Man LGD will have a super hard road to TI champs. They are up against teams who abuse clear op heroes. Even if they win the first series, they will expose all their draft strategies to OG.

Well, LGD could abuse op heroes as well. Why don't they?

They play alch and shit but LGD can also win with their usual lineup even till now(testament that they still managed to get into top 3 this tournament) so they normally play the usual lineup.

Is there a meme out there ? why teams are so obsessed with winning vs an Alch , that hero puts so much pressure on your draft and team ..... jeez LGD and now Secret are being stubborn as hell.


Alch got figured out a few days ago. Teams figured out a new strat with him, and suddenly he's not worth banning.

Proper way to shut down Alch was figured out this morning, Secret tried it and failed.

there is a chance liquid also knows how to play IO

they have a weird player like w33ha so probably not a good idea just to give everything they want

Why even bother responding to the "oh they are using OP heroes BS" , LGD were picking the cancer heroes of TI left right and center (Tiny and Void) , those teams play to win , picking Meepo to win a game is FAR from abusive , its actually refreshing!
Alch is currently winning everything and LGD just gave it to OG twice , they can pick/ban it themselves (they know how to play it) , Liquid picked a god damn DS which is off the meta for a while and OG came with the IO core.
so not sure where ppl coming with "abuse clear OP heroes" BS from.

both liquid and OG are just great teams and thats it.(and LGD are amazing as well by the way).

I don't mind alch being a tier 1 carry (except the octarine manta version) while drow or PA being more than niche picks irks me for exemple. The whole battle to create space for the alch is great.

Though alch might be tier S atm.

Yeah, ignoring 50 damage talent from w33 is a critical mistake.

Because Alch has been steamrolling today. Nisha still needs to Hector harder.
