This isn't a throw. This is Alliance playing well and executing their push strat. If Liquid can defend 2/3 fullout pushes from Alliance, they'll be ahead due to their heroes. But even so, everything comes down to execution.


If TC didn't go for an early midas and went for a fighting item, this would be a different game.

Demon that was fucking awful

Really, that was really, really bad. If you're essentially going to suicide you might as well ult the first time. Instead, a wasted ult right as you die, then an immediate bb that accomplishes nothing.

whatever, gg go next goddamn

Liquid with junk item choices. All they needed was bkb on qojqva, and not orchid. Armlet and not Midas on tc. This was an easy game for them, as alliance got out drafted hard.

i actually have to agree that alliance was playing well this game .. their teamwork this game is phenominal .. showing why they are one of the best

TC going midas is just a kick on the nuts.. but Akke men going godmode this game

Bad exectution, and even more than that midas picked up by TC ruined the game. He got for 20 minutes Drums and Snage from that midas, because he was forced to BB. Imagine the difference of having Armlet insted. You cant Ask more than 0:3 before creeps then 0:5 against pushing lineup.

I missed the last few minutes of the match, but the blasts weren't really that bad. Usually they hit a lot of people, especially the one bot lane where they fought in the corner or w/e

Yes. The timings were all wrong. They needed to go after aa ulti, but they kept initiating before it.

Well its a bit awkward to not go orchid on storm because you need to silence the Dazzle on the way into the fight if you hope to burst somebody, and you need your pull in order to actually get the kill.

I feel like if liquid coordinated their fights a biiiiit better they could have won because Blink + Epi, AA Ult, Nyx teamfight goodness and storm/LS should be enough to win fights in those situations.

This is so frustrating to watch. This current Liquid dota 2 squad has no heart, spirit or cohesion. Completely different from Liquid's sc2 squad. The sc2 division seems to be a strong happy unit. Even when the sc2 squad was down, they always fought with heart and you always felt there was a ray of light at the end of the tunnel. With this dota 2 squad...not so much.

in terms of micro ? not so much .. although decision making wise both are definitely better most of the time

although aui is the better visage player though but that's not the point

How's that so? Their target would still be graved or, if it is dazzle, Chen healed + Mek'd and decrep'ed.
