It will be a good series if VG puts up a good fight(i assume liquid will take the series)

Liquid might be in trouble. They have to win this before VG gets more disables items like hex, orchid, nullifier.

Hah Liquid with the Rapier Terrorblade. "I'm done with this split push, let's get their Throne."

No hard stuns lineup against TB is always bad. He can sunder whenever he wants with bkb.

Doesn't change the fact TB is a fucking overpowered hero..

Fnatic hasn't yet shown to be a major threat for the top placings. I don't think they've become worse with Uni or anything, it's just that there is quite a gap from where they were to beating TL or Secret in a bo3. In the NaVi game they had a few blunders but importantly they were constantly keeping the lanes out and never got caught out in a terrible position where NaVi could take rosh or threaten buildings.

With Kinguin beating Newbee, one of Fnatic and Kinguin is guaranteed to make it to the playoffs and get top6. Still need to beat one of the top teams to get to the points though

That is the point though, i can't really give them credit for constantly pushing the waves if they play with Viper, Rhasta and most importantly Tinker, how is that an accomplishment?

Unless you plan on discrediting Liquid or others who also played alot of splitpush, a win is a win. Should we start discrediting every lycan/AM/sylabear game that liquid or secret?

You play on the strengths of your drafts unless you are one of those who only believe that fighting is the only way to play dota and ignore things like mapreading/taking advantage of hero strenngths LOL

I do think Fnatic is playing suboptimal to what is required to excel though.

My first point was that Fnatic was not impressive, nothing else. Main reason for that is that EE is just bad and should not be on a team that wants to be t1 or even t2.
At no point did I say anything against split pushing in general.

No matter how you dislike EE, he is part of the reason why Fnatic is actually relevant. If you followed him through the years, all his teams had a certain flavor on how to play around the map. It is very obvious he is the one imparting all the macro knowledge to his teammates.

Yes he would be able to do that as a coach just as well though. His play is just not good enough anymore. Everything I'm reading is about how good he was 2+ years back. At some point your past accomplishments mean nothing if you are just a shadow of your former self in game. Why do you think did he move to Sea? Might be because he couldnt find any decent team NA or EU anymore and believed he would have an easier time getting through qualifiers?


I think EE said in an interview or something that he was originally thinking about joining DC (the one that ended up having Moon, Bulba, MSS, Abed and Mason, not sure what would have been the lineup if EE had been there). But it's not easy to form a team in NA that has significant potential. It's not like coL or Optic are crushing it on LAN either.

Obviously Abed and Uni weren't in the team originally, but after Abed joined I think Fnatic's roster is playerwise better than anything EE could have put together in NA. The quals are not any easier though

BO1 wasn't for elimination though, so everyone gets a fair shake, they just have to win more games to get there.
