I don't think EG wins, which given my track record this TI, means we see a game 3

Why did Liquid ban Ench if they have a first pick?

Yep im confused at why any team with first pick would ban bambi,


See the OG/EG series. Enchantress wins her lane, which lets you rotate either to the mid or safe lane, potentially winning all 3 lanes. Also, Turret Bambi just does work. TL had real problems closing game 2 against RNG because of how strong she is as a front-line tank.

You missed the point: TL had first pick, they had no problems picking her themselves. Unless we are to treat Ench first ban as admittance of inability to play one of the most broken heroes in the patch.

EDIT: The point about SD-ET double pick is valid, but nothing stops you from banning SD or ET instead of Bambi.


Enchantress doesn't fit TL that well as a pos 3, as it puts MC on a hero he can't be super aggressive on.

Last time i checked, DS hardly qualifies for that either.

They nerfed Ion Shell to oblivion...

Lifestealer has to go for a fighting build...armlet/deso if he goes radiance, he will be outfarmed this game.

Last picking naix after all of the new looks Liquid has shown this series is a fine, fine summary of EG's limitations.

rtz has vast hero pool. i know naix is a strong hero, but limiting rtz to naix makes eg too predictable.

DS is definitely MC's hero, falls into SK/Tide/Centaur/Enigma category of initiation heroes that get auras. Enchantress doesn't.

Good death by Kuroky, he avoids getting a kill streak = he can feed with impunity.
