really? i feel like thats the only thing they did somewhat right this game.

gg EG!

the supports just had really shoddy decisionmaking, like the first gank on bottom trying to go on bottom to killing undying, even though they got double decayed and then sat in tombstone zombies for 5 seconds. that stuff is like fire early on

They lost the 3v2 fight at bot.... against a lvl 1 tombstone.....


Sure, but thats more or less their players failing hard. Not to mention how strong tombstone is early game. But when they kept changing lanes, it did look good for TL.. before they fought like monkeys.

Liquid had a nice advantage in the Laning phase..but that fight at bottom completely trashed their Lane..
3v2 and jumping on Undying results in liquid losing 2 to Gyrocopter...

SF pick was fine. Korok just missed way too many razes and last hits + he went for unsafe engagements and you cant do that as an SF.

It would be fine, if his supports didn't act like amateurs, engaging into tombstone and rocket barrage, and then leaving him unprotected to get murdered. He never recovered after this.

Well, gg.

Liquid's inconsistency is just sickening. Losing to EG is no shame imo, but they are just playing awful right now compared to the last months.

Rebuild TL Dota.

Yes, Bamboe, of all players, played pretty decently for EG, of all teams.

He did play decently (other than the 2nd game as Prophet) though. Especially first game.

It's like a double negative. Bamboe + EG = No throws.

Tbh,
Both teams are very very bad, but EG's draft is what saves them sometimes, while Liquid is too stagnant and predictable and have nothing up their sleeves.

I cant think of two heroes I would rather have doing a 2v3 at the very early levels than undying and gyro, and we saw the results.

Both teams are very very bad and still are considered top 10/15 in the West and top 5 in the US? I see the points you're making, but don't exaggerate.

predictability is one thing, failure to execute is another...

Well, even looking at the chinese scene your 15th team wouldn't exactly be a strong team. And are there even more than 5 pro teams on the US? TL, EG, Dignitas, Fnatic.NA and Root is already pushing it, since those last 2 teams aren't near the top level of play. There are just not enough Dota teams for those classifications to mean anything.

Well, even looking at the chinese scene your 15th team wouldn't exactly be a strong team. And are there even 5 pro teams on the US? You would probally have to add something like Fnatic.NA and Root. There are just not enough Dota teams for those classifications to mean anything.


I don't know the exact number, but isn't 250,000 Dota2 players in the United States a minimum? So making it to a proplayer (maybe 15 in the US?) level makes them very, very good.

I dislike the negative tendencies a lot of the eSports followers, or on a broader scale, internet peeps have.

you guys forgot that this is the second bo3 that eg > tl this week. No doubt to will have another mental restart as they are a very snowball team in a long run.

mean while I doubt eg could pull off these wins with bdiz. the power to rotate the farm priority to bamboe worked out wonderfully. Jeyo naix game 3 feel really awkward though, not sure if he gone rotate long now if demon take mid.

p/s: dry caps, I typed on phone

They are very, very good if compared to the average joe. We are not doing that. Take everyone that plays football in the world and you get an absurd number. That doesn't mean any player in a second division team is suddenly very, very good. You compare players that are trying to achieve the same level of play and competing in similar tournaments. What's the point of saying every pro team is very good? They should be, they are a pro team.

It's not a tendency ESPORTS followers have. Anyone that follows any sport compares pro players to pro players. Not pro players to your mother in law.
