That time when Team Liquid was clueless about Ana's IO carry

Throwback to when Team Liquid couldn't figure out OG Esports pick in TI 9 Grand Finals Game 4 that pick was insane 48-8, 5-0 in main stage #dota2 #theinternational2019

[@erickcolier6159]

Miracle: i won my last game with BB. Ana: I have 48-8 w/l and 15 Wins in a Row, now its 16 😂

[@j_jr]

53/8 cuz lobby doesnt count 😂

48-8 isn't really that scary compared to some 200 wins 30 loses arc warden, timber, TB.

They were already playing it during group stage right.

[@trollinggaming9903]

Liquid already beat carry IO vs Team Secret, but with meepo and lesh. They have the good strategy against them, but they have bad heroes to execute it. In the Liquid vs Secret, both meepo and lesh can push a lane alone, but this team comp cannot do it.

[@UmarRosyad]

Only MC notice the pattern..

[@ravennsiregar]

kuro indeed are slow. put MC on captain and kuro back to carry. Or just disband kuro

[@chic-fil-ashouldopenonsund3623]

It was too late tho. And him telling everyone else in liquid to not pick their heroes immediately was useless for that game coz it was clear cut who was playing what in liquid

Because abaddon, timber and tiny is confusing 😂. If you are in the right mind playing dota, one would expect that gyro carry and timber mid. That is why OG is really something else.

[@marim8798]

Io carry was good... But really.. Liquid had that game going in their favour. For me it wasn't the IO carty but the Diffusal gyro was what changes the game

[@chic-fil-ashouldopenonsund3623]

Agree but OG was still lacking damage. The io carry just completed that lineup. Liquid just couldnt focus on one of them coz kill io, gyro gonna burn mana and youll die to io spirits and timber. Kill gyro to get rid of manaburn, io keeps him alive while he's killing you together with timber. You just cant ignore it. Liquid didnt have any burst to take down one or the other.

i love how Kuro is always so confident on his own judgement and shuts everyone else's. Kuro is a bad leader.

[@UmarRosyad]

I don't think they're clueless, because they ban the iO 3 games before this as I remember Liquid just decided to play on their comfort in the last chance they had

[@DarliaZombino]

Yeah its misleading, they were only confused cause of the gyropick who playing what. Ana played it multiple times before that ti, so of course they knew of it.

[@farizizzwan7765]

How can u blame them if they're confused bout io carry or not when they got gyro timber aba in the team. All of them were common sense heroes w role. It was 2019 dota playstyle before people started to play sup hero as core and core hero as sup like u have nowdays as tb pos 4/5. And its literally basic combo w gyro 1 n io 5. Hence, narrow their lineup draft w timber tiny abaddon flexible and OG make it work as u can see in ti9

[@degenkek]

Because OG was infamous for using it earlier in the tournament (e.g., against Newbee)

[@nguyenkhoa364]

[@ShemskaDota]

Yeah that’s why ppl are complaining and begging for valve to release the true sight asap

[@user-vx2jj9xy5c]

LMAO come on. This is so clueless from the channel. Everyone was banning IO against OG in TI9 because it was broken and only Ana knew how to play it well. Liquid played against Nisha’s Io carry before reaching Grand Finals and OG has used Io carry in games before the GF. Please get your facts straight. Miracle told Kuro to let the Io through and play against it. But it didn’t work out. That was all. It was a broken hero and got nerfed not long after TI9.

why are you blaming the channel lol, he just started the fact that liquid are clueless and in the video we saw itself they are actually clueless it's a carry io
