awkward engagement at radiant jungle involving DP, bm, and tidehunter.
dp is half health and doomed,
ravage used to buy space
stolen ravage!
beastmaster's life is claimed, but that is the only casualty as dp has a completed euls and survives long enough to walk away. her progression will lead her from euls to a full octarine this game.

4 concurrent tps at bottom to punish the t2 death at bottom, kaka gets tower and tps out in time!
shortly after at top, prophet is assassinated by 4 at the srecret shop despite a ward positioned at ancients. it's a bloodbath as they send lifestealer back to fountain and claim the t1.

liquid is pressuring mid tower at the same time but it is only kuro and newbee react in time to punish this attempt by tping away from top.

juggernaut now shifts his focus to radiant jungle that has an aggressive ward in place. he however, does not have omni up yet.
liquid smokes 5, but it gets sniffed and is inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. juggernaut meanwhile has been farming the waves bottom until they reach past t2 area and tps back to his own jungle to continue farming, now leading the networth, 23minutes in.

the epicenter crowd starts chanting, ir ecall the casters losing their shit from all the way from the english casting desk for puck claiming an early boar kill at the start of the game.

well the offlane lifestealer was fucking useless. kuro needs to draft shit like that in important games.

i don't even know who has a crimsonguard on liquid but the red rings do not persist through the entirety of the fight that breaks out bottom and again, newbee comes out on top and claims roshan. time efficiency. newbee in this game should be ahead by about 10k in networth with chuan being the poorest on lion. he should be happy with his blink and levels however.

newbee moves middle and it break out quite messily. not all ults were expended but at the end of it, liquid is able to claim DP's life at the cost of one.

all heroes are now up on the side of newbee and they lead in hao on juggernaut and with the recent pickoff of LD nothing can push him back. DP now uses her ulti as t3 falls.
newbee heroes dive as they did in their 2nd spectre game against OG, obviously feeling it at this point.

let's look back at the lineup of liquid.
it's doom, puck, rubick, lifestealer, and lone druid.
it seems as though their only damage comes from the bear surviving puck is able to hit all his spells with lifestealer or similar are tanking important teamfight spells coming from newbee's side.

newbee at 30:30 immediately smoke to their creepwave at mid. they understand that one kill will immediately result into a rax. meanwhile teamliquid has grouped as 5 top, only lifestealer is left there as they lose an entire set of rax without the bear to be able to contest.

the game looks close to an end as LD loses his life, dead in he grave for a full minute, as well as lifestealer shortly afterwards.

liquid gg's out as there's too much fighting ability from newbee's heroes.
it seems as though newbee's cores this game, as they had played alchemist in the previous one, were able to farm very well on mu as well as hao and their supports rotated near-perfectly to ensure their holes were filled.

i hope liquid adjusts their overall gameplan to account for newbee's defensive set-play
