Midas makes some sense to me. It's a cheap way to push out Lycan's attack speed which makes him a bit more deadly vs TA (and others). Since Liquid is taking towers with push rather than split push at the moment it sort of gives them power now and more later. Especially because these fights have involved a lot of motion since Liquid is light on movement disables. Necro3 doesn't seem like it's going to help a ton given the way and how far Pegasus has been diving.

Well, after three complete stomps, the team that was best today definitely won. We'll see what TL can do in the main event.

Oh well, at least not as one-sided as Germany-Brazil.

Overall, liquid played so crisp, confident in taking early leads and able to hold tight and rally from a bad start, I think they won't be a rollover in the main event, though I'm not yet convinced they can make it as far as last year

I think the best part of Liquids play today was that they were very flexible in terms of drafting and farming positions in a lot of ways. They weren't doing cookie cutter EG copy drafts but seemed to play their own way. Very impressed LIQUID FIGHTING

It's not even close, Liquid are the much better team today amongst the Wild Card group. Glad to see them show up prepared and taking advantage of their lineage (the fact that they have LAN experience despite no recent events).

I'm sorry liquid, I did not believe.

To be honest they are quite fortunate that CIS had visa troubles that disrupted their practice, but liquid has visibly improved since the last time we saw them in a pro match. It looks like they're going to win here and they certainly appear to deserve it. gg wp men.

MVP also played incredibly well against VP...but VP played very badly, no way around that. I think they completely lost faith in illidan as their carry player which led them into some impossible drafts. Unfortunate for them but not unexpected based on their performance in the qualifier. Not to slight them but I think rox.kis would have given a much better show today.
