that's actually true. I don't think anyone thought they'd push Newbee this hard.
And if nothing else, other teams that shall not be named are about equally shaky atm

its okay we eg fans have excuses for days

Alliance came so fucking close. At least were the king of the dumpster.
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

Alliance should be proud. But 3 x rosh without wards is not excusable. Phoenix shouldn't be inside as well.

I would say he finally played an Ember which made me REALLY happy .
Good showing from Alliance , they really were in it to win and couldve done that , they were not food like other teams in this tourny.

true that, his ember was quite good. he can play those heroes it seems

After OG who actually beat them Alliance has been the only team to actually push Newbee so far.

Really Surprising that Alliance is actually doing it, who would've thought? They showed some great strategy even vs OG Game2, but then fucked it up royally with sloppy execution

Quoting myself here
It came again

Even worse this time , Game one they fought an Alch to a point that a normal fight they had unkillable Slark and a Ember 6 slotted , 3rd game , 6-0 opening or something into no farm on DP and 3 awful Rosh fights due to no vision,.

He can farm. He just refuses to sometimes for some reason

See I don't watch Love Live but Elem once said in irc (something along the lines of):

"If you have two different girls you like and one of them is niko, pick not-niko. You'd just be one more of the thousand of niko fans out there whereas the not-niko is at least somewhat unique"

It's probably the same here. You pick the non-Liquid team exactly because we're on TL!

It's weird how few Liquid diehard fans there are given that we're on LD.

I mean it's kinda boring being a die hard fan of a team that's #1 world - only time when fans will spring to life is at TI6 grand finals, rest of the games is just squishing lesser teams, waiting for the inevitability of the big moment in the future.

Granted they sometimes give us some drama with some fun ingame, just to take it back lategame, or throw a bone to a one hit wonder team in lesser tournaments finals to let them have their 5 minutes of fame, but at this point we've all figured out it's just a marketing ploy...


We've complained to Nazghul that Liquid used to be too weak, and he overcompensated so much that there's no more suspense and it seems from the outside like there was more hardcore fans in the spazzy mediocre days of Liquid where any win was a cause for celebration.

nah, a close 2-1 series from one of the weakest western teams vs newbee is solid proof china's going to shit

I mean they have victories against higher tier from this same tournament, arguing that newbee is playing bad right now is kind of absurd considering their performance in the tournament thus far.

i wasn't arguing they were playing bad, quite the opposite.
