I'd say KR is a slight favourite over Haypro, Hero a slight favourite over Rain and Ret and Sheth are both favoured over their opponents. So while it could be a close series, it doesn't look too bad for Liquid all in all.

"oh it looks like haypro has a nice adv" stutter stutter stutter "oh now KR has caught up and looks like he's going to take this!" stutter stutter stutter "oh haypro back in the driving seat" stutter stutter stutter "wait a minute, KR looking really good again!" ...
The game's over, but as a Liquid fan, it was more frustrating to watch than anything. Haypro got a huge advantage with a good engagement, he was at 5 base for a while while KR was on 2, then KR made a slow but steady comeback thanks to solid play and Haypro throwing away a lot of units needlessly. No creep spread from Haypro either. He managed to pull it together in the end, but that was much too close for comfort considering the huge advantage he had most of the game.

Feel the same. Haypro does some good stuff most of the time, but there are always some facepalm moments in between which makes it not very pleasant to watch.

I don't know why but no matter how long i watch that clip for i just keep laughing. Hope the stream comes back with the lag issues resolved. Liquid Fighting!!!
I can't see Liquid losing at this point. They're favoured in all the 3 remaining games and even if it somehow goes to ace, they have some very strong options with Hero/Ret/Sheth.
edit: heh jinxed it. still think liquid's going to take it 3-1 though.
The phoenixes literally sat over the Ghosts for a few seconds before the EMP came down. I don't think HerO and Rain were looking, but Rain looked first and caught the phoenixes with EMP.

With good phoenix micro, you could actually make it pretty hard to EMP them couldn't you? As long as you keep the acceleration and they're not all stacked, you could see an EMP coming and then dodge and waste all or a few EMPs, ideally trying to close in on him and lift up.
Rain looking super strong for Fnatic - seems to be the ringer for Winner style leagues, but for proleague style it seems like Fnatic falls apart. Grats to liquid!
