Why the gently caress would Liquid cross that tight bridge path when they knew C9 was in that area from vision.

I need to re-watch this game because I missed pick bans and the first half an hour but yeah I'm pretty sure this is the takeaway of this season.

Also lololol doesn't this make Xpecial forever fourth again if they lose?

No, Xpecial used to be part of TSM so he knows what 1st place feels like.

It's completely unfair of me to do because those first two games were pretty impressive from Liquid and pretty chokey from C9, but I'm going to go back and enjoy the Liquid hype posts in this thread now.

That was a great series up until the 30 seconds where IWD and quas let themselves get 1v2d by a level 1 nautilus. I seriously can't believe they stuck around not calling his bluff until lemon had the backup and the jungle beat the poo poo out of them.

poo poo or get off the pot, and they got really dumped on, and that started the top lane hec snowball.

They had a level 2 sej and a level 1 alistar and a decision - they had two good options: turn on him and force him out and/or kill him and return to the blue side jungle, or just piss off and go over to wraiths. edit: by that I mean, Naut passive only procs once every 9 seconds, it's not the reason they lost that fight.

It's a strong play from Lemon because both options slow them down and he can just waddle out (which is why he did the invade in the first place) but taking the third option of "hey, he probably went back to lane and forgot about us" - while wolves and gromp eat both of them alive - was totally not a good play and they paid the worst price just to save 15-20 seconds in the jungle. The casters going "this would have been a remake if they were scrimming" says it all.

Oh yeah, absolutely, they were playing too greedy and paid for it. I meant more that it seemed like they underestimated it, so their halfhearted attempts at dealing with him fell really flat. I think people kind of underestimate the power of early jungle creep. When I invade a buff early and get discovered, if there's a slow reaction by the enemy laners I just dance around the buff forcing them to keep aggro and it lets you win fights way too easily if they don't handle the situation well.

The level one skirmish got posted. Dom and Quas had no less than four opportunities to disengage, and then picked the fight. You said it man, greed.

I seriously don't get why they didn't just stay with him and 2v1 him down the river until either Sneaky is forced to come up and respond or they at least know he's for sure gone. Instead they just let him stick around for whatever reason.

They're not fourth yet, they'd have to lose to the loser of TiP vs TSM.
