Imagine being Team Liquid in November 2016 and you're struggling to win games against Kaipi.

Turns out Underlord does a real good Naga impersonation. Also Riki ult + mag RP is a good combo

The way they laned, putting n0tail on the 1 position Void, giving the space to Jerax was real loving smart.

That last teamfight wasn't, but, man, it's real neat to see OG making it work.

That guy is nuts since Notail was great for some time on Secret, but Miracle-OG was streaky and a large part of the bad parts has been Notail on a core hero and losing his nerve or something. I said immediately after Manila that they'd choke at TI and he would be the cause, and while I was making a prediction stabbing in the dark at the most likely of targets, it was funny (to me, at least) when it was true.

It just looks rosier for OG that the good times have had them place first, which often is the only thing Dota players ever care about and many teams implode or are looked at as lackluster if they don't place first. See also C9, which placed second on a bunch of tourneys and was considered a choker more often than one of the most stable teams. If OG had placed second at those Majors because they lost one game here or there at an important moment, people would be calling them a lot worse things than 2016's best new team.

Notail really wasn't the problem with OG at TI

I thought Notail was quite obviously the weakest link on OG for most of the games I saw them play this year. I haven't really seen them play much since TI though.

Notail always looks like the weak link because he was creating space for Miracle constantly. Look at Liquid and tell me how Miracle is doing lol
