Hey there.
I am so happy. I am so proud of kky, Matu, MC, Miracle and GH. THis was amazing. Onesided but amazing nonetheless!
I actually cried a bit when I saw that Kuro cried. So emotional, so deserved!
Even Matus voice was flattering at some points and he had to sit down on stage.
I feel at peace right now supporting them so long, especially kuro, and seeing that now is such a relief.
Good game. Well played!
Team Liquid and Kuroky #1! I will never stop supporting you
EXTERMINATE!

Idk.

I think the same but this TI was really underwhelming in a lot of aspects.

Production and hosting was by far the worst of the TIs excluding the first.

This.

It should have really been Liquid vs VP in the grandfinals. That was easily the closest series Liquid had and I'm not sure what would have happened had the Bloodseeker picked up the rapier in the VP base before tp'ing into Liquids base... Kind of weird to think about how that could have been the end of Liquid now


Eh, I think Liquid were playing a lot worse against VP compared to how they played their last 3 series. Not a fair comparison assuming that the games would have looked anything like that if they occurred later in the tournament .

LFY made VP look like 5k mmr players.

I do not understand why Valve cannot produce a nice aftershow or even have some other talk going. This ending was super awkward. And esports needs to get rid of the Champagne stuff

Depends on who is drafting for EG following TI7, if they keep Cr1t or give in to the reddit pitchfork hunt

I wonder how liquid feel about it being a 3 - 0. Winning TI obviously feels insane. But like others have said, the VP / LFY series seemed more intense.

He was on the panel today with sumail so I'm guessing he'll stay.

I just hope he improves.

I think that the single bracket formula adopted in the Majors is way more interesting

First time watching (and following) a DOTA2 event here. It was amazing for me. The first moment I heard DAy[9] mention the possibility of a TL dark horse story through the lower bracket (didn't even know what was that at that moment) I thought "sure. why not?". Then I saw the bracket, thought "well, that's gonna be though" but still had my hopes up! Very nicely done and well deserved by these players I think.
Congratulations to the champions and will be looking for more from them
Enjoy the game

hard to say if that's on Liquid or on VP making them play worse. Liquid made LGD look horrible as well and they did fine against every other team as well. Some teams just don't do good vs certain teams I guess?

An ending more akin to the world cup football matches with maybe 15 to 30 mins analysis wins be nice.
This feels very abrupt again.

Yeah, I think so as well, VP's early game aggression is kinda comparable to what Newbee did in game2, but VP took the aggression into mid/late, while Newbee went too passive

Why? I really think the few more games we see here really allows to storylines develop better.

My only complaint about the format this time around is the bo1 in the first round of loser bracket. Absurd to me that a 9-7 record in group stages vs a 3-11 record could be neutralized with almost a coin toss.

I don't like the forgiving system, if you fail once, you got another chance... except for the team who does his job and wins the UB.
That said, this year even if Newbee did his job through the UB they weren't absolutely TI-worthy material as a team so i dunno lol.
