TL vs TIP, one of the greatest games ever played
If you missed it, be sure to watch the VOD. Awesome game showing why you never surrender, anything can happen.

First cloud 9 wrecks TSM then this. What a day
That was such a good game. That backdoor at the end was awesome! SHURIMAN POWER!!
I hope TIP wins World's, because this game makes me want an Impact Gnar skin.
Great game, but, to be fair, for the players, there was never too much indication that it was one sided like most surrenders. Impulse had their turrets pushed in, sure, but they knew they lacked early game dominance, and were still close in gold because they farmed extremely well and won a few teamfights. Then when it started swinging the other way, Liquid still had several dragons advantage and only needed one good fight to win the game, not several.
It was a great game, but it was in no way similar to most of the surrenders I've seen.
It was a nail-biter, but not the best of games from the viewpoint of brilliant playing. TL had most of the advantages for most of the game, and almost threw it. A 25-35 minute game turned into a marathon just because they started throwing, even if they held together well enough to eventually close it out.
Some of those late fights were intense, close, and skillful. But it only got there because of some big greedy TL derps.
