Of course it could be OG that looks foolish if TL was in a bit better position in those games and managed to get bait OG into really bad fights, but it's really hard to do from behind 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.

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

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.
Dota Pit Season 4, Korean Dota's highest point. They were so good they caused the great TI6 era Shuffle.

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.

OG's main stage mental fortitude is why they're here.

How do i upvote this?!?!! So damn right!
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

Go out with a bang TL - draft ursa kotol clockwork
FUCK ME, KBBQ IS SUCH A TREASURE

lgd lost in LB final might be a blessing in disguise. no home crowd would like to watch their favourites being trashed and humilitiated like brazil 1-7 germany.

Come on TL, TI8 Finals were solid dota until the team fights started in Game 4. Make this hype!
