At 12-0 rotk said Newbee still had a shot because liquid's lineup couldn't actually win the game

At something like 17-4 burning said it was over and that liquid was just waiting to gg

Liquid got impatient. Just use Manta Ember and X to get chip damage on the high ground. Instead Kuro jumped the T3s, landed a two person boat, but they weren't able to follow up on it.

I mean when your best tower hitter is a potm you are setting yourself up for a rough push.

People surprised that a team who amassed tons of advantage lost after giving away 3-4 kills. Welcome to the post rubberband patch DotA ( and yes even after it was nerfed).

Yeah we never withnessed such naga games before the comeback mechanics. Never.

If you think this is just about rubberband and not

1-Newbee playing their draft 100%
2-Liquid failing to group up and push
3-Not choking the only hero that they needed (naga)
4-Not having a real base breaking strategy/hero
5-Bad item choices

Then I have news for you.

Fantastic from a tactical sense, but I feel like it's not fun to watch.

It's ok once in a while, more and it quickly becomes unbearable.

I mean 17-4 is when Liquid lost control of this game entirely with Ember's death, didn't they?

He needed to build right-click.

You forget Wings.

These are the sort of guys who may just wreck EG in the final with first pick bloodseeker sending PPD into BSOD.

i don't believe in wings after their groups and EG has improved to the point where they're just beyond what they showed in starladder with picking stupid shit and drafts.

i mean personally, i'd like it if eg didn't win but this isn't the same eg that crumbled against FRIENDS.

And when that best tower hitter goes ahead and gets no right click damage.

I never said that we never saw such games, but nowdays you get a lot more money then you did before. Then the psychological aspect kicks in after you know you gave a lot of money and then from there on its a snowball.
