I think if they even just walked back to the hill and took the high ground outside Alliance's base they could've chosen to fight and win that fight or just farm jungle.

I sure hope MC builds some damage. Liquid is at risk of the old "We have necrophos but can't get their core to 50% HP" problem in 20 minutes

If there's a 5v5 fight (no aegis) and Liquid play it smart I think they can easily hex + Invoker + Reaper Loda and win the game on the spot. So in that sense they're okay.

They have a necro against a 4p1. Voker+prophet are also very respectable cores. Their lategame is fine.

If they get an aghs reaper pickoff on naga at any point they pretty much just win.

With what? Shadow Shaman walking initiation?

Liquid can't fight at all. They've spent the last 10 minutes getting picked off. Rhasta needed a blink.

agreed completely. especially when we can see how little the ult does when they trade the naga ult for it.
pushing will be very difficult without a pickoff, which a blink enables.

The question was about lategame. Eventually rhasta will have a blink and voker will have some damage.

actually disagree with rhasta blink here. alliance have too many ways to counterinitiate and it doesn't synergize well with oracle (your cores blink in, get lasso'd and forced and oracle isn't in range to ult them out of it).

aghs not a great choice here due to song killing it instantly of course. would probably go aether lens

I agree except MC is sometimes super insane and might just keep making dumb items like octarine instead of something that contributes to control/damage. I don't think invoker/necro is enough unless they 100% get a free pick on him with kuro walking in range to CC him (cause he's also crazy and didnt get a blink)
