sigh. i dont think anyone really believes LGD is a worse team than liquid, but liquid really pulled out their A game and lgd played poorly for their standards
Personally I'm just really depressed that all Chinese teams perform so badly. iG is busy fucking each other up, LGD plays the worst since at least a year and DK... well it's DK who I still don't trust to get past Alliance or Na'Vi. TongFu is still a black horse but they aren't top tier material yet unless magic happens.
Like, beat the crap out of top teams all you want but the least I want to see is them being beaten in top form. Seeing all these great teams lose when they fuck up left right and center just isn't what I expect from the best Dota tournament of the year.
At this point I'm hoping to see Alliance vs Na'Vi in the finals, at least I can still trust them to weed out the teams. ;;

Such a friggin Heart-racing game.
Well played TL! WAY TO GO!

Horrible play and drafting by LGD. 4 protect 1 with Alch and Magnus is not ideal in the current meta.

Man, f*ck. yao (magnus) must be feeling it right now... he didn't even get to do a thing and the game just slipped through their hands.

Wow, emotional DOTA. This is a seriously tough tournament, great milestone for the Liquid team!

That game was enough to make me a dota fan

So does Liquid get to play Bo3 in the next round or is it still Bo1? Bo1 against winner of Zenith/IG Dammit, Liquid has to win again then, I need more Liquid games! They are guaranteed Top 8 which means they're in the money already now. TBH the current Loser's Bracket is all teams I think Liquid can beat. If they play like this I can see them getting to the Loser's Semi at least. Then it depends which teams drop down, because none of the Upper Bracket teams are easy.
One of TL's biggest issues is mantaining top form though. I still wouldn't say they are favorites to LB's semi, but anything can happen.

Is that really TL played really really good? I know they did, but I'm sure some will just think LGD played really bad.

watching xy interview while watching xy in the booth. :O

I can't wait for the GIF of bulba throwing off his headset and running out of the booth before the thrown is even killed :D

LGD has been playing so well for so long and now ... this ... ?
anyone that insists that lgd didn't play badly and that tl just is better ... no. Bulba is amazing and so is korok, but that was LGD playing way beyond what they've showed for months. sorry, but a mediocre na team like liquid doesn't compare.

I think DK and tongfu are still playing some great dota. The fall of LGD and IG, and the rise of the west, are some great storylines so far though

Biggest thing to watch out for?
They're Chinese.
