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.


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.

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


the problem with brood isn't the hero, it's that mid is extremely safe right now, as long as no player is going crazy diving or anything. If you do get to punish a brood, she's utterly useless for a long time, until she finds minutes to farm up uncontested.

In the Abed Tiny vs Matu Brood game Matu just screwed up and died to Abed solo at lvl 3 or 4 if I recall correctly. That played a big role in the Brood being more behind in that matchup than he needed to be. Probably it should go more in the manner we saw here where the Brood can trade farm just fine

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)


LGD was able to draw Liquid in the group stage. I think this series was more indicitive of OpTic’s strength. They made the upperbracket but every team in the lower bracket in group B were had either 7 or 8 wins. Serenity was a TNC Megacreep comeback from joining the tiebreakers.

OpTic vs Fnatic/Serenity will be interesting.

Time for the title match! I always want VP to do well, but idk they are not that clutch. Have a good feeling that LGD is gonna take it home here.

I hope this is a good series. I'd be happy for either team winning it all

Slightly favor LGD heart, but head says VP here. My guess is that this first game we'll see a very niche strat
