yeah but now they gave a game for free and it's not even close to reliable that liquid can beat non-wisp LGD especially after that brutalizing

Ok Liquid, it is really easy: you either pick IO or ban it vs. LGD. Why in the world would you give Fy IO and Ame Gyro at the same game.

LGD gave Liquid Enchantress, so I would say it's pretty even trade.

i don't think necro works against wisp gyro

he can't frontline against call down rocket barrage

it's like the eg v secret game

add lesh and he's extra fucked

the shroud ability = suicide

yea

ench looked good early but has similar problems; feels pretty bad when you can get bursted down by 3 bursty cores whenever you dont have bkb up

I know that lgd won the match but hot damn enchantress is a strong hero that was from a relatively even start.

There had been so many situations where ench went 3v1 but died too long and sometimes can take another life

Untouchable with heal is abit too strong. I feel other than silveredge untouchable should be removable

ench is the kinda hero that punishes sloppy miscalculations or not committing enough to an engagement

fail to kill her and she just kills everybody involved sometimes

happens a lot in earlier skirmishes but if her team gets behind it's less prone to happen

IO + Wisp was much more impactful than enchantress. Enchantress performed well for TL though, so good pick just no combo for it.

That is Liquid's first loss against Tiny in TI8 I'm pretty sure.

Maybe the strategy is giving Chinese teams a false sense of security, and then beat them on their over confidence.

For whatever reason, Liquid first-banned Kunkka against LGD. Maybe some kind of strategy in scrims? If that Kunkka is a Wisp instead, who knows how different that draft/game plays out.

It's especially odd because LGD got 2nd and 3rd pick, which means it's extremely likely they will get a good Io partner in the first phase pick.

The other bans make sense though I guess.

Kunkka ban kind of forces out a brood ban.

I guess my assumption was that they were gonna ban Brood regardless, since they beat LGD with it in groups

TL probably assumed they would not ban it and had a kunkka plan against it. So doing that ban removes brood for them but also allows them a lot of options for first pick. Like here they could go IO or Enchantress due to that.
