That was a hard game when mindcontrol got an insane lead. And tbh that g2 happened because liquid decided to give ember the best start which was really the worse hero they could've given

In my opinion, if you pick BMx2 you need to show balls and gank. Against Liquid supports Fear should have rushed Dagon at least. Do RTZ or Suma1l even play Brood? Fear had decent BeastMaster games in a past, why he picked such a high-skill cap hero for himself, and sat in lane scared, didn't even try to swap lanes, etc.

Anyway, EG fucked up hard even in game 1, Liquid are really shaky.

liquid are boring, not disgusting. they play well, but it looks like one of those 20 minute shows where a criminal is shown and defeated every episode.

I'm really confused why you say that liquid is boring. They play boring heroes quite actively.

You called EG fun and i'm a fan of rtz but i can't even watch some of their games cause they just they actually actively avoid fights in most of their games and try to gain a lead steadily.

Even before the kicking of peter EG was originally content in playing lineups that just farm and do nothing until they had an edge but it got worse by the time this roster came in.

Rushed dagon ? Liquid had 4 tanky heroes and orchid does a better job than dagon would since it allowed him to solo any hero including naix and Omniknight. Dagon could never accomplish that and it doesn't help broodmother herself ability to kill heroes after dagon is expended which is gonna get healed by omni anyways.

They looked shaky because of how eg drafts went. And personally how eg plays but other than that they really looked just like usual

Liquid's kind of like an updated and versatile TI4 VG. There's a lot of nuance and skill to make their playstyle work, but ultimately their games just have a go-mode where they pick a lane and run down it, and either kill things and take buildings or just keep slamming into buildings until they're gone.

I don't get this, they're all about being active whenever they can with a more elaborate gameplan than split and farm from EG, 5 men from coL or yolo from CIS/SEA. They're a beautiful team to watch imo even if I prefer the more facerush/outplay approach from teams like VP or former wings (best team ever).

They also have a precise understanding of their timing : when and how to fight despite being even or behind in gold, which is the most fascinating aspect of their game.
