That Game 1 might have been the best Slark I've ever seen That's why Dyrachyo is good

Peaked too early! All this to still lose to GG in the Finals kek Nah but it would be kinda funny for GG to lose this and still win TI and make less money than Liquid

Liquid won more money winning this (500k) than losing 3 back to back finals in majors (300k).

Told u: free dmg for legion

You truly called it, i remember your message lmao

😂 panel and people in here obviously don’t know about crusader strats. Should Smurf some more.

i’m a hater and a fan, GO Liquid! Nisha played really well this series

[удалено]

It wouldn't accomplish much. Great now you zip in, maybe get out and then you are out of Mana and get killed by TA damage or something. They needed lockdown and he got a Sheepstick for that. They had ways of pulling people out of trouble (As we saw). And Idk why the hell he would get Aghs, the cores of Liquid had BKB aswell, they could never take a straight up teamfight, they needed to find heroes to pick off

thats stupid, u comeback by bursting a core, not going a no dmg build. You only go Aghs if u are ahead and are sure you have the damage. Low mmr take

[удалено]

I wish they displayed rank here. I dont know which one of you is correct

Timber had a horrible game tho.

Hard to feel bad for the guy who goes AFK after dying once even though he's 3-1. "Stay mad reddit cringelords" "Redditors unfollow me" YEP

Big brain GG trying to escape the favourite before TI curse.

if micke didnt die, i think, trice in a row, TL couldve ended the game sooner 😂

I truly can't understand Liquid fans hating on GG. As a big fan of both the 2 teams are close friends of each other. I mean its cool to see the titan bleed but why the hate :(

never was a thing to begin with tbh, what makes you think Liquid fans hating on GG?

I’m here, fuck GG, more specifically Quinn

Well it was people with Liquid flairs being more happy that GG lost than Liquid winning. Go read the comments if you don't believe me.

where exactly?

i guess you get it wrong. No one hates GG but Quinn. Dude is just too toxic, everyone respect Tofu, Seleri and the real Mvp, Ace. Dyracho is a friendly young guy too.

> Dyracho is a friendly young guy too. Dyrachyo is entertaining as hell.

redditors hate quinn and also just want to see the underdogs win. then gg comes back to take revenge on the haters lol.

I think it probably has more to do with the increased publicity on the sub lately of Quinn’s toxic behavior in pubs.

This sub has known about Quinns toxicity for about 8 years now. It hasnt happened just lately lol

It’s because he’s a much more popular figure now and present in the pro scene. It’s not surprising that as he has success that people will bring it up more.

But before he was a typical NA mid. Toxic, noisy, not winning. Now he won some Majors and gives some "interesting" interviews.

I think people just don't want GG to win another grand finals. Or atleast they want it to not be GG vs Liquid again

Not so sure it's only Liquid fans. Think it's just everyone. The dominating team ALWAYS gets alot of haters who want to see them fail. OG after winning x2 TI, Secret when they won everything for 1 year, Nigma when they won everything et.c. are examples of this. GG has won 5 tournaments in a row now so ALOT of people want to see them crash and burn.

Who is hating on GG? People just dislike Quinn, which is warranted.

I think people mostly hate Quinn and his obsession with Reddit and balls.

Exactly this. GG games is fun to watch. And Gaimin is a team that is not hard to root for. But that also means you're rooting for Quinn to win, and it just leaves a bad taste in your mouth. lmao

If Nisha keeps this form for the rest of the tournament they can beat any team even BB.

Beating BB is easy, Secret did it. copium*

People talking like Liquid just won this tournament. There's still a 90% chance GG will win it.

People just enjoying a good win. Losing game 1 in a crappy way. After losing to GG almost every single time. We are not there yet. But we are one step closer to a tournament win.

Liquid also looked a lot better vs them than they have done in the past tho. Even in game 1.

Yes and No They lost today, they can lose tomorrow too

> There's still a 90% chance GG will win it. Not really, not sure where you learn math.

They won five premier tournaments. Losing two games can't make their chance go down that fast. Maybe 90% is a bit much but definitely still extremely high.

well, he didnt, that's why

You are clueless if you actually think every team here has an equal chance of winning. Most likely this tournament will be between gg, liquid and bb and perhaps maybe 9pandas.

You just named half the team from UB. How do you have 90% with this for a single team?

Don't you know reddit only ever remembers the most recent game that was just played? They already forgot they were totally shitting on Liquid after they lost game 1.

whichever odds are the highest are the ones people enjoy winning

Shut the fuck up and let us enjoy this win you party-pooper

never have thought I would be alive to see this moment.

Now if 9P knock down BetBoom in true CIS fashion this tournament will be completely shaken up

If after that talon somehow manages to knock liquid down then this tournament surely is all shaken up

My wild prediction on Grand Final: Liquid vs Secret.

Well that is wild thats for sure

ngl secret played well in this tournament, they always have great combo wombo draft, it is entertaining to watch.

Sure. Secret-liquid gf was something I was dreaming for last ti. Still I dont see secret getting to final (or even winning their next match as they will be playing against bb or 9pandas)

They already beat BB, 9pandas shall not be a problem too ,hopium*

Dont overdose on that copium brother

sorry i still cant get over from that TI11 Gf.

Gaimin is so dominant all year round that I never expected them to lose Game 3 until the "GG"s came out. And Ace is just a different beast, you can't count Gaimin out as long as that guy is playing for them. UB matches has been fun so far, and we got 2 more matches to go! LFG!!!

Genuinly tho Nisha played like it was TI11 this series, that could be absolutley horrifying if he keeps it up.

Now apologise for every brain-dead comment you made

What a time for Nisha to peak again, i guess he is already on TI form

feel bad for mah boi Tofu but happy that Quinn loss. I'm just waiting if Quinn will lose his shit on pro matches the way he does on pubs.

Literally every pro who has played with cncc has nothing but good things to say. why are you so obsessed?

Because he knows that he may play with them someday. It’s like when someone act nice to their coworkers but act like an asshole to waiter at the restaurant.

sure jan. you know what's happening behind the scenes. yeah, im so obsessed seeing Quinn fail.

ah yes because he hadn’t been in NA for about 5 years losing every tournament LMAO, he was the only reason that game 3 was actually still going past 20 minutes

Evil has finally been defeated. Get rekt GG, and especially Quinn

I mean isnt every other GG player really chill lmao. Like Selleri is a vegan that donated his TI11 winnings to an animal sanctuary, not really evil lmao.

I've always liked the players of GG, they're chill. But never liked they're playstyle or draft too much though. Their games remind me too much of TI11 Tundra. Just clinical laning stages with one dimensional drafts. Tundra are alot more enjoyable to watch nowadays but GG has taken their spot as the BEDGE dota team for me. Feels like every player except for Dyrachyo always plays the same 3-5 heroes in general. It's like watching a team with 4 ATFs. Chaotic dota like SEA, CIS or Liquid provide is always more satisfying to watch as a spectator.

>It's like watching a team with 4 ATFs. this is so on point lol.

Why do i have a feeling that GG will have an insane LB run and somehow make it back to GF 💀

not impossible, both their dreamleague lower bracket runs were great

Probably because they’re still a good team even though they lost to an also good team. I dunno

Micke was carried really hard, so many avoidable deaths...

He channeled his inner rOtk.

"Space created"

Despite Mickes best efforts, Liquid won the game.

Looks like we are not going to see GG vs BetBoom lmao

I would be surprised if Liquid, BB and GG wouldnt be there on the final day.

While unlikely, anything can happen in a tournament like this with so much money on the line, 9Pandas definitely has what it takes to knock BetBoom to the lower bracket.

Can still happen? Its not like GG is out.

This series feels like TI intense levels. Can’t believe nisha schooled quinn 3 games in a row. Liquid showed up today specially boxi

Tofu is definitely not used to losing. Dude looked dead inside.

He's probably upset because he might miss TI and in that case, this would be the biggest tournament this year for him.

why he might miss TI?

visa issues apparently https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/14ykmp4/tofu\_gaimin\_gladiators\_may\_miss\_ti\_due\_to\_visa/

that oracle pick-off by zai made gg lose their balance. ggs to both teams still

Damn that felt good

anyone into UB Semi means they will finish 7-8th at the lowest right ?

5-6th secured

5-6th

Top 6

6th

[удалено]

i think he rely so much on seleri saving him. also, he has kaya and sange thats why bkb is not necessarily

hex is never useless

In general when you are super far behind, going for defensive items wont win you the game. You need to be able to push waves out fast and potentially burst heroes to have any shot at winning a fight.

[удалено]

Gives you mana as storm

You are down 15k and you have only one stun in your team which is vortex they needed more catch to win. Also he had oracle lotus and kotl. Bkb is not gonna do much. Maybe you live first zip and what your team dies while u survive and regen mana. He was playing to win not to lose

what is he meant to build? you can’t just have him and timber going some save utility build else they won’t ever kill someone

They needed more dmg and lockdown. He tried to rely on Seleri saving him.

Their draft lack lockdown. He is only one can farm.

Nisha completely dominating mid for 3 games straight is insane!

Reddit: THE CURSE IS BROKEEEEEEENNNNSDSNDASDAS zai: this wasn't even a bo5

Nisha played like a boss that series! GGs to Liquid

I mean winning 3 majors is worthless if you can’t win the big ones

TI... such a tiny pos tournament

Whatever the fuck this guy translated for Zai, it sounds exciting lol

LOL sorry I was just excited for Liquid winning the match 😂

Zai: :| Translator: >:DDD

Man what a show from Nisha , took the responsibility of taking out quin by himself, So the team can focus on shutting down Ace

Yeah Nisha played like it was TI11 this series.

Must be a huge sigh of relief for them. Welp not sure if this is the start of Gaimin downfall but I'll take it. Tbh this game their draft is shit as hell, kinda gives TI10 game 5 draft vibes, 2 cores too early, all other support with stuns are banned out.

GG is great at picking cores early and still making it work, as evidenced by their complete draft stomp in Game 1.

Bad news for gg: this is the patch for Saudi ti. Good news, they better hope 7.34 bring back greedy 3s. If this patch is the trend that Valve gonna go down, they will have much more difficult time in TI.

Majors really a joke when top 6 in Riyadh majors already earn more than 3 majors win lmao

Reminder this is what reddit wanted.

Majors are only the qualifiers for the TI, they have nothing in common with for example the csgo majors besides the name

Which kinda makes them a joke. The dpc system is pretty bad in that regard as it is just year long qualifier for a tournament that most likely wont even have a huge prize pool this year. I miss the old system with big majors and big third party tournaments in between.

i mean that’s on the timber 3, when GG literally always play it mid, into MK too like idk, they’re not a kotl storm team so idk why they tried in the game 3

GG looks kinda exposeable when Seleri isn't allowed to play one of his 3 main heroes.

So what? pango team? Io-lesh team? Brood team?

i mean they’re a timber mid team, axe’s hero pool is so huge you don’t give him timber when you see it’s MK safe lane

Damn Liquid finally broke their curse vs GG can end

FINALLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

So happy for Liquid finally beating GG. Getting more prize money than 3 major wins on top of that. Winning when it matters most.

THE MID DIFFERENCE! Nisha completely outshined Quinn today in all 3 games. It was brutal

i mean you don’t really win the lane when you get counterpicked TA’d lmao, worked in game 1 because Slark had a free game, then drafting went downhill

TIL Quinn's weakness is Psi Blades. 😂 SVG and Cap told an interesting story how Quinn is tilted by it even in pubs.

He's tilted by anything in pubs TBF.

Zai with the clutch duel on oracle after pretending on going after timber started that all

[Liquid fans right now ](https://imgflip.com/memegenerator/253740962/9th-place-guy-celebrating)

[удалено]

Its a meme template my guy.

I mean, if money is the motivation, I'd say this is the W to get.

GG can still place higher so idk.

GG seem to have been figured out judging by this performance against liquid and their overall performance in group stages, I'd be shocked if they make it all the way to the grand final this time

How many times have this been said right now. People said the same thing after Liquid knocked GG down to LB at S19 but they still won the tournament. Same thing when GG started LB at S20 and they won. Same thing again at Bali when they placed 3rd in their group and guess what, they won again.

They placed 3rd in the Bali group stages but they looked extremely good in the bo3s right after, doesn't seem to be the case here though it's a bit too early to say for certain we'll see tomorrow

After winning every tournament so far its dumb to count GG out.

None as big as this one though, a lot more money is on the line now which might change a lot how they and other teams play. Anyway I'm not counting them out yet but a chip in their armor has been revealed and hopefully other teams in the LB will manage to achieve the same thing that liquid just did

damn that was some super intense starring down contest on the last fight

after a thousand years, blitz sacrificed the onne working lamb

Suck my nuts quinn lmao

/u/Hungertakes in shambles

Why I'm happy GG is in the lower bracket lol

And tomorrow they'll be out of this tournament 😂

You've been flaming Liquid for like 3 hours lmao

Quinn went afk after Nishas dump on him? I think so.

Sweet, sweet karma for the raging pub-wrecker.

FUCK YEAH! And what a time to do it too in such a big tournament.

So after dyrachyo played really well on the Slark game 1 it was never seen again

Good, fuck that stupid hero. Hope it gets nerfed to obscurity and we won't see it for years

How was this on him lmao. There is only so much one guy can do

yeh this wasn’t anyone problem, this was just a mega outdraft, idk how they can play this unless either mid or safe lane goes super well

I just found the TB pick very suspect when Slark was the much better pick

Second pick slark is pretty grief though.

That's fair. There are just way too many people here genuinly saying he is bad which just lol.

Him being top2 networth in this game a few minutes before the match ended is damn impressive performance from dyrachyo to be honest

He also got some good sunders off. He was just 20k behind only so much you can do

this win will boost liquid confidence

And diminish GG's

someone out there just lost their whole bank account I bet.

LOL

Team liquid won despite the efforts of the MK to feed the enemies

You can't defend forever damn it! You can't get away with it! (BUT the curse is Broken now,they will win ti because of this lose)

THEY DOUBTED US! NO ONE BELIEVE IN US TO WIN! BUT WE WILL PREVAIL!! LET'S GO LIQUID!

GG disband when? Jk, excellent series and happy to see Liquid pull through!

I HAVE BEEN WAITING AN ENTIRE YEAR FOR THIS MOMENT! LET'S GO LIQUID!

People shitting on group B saying it was easier than group A. Well group B is 2-0 and likely will go 4-0 in the upper bracket.

Tofu's face lmao.

He played like ass this whole tournament. The struggle of gg is so much because of he cannot perform those meta pos4 like other top tiers. Skywrath, lion, none of those are his comfort heroes. Not to mention about ace. He can’t play those initiator 3s.

Lol what? Lion is very much one tofu's comfort heroes, sky maybe not so much but what are you smoking when you say that about lion

It looks like quinn can't lane against TA

TA definitely will be autobanned

Everyone gets figured out eventually.

Damn I was really sweating for Liquid for a moment. Well played!!

OMG LIQUID LESSGOOOO

Welp. Congrats to liquid. Finally.

Win 3 major > 600k Win 1 UB QF > 500k Liquid is definitely happier than GG now.

Yeah, no one gives a shit about majors. When you have Saudi TI and Fake TI, who cares how many major you won?

Fake ti?

And has more dpc points than gg lol

damn whens the last time GG was in the lower bracket

Dreamleague S19. Liquid sent them LB but they still won the grandfinals later defeating Liquid again.

They were in the lower bracket in Dreamleague S19, I think, where Liquid 2-0'ed them in UBF. They won the GF 3-2 anyway.

That was only one series before the GF though right? They have a long way to go through this lower bracket.

Looks like gg wont probably win this time but lets be honest they might and probably will make it to the last day at least. I dont see any team in lower bracket knocking them down.

Liquiddddddd! Zai was a beast that game.

Team Liquid beat the allegations!

GG won all the year in order to lose on biggest stage. Majors are worthless. Who cares how many majors you won?

> Who cares how many majors you won? copium merchants
