Yeah liquids damage was an easily kited ursa and PL who doesn't really as much damage maxed as other lategame carries. So underlord gets so much damage eventually with VG | ||

DK is fucking tanky too, how do you kill any of these cores in the lategame? And when it goes bad, they always can use Naga or underlord to get out. Very simple draft, but very effective. There has to be a draft that can overcome it. Vici's strategy is simply working this well because of the meta. | ||

They probably haven't played against an Alch in a while, and they might have just gotten lost in how to respond. It is a high pressure situation and VG had to play really well to not collapse. Main thing was they were trying to brute force into high ground when they should have had all of the lanes pushed in when doing it. Someone has to go to a side lane to clear it, can either pop them or keep taking chip damage. | ||

I'd wager if liquid had other damage cores like TB or juggernaut or invoker or something rather than PL + ursa then the lategame situation vs triple tanky core would probably not be a big issue. I think that was just liquid had no great answer to the tanky cores and are playing on timer cause their damage is getting less and less effective | ||

You can't do "cheap damage to buildings" and expect not to die with VG having plenty of catch lol. The time they pushed alch was pretty fat and you didn't realize that VG had a good lineup that deals well with super creeps. They certainly had the timing but they couldn't and that isn't a throw cause if you call that a throw then everygame that involves breaking highground is a throw rofl Liquid was pushing alot on the sidelines. Pugna got caught even doing that and chen already got to the point of being useless since his creeps gets destroyed in a few seconds. And what you are thinking being plausible involves lycan or prophet who can easily move around and deal shit ton of damage to buildings in a short amount of time. PL/ursa/pugna doesn't do that | ||

Liquid went 2-3 against it, in their 6 games against VG. The Naga isn't super powerful on its own right now, but it opens up so much. At the same time, Liquid had massive leads going up into VG's high ground in both games 1 & 3 and lost. That part is on Liquid. | ||
