cartographers baffled

wings was a USA Team

 

[Shorty11857]

Worst Grand Final ever confirmed


That was so deflating

Was better than TI4, at least we had actual games

 

[LucidMomentum]

Kuroky's been to every TI and this is the first time he's won?

Yep. Sometimes as coach though.

 

[Sianos]

congratulations to team liquid and kuroky <3

 

[close to the edge]

Super happy for Liquid. Finally Kuro wins a TI.

 

[Abilidebob]

I WAS WRONG, PLEASE FORGIVE ME MIRACLE-SENPAI

 

[Pkaz01]

Mind Control is the mvp for sure

Newbee didn't even have a real carry for 2 out of those 3 games.

Definitely some odd drafts on Newbee's part.

Anywho.....

What are we looking at for nerfs/buffs after TI?

They were doing perfectly fine in the last game draft-wise. Going into the mid game at least. But then they just played so badly. Countless pickoffs when they should've had the massive vision advantage with venom wards and so.

And that rosh attempt was just the worst. I can't believe the Earthshaker from Liquid was spotted and still allowed to slow walk over there and fissure + Echo because the SK ignored him and channeled his epi instead -_-

 

[Gav47]

Not bad

Guessing we'll see ES and Nyx nerfs. Not entirely sure they'd go after Husk and KOTL because their main strength comes from specific hero combinations.

 

[Big-E]

Sucks the finals were boring but at least the tournament was good.

Nerf steam sales. Buff steam family sharing.

He was on the verge of breaking into tears though

edit - yeah he's crying now

 

[Hydrophobic]

Ooooooooooh I think I had liquid winning in the grand finals in my bracket. That's one more prediction right!

 

[scarybore]

Kuro was right!

 

[noshten]

Impeccable performance by TL

 

[clockworkinyou]

Good for Liquid. They deserved it.

 

[StriKeVillain]

I'm not crying. You're crying.

 

[Carlius]

Kuroky!

 

[schlynch]

oh my god. so happy for kuroky und die jungz. deserved!

 

[EviLore]

I think I'll walk up and take that DD rune

Why Nyx? Barely saw him this TI, only seen him banned and picked in a few games

 

[MeBecomingI]

Ooooooooooh I think I had liquid winning in the grand finals in my bracket. That's one more prediction right!

Same!

 

[icecreamsnow]

What are we looking at for nerfs/buffs after TI?

Nerfs: Nightstalker, Earthshaker, Alchemist, maybe a small one on Venomancer.

 

[Drkirby]

Fuck yeah Liquid. Shame Newbee sucked so much.

 

[Jay Shadow]

Slacks really was on the winners' bus. He was just a year early.

 

[StrongArmSteady]

9K > 10K

 

[Chris R]

What a terrible day for rain ;_;

 

[xuchu]

Kuroky ;tears of joy;

 

[Hydrophobic]

Why Nyx? Barely saw him this TI, only seen him banned and picked in a few games

We barely saw him because he was banned most games. And he had an 80% win rate when he was picked. Ah I missed the second part. He was a huge presence during groups.

 

[Fuchsdh]

Why Nyx? Barely saw him this TI, only seen him banned and picked in a few games

Because he got banned out to hell and back. Messed up my NS ban prediction too </salt>

I'M JUST CUTTING ONIONS FOR A LASAGNA

Well deserved.

 

[sheamus]

kick BuLba win ti

 

[icecreamsnow]

Aw. Kuro crying

 

[Jebusman]

Because he got banned out to hell and back.

And back to hell. And back.

Spoiler

I miss Lion. Icefrog plz buff so people pick him again

 

[Shinypogs]

That was a disappointing finals but well earned by liquid, it's gonna be quite the story for weeks to come.

Not looking forward to the usualy post TI shuffle and drama but the usual post TI fwosh song should be nice.

 

[Ninman]

TEN MILLION DOLLAR OMNISLASH!!!

 

[sleverfunk]

man im gonna tear up. kuroky who's rarely shows emotion tearing up.

 

[Storm Brewer]

Really happy for liquid and Kuroky especially! But really the true grand finals were lfy vs liquid, kinda quiet finals in comparison.

 

[Trickster]

Oh god cringe, please no

 

[Xeteh]

Man, legit can't believe they did it. China looked so fucking strong all tournament but TL stepped it up something crazy. So stoked for them.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Oh god cringe, please no

lmao yeah, my stream is off.

 

[Technosteve]

they should just drink milk

 

[Gryph]

Do teenage video game pros know how to open champagne? Find out tonight.

Spoiler

Congrats Liquid.

 

[shira]

Champagne opening, need 10k mmr

 

[Chris R]

Do teenage video game pros know how to open champagne? Find out tonight.

Answer is no

 

[Fuchsdh]

And back to hell. And back.

Spoiler

I miss Lion. Icefrog plz buff so people pick him again

Yeah I think the more interesting question is what if any buffs we'll see to Lion, SK, etc. and the guys who never got picked.

Jesus these kids have never opened a champagne bottle?

 

[Eleuin]

Okay this is amazing

 

[clockworkinyou]

my god, the awkwardness returned.
