Kuroky usually always bans out Nightstalker. Why do you think Liquid didn't ban it? They could have picked Kotl if Nightstalker was banned.

Are we really saying group B was harder? Just a few days ago it was generally agreed group A was pretty tough with almost all tied games.
Getting too old for this..

Did everyone underestimate iG or overestimate Liquid?

Like almost every TI western teams seem to get overrated compared to chinese teams. Happens almost every year it seems like


It's been like that for the past 3, except for EG. Underdog teams seem to have some kinda TI magic as well. Expect an infamous upset.


Western teams keep winning tournaments before TI. So people base predictions on past results. Then China keeps performing much better than the rest of the year leading up to it would predict.

I mean that is part of it also but I think people just do a bad judge of removing bias from their evaluations of the teams. It happens literally every year. You would think people would learn to stop sleeping on the chinese scene has hard as they do

[image loading]

Predictions before the tournament based on previous stats available. They do not reflect what happened in the group stage, China performing better than expected in some cases. Or in the case of C9 underperforming by a lot.

Not saying you are wrong by any means (especially because i lack the knowledge) but tbh this is almost said about every dota2 game ever. At least i see it each year at TI, people commenting it was the draft and how bad it was


This one's actually quite bad though. Huge disconnect between what these Liquid heroes want to do and none of them can actually get anything get done on the map unless they completely stomp the lanes. Definitely also an outplay though, iG played this flawlessly.
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer

iG (and everyone else in group B) got dumpstered pretty badly by LFY and looked shaky vs. everyone else, if they crush Liquid two games in a row like this it's pretty scary

Support visage feels like such a liability. If his team doesn't get ahead early he really doesn't offer much at all

yeah in this game it was outdrafted and outplayed, alchemist free farm and then spliting up wenn IGs Heros came online were also huge mistakes.
