How though
It isn't Liquid go to pick hasn't been for a long time
In retrospect it seemed obvious
But they just don't pick it + were saving strats for a long time
Just watch when they will be pressured they'll pull some other hero out of the bag that seems "obvious" and this will happen again

Wasn't trying to say optic should have recognized that alch would own them in that draft, I just don't wanna watch any more alch games xd

"na dota, they seem to be slapping down the gauntlet this TI"

what a strange comment.


well, they did get 3/3 teams into the upper bracket, that's enormously more than most people predicted

It had to be that way, but not only Miracle- got free farm, but so did MC, while still being ahead.

Liquid is just kinda better at everything. Forgot that isn't as good as the other teams who gave liquid trouble
Perhaps PPD bounces back, like he did in the EG days.

I think optic need at least 1 support to not be a static sit in lane hero (abba/wisp)

they need something like a wk zai invoker mid running around creating chaos

otherwise they're just gonna get out skilled

It was a radiance into dagger, more bearable than the classic route.

People still believe in the saving strats thing ? Think that was just liquid being great and optic not that great

Also like others pointed out alch/lich armor sounds really tough to crack

Doesnt have the players for it. In the old days he had the proven set of players

And competition and meta is a lot simpler back then.

Umm pretty much everyone sees the obvious strat saving + trying to bait autobans in the groups by the top teams

Miracle has become more open over the pro years. Can see the personal development outside the game.

4p1 stall alch wouldn't work on that game as optic would just meme push them and that would mean liquid would've to dodge fights or creep skip or do something to give alch time to farm

That was a good decision to add alch on the fights

Pretty sure lvl15 IO can take half of that alch's hp. spirit vessel is good too. i don't think that alch was that scary if optic planned their game well
