Liquid vs OG should be pure hype.
I'm giving a narrow edge to OG, I think. It's Ceb's home turf, I think that has to be be worth something.

Pretty hype lower bracket matches today, PPD vs China lets gooo :D
Also my bois EG vs Puppan :O

This OG was there yesterday. Just that it was Secret playing against them and not Liquid.

They relied too much on rubick to steal stuns
Meanwhile OG can just jump in and lasso slam whatever, so much easier execution with the lockdown

If OG somehow win this major, Ana is probably in contention for GOAT in my mind. I mean he doesn't play dota for half a year, shows up and helps a good (not great) team win big tournaments.

The meta at this tournament really isn't set. Yesterday was EG vs NiP going for 40+ minutes. Here, it's all team fight all the time. I like this. Still an open field to win.

Don't think he wants to be visible on lane next to a tower. OG could either force a fight more aggressively or just tp back with a hero and set up a kill on him

That OG push was no sense, they had no pressure to push this hard and they achieved almost nothing

This game is Liquid's to lose now.

The pos 5 Batrider is useful until Min 5, then useless until about 45 minutes. Once they get the normal pos 3 items in late game, it adds a layer of utility going late.

Terrible performance by Ana this game. Much deserved loss.

As a note, there's 4 EU teams in the Top 6 at this tournament, so someone is going to the Minor for the last Major of the year.

I predicted OG in the contest so if Liquid wins I'm still happy :D It's funny to see Liquid playing badly and still manage to win. In good form they'd be unstoppable, hope they'll recover.

If Ace rushes Blink with Meepo he can make the Storm's life miserable, Ahjit made horrible decision to rush for Etheral Blade when he played Meepo against Storm and just kept farming while Storm was running around freely destroying everybody. He went for Blink as his 3rd or 4th big item and it was way too late by then.
We will see how it goes.

i feel like if this lgd void was something like sven or something that deals so much damage with little items and that kind of great start
i think they could've fought sooner than waiting for void to get his 2nd-3rd damage item before they can do damage

LGD probably just lost by the decision of not even trying to contest the Meepo. Without supervision that hero like gets 2 items up on your team carry.

Not only that, but Meepo perma-root pretty much counters all 3 cores as they can't tp/dash out of it.

Void probably should go daedalus instead of that ACMKB (it doesn't give enough damage) if he wants to actually wants to deal damage to meepo

Daedalus wouldn't do much better either. MKB procs all the time and is magic damage, Daedalus crit is physical and Meepo has something like 40 armor, 70% physical resistance. Without other damage items Crits wouldn't even be that high so MKB(that is also quite a bit cheaper) it the correct choice I would say.

Huh aghs storm is actually a pretty good answer to meepo why haven't he brought that earlier,
That was such a disappointing performance by LGD. That was totally on them.

MKB deals consistent damage but Daedalus can putout so much damage with chance (a single crit even reduced is still bigger damage than like 2-4 mkb procs). Void has enough attackspeed to proc alot of crits. That item also allows a divine rapier followup where his damage actually goes crazy because of the crit
The more important item tbh was Storm with Aghs. Dunno why maybe didn't pick it up earlier. It screws meepo so much. It is basically a free chrono
|
Spacecow with Nitro is pretty funny to watch. Like he just hits without anybody noticing lol
|
FY also notably had the lack of interrupts on Meepo on the final fights. I mean the dude had a AOE stun and Meepo can't even bkb and he isn't hitting him with it when that hero jumps somebody.
|
With LGD's love of the Storm/Void, setting up the Meepo counter makes good sense. It's going to force a ban from LGD again.
Watch the next game be a Brood.
|
Also, in that last attempt to kill the Dark Seer. he had Greaves & Crimson Guard, along with eating a cheese. Somehow LGD decided to jump the hardest to kill hero on the map.

I mean do the math. Void had Treads, Madness and Mjollnir. if he had Daedalus on top of it he would have what, around 250 damage? If crit is x3(which it isn't but let's make it more simple) it would deal 750 damage, reduced by like 60-70% because of the armor and there is crimson guard as well there, your 750 crit deals like 200 damage top. It wouldn't really make a difference.

Yeah but that was the plan last game as well, and he dominated his lane a lot harder than in this one. It didn't really work out. But Morph is a lot more scary in this game than Void was in the previous so we will see.

But Morph is a lot more scary in this game than Void was in the previous so we will see.
NiP has a lot of control for the Morph, so it's going to be interesting to watch. I really don't know how this plays out.

LGD wins a fight so chalice decides to give them a kill? I dunno. NIP are behind and eblade is done so this is real scary right now

Oh no, LGD is falling into the trap of trying to save the thrower again.
|
maybe morphling needed to buy a glimmer instead of an eblade so he can save his teammates from themselves
|
Strange move from Maybe, I expected Ame to do that.
|
LGD came in with a good plan to counter NiP's Enigma strat. Game 3 should be interesting.
|
unless NiP gets 2 or 3 great fights with black hole this is over

this is nearing unthrowable status for lgd

They'd need them to run down mid solo to win this. NiP doesn't have enough damage.

quite a passive approach...

after winning smashlingly lgd decide that they'll abruptly play the dota version of a no-rush 20

Agree, though the problem with that match was preparation from LGD. NiP has won a lot of games around the pos 4 Enigma, but LGD was prepared and had a good counter to it. It allows for your core to normally get rolling hard, so a Morph with a Shotgun let them wipe out other team fights by erasing the supports. Was a really good adaptation to beating the strategy.

I don't know why slacks brings up NS. it's very much a win more hero.

Slacks identifies with it? But NiP is the only team that runs it.

Does LGD play Arc Warden? NP + Arc Warden is an NiP special, but LGD going for a late game global strat for game 3 eliminator would make a lot of sense.
|
peculiar that lgd banned meepo when they picked pango, as pango is monstrously good against meepo. That's some respect.
|
terrorblade
|
wait
lgd didn't pick naga? qop is good here but more important than securing one of the last good carries?

It's Game 3 in the Lower Bracket. Safety First.
Question is if they ban the Broodmother.

Okay, they did ban the Brood. Good idea.
|
LGD no stuns apart from Pango ult so far
|
|
|
well, the razor isn't going to have a good game with all the link breaks, but terrorblade seems free after he gets bkb?

LGD's draft is not the draft I expected from them.

LGD has targeted that ruining Fata's game is a key aspect to beating NiP. We'll see if it works.

Also, how does LGD hit towers without a lot of heroes dead?

I think that works when 33 doesn't have a hard carry scaling core in the offlane.
|
Well, Nip has no stuns either! Two Ults, Nightmare and a random root.
|
Talk about musical lanes!
|
nip's lanes looking sketchy, even top losing the others
mid and bottom starting to even out with LD getting a firmer grasp
qop's rotation to kill the batrider took a long time. Fata's not going to catch up to qop any time soon but he's going to make good use of a free lane, or another hero farming mid.
|
LGD has some pretty big holes in their line up. Taking Roshan is probably the biggest concern.

Or towers. Or killing all of NiPs cores in 20 minutes. LGD has to push the tempo.

an even game favors terrorblade

I didn't even think about that, maybe if they get a medallion on np they could

|
|
|
I feel like LGD was winning the early game, but I don't see how they hold once TB and LD get farmed.
And that fight did not help things at all.
|
Overall, what I see is: Neither team plays good enough to take down Liquid later on!
|
maybe if abba and pango or np both rush halberd/crimson
|
how to win against nip: win the side lanes
jesus that fight at the bot t2, talk about a razor's edge (har har)
|
LGD staying even on farm is impressive. Midas Furion is definitely wise. I wonder if more LGD heroes should have grabbed a midas.

You lost to OG in TI because of your own mistakes not because OG draft is actually better.

I agree. I think Prophet grabbed it at ~17 minutes. That's late enough to realize their tempo game plan failed.
NiP aren't farming hard enough either.
|
The team fights pretty much turns on if ppd lives or not.
|
LGD might have hit a critical timing.
|
Yeah I think LGD might have drafted enough utility to transition from early tempo to late game.
|
Xnova with that kill+deny move, so cool
|
Fata is a non-factor this game
|
LGD needs to end game before TB amasses up a critical amount of hp to tank the initial burst. And there is still PPD sleep to save him.

Indecisive river battle, part duex.

Welp. Just realise Ace didn't even go stats build on TB lmao.
|
LGD is just outplaying NIP.
|
Going for S&Y instead of Manta is a really questionable decision, especially against Pango...
|
Was there a reason why NIP took that fight mid with their batrider dead? I don't get it, their fights seem so forced.
|
LGD can't throw anymore. I think they've won. At least NiP have gotten their TI qualification this tournament. PPD belongs at TI

Slacks was right. Should have banned the Pango.

Well...did not expect NiP to lose this game. That was really an outplay from LGD.

eventhough LGD manage to pull it through, this is just such a shit draft.

Well, 1-2 against EG and LGD is a pretty big improvement over the rest of their year, at least since the first Major. 5/6th coming into this LAN is a good result for them. Though seeing that keeping heavy split pressure against them works well will be an issue for them going forward.

Agree, some tourneys ago NIP wasn't solid, they were losing as soon as they met a T1 team. Now they look solid (well at least in my definition of solid :o ) and can win vs anyone more or less.

Well, they still have serious problems going high ground, move a bit too slow and Fata's hero pool is slowly going out of the Meta again. But all 3 series they had in the Bracket turned on in-game plays and each could have gone either way. They beat DPC #4, then lost to #3 and #5 1-2. That's a good place to be going into the last part of the season.
Also helps they shut down the drama around the first Major of the year and locked in their trip to TI. Which somehow is the first time since TI5 that ppd has gotten a direct invite to TI.

The draft panel was saying before the game that they didn't know whether Nisha or MidOne was going to play it because Secret hasn't played it before at all. Don't know if that's 100% accurate or how to check.

It's MidOne's first official pro game on Meepo but surely he has quite a few pub games on it

datdota.com lets you search by player/hero combo. There's a few other pretty unique search combos too. But as I edited above, first Meepo game for Secret and first pro Meepo game for MidOne.

WK got 0 out of that lane and Silencer and Nyx also got nothing out of it, while Tide just got his levels and was so hard to kill.

You just have to accept Puppey drafting is unreliable unlike during Wings' peak. That's how Secret dropped out of multiple tournaments early despite being top favorites.

Puppey's drafts are completely different from any other team, he has strategy in his head and sometimes it is executed to perfection, sometimes it fails miserably. It's not "let's have fun with these shitty picks and see how it goes", he believes in his drafts.
He also deviates from usual meta most of the time.

Good move putting PA mid though. Breaking even on farm against WR actually favors PA.
|
EG needs to focus zai more for the ez kills imo. Yes MK is fucked but going for MK in these big teamfights is some high risk high reward play if you don't have him locked down.
Zai is more like the low risk high reward kill. He just dies with nothing he can do about it.
//and as I say that zai kills doom in return for going after him

We're also at the Doom being a free solo kill against the other offlaner part of the game.
|
Then EG starts the feed train lol.
|
that was... quite questionable from s4

And EG decide its time to THROW, they just turned a 7k lead into a 1k lead with an absolute silly play lol.
|
Name a better duo than EG and throwing away leads close to the rosh pit. lmfao
how does this shit keep happening
|
Best performance I have seen from EG in a while. Finally learned to play as a team selflessly. They didn't even look like this the previous series against NIP.
Except that rosh throw.
|
1278 damage crit
game is looking dire for the dire
|
s4 giveth and taketh away, jeez
|
WR is starting to show how useless this hero is in teamfights for her amount of networth.

Feels like EG got a real chance to beat Secret if they just play abit tighter in high pressure situations.

Why are teams still falling into the trap of trying to save the guy walking uphill with little/no vision?

EG need to have their next bootcamp in switzerland so they can properly acclimate themselves to mountainous terrain

all in all, EG did a lot better than I expected across the series.

Maybe he self cast blink? I don't think you would do it intentionally, he had the angle for it
That was a fantastic smoke flank though

Nah I think he wouldn't end up there with double blink. Probably used it to get across the cliff but was too far away and didn't have the range, so got there. That was pretty game-losing blink.

I hope the last series of the day won't end 2-0.

So....Liquid will lose this game either in 25 minutes or will win it after 35 min once Morph is online.
|
matumba with 11 denies and morph with 3 kills (2+1 assist?)
looking good so far
|
TAIWAN NUMBAH WAN5956 Posts
looking very good so far!
|
we havn't seen a single doom yet, have we?
|
Ame charging head-on into enemy team, classic.
|
that rosh might win LGD the game
|
kuro needs something to get away from ursa imo? You don't usually go euls on Doom but that might be something worth considering?
oh he's going for ghost scepter
|
that eblade from miracle saved the teamfight lol. Without it Kuro dies before getting Doom of and TA survives
|
this is a free rosh for LGD, there won't be doom or ravage for Liquid to properly contest
e: nvm lol
|
kuro with the tactical feed
|
TAIWAN NUMBAH WAN5956 Posts
oh my god the lotus for the abyssal

looks like free rosh for liquid

Yeah it said 4k networth lead, but it feels like game over for LGD.

Liquid: We make our own luck

Hi LGD, nullifier is a good item.
|
I'm actually surprised more people don't go for that talent on morph. Obviously alot of heroes have great synergy with themselves so it should be better then a little more damage from waveform.
|
Now that's the Liquid I like to see! Well played guys!

Good game from Liquid. LGD couldn't hit the timing they wanted and the inevitable happened.
|
I want to puke honestly. Ursa/TA got double Razor'd. My God.
|
great first game from liquid. Throughout the tournament we had many questionable plays and games and while this might not have been the best or most flashy game from liquid I feel like that was one of the most stable, if not the most stable beatdown with no hiccups. Against LGD no less. Looking good
|
Ursa stayed in PvE mode way too long imo.
|
Great first game from Liquid. Ghost scepter is the item of this game.
Now one more game and we have our rematch against EG.

It is a bit underpicked but they still go for it, just mostly depends on your heroes. And if you have good enemy targets to Morph into then it doesn't matter what heroes you get on your side.

The lack of Necrophos picks in this tournaments feels weird to me.

Nice treecutting by MC but not sure how much that was just a Ame moment lol

Feels like LGD should be pushing harder instead of farming with dusa this game. LGD lineup isn't really that good against Liquid's late.
|
TAIWAN NUMBAH WAN5956 Posts
Considering we got jumped on in the rosh pit with wukong and echo that was not too bad actually

Yea LGD is going to lose this shit. Perfect engagement with Liquid staying in the ring, yet LGD took so long to kill them.

once roshan is up matuma can just send the bear top, they have to kill the bear probably with multiple people to make sure it doesn't get a hit on the rax and liquid just gets rosh, right?

That was super awkward for Ame.
This is still doable for LGD after that.
|
I feel like that's the first time I've seen the Nyx Aghs really make sense.
|
TAIWAN NUMBAH WAN5956 Posts
LGD holding on with a really good fight there

MC used Refresher Shard immediately? Didn't see but I guess his ult was on CD before that?

I guess LGD still has a chance if they drag it to dusa's rapier

I don't think Liquid clicked on Ame to see he had Refresher, so the second round of MK ult + BKB caught them off guard
|
I thought there was no fucking way Liquid was going to lose that
I have no idea how LGD turned that at the rosh pit towards the end
|
TAIWAN NUMBAH WAN5956 Posts
yeah that refresher on Ame redeemed his really sloppy play throughout this game

Just how... panel curse strikes again. Now ban plz the Earthshaker in case you are not having first pick.

This major is delivering in every way possible. There's just an absurd amount of good teams playing good games here, I can't even believe how good of a day today has been.

idk about that. If you get megas at that point it's maybe just a tiny amount more difficult to push for LGD because they have a dusa after all but if they push they're going down mid as 4 or 5 and the sidelanes will push in and that gives so much more options for Liquid.
Miracle + Matumba going for baserace for example would be an option with megas if you feel the fights are too hard.
|
TAIWAN NUMBAH WAN5956 Posts
As good as GH played that game, if he does not randomly get caught on the top rax there we get megas and keep our aegis and probably win the game.
But really LGD played that so well in the end

Yes and regardless of megas your win condition is a bear killing their throne so you are gunna need bkb with hex and all that junk.. the roar bkb isn’t enough alone

hell they'd probably just have to posture defensively and stop LGD from killing their throne without actually getting in a 5on5 fight.
You can recall the bear with megas and just let the sidelanes do their job and LGD has to win within seconds vs a TL that knows they only have to keep them busy or they lose their throne vs creeps back at home.

In hindsight i am actually glad Liquid lost that game.
Because thought of 5 melee heroes winning against medusa-mk-shaker-witch doctor-furion creeps me out now that i think about it.

Liquid getting kills but not towers. They have to deal with PA + RP and doom at some point.

Not feeling the Yasha into BKB build that Ame is going for... Even with Empower I don't think that it will do enough.

uh oh. Liquid needs to end the game soon.

I'm sooooo worried for Liquid

RP into lina stun + soul bind laguna doom. Game is on Fy's back.

ikr. the tension is killing me. Liquid looks amazing but the game's on a razors edge. If Miracle dies once it could be over just with that

As long they don't clump up against the RP, Liquid should be able to take this.

holy shit that was scary as fuck. Miracle had to BKB to make sure he gets the aegis. That could have been game over right there if they don't win the fight and lock him down on his 2nd life.
