Team Liquid a huge disappointment

Is it just me, or has TL completely fallen flat this worlds?

They have looked pathetic in their 3 losses so far to KT (2) and EDG. Pobelter's death versus KT game 2 under tower was possibly the biggest int I have seen so far at worlds 2018. It was either beyond challenger level play or below Iron because I can't understand what the purpose of his distortion forward was (played LeBlanc).

I get that these are really good teams, but I think we should expect better from NA's champions.

GL to these guys - they need it.

Honestly i think its about on par with there performance because when it comes to the international stage they have a harder time then with just NA only teams MSI being a good example of this. It seems they just can't figure out what they need to do in order to take down strong international teams because being strong vs your own region is one thing but being strong vs teams your rarely play against is a different story.

C9 made it out of the group, that's already doing the best NA can do.

Idk wtf you people expect.

Nah.

It was their first year at both MSI and Worlds.

They gotta go three more time to win it all at both of them.

First time as the TL team, but not the first time for most of the players in the roster.

So much for the NA superteam....

They got stuck in group C with the #1 KR team and the best team from all of play-ins in EDG. Meanwhile group A...

And C9 got stuck with the best team in China and Gen. G. Team Vitality also played very well and C9 had to really show they deserved to get past group stage. While the heavy underperformance of Gen. G. contributed to that, they still deserve their spot. TL could have done the same (and get out as 2nd seed), if they didn't choke on international stage.
