That was a great display by IG, even the 2nd game they had a good plan and Liquid just got in before the timing with the GH KotL save sustaining the push. | ||

Invoker 4th pick would have saved miracle's game and I highly doubt that IG would ban LD anyways this. no idea what kuroky was thinking to emphasise on the LD over invoker when miracle- invoker did so much for them everytime. Drafting an ember into an earth spirit?? FV Invoker was always liquid's go to combo but for some reason they wanted an LD that even went for bear build instead of ranged build. so many weird individual choices, i don't really blame mc that much. he had to play the game of his life if liquid wanted to win, with edge based chronos allowing matumba's bear to hit the enemy heroes. props to ig though, ig was playing crazy well and i'm pretty sure the lina pick was a blockpick against liquid's aa fv combo. they needed burst to destroy people in teamfights but ember against instant silence + earthshaker was just not the way to go | ||

They could have still played invoker safelane if they wanted it that way. Also the synergy with chrono is bastly superior. Ember just seemed like a terrible pick against that amount of lockdowns (many of them instants) and the synergy with chrono is non existant. I really fail to understand how would you rate an LD over invoker there. | ||

A fight then going the other direction (or breaking even) probably could have entirely changed the game by giving Liquid the chance/time to get up the core items they needed to control fights. FV making it to a Blink Dagger would have made a huge difference. | ||

Invoker 4th pick would have saved miracle's game and I highly doubt that IG would ban LD anyways You'd definitely prefer to have an invoker that game, but they did still have a void vs 4 squishy heroes and no save. I didn't get to watch most of the game, but I expected this game to be pretty hard if void was on point. Reading the lr thread, it appears he wasn't. | ||

It's very easy to gank Invoker with iG's support duo. The Ember not controlling his lane or working with Chrono was the bigger issue. | ||

I got to watch the first 30 seconds or so of the laning stage and when I came back, Xxs was more farmed than he had any right to be. | ||
