Luckily, he is not the Captain of this Team but fly.

And saying Cr1t is the weak link of this team is really, really questionable.

Well, the only person left in the tourney that I want to cheer for is w33, so I guess I'm on the Liquid lower bracket bandwagon lol

I am looking for those people that were saying how W33ha is HUGE DOWNGRADE compared to Matu.


never understood this hate... he's one hell of a player (TI finalist and major winner).

People are just dumb, that's all. They weren't hating, they actually think Matu is much better, even if it was true sometimes you just need a change, a fresh start with new teammate that brings his own hero pool to your team and build a different strategies around him that will force your opponents to adapt differently than to what they used to against old Liquid etc.

Wut?
Cr1t is one that often carries the EG when everybody else have a bad game. The real problem for EG lies in RTZ and Sumail being the complete opposites of one another(one wants to afk farm while other is overly aggressive) and them playing way to safe when have a huge lead instead of pressing the advantage. Nothing to do with Cr1t.

I really don't trust the current state of Secret to beat VG. Though Fade/Yang could still turn into pumpkins, as they did last year.

I think EG got problems in their drafts as well... they always look so stagnating and predictable you never have a choice that makes you think "what a stroke of genius"

Yeah, RTZ and Sumail don't mix well, and it was always an issue, they have never truly solved to bring out the best in both at the same time.

Actually, should I root for China to win in China? If I had to predict someone winning, I would bet on LGD

They have never been known for innovation, outside a few moments when Maelk had his concept drafts. But I also suspect it is due to trying to a square peg into a hole, due to the play style of individual players.

LGD has a 33% chance of winning. VG has something like a 5% chance.

going 0-2 into playing an all-star match is pretty messed up

ppd even said trying to draft with a RTZ/Sumail dual core was a problem, though he thought he almost got there before RTZ bailed.

I'm worried that losing TI three years in a row would be awful for the Chinese scene, so please win LGD!
