If Liquid shows they can beat FXO, then they can do anything they really want to in this league. I BELIEVE!

All-kill format is fun, but I wonder how much the lack of good Proleague-style tournaments is hurting non-star players. Mid-low tier players often come this close to defeating some better known, more respected opponent, but their performances are eclipsed by the "noise" of streaks and all-kills.

It's really interesting to read about how teams approach strategy. All-kill format is definitly the most exciting and suspenseful for me, personally.

typo: "Both of these teams look like they have week depth on paper," should be weak.

but yeah, great write up, I'm impressed by Liquid here, they have done really well in the TAC2 so far and I think they could beat FXO; it'll be close either way though.

A bit uneasy with the Team League analysis by NarutO. He touched on the map choice dynamics at the start with Darkness Falls, but after that failed to mention it in depth later on.

While it's more common to see in Proleague formats (see PvP on Outlier LOL), map choice is a HUGE part of the Team League dynamic. Sometimes it's safer to have an all-around player come in with a snipe map/build combo than it is to have a snipe player come in and use an all-around strategy for most maps. The point being, you send in a snipe player and they win, suddenly they might be at a HUGE disadvantage in the next game (see InCa). However, if you send in an all-around player to snipe with a certain map/build choice, not only does it give you the even ground, or even possibly advantage in the next set should they win, but it also allows you to expend maps in the pool you don't want your ace to be in. (ex. Calm Before the Storm).

Not saying what NarutO said was wrong, I just think the map choice dynamic in Winner's League formats is a bit more important than he implied.

nice writeup. Though I think (and im just being optimistic) that TL will take FXO down. BRing out your A game and roch this out.

Let's be the real, the secret to TL's string of successes is the anti-jinx from the reverse-prediction in all of these threads, so we know what the outcome of TL vs FXO will be

Didn't FXO just lose to TL recently in NASTL? Why so little faith in the boys in blue? (seems to be a recurring theme!)

Either way, I have faith they can take it.
