Dude he got away with silver of HP several times with amazing jukes (outplay) from a timber that cannot be killed unless its 1v5, it was not the Alch that won them this game you should rewatch it

Remember when people were questioning LGD's invite?

4th place is great, and the las game was great too.
I think their strategy is to dumpster bad Western teams (c) uriel

Yes, and it was absolutely correct to do so.

The invites are given based on past performance, not based on predicting what might happen in the future. Inviting LGD over Newbee was one of the rare blunders by Valve, and them doing well does nothing to disprove that.

Feels like the 3 best teams in top 3 at least, that pretty good. Any of those three could win in on a good day.

liquid played so well... tide ulti and slark focusing down LGD's supports so timber can't control fights and dish out damage.

the only time liquid's support fucked up they lose the fight bad... that's how on point liquid's supports are.

LGD probably wouldn't have made it through the Qualifiers, actually. Especially at the time. They've looked better in the last month, though.

Granted, Valve got put in a weird spot when VG.R & Wings won tournaments. Wings, especially, as that was a rather big fluke. Valve ended up with 10 invites, realistically, but rather than deal with some awkward "this region gets 1 invite and this gets 2" situation, they moved to 12 invites. That got Na'Vi & LGD a spot.

Newbee, at the time, didn't deserve the spot. We knew they'd be good, but all they had was 3 weeks of great Online play. Valve staked out a "What have you done on LAN?" position, so Newbee wasn't really in line for an invite.

you are dense as usual, bud.

"Almost everything pros play out nowadays is not properly balanced" should be the right way to read it. Before the armlet buff Alchemist needed that Aghs feature to be viable. Now with the absurd regen he has, something should be done about that asap. At least, only ult upgrade should be kept, not raw item bonuses. And preferrably shit should cost a little higher. We always used to discuss that kind of things in LR threads, but oh boy Liquid fanboys sure know it better.

And you are angry as fuck, also as usual. One of the most aggressive persons in this forum. but i know you dont give a fuck, sitting on your high horse. I just see a salty lgd fan here, trying to convince us he is not.

1 more day and my voice can have some rest.

Liquid's lower bracket run has me cheering like crazy. I hope they make it to the finals against OG so that I don't mind which team wins

TB with 14% hero damage.
Aggressif is kinda underwhelming as this kind of farming carry.
I believe Maybe misses Sylar right now.

They didn't deserve to be invited for past achievements, only thing of note was 3rd at starladder. Newbee deserved the invite and LGD should of been in qualifier.

Alchemist was 7-7 before Liquid vs LGD game 2, I believe. The hero is balanced in a way it requires a proper free Aghs thirsty and AA absent draft to get fully unleashed, while half of teams don't even play that hero that much (A, CoL, Empire, NaVi, Secret, Fnatic, etc).

TL is 3-0, VG is 2-1, NB is 1-1, LGD, DC and OG are 0-1 with him; Wings are 0-2, Mineski are 1-0. For evey team that used him at least twice, excluding Wings, the WR is positive, how can it be considered bad is beyond me. I wonder how many mid picks are more succesful that this bar Invoker/DK?

what is LS win rate this major (if you want to rant about a hero that is abit OP)?

I never said LS was OP to begin with, just boring to watch.

@thebearjew. Well, Valve could've invited both Newbee and LGD over tier 2 Western teams that didn't even made it top8. Secret and Complexity for starters done absolutely nothing with their unearned freepasses.
