It is honestly "how many times do we need to teach you this lesson, [EG Drafter]?" at this point. They won't learn, and nobody is holding them accountable.

Yeah people keeps saying "it's not bulba's fault EG is losing" but then, who is picking first phase storm constantly? Abed can play so many heroes, including meepo, but they keep putting him on storm.

Also Tundra just played better, draft notwithstanding. All of EG played below their capabilities.

Tundra played very well!
"my" BB got a point. And BC basically threw game 2...

I just hope they abandon the first phase Storm meme, it's clearly not working and makes them predictable.

edit: and they firstpick storm again, welp looks like another loss

I don't get this DK carry meta. I mean i understand that it hits a early-midgame strongly but still it has a weak period in the later parts of the game and it doesn't always scale well

This could just be NA competitiveness dropping or i guess the team is playing under pressure. Rtz was facepalming losing their 3rd game on camera. That looks like stress to me

EG eating some high tier shellackings, but it was expected vs Tundra at least.

I always thought this is the worst roster for a long time, not to mention the meme that is Bulba but let's see, maybe they start playing well against real teams (and not just NA) later in this major and prove me wrong

If EG keeps this up, I wonder if this will finally be the performance that costs Arteezy/Bulba their careers.

Yeah if they keep playing like this it seems unlikely they will place any other position except last. Decent plays by Betboom though! Daxak is a beast.

Yeah I expected a better showing from them, but nightfall was just a shadow of himself from the DPC and the team overall felt very disjointed, they just played very poorly. Sad thing is that they will most probably say "it's because of no bootcamp" and don't change a thing.

I'd rather they disband if this is how they play.

Honestly i don't see a future with the core Crit-Arteezy-Abed team. I'd rather see them on different teams

Same. my dream is RTZ going back to mid in some other team to build himself up again to be the top player he is capable of being, but I don't see it happening ever.

nightfall doesnt seem like a natural offlane player, neither does jerax at hard support and theres not a lot of chemistry between the roster. these just add to the problems that EG already had last year that everybodys already known about.

I don't even care if arteezy plays support or offlane. I'd rather just see him on another team i'd still watch for the heck of it.

Yeah I expected a better showing from them, but nightfall was just a shadow of himself from the DPC and the team overall felt very disjointed, they just played very poorly. Sad thing is that they will most probably say "it's because of no bootcamp" and don't change a thing.

I'd rather they disband if this is how they play.

Honestly i don't see a future with the core Crit-Arteezy-Abed team. I'd rather see them on different teams

Same. my dream is RTZ going back to mid in some other team to build himself up again to be the top player he is capable of being, but I don't see it happening ever.

I don't even care if arteezy plays support or offlane. I'd rather just see him on another team i'd still watch for the heck of it.

I was a SADBOYS follower since the beginning but this is just like sad

Yep yep this is just soulcrushing I just want my boi RTZ to play well

Never believed in this EG roster

Jerax is the definition of a washed player + he is not a 5. I watched his 50 nyx games on stream before he got picked up by EG, looked like a rank 500-1000 player.

Nightfall is Ramzes 2.0 - not an offlaner

Arteezy - I know he likes the pressure and wants to be the most farmed hero on the map, back in the day when he bursted onto the scene that happened from mid with SF, Alch, TA etc. then patches happened and the safelane was again the true pos 1, but I cannot shed the feeling he wasted his talent and career on carry. Now is too late.

Yeah having Nightfall playing offlane seems like such a waste of talent. They could honestly kick RTZ, pick up another 3 and have a better chance going forward with Nightfall pos 1. Not going to happen but something clearly needs to change at least.

Ill make a couple big guys to display.

And then I make anything people want. As long as they can pull up a photo or if the have a plushie or a tshirt with an image etc. For most dota2 things its about 15 minutes or so to make. ESL pays me to come out and as long as people are willing to wait I make balloons for everyone that comes!!

I just did a blog post over at TL.net if you wanna check out some photos.

https://www.instagram.com/balloonsforgamers/

thats my insta but the last 2+ years have not had many balloons going .....damn covid.

Good stuff TSM. Proud to see my NA boys notch a big scalp and dispel some doubters.

Rough day for Liquid. They looked not very hot in all three games, game 1 was a clear outdraft and even then they had some issues. Game 2 and 3 were

Cannot remember having seen zai that "weak" in a tournament for a very long time. Micke was also more miss than hit in their games. Hopefully they will recover, but losing on home turf that hard must be frustrating...

The hype around BOOM ended as quickly as it begun. Two well deserved victories by OG and I presume that Ceb will not be allowed to play WR again in the tournament. So many clutch shackle shots and he had more impact on the game as some Pos 2-WR.

In the absence of the chinese teams, EU is about having three out of their four teams under the top 8. With still two teams having a decent shot at getting to the top3.

What a sick game from TSM. That arena catch by SabeRLighT and the Supernova timing on Moon on dyrachYO in the base was a huge turning point.

Woo, very nice TSM. Showing a lot of strength against the top EU teams here.

TSM showing NA was good region! EG got to stage of beating them a bit too so what happened to EG this major is just crazy.

Hoping TSM vs Tundra repeats itself in grand finals and one of them win it as imo one of them deserve it too.

That have been two hell of a series between Tundra/TA and TSM/GG. The battle of SEA was a snooze festival compared to these two matches.

The losses from GG were really harsh, throwing game 1 and giving away a huge lead in game 2 may give them a blow to their morale. Unless mistaken, except for Ace it is their first showing on LAN while TSM had TI-attending and major winning veterans in their squad. TSM showed again that everything is possible in a Dota-Game, great resilience under extreme pressure. Let´s see if GG can bounce back, otherwise it will be a valuable lesson for them and at least they have secured a Top6-finish and they are not going out without some points and money.

I'm very curious about TSM vs Tundra. TSM hasn't shown any interest in zoo offlaners since two games of Beastmaster and a game of Lycan 30 days ago. No Visage on their history at all. I'm guessing Saberlight can play zoo fine, but as a team they prefer not to. Meanwhile Tundra has picked Beast/Lycan/Visage more than 50% of their Major games. So it seems like an interesting stylistic clash.

NA/SA finals ? YEAH that american civilwar finals

I don't really count OG mostly cause they haven't really won anything or did run deep on anything since their inception. So i count them as just as sucky.

RIP SEA dota.

Once while Midone and Mushi, or Moon or Ice3 in Fnatic, they are still competitive with other region. Though Armel and Raven looked great when play internally in SEA, their weakness is exposed when play internationally.

We missed Malaysian and Singaporean to bring back glory to SEA.

So happy for TSM. They grinded hard as Undying back in the day always placing third to EG and QC, and now they're in the finals of a Major.

OG look strong. But it is with Ceb on a LAN. We will see if they can handle pressure and manage shotcalls without him on next major/TI

Once while Midone and Mushi, or Moon or Ice3 in Fnatic, they are still competitive with other region. Though Armel and Raven looked great when play internally in SEA, their weakness is exposed when play internationally.

We missed Malaysian and Singaporean to bring back glory to SEA.

Hmm T1, Boom and apparently Fnatic are all good teams, just wasn't their tournament.


SEA embraced 1st, 2nd & 3rd, but is bottom 3 not top 3. So sad. I can only say good SEA players were mostly exported to.other region:

China:
NTS, xNova, JT, Oli, Ghost

EG:
Abed

Secret:
Ice3

Armel, Yopaj, Raven shown excellent players but only in SEA, not with other region.

Well, not the 2:1 as predicted, but ok

Tundra 2:1 TSM 1:2
TA 1:2 OG 0:2
GG 2:1 OG 0:2

Well, at least one game I had the winner correctly

Still think Tundra is stronger as OG

Tundra 2:1 OG

But I think TSM can do it!

TSM 3:2 Tundra

I mean BOOM just won one of the few lans we have this year and it involved almost all the relevant teams. It is just this major they have a mediocre showing even tho one of them made it to top 8

T1 in top 8 just because the others in the same group were all zero win, and Boom was in the same group too. You can be lucky cos your were grouped into weak group.

I felt pinoy occupied SEA, and this kind of chasing away other SEA players, maybe communication or playstyle different made pinoy hard to accept other SEA players. Most of them quit and what the team did is further recruit more pinoy. (Sorry is pinoy an insultng term? I hope not)

Midone joined SMG which rather no future, maybe he feels more comfortable in his domain team. Nothingtosay the greatest SEA midlane nowadays joined China with better achievement.

I do read some article mentioned Karl, Raven, Armel, 23savage those are best SEA players... suddenly I feel so sad, cos it showed how poor is SEA dota now.

SEA was pretty bad before it got "pinoy-occuptied" as you said. The only time SEA started actually winning was when TNC became a thing

One hell of a lower bracket run from OG all the way from the LR1. I'm believing the finals will be closer than I anticipated now, though I'm predicting TSM 3-2.

I remember someone on TL once called dota a game that gets won in twenty minutes and then the loosing team has another twenty minute death animation. I disagreed at the time, but this patch feels so snowbally.

Tbf TSM played an early game pushing draft, so yeah the game was pretty much over when OG got out of the early game with a significant lead. But Dota games atm seem to go only in one direction.

game three at least could have gone either way, OG just outplayed TSM in the late game and it was always going to be hard against invoker and TA

Game 1: Slight outdraft by TSM
Game 2: Significant outdraft by OG
Game 3: Thought TSM was winning but that last fight was a really poor decision.
Game 4: Just a stomp.

Gratz to OG, we'll see what TSM bring back next time. Making the finals is a great step for them.

I agree, but game 3 was the only one that didn't feel entirely decided at 20 minutes. And mainly because the weaker team had a slight lead and the stronger team kept trading in fights. Once one team got above 5k lead the game was immediately over again.

Game 3 was still a good game to watch though.

Had a great time at this Major!!!

Got to meet and talk to many fans, players , production, well from everywhere and that's one of the most amazing things is getting to connect with each and everyone of everyone in this amazing community! <3

Some fans managed to get me the Liquid players signatures witch I was so touched that they did that. Even not following the game so much I will always root for TeamLiquid and be wearing my tl gear!! Even got to talk to a couple guys boxi and the player manager? and another player?? Oh my ... im bad.. so many people !!

I managed to snag a few pics I hope someone might have some others?

Thank you ESL
James for getting this started
Naz and the entire TL community/teams/crew...etc.
You all have played parts in allowing me to live out some of my bigger dreams...Id love to do so much more ...never know keep reaching..
