Shanghai's crowd throwing every great lurk play down the drain. That last Magixx play was smart, he played through the crowd giving him away to the enemy and didn't get greedy after. Still a great game despite the crowd which speaks volumes about the organisers. Great job.

[@superman26755]

Yeah this tournament kinda ass

[@rac8153]

Yeah sadly crowd is going the brazil/Paris way of giving up info/ lurk/ smoke aim/ etc Hopefully they have a full soundproof booth for semi/final

[@keifnoo]

@rac8153 I need a counter-crowd at least at these events. They should start cheering in intervals to throw off the crazy reads these pros are relying on. Give them fake info and they will stop watching for lurks all the time.

The casters in this one are really good, also wtf is that from donk he is by far the best player in this tournament and top fragging every game

[@rac8153]

Donk is battling withMonesy/Niko for the best player this year. Like many analysts have pointed out, his role as entry is more difficult than the traditional awper and his team is weaker. if Spirit get to final, he should get the spot (anyway with HLTV garbage ranking, you never know...)

At least Yeki looked good this tournament, but fr can we olease get a real IGL so twistz can go back to fragging? Pleast dont turn him into another Electronic...

[@tomasosullivan1495]

Yeki has had his chance, a slight uptick at the major isn’t what’s needed for liquid, he has to go. He’s too inconsistent for what is now a significantly lowered ceiling from previous years to be worth a spot on a team that wants to be more ambitious than just wining playoffs. The fact he’s still around for this iteration of liquid is a miracle, he needs to figure something out if he is gonna perform to the level that’s required at a tier 1, maybe some time away could help

The really bad eu transfers imo were when yeki had his choice after becoming igl, the months with Patsi and rainwaker were a joke. I fully agree tho, how malbs sat on 00n and m80 for so long while liquid were struggling is embarrassing as an NA team lol

[@crazytechguy5735]

Didn't get to watch the match live because of work. I just watched the highlights, and Liquid weren't that bad in my opinion, not as bad as how the overall game panned out. I guess Yeki didn't play that bad except for the last round whiff. We really need some serious work in our CT side. Boys were like in limbo during the entire CT half, a lot of times in fact, if not the most. I mean, how difficult is it to hold positions and defend when you are confused rather than making some blatant rotations? Sometimes aim is required more than the IQ, and today was that game, honestly. At this point, I wouldn't mind trading Yeki given how on/off he is in games, but the team itself needs a lot of work. This level of play was already not enough against hard hitters like Heroic, Faze and Vitality. I feel sad for Twistzz, but his tweet already made clear on what was missing. Anyway, props to TS, but this level of play is simply not winning you a major. Any other day, that was TL's win in Dust2. This was simply not it. Not every game is going to go the Donk's way, gifting so many clutches to the team, even though I hope them to. Best wishes. Disclaimer : I do remain Naffer till the end of his Liquid days. The maestro sloth king.

[@rac8153]

Pretty clean 2-0 from Spirit, only disrespected and got cocky vs a weaker opponent at 12-6 in the last map. They should be favorite vs Mouz, Donk/Shiro are still monster and Zontix had finally delivered for a whole BO3. For Liquid it was already a big win to get to playoff after Copenhague disaster. Yet it was after facing the freeest possible way to get there, losing to tier 1 team and then beating Brazil and tier 2 team. They arent good enought to compete with tier 1 team but they showed they can deal with tier 2 during one event.

[@mailll-14]

@@rac8153 I felt like liquid could've won easily against spirit, i felt especially on anubis the t half for liquid should have been more liquid dominant, twistzz out called spirit on many rounds with all those A executes but they failed to close out to many rounds, and then they just were to mid focused on anubis leaving the sites open way to much. and yea twistzz had a shit game individually. On dust 2 their ct start was kinda shit they always over stack on A alongside leaving short open letting spirit getting free A site half the time and then they fucked up their conversion round after pistol and had a poorish start to their t side, and basically a third of their 'comeback' in the t side of dust were due to yeki getting openers on long with were the main reason I believe along with some decent mid rounding. overall I think this series was very winnable so kinda said they choked some very winnable rounds and some of them underperformed in certain rounds but I mean they were only together for half a season so looking forward to next year. (IMO)

It's just sad to watch team liquid. They have the history, and the money and brand to bring in top talents to play for them and be a trophy winning team. Instead the roster they land with is, Twisstz igl, ultimate and yekindar. Replacing yekindar or ultimate(just used as example could be anyone) won't do anything because there are no structure for this team. Who is the star player in this team? If they go Navi route do they seriously have the tactically deep coach and igl?? No in my opinion. This is just ANOTHER 2nd caller ego ruining teams. BlameF, Device, Twisstz,Niko, Electronic, yekindar (vp days), and probably more. 2nd callers who are in their prime who are hltv top 10 material trying to lead a team when they have no knowledge of how to become an igl. Igls are not just callers, they are so much more. They are the leaders of a team and they lead not just with calling but also by their charisma and wit.

[@jordanokon7432]

I think in the long run ultimate will be a good pickup, first map he was cooking but the team didn’t pick up the rest of the slack, second yea he went missing

[@abeg9959]

You obviously have no idea what a good IGL is. “Ego 2nd callers”?. Buddy you always need that 2nd caller. Someone besides that coach that can give there input. People like Niko and Twistzz have experience. Even when Simple was playing. He was the 2nd caller on Navi. Now there is a difference between 2nd caller and Primary IGL. IGLs sacrifice for the team. They make calls and try to put the team in the best position to win. Liquid are not bad even with Twistz as a caller. I do feel like Yekindar does hold them back. Ultimate is a young pro who is newer to the pro scene. With experience he will get better and has amazing potential. He’s already playing great. But don’t go calling 2nd callers ego callers. Literally a dumb take.

[@Frog-2001]

@@abeg9959 You misunderstood my point. Obviously 2nd callers are not ego callers, they are a vital part of the team. I was rather showcasing good 2nd callers like elec and twisstz, getting a big ego and thinking they can become igl and lead a team for trophies WHILE also being induvitually being hltv top 10 material. It doesn't work, liquid isnt spending boat load of money on twisstz so he can igl, they got him because he was an insane player. Igling RUINS you induvitually, only Niko has ever managed to keep an individual level even after igling.
