Liquid in a best of 5

After reflecting on Team Liquids loss to Fnatic I have decided that it was probably better they did not advance. There were two primary reasons for this conclusion. The first being that Liquid were unable to establish any variety in the mid-lane. Having only one pickMalzahar makes a player easy to ban out and highly exposed in a best of five setting. Second ,the tension between their bot lane could have erupted if the games ended up stomps. I think Doublelift showed that he can hang with this competition. Xmithie as well at momentsGragas , but the rest of the team truly faltered. Olleh is a much better player than what he showed us at MSI. In fact I enjoyed watching his mechanics during the regular season. So to watch him misplay on TahmKench so many times was heartbreaking. I want to see Impact improving his carry pool. I feel like he is a truly good player who holds himself back with the mindset that he can only play tanks.Ornn Sion Improvement is needed because his performance on Vladimir was lackluster. Their small champion pools would have really played into the enemies hands in a best of five. Specifically in the mid lane.

Saw the subject header, expected memes. Sadness has ensued.

If Pobelter isn't going to be aggressive in these International tournaments when he's picking these aggressive/hyper carries like Ryze/Malz and only getting around 10-14 kills in each tournament, then he needs to just pick shield like champions and play second fiddle to D-Lift/Impact.
1-2 kills per game isn't going to cut it anymore when games are 25-30 mins long with fights after fights! He NEEDs to be aggressive but he's been in the scene for 5 years now and he still hasn't changed his style of play. So TL will need to either change players or have Impact play less tanks and more AD/AP heavy champions to carry POE's weight.
