I guess "siege the high ground really effectively" is how TL looks to do this. NP, Veno & UL all siege well.

VP cores are pretty useless against Liquid's heroes in engagements at this point. Liquid doesn't have much catch but they don't need it if VP walks into them

Pretty weird how VP isn't respecting Liquid's strategy. It feels like they're playing way too passive and expecting to win the same way they did against VGJ.T.

TL is also borrowing, with their own flare, from TNC's approach.

Liquid's lineup can win VP's in late game as long as they choke their farm out and be ahead in items. They would also try to take fights that they outnumber VP, with the help of furion's map control.

Liquid's furion playstyle didn't change much from TI7 no matter who is playing him.

i see this kind of shit from eg or newbee where they're content in just giving the map control but this is not how VP plays

i have not seen them play so complacent like this

People sleep on how well Underlord allows you to siege the enemy's base.

VP has an incredibly hard time killing anyone from TL. The Chen is completely useless and Liquid has great tools to scout the SK initiation so VP doesn't get any sort of combo off

Honestly it feels like VP threw away this game. They made no offensive moves and Rodjer dicked around on bottom lane farming his Aghs. He should've bought Pipe instead.

i honestly would've "WOW'd" if VP played like VP

they played like a pub player who just work up and just queued then played like rtz just farmed until they lose the entire map

I think this is simply Liquid has played against VP so much that when they play their cookie-cutter line up they know how to play against it. Other teams just do not have this experience yet.

As a rebuttal, Liquid's draft is very linear and easy to see coming. Why VP didn't ban Underlord in the second phase is a mystery.

Nah VP played against a draft like that no problem. They really just played complacent as shit. Confident they'd outfarm and outscale liquid and just not contest against the pushing lineup

I think they knew what liquid wants to do and just farmed as they should , that mid meed train cost them too much.
