How many perfect brackets were just ruined? hue

Let's be honest though almost none of us expected Liquid to lose this right? IG had the form today, liquid didn't.
Wasn't just on MC this game for sure

I expected IG to win. They just looked more on point in the group stages in the games they won, while TL seemed shaky to me and easily tilted. Records aren't everything.

Plays a lot of heroes and only 1 of them well. There's so many mids I'd take way before him.

Miracle is exploitable late-game. TL won at Epicenter by simply pushing everything earlier. They've had the same issues here at TI7: if you can trade well in the lanes, you can win late. TL played really well in groups, but Bracket is its own beast. And they didn't play as well today.

Purge's screen is pretty badly lit on camera, they should up the brightness or tilt it better

Drafting LD over invoker was terrible and what lost them the game imo. Invoker 4th pick would have saved miracle's game and I highly doubt that IG would ban LD anyways

Miracle is one of those players that is super gifted and he gets prone to trying to outplay the enemy. Too bad this time the enemy is a disciplined squad of players just waiting to pounce. He just got shutdown way too hard to do his lil song and dance and he just flounders.

Ember should have just been a viper or something boring like that, would have made for an easier game for Liquid I feel.

Drow with ranged Druid build or Clinkz could've been nice.

I have no idea why anyone would think Liquid were heavily favoured.

Because we entirely ignored the mental factor.

announcers told me that liquid had a better draft though. and better lanes. and better team fights early on. how did it end up being a one sided smack down in game 3?

Wouldn't IG have just picked up TA? I think they would have lost trying to run Invoker vs TA.
