2GD

I backed his shooter game years ago wonder if it will ever come out


Wait, it didn't come out? I remember some buzz around it, I just assumed it released, was popular for about 1 month due to it being carried by 2GD's name, and then fizzled out. Much like Battlerite

Wait, Battlerite is dead? I keep wanting to come back to it.

Liquid picks cooldown based heroes and heroes who need to farm.

Seems good

Well you rarely see a team just leave the base one by one and die like Liquid did.
Or see tide or enigma just feed trying to save their carry without even PRESSING their ults, which give you an easy popoff every time you use them on one hero.

Anyone can make stuff seem smart when you use good color commentary.
That just looked day and night from some of the good games on the TI stage.

Liquid could've possibly done something if they fought back but they didn't they just tried to stall. They didn't think they were strong enough to fight OG's skirmishes (not OG's problem if they didn't wanna fight blame liquid for that).

It was kinda that game where two teams had opposite strats. And nobody letting go of that strat and one of them doing super well with their strat. Then that's just it

It wasn't low strategy. It just so happens that liquid's gameplan is for the midgame-lategame. While OG wants to murder them before even reaching that point and has heroes to do it

There was no amount of adapting to anything happening on the map from TL. They easily could have done that shit in, and attempt to play the skirmish in any way, especially before OG ran away with it. They need to be able to use the two ults they drafted when the other team are being needlessly reckless.

Again not our problem or OG's. It was liquid's decision.

They decided to stall as they thought it was the best course of things.

Clearly they misjudged that's why they lost. It looks embarassing but i wonder how much it affected their mindset. OG crushed them

I get that, but the game looks to be in a way worse state than it was in the past TIs. it just looked bad. I guess i just hate OG too much to appreciate the dota, but i think that was a bad game, even if TI finals usually are poorer than the other games.

I don't really think that was low quality. It just so happens that OG kinda crushed Liquid and perhaps for your expectations even if OG wins it shouldn't look that stompy if they beat liquid.

But that is just it. OG has momentum to play fast with the last game and they did. They're playing for millions so if one team gets a momentum and has a chance to hold that advantage they won't ever give it back,

Think back on all the TI's before. There were some really stompy games like the last one,

I get that, but it was uncharacteristically sloppy from TL, and was way worse than the NB/TL stomps.

I can think of a worse TI stomp.

TI4 newbee crushing VG. That was soooo awful to watch for a really great tournament overall.

Yeah, but TI4 Newbee crushing VG was 2 teams doing the same thing and 1 team just doing it better. It was short because their playstyle did not need to go long, and it was stompy because patch did not have any stupid ass comeback mechanics in it.

Been delayed like 4 times already. The game has a lot of potential but I'm not sure anyone will even remember it when it comes out

Yeah but that was different tbh. And after the match, specific changes have happened in the game to actively combat that. And this game just showed a more similar game than one one would expect.

ti4 final sucked not because of the stomp, but because vg refused to fight to their last drop. how they tapped out when their t2 was still standing was baffling and frustrating to watch.

I like that support last pick from OG while still leaving the option for a pos4 tiny in case of a potential core being really great.

That was probably the most lit group stages of TI history, With the b01's and half the teams getting eliminated. It produced some of the most insane games beyond the standards of dota that time.

Then the playoffs had some really surprising results and really funny dynamic playstyle each team.

OG picks low cooldown heroes who only needs levels then kill everybody.

Seems good

Well you rarely see a team just leave the base one by one and die like Liquid did.
Or see tide or enigma just feed trying to save their carry without even PRESSING their ults, which give you an easy popoff every time you use them on one hero.

Anyone can make stuff seem smart when you use good color commentary.
That just looked day and night from some of the good games on the TI stage.

Liquid could've possibly done something if they fought back but they didn't they just tried to stall. They didn't think they were strong enough to fight OG's skirmishes (not OG's problem if they didn't wanna fight blame liquid for that).

It was kinda that game where two teams had opposite strats. And nobody letting go of that strat and one of them doing super well with their strat. Then that's just it

It wasn't low strategy. It just so happens that liquid's gameplan is for the midgame-lategame. While OG wants to murder them before even reaching that point and has heroes to do it

There was no amount of adapting to anything happening on the map from TL. They easily could have done that shit in, and attempt to play the skirmish in any way, especially before OG ran away with it. They need to be able to use the two ults they drafted when the other team are being needlessly reckless.

Again not our problem or OG's. It was liquid's decision.

They decided to stall as they thought it was the best course of things.

Clearly they misjudged that's why they lost. It looks embarassing but i wonder how much it affected their mindset. OG crushed them

I get that, but the game looks to be in a way worse state than it was in the past TIs. it just looked bad. I guess i just hate OG too much to appreciate the dota, but i think that was a bad game, even if TI finals usually are poorer than the other games.

I don't really think that was low quality. It just so happens that OG kinda crushed Liquid and perhaps for your expectations even if OG wins it shouldn't look that stompy if they beat liquid.

But that is just it. OG has momentum to play fast with the last game and they did. They're playing for millions so if one team gets a momentum and has a chance to hold that advantage they won't ever give it back,

Think back on all the TI's before. There were some really stompy games like the last one,

I get that, but it was uncharacteristically sloppy from TL, and was way worse than the NB/TL stomps.

I can think of a worse TI stomp.

TI4 newbee crushing VG. That was soooo awful to watch for a really great tournament overall.


Finals goes so bad it colored everyone's feelings about the rest of the tournament, which was good.

The worst thing about TI4 finals was it happened on a MONDAY.

Impressive how strategically deep this game is. a puddle

Liquid picks cooldown based heroes and heroes who need to farm.

OG picks low cooldown heroes who only needs levels then kill everybody.

TI6 probably had the most “anything can win” patch of all modern history, and it was full of Wings stomping and occasionally getting stomped when they went a little too far and started picking Techies and whatnot.

ti4 final sucked not because of the stomp, but because vg refused to fight to their last drop. how they tapped out when their t2 was still standing was baffling and frustrating to watch.

What was baffling about it? VG understood that they had no chance of comeback in conditions they were playing.

the stomp didn't help

at least when newbee(against liquid) and CDEC was getting stomped they put up sooo much fight

Yeah but that was different tbh. And after the match, specific changes have happened in the game to actively combat that. And this game just showed a more similar game than one one would expect.

Post TI4 meta was great and the patch should have lived longer as the deathball was solved by the top teams.
