammed final day schedule and forced focus on Newbee. This tournament is pretty much meaningless besides meta and practice considerations when it's between Major and TI. I'd be shocked if Kuro makes the same cockup like he let S4 do at Secret that S4 keeps doing over and over again over at Alliance and won't have some curve ball picks ready. The boys have already shown they have the balls to go there and completely 180 their draft against Newbee in game 3 when it mattered the most | ||

I really don't know where you are comming from, but if they hadn't done that stupid 2man rosh in game two Liquid was clearly way ahead after outplaying OG for a good 20 minutes. So hwo was that draft not working and how didn't they have a chance to (until that point very convincingly) win a series vs OG? | ||

OG right now has the edge but we saw how close Liquid came to beating them. It should be a great rivalry going into TI6. And Liquid should be motivated as hell to get even better. | ||

So hwo was that draft not working and how didn't they have a chance to (until that point very convincingly) win a series vs OG? Because of Liquid's draft, they had to outplay OG not for 20 minutes, they had to outplay OG in every fight pretty much all game long. And you can't count on outplaying OG every fight, even with a big material advantage. You're going to make mistakes, because everyone makes mistakes. Liquid knows perfectly well how the Lycan/BM draft plays out, they have done the same thing themselves so many times - fail to make impact early, be on the back foot, then win one fight and bye bye rax. That said, there's one thing that's not excusable by drafts, and that's Liquid's tendency to just go in and fight after OG gets a free pickoff. They have done that in Manila, and they did it again yesterday, just go in one at a time and die. In fact there was even a moment when Jerax and MC tried to 2v5 the enemy team, and even though that almost worked out you just don't do that kind of shit against a top team. | ||

They had terrible team chemistry and some of the teammates just hated one another. That was a major factor in their utter failure at the last TI. OG, on the other token, is seemingly going to become one of the most stable rosters out there. There hasn't even been a hint that they will be changing any time soon. I wouldn't expect them to implode like Secret did... At least not in that fashion. They've already proven their resilience by winning a major, going through a short slump, and then winning another while maintaining their roster. In this day of constant swapping that's pretty impressive. That said Liquid is definitely as skilled as OG and I look forward to their matches. | ||
