What are the odds of OG going full troll mode and picking something like techies, or naix + storm spirit / spirit breaker, or some heroes that were completely unpicked so far?

Extremely low

I mean, Liquid did objectively make many mistakes including those that were not directly forced, i have even seen Miracle fail last hitting under tower without any pressure, let alone that w33's use of refraction under nether ward to break his own blink. All it tells me is that OG's psychological game works.

I still believe in making mistakes when you have the vision for the entire fight but i guess for uninformed actions then yes.

As a reminder, LGD was up 2-1 last year. This isn't over. Plus, TL is going to shift things up.


Its different. How can liquid show up for game 4 after these 2 MAJOR STOMPS?


LGD stomped OG pretty hard in games 2 & 3 last year, but TL might have played too much in the Lower Bracket. They might just be tapped out of concepts.
LGD was the most aggressive team trying to snowball from laning phase, while OG was the opposite. This OG is even more versatile and mature, for obvious reasons, since they have had more time together.

But yeah, it is easy to paint yourself into a corner throughout the "meta".

he just hate OG man, dont mind him

If we have another stomp into shit finals, LGD is to be blamed for throwing against Liquid.

OTOH i have a nagging feeling OG would do the same vs LGD as well: throw game 1 somehow then roll them. They simply look that invincible right now where the only reason they lose games is their own throws.

OG are just masters in the art of making the game the most chaotic way and come out ontop of the other Team in most cases these days :D a pretty funny way to play dota

You think LGD would have survived the Ember+Monkey game? No way.

There is a chance as at least LGD has a clue how to fight OG in an aggressive stance.

This is similar to why i would've preferred DK or EG fighting Newbee than VG during TI4 finals because they at least would make the games look close. Just a difference of style and familiarity

Exact same reason Newbee ruined the TI7 finals when they killed LFY.

LFY i had so much hope about that team. Whatever this is the results we have. Liquid and OG earned it

In any case. LGD's pure dota gameplay is so much more fun to watch and rewarding for a person who loves high level dota gameplay (MOST OF THE TIME). This mongolian garbage style is so boring.

its skandinavian actually

Australian actually, OG are literally playing QO's patented caveman dota right now.

Still had 1 ranged hero in game 2 :/

They would be a disappointment to QO. There needs to be zero range heroes and then play that dota.

That said i finally know why that divine rank rager hates rubick, this hero really feels like it does nothing in games like these.

Wings' style was also straight to the jugular. Once a team reaches enough coordination it feels like they can just fight whenever they want. NaVi was also about following the trail of chaos left by hvost. Loda also had his seemingly suicidal charges 100% relying on his teammates to bail him out and to create something out of it.

I agree to a point. What I mean to say is that it seems like OG’s way of playing would lose to a team that didnt allow themselves to be bullied into not playing flawlessly


So basically OG beat teams that they're better than, and would lose to a team that was better than them

Not exactly. More like OG strategical approach to dota is one dimensional and unsound in that it relies on their opponents being sufficiently prone to make mistakes.

I'd say it's very fucking sound if it works well vs the best teams in the world.

Thats because you’re so unambitious as to settle for winning. If OG cared about greatness they wouldnt just be content with beating teams that are making mistakes, they would play in a way that would allow them to not instantly lose if a team that doesnt make mistakes comes along

But you know ... teaching the blind about colours ...


I still think some of the comments here are borderline trolling and it gets me more mad than my favorit team (Liquid) beeing on the verge of getting stomped 1 - 3
