Almost lost to a team with no igl 😂
brother brother. liquid don't have their igl, star player, lurker. they aren't like g2/prx who have a sixth player who knows strats. 2 days of prep and u make it that close is completely unexpected
flair. g2 fan talking about win/loss when all u experienced is all on international stage
he’s kinda right though
in the grand scheme of things the win is what matters no matter how scrappy the game/series is
TL lost to the “worst contender” of the event but BLG should be embarrased ig
As if prx haven’t been playing without an igl the majority of if not all of franchising
If you don’t have an igl you would play a style that then doesn’t require you to rely on an igl… the point is simply not having an igl isn’t a problem is how you perform which in liquid’s case is In a vacuum. For all we know they may end up worse with nAts > Penny.
except thats how prx always play, this isnt how tl always play. surely you see the difference yes?
Aka it’s do able… this is nothing more than changing how your team plays which isn’t inherently to their detriment especially to the point of being indicative of not even playing a close game.
changing how your team plays
on 2 days notice
surely you see the issue right please tell me you see the relevance of that
They’ve been playing with penny for a week lol where do you get 2 days notice.
wow!!!! a week!!!! surely theyre more than prepared to face teams that have months if not years of chemistry and deep understanding of their strats!!!!
well, penny himself said they had 2 days of practice didnt he? during the interview when tl walked in
yeah that's what i based it off, even if you insert a week instead the point stood just as well compared to BLG and it wasn't exactly a stomp
TL IGL is not there TL has nothing to lose in this match pressure is more on BLG and TL coaching staff is not bad
Let them downplay as much as they want, results speak louder than words 😋
So many people on this forrum hate on chinese teams that they undermine them even when they win
TL can win vs your flair 13-1 when they don't have to replace the best player to ever touch the game with a random na tier 2 duelist
Cucknadian government is doing tricks on nAts' visa while simultaneously inviting thousands of 40yo "students" on education visas who later work in Uber.
I hate that i swapped my pickem last minute on the TL/BLG match, i was going back and forth ever since the Nats news, had faith in Penny to make an impact and he did but it wasnt enough.
Tl played better than expected with some crazy hero plays from serial penny and patitek
BLG didn’t have any reads to go on in facing a tl without nats. penny is a good player and put up a good fight, but I think tl only won the rounds they did because blg has little info on their playstyle without nats, while tl has every read on blg
my point. all these guys saying prep time. that went out the window its just 2 teams duking it out and blg won
Fr, I will say tl has a disadvantage by adding a new player, but he seemed to fill his roll and do well in the time they had. Blg just gunned them down ngl
hey thats not a good thing to say, imo Team Liquid were on a big disadvantage, since they didnt have their best player, and igl. but i think that Blg played really well too
