Getting all-killed by Bomber is something completely different than almost getting all-killed by Tassadar.

Liquid should consider changing their lineup by removing uselss players and getting someone who is actually skilled.

The next season of GSTL will be in... what... 3 months? Let's see if Liquid can even keep the current roster in Korea until then if one or two foreigners decide to leave and go back to their home countries. IMO, until you have a proper coach present and a team with at least 8-9 permanent players who really practice hard, I don't think you will ever make it far in GSTL. Liquid should seriously consider looking into a cooperation with another team again.

Liquid won NASTL and was highest finishing foreigner team in IPL with losing twice 4-5 to korean teams. do you honestly think any other foreign team would have done better necessarily? So unless you are advocating that TL should become a purely korean team...

I applaud them for entering the GSTL ring. Things were quite hectic for them before, branching out and setting up their own place etc. TLO is already showing great promise of improvement. Team bonding from this is a neat experience for the players, not so much the viewers. I think next season will show better results.

I do agree though, they need a bigger roster. I'm sure they will give us at least another person to cheer for before the next.

Seems like in the end it comes down to foreigners needing to practise as much as the koreans...
... again.

If Liquid partners with another team it should be Fnatic. The only way we would possibly get to see foreigners.

Ideal would be if they added SuperNova and TheStc to the roster and maybe get SK (a.k.a. MC) to partner with them for the next season. Then things would look much better in GSTL. A coach -- possibly even fluent in Korean -- to be there, analyze, and cheer them on would also be a good thing. That or partner with a Korean team again.

+1

The problem with ret is, that everyone says that he is not practicing that much.
And imo he would be the underdog against every Code A/S player in a tournament.

They don't necessarily have to do better results wise, but it would help if their players actually showed up in Korea (preferably a few weeks before the matches), if Nazgul and Bumblebee showed up instead of talking over Skype (lol), if they didn't stream for days before the first match, if they didn't play showmatches in between the two GSTL matchdays, even if they skipped Code A qualifiers if they weren't ready for ZeNEX. It's like 10-15 days of their lives/careers, if they can't even give that much actively practicing 12 hours a day only for GSTL, a team with a much worse lineup could have done better if they committed to it.

THEN they can get all-killed twice, I don't care, losing happens and it's perfectly natural.

They're playing in the most prestigious team league in the world, and the only one that even matters. It's probably the most significant event in their careers so far (except maybe for HerO), and it certainly was for the team. It's like getting a chance to play in Proleague and blowing it by not even taking it seriously on top of being the underdog.
