Well after some sleep i was able to calm down. I feel bad for being so salty yesterday. it was a bad game to throw that hard, but i think the guys themself know that best. Still love the boys, and i hope they all stick together.

Maybe there is a Curse because the Team Liquid from TI 3 got the same final Place (7-8th).

During this TI we proved one thing - the only team that can beat Team Liquid is... Team Liquid.
Most of our losses were either draft issues, or a big mistakes during the games. I mean just from the past two days Liquid lost two games after one of they had one of the most dominant early 20 minutes during the event - they made the other teams look silly. But...

The two strongest teams dropped so early because of cockiness.

Next year you got to show the teams more respect, and follow the golden rule - when ahead, get more ahead, and wait for your opportunity. Losing after that kind of a throw hurts. A lot.

After all it has been an amazing year, TL for the first time has a dota2 team that can beat anyone anytime, and i'm sure that with the experience they got during this years run, they will get the big win next year.

Im really curious what alliance will do now. It's pretty obvious, that the team doesnt work out. They had more then enough time to fix their problems, change things up, or try new stuff. But from what i mostly saw, they were more focused playing Pub games with some girls. Thats not how you win high level games. Dont get me wrong, this is not a hate Post, i really wanted liquid vs alliance in the LB.

clam down, bro, liquid come back stronger xD

I mean i dont see how changing any player will make the team better. Everybody is really good at their position. And I fully agree with NInoff, they beat themselves this time. Because we saw what happens, when they good and solid dota. A team like Newbee were dismantled like a tier 3 team. They just need to work on their mental and draft issues, and im sure they will do a lot better next year.

It depends on what the atmosphere in the team is, as usual in the post-TI phase. Disbands are typically more likely than not though.

This seems to be a consistent issue for many of the teams. Your biggest opponent, especially at TI, is yourself. Resolution said it after their loss vs Wings, n0tail said it after their loss vs TNC. When I think about it, I have no idea what it actually means, but everyone seems to agree. Maybe it's a mix of assuming that you are going to win, and then focusing too much on yourself instead of working as a unit, resulting in sloppy plays before your team is there to back you up (or drafts if you're the drafter for your team - not taking your players into account when setting up your strategy with the draft).
When you came along so righteous with a new national hate, so convincing is the ardor of war and of men, it's harder to breathe than to believe you're a friend. The wars at home, the wars abroad, all soaked in blood and lies and fraud.

I think they have an amazing team. Their teamfights are among the very best.

If they want to they can just keep trucking.

now that the initial rage has died down a bit I really really hope they stick together, but I fear that if JerAx gets snatched by another team matumba might just follow :/

I just doing the same thing u always did in Alliance thread. why are u so mad? i remind u watch game2 of liquid vs fnatic and game 2 of alliance vs fnatic. both were far ahead and threw away. Since u said, alliance is still bad, how about ur team? they didn't even make UB and lost to the same team 0-2, don't get me wrong, this is not a hate Post, i really wanted liquid vs alliance in the LB, lul

I don't think there's any questions that this team's way better than Alliance and has a lot more potential - 3/5 never played TI in a favourite position, especially Matumba seemed like he didn't sleep in a week.
They are developing their style and are gaining experience.

Alliance on the other hand can either stay forever mediocre in their comfort zone with almost no potential to be great
Or do what everyone expects and shuffle in new players.


Liquid leadership should play a big role here, I hope Naz and other people upstairs try to be the moulding factor that pushes the team to stay together. Top8 TI for Team Liquid is one damn great success if you look at the big picture.
Much is the father figure that I miss in my life. Go Daddy! DoC.LemOn, LemOn[5thF]

Well lets hope they stay together. As of yet none of the players said anything on social media. Jerax and matumba are normally fairly active on Twitter. They must still be shocked. Stay strong guys!

Well you were trying to discuss with Alliance fans on the Alliance thread on how our team is playing with girls and whats next for us as we are clearly done so there isnt really any discussion to be made with you anyway just teasing which is fine i guess but you had it coming after coming to [A] thread just after the team got knocked out , and FYI liquid played unproffesional dota in that game 2 going "im too sexy for my self" mode you do in pubs where you try to build your hero to be the star , AC on Matumba and Heart on AXE just to keep wrecking Fnatic disregarding what the TEAM needed.
I hope they stay together , Liquid is a good and likeable team.

Same as OG, there's no need to change anything in this team. They just choked in this tournament.

As for Alliance and Liquid, hunter's kinda right though. Alliance need to do something to improve, otherwise they'd be stuck in mediocrity.
