Somehow last year OG were only good at dragging the game.

This year OG are so much better at just turning the game into party mm they are invincible.


This OG is a lot better than last year's.

I have to agree here. Last year OGs macro game was unparalleled while their micro moments were really inconsistent, esp in the early game. This year every player pulls his weight at every moment in the game.

Liquid has to stop drafting these huge teamfight ults. They’re pointless if you never are the ones to initiate the fight.

It’s like Puppey’s old “the threat of Black Hole makes the enemy play cautious” thing got in Kuro’s head and OG just doesn’t care about it.

Why the shift in ogre meta from ignite to fireblast? Becuase his position went up from a hard 5 to a potentially farming 3?
He should have mana problems maxing that fireblast early

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

I am more and more convinced that LGD should've faced OG. They looked better against OG than this shit

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

I didn't really feel Topson's impact in TI8.

I am feeling it massively in TI9.

w33 are in clear tilt now.

Honestly this series so far is the reason i did not want Liquid in grand final. Because after OG win their back-to-back everyone will look at w33 as the only guy who did not win a TI on their team.

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.
