So for him it sounds like it's better to do it now if it's only 6 months long... I mean Zai was like an entire year out of the scene. Good to know. | ||

The meta will most likely change after TI and both Alliance and Liquid will have new chances. I hope that both teams will stay together and try again. The showing from Liquid was really disappointing though. I hope they have the power to go through this as a team. This kind of loss must be pretty tough to overcome cause you can easily call out the loss on the itemchoiches from Mindcontrol and Matumbaman. | ||

But of course it's impossible to say what really is going on inside the team. A team can bottle up some issues and try to keep it together until TI, and if there are some issues between players it will probably come out now. But anyway from an outside perspective I don't think there is an obvious switch the team should make. | ||

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. so is my post in the alliance thread becoming a copypaste for sour alliance fans now?  | ||

Whereas Liquid was super up and down. Not only during the whole tournament or a BO-X, but also in a single game. Totaly dominating a team for 20 min and playing like a contender and than they suddenly playing like a T 5 team. So liquid could have placed last, but also had potentail to be Top 3. This was the difference between Alliance and Liquid in this TI, at least for me. | ||

Team's always had late game issues and decision making, which isn't uncommon in a lot of teams. Only question is if the current roster can sort through those or not. | ||

Alliance did beat EG in an incredible 75 minute comeback game tho, that was a lot better than mediocre IMO | ||

The difference was in expectations sure , but Alliance had Fnatic on the ropes in G2 and threw it , not a liquid kind of throw which is something you dont see every day , but as far as potential i dont think Liquid has greater potential then Alliance when it comes to peaking , if i had to put money on who has the better chance at winning TI7 i would put it on the current Alliance roster as i feel they have better talent overall , they are currently lost thats for sure. Liquid came in the best form with good understanding of the meta and they crushed out in the group stage and then in the Bo3 which speaks about their mental side , in TI3 Alliance came in great form and meta understanding and they delievered , in this TI they didnt came with those attributes on their sides and they didnt outperformed. | ||

Also s4 is underrated. Being captain and mid just doesn't work out that great. Its better if a midlaner can focus 100% on his lane/game. | ||
