Liquid ended up taking it 2-0 versus C9, but there were moments during the second game where it looked like C9 could almost hold their own. I hope they stay a bit longer in the lower bracket, I still really enjoy their drafts and gameplay.
Liquid though, woof. They look unbelievably good right now and Nisha looks in absolute top form. Is he the best player in the world right now?
Even their first game C9's team fight looked fairly decent - just completely outmanoeuvred on the map in terms of farm. Maybe the team fights might've gone the other way if they had a vessel or something to counter the insane spell lifesteal on 33.
Liquid looking amazing, but so has other teams in the past and cracked in the grand finals. Insania definitely deserves the title tho.
You're right about game one actually, 33 being a complete menace on SK did steal the spotlight a bit, and again there were multiple fights were it felt like C9 were so close to coming out on top.
Liquid especially has a bit of a record of choking in finals/semi finals so it wouldn't surprise me at all. Though I hope they at least put up a good performance this time, even should they lose.
Both teams played great. Game 1 was a bit one-sided, but Game 2 was a really fun game and (in my opinion) proved that they are definitely competitive against one of the best teams in the world. Really hoping Cloud9 make it to the lower bracket final - their games are really fun to watch and it feels great to cheer for them.
Agreed! I really hope they take it against Falcons tomorrow (though it will be a tall order). Liquid and GG are probably playing the best Dota right now (and have been for a while), but C9 is definitely the team I enjoy cheering for the most.
I'm hoping for the best for Cloud9. Falcons didn't feel like they were on top form at the beginning of the tournament, but a lot has changed since then. But I do think that whoever wins that match will still most likely beat XG/Tundra.
