Yup, that was a mistake by him.

14-4 vs a pushing lineup and they still lose , damn liquid meta is CRAZY strong right now , win laning stage roll game , lose laning stage (kill wise as LD still farmed) still win .

this is dealable

VP just didn't draft to deal with it (also timber later pick rocks)

In both games Liquid has managed to draft in a way where it's hard for VP to move out and kill people in small groups. In both games VP basically needs their entire team to get a single kill unless it's a lone AA or something

IceFrog please.

Don't let another TI go down to the siege meta.

I'm gonna make a guess. It's how the camera works right ? It's much harder to initiate from above than below

I'm hoping not. I want either mineski/LGD/TNC to get good results this major so that navi gets kicked out from the free invite cause they are the only one who is really weak from the top 8

I want TI invites to be of those deserving

Read a reddit thread about Radiant vs Dire few weeks ago, like all of the heroes have ~4-5% higher win rate when played on Radiant side, it is worrying.

I'm curious why did most heroes have higher winrate ? I thought dire's jungle area especially the offlane jungle is much better than the radiant. Does radiant initiation angle on rosh make it easier for radiant ?

Or is it much easier to push as radiant than dire ?

even if they're kicked, there's still high chance they'll be in TI due to CIS qualifier
but its better just Navi rather than Navi + random CIS team

Na'Vi has no chance of holding onto that spot without more points.

Na'vi being kicked out is an inevitability and I would love for NA to have more teams in the running for TI invite. I just feel like even if EG gets enough points for an invite, it'll be TI7 all over again. They can accomplish things every now and then but I have no faith in them at TI.

Kind of amusing how the oh so beloved format instantly produced an elimination bo1 between EG and VP. This outcome is hardly different from Swiss despite twice as many games. People will have to get used to the fact that the top ~5-10 teams pretty much all can take games/series off each other and your favorite team can always make an early exit (see secret and newbee).

I mean, it...shouldn't be EG vs VP. Lower brackets are usually A vs D and B vs C (or A vs C and B vs D, whichever).

Did someone mess up with Liquipedia, or is that how they're actually seeding the lower bracket?

EG should face VP. It's only in R2 LB they face an opponent from the other half of the bracket, so they don't meet LGD or Liquid again.
