i dont think secret should be (in theory) be having much issues overall, i mean, feels competitive in terms of draft

i just think this is a pure outskill

Well all I know is no teams are going to risk Liquid's brood through first ban phase ever again. Hurray for broodless game.

It's not even really the brood

Liquid combos their dark willow/invoker/WW spells pretty much perfectly while secret is missing LSAs on immobile targets

a team like LGD won't do that

Any autoban is a big advantage for Liquid . . .
That's how we won last TI
GH had 2-3 must bans and we won pretty much all drafts after dropping from WB

Seriously
This series makes me realize how supports are massive and the real people that win games along with draft

Cores can only screw up (like midone ace game 1), most are at a high level with not huge skill differential


Yep in this level of games supports and offlaners are the ones to watch.
I think that Secret's supports are way more vulnerable relative to Liquid's ones.
Invoker can focus all 3 by himself with bkb meanwhile Midone and Ace can't even kill Kuro.
I think that Secret late game is stronger, but they are not gonna get there vs the 3 bkbs in Liquid cores when an aegis-cheese push will come.

secret late game is only stronger if all 3 cores + yapzor get farm, but that won't happen

Liquid's supports are so hard to kill and make their cores hard to kill, which is part of the problem secret had last game too

chen has some save but wyvern and willow (and earth spirit) have huge teamfight control too, while chen has... centaur stomp

Matu hates aegis, he finds a way to get rid of it asap and then resumes to his normal play.

Feels like midone has been spending too much time on trees and ganking instead of farming.

Every TI Puppey gets eliminated, plays a super strong early game support, fails to get more advantage than expected, become useless in mid game, blames cores when they lose.

Happened at least for the last 3 TI. Overrated support captain =/

I dont understand how someone could call Liquid gameplay and strategy "boring", the preparation, and execution are Awesome. And their mind strenght is on par with their game prowess. I root for EG, but i am hoping for a Liquid vs LGD rematch.
