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

It's fine - OG won after being behind 1-2 last year, Liquid can still do that this year :D

So much that. If everyone chokes against a team, there's a pretty good chance something about how they play causes that.

Very great and innovative draft from Liquid! They sure showed OG what they're made of with yet another Tide/TA pick. How fucking shocking. Wowzerz. Unbelievable stuff right there from the Liquid boys!

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

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.

This should have been a 3-0. TL needs to find their other stack of papers.

Liquid has to break this OG momentum if they want to have any chance to crawl their way into a game 5.

But how can they do it?

I feel like they tried to go back to a mix of comfortable heroes and a safe lineup, but it didnt work at all.
They have to go out of the box and somehow throw OG out of this way of playing ...

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

They can indeed, however I hope they don't. OG is just so fun to watch, they deserve to win!

I dont understand why it's so hard to counter OG draft.

Most of their game is just pure aggression
Why not try some pure defensive draft ? Just pick Oracle/Dazzle to save people & a carry with great teamfight like Void or Jugg.

Not your fucking TA...

Edit : Or try Centaur or Silencer to counter their aggression
