nvm it's over, few mistakes vp made ended up costing them the game. and lol rodjer chen

People that think Rodjer's Chen was bad don't really understand how impactful he was in this game. All the fights that VP took were possible because 2 lanes that they have lost were actually pushed with 2 Dragons most of the time.

Yeah, he got caught bunch of times, but Liquid had the map control and Rodjer had to be out of the base to farm Aghs or take Creeps, if you are sitting idle in base just to not get caught, then you lost the game already. He also gave important info because it is much better for him to get caught than any of their 3 cores.

Well , the VP draft was not bad but liquid just hit their now standard 5 man 18 min mid rax push , lets see if VP just bans furion next or not.

I don't think it matters if liquid gets NP but rather whether VP will play a slow game like last game and not respond to liquid giving all the advantages again


I think its impossible to fight liquid 5 man lineup early with what VP had , they had a disruptor which is not what you want in a passive lineup , so once Liquid committed to the Furion #1 and not #5 (which they run as well) they went with the lets outfarm and outfight them which was a good idea if they didnt feed mid with nonoe after losing the LS which cost them mid rax and bot.
you could see the idea of prolonging the game that even with 2 rax down they were still winning the team fights , liquid are amazing at capitalizing on mistakes and putting a TON of pressure when they run those push strats and to be honest this looks like their only winning formula lately (of course not the only one , but by far their most successful)so i don`t think they want to deviate from it unless they have too.

Lets see if VP let them try the 5 man again with UL and the likes or they want to play a more normal game of Dota.

since VP lost game 1, here's hoping to them losing game 2 quickly so we can get on to the clearly superior matchup in optic vs mineski

I'm also excited to see PPD kick some ass again. The TI7 panelists may have been garbage at entertaining folks but they seem to be pretty okay at this DOTA game.

VP playing a single core slow scaling lineup vs a snowbally sieging lineup by liquid

liquid takes this series .. probably good news cause mineski vs optic seems more exciting

the naga idea is intersting as early push means no BKB so they can reset the fight and focus whoever they want , lets see if it works out or not.

they have a solo damage which is the TB if they can position him properly per fight(or he doesn't get focused) maybe the sleep will help but VP never seem to be a naga team

i still feel like liquid will win this .. it's not the standard dual-core that VP normally does

This is looking pretty good for liquid. They even have the better lineup (assuming VP doesn't hold too long and TB becomes ridiculous)
