Optic played straight up Dota against a much better team. If they go up against them again they should likely do a 5 man push strat or super team fight or something.

Not surprised by the results, Liquid is easily 1.5 tiers above OpTic

Can you suggest a team in this TI that look as scary and overwhelming as Liquid ?
(I know that LGD and VP are supposed to be equals but they havent look like this yet)

GG. Liquid is much better than Optics. When you can't deal with a second pick Brood, you know that you're just out-classed.

Either Liquid vs. LGD or Liquid vs. VP will be a more even match-up.

From what I've seen so far, no not even close. Liquid are in a league of their own.

The real question: will Liquid lose another game this TI?

VP vs LGD should be one of the series of the tournament.

My thoughts exactly... But things looks like that after a team is stomping like this.
Is like the champion aura.

LGD lost to second pick brood in the only group stage game where liquid actually got brood. The hero is broken and liquid is very good besides; they don't need it to win.

Brood has no lane counters except for a higher skilled TA or kunkka player. Tiny dies to brood at 6 and every encounter thereafter.

VG.J storm did look more dominating. And liquid isnt great all tournament they got completely stomped by fnatic

Next series won't even look dominating for either team because they're more evenly skilled.

This is just what it looks like when a team on another level faces a midtier team

I saw abed or somebody own liquid with tiny against brood. Ccnc probably just didn't have the same lane dominance but tiny can certainly win

After seeing a top brood player get owned I lost the belief that brood has no direct counter

No, it doesn't work like that. Plenty of heroes can stand against Brood, but can't catch and kill her, so she is free to farm all she wants, creep skip, or just jungle and do ancients in all of the scenarios she is outfarming the opponent. Tiny can't die to Brood at 6, neither can LC, or Necro, or Axe, or Bristle, but they can't stop her from farming.
