The playoff stage is a dual elimination tournament with best of three matches for the upper bracket and best of ones for the lower bracket. The standard CEVO rules and map pool applies to the tournament.
Man, it feels like Liquid is a tier 2 teams judging from these plays. They are just pugging it out. Feels like a 10 man...I see no strategy from Liquid.
Holy crud, Liquid just lost 19-16 on Liquid's map choice. Liquid lost against a team that is playing with a new roster for the first time. Holy moly. And Liquid was suppose to be able to compete with EU teams? This is pretty demoralizing.
I've been seeing Liquid playing a lot of 10 man instead of scrimming and practicing. Liquid management needs to get these kids back into shape and stop lazying around.

Liquid is so weird, they constantly surprise me, and then immediately disappoint me.

Yeah I agree... they surprise you and consistently win like 3/4 maps and then always suddenly drop maps to teams they really shouldn't lose too
Tempo Storm is just dominating Liquid on Cobble. Liquid seems lost. It feels like the eve before a complete disband. Fugly buying an awp instead of giving it to Adren. Not sure what they are doing...

Disband? They're not looking so bad (in relation to other NA teams) in general. Some Pros are saying that if the trend continues then they will probably be the best NA team soon. They are just shaky as fuck.
Liquid just lost 16-7 to Tempo Storm on Cobble. TS takes it 2-0 over Liquid. Damn this is embarrassing for Liquid. Just imagine how Liquid will do on LAN against EU teams. Wowsers.
I'm watching this Inferno game and Liquid does not look good with Hiko. Everything seems disjointed. If I had to judge from this game only I think flowsick is still a better fit than hiko for Liquid.

How did they play? Well I've seen them really struggling against Elevate in this league winning just barely in a bo3. Including a 4x OT where they barely made it. With Flowsick. Not sure if yesterday could be worse Is this the first series we've seen them playing with Hiko? I dislike Hiko as much as the next one but we shouldn't base our opinions on their play just on one game.
Did Fugly just flash himself while having an ak in a 1vs1 vs a pistol and lose the rounds because of this? This was probably the dumbest way to get anti-eco'd ever.

Afaik Hiko was sick. How did they play? I watched until the maps were 1:1 and TL was 11:2 or something behind. I then decided that the match was over and I could get some sleep. Now you tell me I missed the comeback
