they lost to one of the best teams and loud who actually look decent rn
im not discrediting LOUD. They played amazing but holy fuck Liquid were embarrassing today. That gameplay was on par with Karmine Korp
As a liquid fan i gotta say their plays were just the same thing every round and they were losing like 80% of all duels. This isnt the liquid we saw at emea league
map pool issue 100 percent, they understand how to play fracture and bind and they dont understand how to play haven and split at all. should have picked bind lmfao
eeeeh they deserve criticism, they looked horrible - not t1 level but watching sliggy lose his mind is a rare thing
its such a fall from grace too, they looked really good in EMEA and then decent in Tokyo
Theyve had internal issues with sayf committing "team terrorism" (quote from an observer, Jack Igoe, who said that on his stream when speculating about roster moves - with neither bodork or flyn disagreeing with the take of Sayf potentially getting replaced) apparently so idek
hmm? is that just based on his comments early in this season? if hes the one helping midround unless redgar just plugs his ears and goes lalala then drop him aswell atp. but cant imagine thats true since gambit had issues attacking aswell.
I dont know sadly, no one I asked had any info on it (/wanted to tell me)
Jack Igoe did observe during Lock-In so possibly, but the fact that 2 leakers were both fully on board with replacing an absolute stat monster with t2 players leads me to believe that there might still be issues
heres the vod, should start at 54m 20s https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1886719116?t=00h54m20s
this is acc crazy insightful ty very much. interesting that redgar is very loose and it was him and nats mostly playing together which makes sense but not that much insight on sayf team terrorizing and tbh he does say the other possible change in tl is nats moving to content which i dont see happening in the next 5 years cuz the man loves competing too much tbh
Lets be realistic liquid got destroyed, all they say is 'next time we will be better'
ggs, I dont know if this team will continue but good luck to all the players fr
