showtime Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 Really disappointing outing by Liquid so far. They're just not jelling together. I think the drafts have just be really bad. Last game they picked a five position Puck, which was awful. Bloodseeker couldn't do anything and got way behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showtime Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 EG was much improved vs VG. Great adjustments. You can see they're not out of position as much and they don't over commit. RTZ is really doing a good job giving up his farm to help Sumail and everyone else win fights by sacrificing himself. When RTZ got 5 kills in a 1v5 tho..... haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
