Liquid's Mistakes

I've always supported Curse and now Liquid, but they are so unreliable each split.

This weekend's TSM game could have been won by simply focussing on Bjergson's flank. It was incredibly telegraphed, but their tunnel vision was too big. I believe that Liquid would have taken TSM down otherwise. In the Dignitas game... firstly, you know by the pick and bans that they are gonna camp Quas. Come on bros. Then when you break their base and kill 4 of them the safer thing would have been to take all objectives and the 2 inhibs again rather than try to finish when you know that Gamsu will be back up in 10 seconds. IWD's shot-calling is very suspect.

I've been saying I don't want to see TSM or another C9 at worlds again because they fail so hard. I wanted to see what other teams would do with that chance. With this weekend's games Liquid doesn't deserve to go to World unless they massively clean things up in the shot calling dept.

I think Liquid's issues this weekend were shot calling ones. They pull back multiple times from 10% health inhibitor towers because it's too risky but then engage in high risk/low reward team fights later on. I think Dominate is over-estimating their team fight prowess and under-estimating the benefits of inhibitor pressure on the map.

If the team analysts noticed it, TL should be able to work it out.
