Liquid are too much ahead at this point.

you mean, kuro is a fucking god of drafting by "picking cancer heroes", right? Because if other teams could do it, they would. No team is going to sandbag themselves for "fun" or "spectator-friendliness".

Like any other team (picking "cancer") ? I dont want liquid to win TI8 , but saying they pick cancer heroes is not the reason they are winning games , 2nd pick brood is a lot of time to plan for it if you are optic , liquid are just an extremely good team.

Liquid's picks are rarely exciting but their proactive style is amazing to watch, I don't understand people calling them boring.

Their understanding of the macro aspects of Dota and their precision timings are so damn good. They play some incredibly technical Dota.

What Liquid hero is a boring hero? Ursa, Bat and Brood all want to kill stuff. Same with their supports. Their lineup wants to choke the map and kill stuff.

Not like they pick stuff like AM or Medusa.

Yeah exactly. Their rotations and movement looks so active and swift even playing heroes they shouldn't be

People kinda assume that a seemingly boring hero would mean boring play

I would not call this "cancer", your opponents cant even fight back against a second pick Brood, they are just not good enough. Liquid recognize a weak opening in the Tiny and punish it to the utmost.

Liquid is not boring they are just very good.

HP and mana items used to affect it as well. Couriers with vanguards were really hard to kill, and at one point you could put a bloodstone and dagon on them lol
