At times, it almost seemed like Liquid could make that draft work, but in the end, not quite

Liquid really lacked the disables to make a CK line-up work against a Storm.

We've had some really hype matches in this top 8.

And the finals is probably going to be a sub-1 hour 3-0.
Average means I'm better than half of you.

Cr1t miss played, he euls'd himself during the respawn of rtc and didn't get to cast his fear ult which is what they did during the final fight they won. Blackhole into fear and lich ult which is the damage and wombo combo. They had it 5man and 2x lich ult but no fear!

If EG can win one of the next two games, they will have made the Top 3 or better in half of the TIs that there have ever been.

Look Dota, I've had a rough week. Is it too much to ask that the teams I like win? And that the team I want to win the whole thing doesn't throw game 3 of the UB finals like a random pubstack?

I'm getting a little tired of folks calling sloppy Dota in games like this. Both teams are playing on the proverbial edge, trying to get everything out of the game and map that they possibly can. They're taking calculated risks. Maybe they wouldn't take them if they weren't in TI, but then if Liquid had just holed up in their base or moved around as 5 constantly EG would have split push them to death. OTOH if RTZ hadn't tried to get as much farm as possible he never would have been a threat to the CK.

Hey pal, I've had a rough week too and an EG victory tonight would make everything much better.

Cheers.

People thought this was a sloppy game?

there have been a rather large number of roster changes since EG's previous top 3 finishes, however

Some of the moves they make are sloppy, but can't expect them not to be sloppy in a game like this. Bulldog has already said it, late TI is not where you'll see the best dota a team can put out.

What weirds me out is how bloodthirsty some of them are. That rosh fight where EG wasted all of their buybacks was whack

Yeah it looks like they make pub level mistake but they are playing 4d chess in the game and it looks like that to us plebs.

Come on EG! ONE MORE GAME
